I think there’s something to be said for having an item to center a ritual around. Similar to the “talking stick” concept. Gives people an excuse to share, which can otherwise be hard to find. Also - great idea while in lockdown.

I mean they’re in meeting rooms pretty often, but they’re not special fancy conference rooms. Just used for meetings like everyone else, and they have a lot of meetings because they run the company. I could use the meeting rooms just as muc

That doesn’t really explain why it is bad, it just asserts that “dumb terminals” are bad.

“Below average at best”?! Apple is famously a forerunner of personal computing. They invented most of the mobile UI design language used today. Every OS they’ve built is extremely premium. Their natural language processing is best-in-class.

I love this concept! Super invaluable for those wanting to learn best practices, or what "good/production code" looks like in various languages. Instant bookmark.

That’s the same for everything, no? I assume most JavaScript websites come packaged with their (transpiled, minified) versions of the “standard library” of whatever framework they’re using. And that has to be transmitted as gzipped bundles

You only need to package your runtime if you’re using a language that requires a runtime :) Languages that perform their own memory management (C, C++, Rust etc) will be extremely small. Just one big array of bytes/instructions.

I bought an iPad Air specifically for this purpose. It is fantastic, and even better with the pencil. I was hesitant at first, but it’s probably my favourite device now. I purely use it to read PDFs and write little notes on them.

I’m new to Rust, and definitely guilty of all this :) do you know of any good resources which discuss transforming your data model to align with the borrow checker? Or is this just something that comes naturally with time?

I'm currently trying to implement an ActivityPub-compliant API. It's super hard, and very annoying to get my head around JSON-LD and the various "undocumented" behaviours, especially without mature third-party libraries.

I don’t think it should be very high priority for them. They’re a startup, they need to focus on the fastest and most effective way to create value for their users, today. No point optimising the product if the company dies before it starts

I'm the most dysfunctional wannabe founder ever, so I am 100% not qualified to answer this :) With that said, I think product/solution ambiguity is rooted in confusion about the problem being solved. It comes from starting with an

Yes! I discovered the same thing, but with Sketch. I think it's because you can explore the problem space, and converge on solution, much faster when you don't have to bother with code. Going further down that line of thought, pen

Semi-related. Whenever I'm building something, I get really strong tunnel vision. Part of what makes me a good engineer – submerging myself extremely deep and specific context, "the zone" – seems to work against me becoming

Assuming a single free development account, I'd happily pay $10 or $20 per additional user if it means I can find a concept with decent product-market fit. I can then build it more cheaply myself. Iteration speed is incredibly valuable

I find this trend really interesting, and agree that its one of the potential futures of personal computing. I've heard, on HN, people lamenting that an early vision of computing –– people creating their own applications –– has not a

I've been thinking of creating a small/intimate Mastodon instance purely for this reason. Do you have any thoughts on that?

This looks... really cool. Good luck! I love the concept of an open game development platform , and especially the automatic multiplayer. I hope this succeeds.

9USD for a single article is a fair bit more affordable than the standard research article price. They normally run from $30ea up to a few hundred, depending on the source.

I’d encourage you to just practice “reading academia”. I love reading papers - it’s like going on a Wikipedia rabbit hole, but with much more detailed information. I’m not an academic or researcher myself. The common advice is to read the a
