I believe Wikipedia is not only the greatest and most perfect website to exist, but also one of the greatest accomplishments of humankind. I rarely use such strong, ostensibly hyperbolic language without sarcasm, but I couldn't be more

Naw. Recently tried some again. Not gonna name names. I was so immediately blocked by lack of flexibility I just went back to code before going deeper into the sunk cost fallacy. It seems like these no/lowcode things need to approach t

I returned mine. In my opinion, it did exactly one thing, and one thing poorly. You're supposed to be able to write "like paper" but it's heavier than a notebook, has exactly the one feature, and doesn't even have a

> I think the risk that the wealthiest few will rule the world is largely misplaced and overblown. This has literally been reality in every sense for all of history, and the point here is it's getting worse which a quick google will

Sure, that's good and all makes sense. I am somewhere in the middle of a venn diagram that includes all these tribes, plus mercenaries and many other things that aren't described, as I'm sure many of us are. I do think it sho

Yeah, I see plenty of articles on either side of the extreme (that obnoxious "Programming sucks" post comes to mind). You have a great point. The large mercenary class in the industry is just not as visible because the nature of i

I came to the comment section looking for the mercenaries like you, knowing I'd find them, because I knew it was by far the largest group and oddly omitted from the article. > We self-select into communities of our peers based on th

Yeah I mean, sure you 'construct' and 'architect' the web page but you definitely still 'style' it and using different words doesn't make CSS any less annoying to use

I would argue that attention is the most valuable asset for productivity in every case, period. I guess I sort of thought this went without saying. The details in this article are great, I'm a productivity geek despite never really get

I also have to point out one of the most terrifying science fiction short stories ever written, "I have no mouth and I must scream." Search it online and you'll find a pdf somewhere. It's short and definitely worth a rea

iOS is still miles ahead of Android and those are the only real choices. Plus the privacy thing. Plus development on Apple products is better.

This is so obvious. Defund the police, and regulate their roles. Prioritize rape/violence/home invasion, deprioritize protests/drugs/etc., and as you say punish offenders. This is obvious.

Exactly! Meets all of the requirements.

I love this. I've been wanting something just like this. Thank you!

If you have good ideas for products, don't waste time thinking about their scalability at first. Just use whatever tools are easiest for you to learn to get the job done, get it in front of people, and learn what you need to from there

I don't think they're strictly saying holding dollars is bad right now, just that it could be if inflation became a thing, which is not happening because as said by someone else, almost all other currencies are in the same boat. P

Thanks, yeah this isn't like fewer earthquakes, it's less non-tectonic movement so we can hear the earthquakes better.

Definitely new to me.

It does now. There was some back and forth for a day or so and dispensaries I work with got some emails to the contrary before the official announcement. At this point all legal states deem it essential and most are legalizing delivery too.

How has this not been painfully obvious to everyone in the world for weeks? I really don't understand why it is taking so long for people to accept this.

by elliotec 7y ago
No it doesn’t. It explicitly does not include cannabis dispensaries. And cannabis is medicine, Tesla is... fancy cars.

I tried this on three of my own articles. It worked very poorly. There’s a lot of room for improvement before asking people to pay for it IMO. I may try my hand at writing one with the reqs outlined in the top comment just for a fun coding
