Plug for Lacanian psychotherapy. Lacanians are focused, disciplined, and smart. There aren't many of them, either. Dig around, read a little about Jacques Lacan; if it piques your interest, give it a shot.

Do you not think your own time is worth that much, if not more, given the mind-blowing amount of business value added by even the most horrible and unmaintainable pieces of software? Or are you saying that only midwits charge $100/hr,

Oh trust me, I get it. I think it can be a helpful tool, certainly; but making an equivocation between the two, then holding a trial for the discipline of software engineering for performing poorly in a rigged comparison strikes me as a poo

This assumption holds more often than not; but it does not always hold. HN: the worst thing out there, except for everything else!

It's really weird that we keep using construction metaphors when we're talking about software engineering.

That all sounds nice, but the fact of the matter is that Richard Stallman is one of the few anchors left, keeping the Overton window of the politics of software from falling all of the way into the ocean. Personally, I used to think that St

One of the biggest reasons that I went through the trouble of switching to a Surface Book 3 + Surface Dock 2 was to make _damn sure_ that my desk docking station setup worked well. (Plus, I'm a sucker for the Surface Magsafe-ripoff con

Sure, but in order to do that, you need to know how to teach people how to want; and then, you have to be able to do that. NB, those two things generally comprise two different skillsets. You need a product that is powerful enough to give y

Personally, I've been waiting for an app like this for a long time. I don't use social media, but I have a group chat with a handful of close friends. Sometimes, I like to insert emojis into a photo for comedic effect. Now I can d

It's very naive! "We were hiding the truth then... but we're TOTALLY not now." Mmhmm. Sure. For my part, I find it best practice not to trust government any further than I can (over)throw them.

And why do you think that is? Because nobody takes responsibility for their actions or emotions anymore. Why should they - they don't need to - we've pathologized everything, from behavioral issues to depression (nobody ever says

Social policy should be dictated by a government that is "by the people, for the people". We the People should be able to make these decisions, by a vote, on our own behalf. That was the plan. Obviously, the American political sys

The problem here, as I see it, is that Silicon Valley is becoming increasingly interested in moderating and enforcing social policy. If this doesn't scare you, it should.
