You can’t visit a web site with a gopher browser. The scenario you describe doesn’t make sense.

I don’t think people expressing their identity markers online is going to stop happening anytime soon. Gender is a pretty fundamental part of most people’s identity.

I have a couple of friends who have made incredible progress dealing with severe trauma through MDMA therapy. Mental health research and treatment needs more funding across the board. There is so much potential for healing that is being squ

Well the alternative you’re working with there is only the wealthy are able to afford that healthcare. Poor people just can’t. How is that better?

I think the problem in this case was that the entire file was the script that ran top to bottom. It’s not so much that the file was big, but that the function was huge and impossible to reason about. I agree that obsessing over file length

I did that and made a point of following only people who tweet things that are interesting or funny. I would mute any account they posted something that made me feel bad. But Twitter kept finding ways to recommend tweets that would get unde

You assume there is some interest in the viewpoint in any way whatsoever. There are vast subsets of humanity that I don’t want to hear anything from. Life is too short.

I think when starting out a design the non-goals are just as important as the goals.

I’m not familiar with the background of the poster you replied to, but your assumption that they are not simply choosing a common name from their culture is telling.

Yeah, it’s the real world tasks that GeekBench tries to simulate that don’t tend to scale linearity with processor count. A lot of software does not take good advantage of multiple cores.

Racism is not just perceiving one race as superior to another. It is about prejudice, which stereotypes promulgate.

O’Rourke has written hundreds of thousands of words that promote racist ideas. Of course people will always debate whether making racist jokes make one a racist, but the sheer volume of his work is surely evidence of a kind.

Lol how is “ha ha Chinese eat dogs” not racist. It’s playing on the racist stereotype that asian people eat dogs. (It is true that in some parts of Asia they eat dogs but not in China.)

If you’re a prolific writer then the occasion of your death will inevitably be a time for the public to reflect on your life’s work. He was intentionally antagonistic, so it’s actually a sign of respect, not the opposite, that people contin

What’s scary is the huge number of bugs in the Linux kernel that wouldn’t exist if it were written in a safer language. https://syzkaller.appspot.com/upstream

People often suggest forking large projects like this, as if it would solve a problem. If you actually think through what that would entail, you'll find that it would actually create more problems. The people that actually do the work

I worked at a startup whose product wasn’t that great but the CEO aggressively networked and marketed and he made it work. It’s so important.

That’s not really how software patents are (ab)used. Just having the patent and a vaguely credible claim that someone is using the patented technology is enough to encumber them with enough legal issues that many people will settle instead

What this really means that once you get to a certain level of experience and seniority the actual code you write in the small is pretty much irrelevant. What matters is the overall architecture of what you’re building: the data structures

Not sure where to go from here except to say I disagree with your characterisation of these events, and the events you have chosen to represent the history of these things.

I thought the implication was they’d have to tell the kids that he died. That he didn’t say goodbye is something they’ll immediately know themselves.

Except neither of those things are true! GUIs were tremendously exciting from the start and when Apple launched the iPhone saying “just build web apps” everyone was disappointed. How did you even think to offer those examples?
