I'll take a crack here: they believe the need should be solved elsehow. They see the "I want to send a message later because I don't want to bug anybody" need as better solved from the other end: "I don't want

If you’re not familiar, RPGs call a similar mechanic to this “active time battle” or ATB—more or less turn-based but the turns are asynchronous and constantly ticking, and if you miss giving an order before one elapses, it’s gone. I know t

I'm fine with this sacrifice -- if someone downloads HEAD, they are not running a "version", so it would be misleading to have the source think it's at 1.0 or 1.1 if really it's at a commit between those two version

This is all true, but not actionable. OP was speaking to consumers about things they can do within their control, and for that purpose it’s a great post.

Between formulae and casks, package management feels first class. I can `brew install discord steam ffmpeg` and it all just works.

Competition will do the work—if my business deals with the tax by raising prices for consumers, your business can instead invest into R&D to figure out how to keep prices steady. Your business wins, and the consumer wins.

I worked in public full time for a year—open source, open revenue, ~weekly Twitch development streams. The experience was net positive, but it’s not for everyone. Being open source bought a lot of good will and led directly to a hire becaus

I spent one year working on an open source “side” project full time. I had savings and my wife continued to have income so I had plenty of safety net (thanks honey), with a goal of seeing whether I could sustain doing it indefinitely. My ex

The point here is that the ski trip is not a perk, but an investment in company productivity via social lubrication. The company believes it is getting more for its money by sending the team on a ski trip, than it would depositing those sam

Based on your phrasing I’m still not sure if you understand parent—yes, the author had to type “httpie/httpie”, but due to GitHub’s user-level README repo feature, _that specific repo name_ conventionally would be a README repo, which

Can't understand why this comment is so far down on the page. Apple Music has 98M users [1]. Let's say conservatively users listen to one song per day and update metadata on one song per month. That's 30 * 0.5 MB * 98M ~= 1 p

This is a really cool idea! It feels like this and similar nifty products, combined with RSS, could stand a better chance of decentralizing microblogging than Mastodon.

It really does work great! And thanks for the suggestion -- I've added an RSS feed!

This is cool and quirky, but if the core problem is really just “when you email me I might forget to reply” I’d first look at reducing noise, not adding signal. For all its weird preachy branding, the idea of inbox zero is a great for impli

I don’t believe that is what the author is saying: > Use illustrations as supplementary, not instead of information. If anything, the author’s argument explicitly allows meme images and emoji.
