Sure, degrees don't _guarantee_ you'll be successful. That's just a misguided expectation. You might even create constraints to help you get there. Not all goals are misguided, and constraints can be misguided, too. Do constr

Seems a little contradictory. For example: "Constraints scale better because they don’t assume knowledge. They are adaptive. They respond to feedback. A small team that decides, "We will not hire until we have product-market fit&q

> I would add: successful people navigate worlds. Children play games. Seems kind of arrogant. I personally view goals and constraints as different kind of tools that are both helpful.

Goals have always been more like milestones to me and also something that you can change. I see goals and constraints both as different kind of tools to be used. If you decide to change direction, both of them can change.

It does, you'll probably have to enable proton in Steam settings. Also, in the store pages, you can see Steam Deck compatibility rating (and details about that) which means linux in practice. Some warnings regarding small text in some

I now run KDE on Fedora after I got fed up with snaps and bugs in Ubuntu 24.04. For linux newbies, I'd actually suggest checking out Linux Mint with Cinnamon desktop. I used to run Mint a long time ago and recently installed it for som

The point is that trade-offs are a fact of life. Some problems get solved, other problems appear. I'm not saying the new problems shouldn't be addressed, I'm just talking in general and I believe there are many kinds of solut

I agree. Smart contracts or other functionality integrated into wallets could also improve usability e.g. regarding irreversibility and user mistakes. Base layer doesn't have to be the final way to use cryptocurrencies and it isn'

The banks here have said that if you get scammed and money has been transferred (no cryptocurrency involved), there's nothing they can do. It was a bit surprising to hear since you only hear cryptocurrency transactions being irreversib

I disagree. Flatpak pros: - installing: easy to locate, install and has centralized management for updates. - flatpaks are also persistent. User-installs are in the home dir. - sandboxing built-in. Can't comment on other stuff. Haven&

This is also why it's often frustrating to try to understand people's opinions regarding programming and code. There's almost always too little context, even without handwavy or subjective stuff like "it's too compl

I don't claim to know the answer but flatpaks have easier distribution (flathub), package management, sandboxing, can share runtimes and are also portable in the sense that they work across linux distros. AppImage is a simple and even

I don't think that's necessarily true. Why not offer alternative feeds or filters then? I think maximizing profit and sacrificing usability is a very clear motivator in many of these cases.

But what about afterwards? You move to a more performant language or just accept that you're now invested in JS?

Isn't that still less awful than having to administer other kind of drugs again and again for suffering and slowly dying patients that want to die? The situation is just bad regardless.
