As someone who has never used mailing lists before (for software development), how much harder/less advantageous it is to migrate to an issues or thread-based approach, like with Github? And why not?

Congratulations on your shaming ad-hominem language. Your lack of any genuine counterpoint reveals your men-hating nature by your remarks, which deserve no further response.

'Programming as theory-building' is an approach that has grown on me in the past few years. Your first draft may be qualitatively an MVP, but it's still just a theory of a final product you want, which requires a lot of itera

I mostly agree with you, but I have to point out something to the contrary of this part you said: "...The minute you have to discuss those things with someone else, your bandwidth decreases by orders of magnitude and now you have to

You're conflating several things. - Public figures are public by influence; public servants are employees and can/should have their information revealed when necessary. - Revelation of information of employees under public pay is

Sublime Text is _the_ Swiss knife of all text editors: - Loads up fast, supports tons of very useful packages (e.g. TextPastry, SQLTools), extremely customisable. - Multi-cursors, multi-panes (e.g. with Origami), spellcheckers, extremely fa

Do you even know how absolute numbers work vis-à-vis percentages?

While I agree with the sentiment, I have hesitation in letting people see what I read. In a way, you're letting people see the nature of things that you read - from which they might glean the nature of your thoughts, and privacy is

Answer to question: because public schooling is becoming a place of indoctrination/brainwashing (particularly of woke mentality), rather than a place of learning. This is very apparent in America, but even happens in outside places lik

I knew he was a world-class engineer the moment I saw that his site didn't bother with CSS stylesheets, ads, pictures, or anything beyond a rudimentary layout. The whole article page reads like a site from the '90s, written from s

Love it! I have my own minimal system for tracking my fitness, which I came to after that typical track of forgetting YAGNI implementing all sorts of features...that never got used, because of how complicated it got. Simple systems are the

Coordinate bilingualism seems like when you're learning languages separately and consciously, later in life. You can still acquire high fluency, but it doesn't seem as 'native' as it might be as if you acquired it durin

I love Linux, but I do like MacOS for one reason - the unified nature of the ecosystem where Apple devices can talk/switch between each other is quite unparalled. There's nothing quite like listening to music with Airpods on my iP

That doesn't seem like a very divisive statement.

The paper proposes that testosterone's evolved function is more closely related to courtship efforts, than sexual desire. It's easy to lust after a lady; not to court her. If so, the purported purpose of testosterone makes sense,

This is some great stuff! A beautiful deconstruction (literally) of Aztec symbolism of their pantheon.

Given how censored the 3.2 model was, is I'm looking forward to the abliterated 3.3 version to see if there's any significant improvements there that can replace it.

That's my Swiss knife. Super handy in a lot of scenarios, and I use it side-by-side with Jetbrains' DataGrip.

What does 'small' really mean? I would think of a language like Go as small (say, in comparison to Rust or Swift) - the language itself at least, if you discount the standard library. I find the use of the word 'small' q

I disagree. I find journaling a bit like physical exercise: It feels like _work_ in the moment, but you never regret writing it after. And you feel a lot better - there's a therapeutic effect to it. There's studies on this. And du

How is someone so young and general in skill (he doesn't seem to be a technical person or coder) have the ability to be "...advising OpenAI executives and the OpenAI board on AGI readiness"? And why the need for such a long b

It's not quite pointless. A prepared outline/mind-map gives you a roadmap for learning beforehand; it can function like a good index. It's better to memorize domain knowledge upon paths that are clearly understood (thus you

I don't care about fancy '<' syntaxes. I want to type 'cat'. The visual imagery of summoning a cute cat to do my POSIX sorcery trumps all else.

I wouldn't classify Hacker News as 'social media' per se. Hacker News does not have the feed-driven approach of other social media that is designed to generate addiction/engagement amongst users; we just like to talk abo

I tend to have newer machines as main machines, and which may not necessarily be gaming machines; subsidiary machines be dedicated to a TV, or to side-rooms. Not all gaming needs to be done on your newer machine.

Since Rustaceans are so neurotic about rewriting everything in Rust, I genuinely thought that an article about rewriting Rust (in Rust) had to be a meta-satirical joke.

With autocomplete (like with Jetbrain's Datagrip) I found that verbose table names aren't that much of a problem; they in fact really help readability.
