It'd be nice to find ways to fund open source without closing off aspects of it. Also, capitalizing on FOSS with a walled garden product like this, with a middleman cashing out, doesn't feel right. I'd like to keep my choice

As for the "wrong sort of people" - iirc, most dangerous ingredients and chemicals from the 90s were diet pills, calorie free sweeteners, appetite suppressants, etc. We'd rather die than have a little dad bod.

I don't agree that all designers do this; but it's certainly common. Are you extending that criticism to the designers of respected professional tools like Photoshop, Logic, Final Cut, MS Word, etc? Those are products refined ov

I wrote them about that. You should too. Offer to pay more in exchange for fewer ads. Maybe they'll listen.

It was a catastrophe. Not surprised they gloss over it. Plus Phish is more polarizing than Trump so it's dangerous to associate with your brand. Songs are longer than chess matches.

HN is more stateless than the average internet forum. HN could embrace moving the forum forward beyond threads and votes, and maybe you'd have a platform that you could moderate fairly and didn't require so much self censorship; a

Why does it need to be anonymous? To me it seems the public can't be persuaded that paying for something is better than getting it "for free" (with ads and tracking)

Are you saying that the political will of a corporation is no more or less than the sum of the political wills of the people in the corporation?

It's worse than that. They bailed on voting and had a human watching the chat for audience moves.

And it's Phish's "Dinner and a Rematch" that annihilated their infrastructure on 12/31/20 and is no doubt bringing about these projects.

I'm not saying that exactly. I'm just saying you're better off if you don't get killed by the people you're trying to persuade.

This can be by design, so your risk takers always fail, and thus you can say you encourage risk takers but always have cause to fire them, resulting in a team of sycophants with a "culture of autonomy".

You can't just go around recognizing what people don't understand. That's what got Socrates killed. You've gotta make them understand what they don't understand without making them want to kill you. That's what

Difficulty of task never excuses doing a lazy job. Especially if you hope people will pay you.

Snowpack got really really slow after I added a few dependencies. Also, it can't reuse its cache between a docker container and my laptop... I was hoping the cache would be portable but it's not. It needed more restarts than webp

Just complain to management that your reviewer is being mean and that you need to get this feature deployed right away for growth. Promise to monitor closely in production and go home.

Depends on the purity of the laugh you're after. Obviously there are roasts, but if comedy had a score it'd be laughs and cheap shots always split the laughs with groans.
