None of that stuff would be possible without government. It's a statism run amok. It's the same story every time. Something works relatively OK (US health care before 20 century big-gov), huge changes to incentive structure and ov

Good example why using HTMX is usually a great idea. You can do your joins right there in the DB, it's easy and natural. SPAs are only a good idea if you ignore all the complexity required to make them actually work decently - like car

I like KDE on technical level, but I can never fully reproduce the Gnome's "Meta key/hot right upper corner expose" flow, which really grew onto me over the years. Also, last time I tried (a year ago) it was simply crash

Do you apply the same reasoning when government tells you something else that is obviously true and good advise, e.g. to wash your hands after you used a restroom?

First you hire more selectively, slower, with higher "fit" requirements (talented, flexible, aligned with technical choices), and everyone are well motivated, so it just doesn't happen that often. You just accept that people

Yes. I work in 2nd one in my life currently, around 30 people, 15 technical/15 non-technical, remote. Not a single manager. I think we can scale it to 50. At some size I guess it would become harder, but I'd like to think it the s

Coherent group of adults can hire, support, set expectations, evaluate contributions and resolve conflict among themselves. If someone really does a bad job, the group will build a consensus and escalate the problem. If you save on managers

Taking on debt or agreeing on contracts is voluntary (unless violence is used). Lobbying could maybe be considered violence by proxy because state can use violence. Violence has meaning, and trying to abuse it to put every single thing some

Sure email became terribly centralized to the point of self-hosting being near impossible. Primarily because it's super old. But you can still use Protonmail or Fastmail. And email is less important as a communication platform than it

There is no feudalism without violence. No one is forcing anyone to host stuff in the cloud, no one is forcing anyone to use Gmail, no one is forcing anyone to use iPhone or Android device, use Facebook or Twitter, etc. Everybody does it be

It comes down to misleading people really. The act of creating a cryptocurrency is never a scam in itself, but how people try to get other people to use/buy into it can often is (e.g. promising/guaranteeing increase in value, lyin

Agreed. Apple has a full right to collect as much money as it can from users of the platform they've built and maintain. I wish the cut was more like 50%, to benefit my stocks, while I'm using exclusively FOSS and pay nothing. The

Disney & sky resorts are private and are free to charge who they want how they want. You don't like it? Don't use it. But the TSA thing is ridiculous, because it is mandated by the government and their responsibility is to mak
