This is one of the reasons I chose Perl as the "foundation language" for my project, Pollyanna Framework. It's an off-Internet capable Web-based discussion system that can run using regular Web hosting, but can also be run lo

Richard Stallman is alive and well, just had dinner with him earlier this month. You can set up a FOSS toolchain to do similar work, it’s just something I haven’t spent the time on. I probably should.

Much, much faster, and I’d say the code is more formal, and I’ve never had such a complete test suite. The downside is I don’t have as much of a grasp on what’s actually happening in my project, while with hand-written projects I’d know eve

Thank you for sharing. I taught some workshops on AI-assisted development using Cursor a Windsurf for MIT students (we built an application and wrote a book) and TAed another similar for-credit course. I’ve also been teaching high schoolers

I’ve implemented and maintained an entire web app with CC, and also used many other tools (and took classes and taught workshops on using AI coding tools). The most effective way I’ve found to use CC so far is this workflow: Have a detailed

What has helped me with this is committing to doing one small thing, a very small task, an outrageously small task per day. This might be one minute of meditation; one commit to my project, no matter how small; one pushup. I can then stop,

For me, it is God and the Bible. I was not raised religious, and only slowly and gradually became first spiritual and then religious through watching others. It has given me much peace and emotional stability, and many things I used to stru

Having a copy of slides open during lecture is a total game-changer for technical classes. You can follow along and keep 2-3 slides open at a time to have a better sense of the context, skip back to review an idea, screenshot and get clarif

As another comment mentioned, frames were originally a proprietary Netscape feature and required special attention to make accessible to any other browser (using the noframes tag and providing links to the framed content, for example). Othe

With Reddit, I unsubscribed from all the defaults and only subscribe to small, specific subs, which I browse via the Home page and via /new. If I see anything undesirable, I unsubscribe right away. It is a pretty good experience as of

My strategy is to do a lot of "Not interested" curation about any negative content, like ragebait, thirstbait, politics, etc. This leaves mostly meditation and health advice, spiritual and religious uplifting content, cute animals

I suspect that it is emergent behavior that even the ad companies themselves aren't aware of. I have definitely experienced it myself, and have no doubts that it happens.

It does not have a command for it. I don’t want it to happen every time I reopen Chrome, but only when I call the command.

Depending on how beefy of a machine you're using, they're much slower in Firefox.

You may not like it, but I don't think it's a good reason to remove the option of enabling it for those who rely on it for daily work, which is what Chrome did.

For me, the product differentiation of Firefox is a bunch of small convenience features which Chrome in its monolithism refuses to provide, such as: Allowing Backspace to go back a page. The built-in screenshot tool. Being able to turn off
