This is a great read, but I'm slightly uncomfortable with the thought of technological progress as a deterministic process and of ourselves as mere victims of it. I think (and I'm not alone in this, Judy Wajcman and other people d

I think my code has improved quite a lot since I've been thinking empathically about current and future colleagues. If you keep in mind that this code will be read by other people, and if you really want them not to have a terrible tim

There seems to be a revival of everything fermented at the moment, thanks to people like Sandor Katz and (to less extend) Brad Leone. I've recently bought The Art of Fermentation by the former, and although I've been impressed by

The problem is that there's a lot of "fake it until you make it" in the industry, and we don't have time to actually interview individually all of the applicants you get for a job opening. I use a set of questions during

This is actually amazing. I always thought that this "seeing in systems" was also the cause of the lack of empathy that traditionally has been attributed to engineers (being this an unfair stereotype or not). There are several com

Yes, I thought exactly the same. And immediately after: "then what's the point...?"

Is your central thesis that poor people are poor because they don't work hard enough?

From what I understand, people other than you and your friend will only trust one of your accounts (the real one), and will only accept money from it. So even though you might have 100 FakeYous, you will only be able to pay with RealYous.

"Tighter gun controls" doesn't always lead to "harder access to guns". How strong is the black market in Brazil (for everything, not only guns). How strong it is in the USA? How easy is to access otherwise prohibite

It's the second time you mention this without providing any source. Can you please elaborate?

> As it stands, in the developed world more guns does not equate to more violence or more deaths. Sources? Do you mean "more guns" or "easier access to guns"?

"at the moment"? No pun intended?

by hectorlorenzo 9y ago
I think that moment.js was already built that way. For me it kinda makes sense: if days are calculated with a 1-index in mind, why make months different? As I said: it KINDA makes sense.

First, do you agree that there are experts in some fields? If yes, why the quotes on these experts? If these specific experts deserved the quotes, then, were they the right people to be called to testify in a court case? Second, you've

Ironically, you are preaching to the choir, and not adding much to the conversation. No wonder atheists are the new vegans.

This reminds me of Braintree and their hidden games in the source code. They used to have it some time ago: there were some links and instructions in the source code that you could use to access some URLs with classic videogames, Braintree

I hope there's a third way: ready for kids, still don't want to have any!

by hectorlorenzo 9y ago
Slightly off-topic, but that is the main reason I do not want to have kids: I am not sure I would like the kind of person I would become. Sometimes I am already paralysed by fear when thoughts about my future take a dark turn (relatively of

I agree, that's a nicer solution, but still one that could be solved working on a agreed set of principles on a shared "monolithic" framework. Part of the appeal of React and Vue is that you can think of components as black b
