I'm not as hopeful as you. That Parallella chip went nowhere and had a ton of issues.

Another reason why is the Google founders have sailed into the sunset. The founder ethos is gone when they founders are no longer there.

I remember reading the first paper and my impression is that a lot of the engineering limitations back then no longer apply in 2020+.

I would disagree with this. Most Python developers I know can do Java. Not a big deal.

This is my thought as well. How do you then design for small communities for the web is the hard part.

The store of value argument is such baloney. Value is derived from supply and demand. Demand can always go to zero.

+1 for Kerry. It feels extremely smooth and it's probably the best mechanical pencil I've used.

It's really hard to get people to use something other than Google. If you were to launch such a product, it would have to be so much better that people recommend it organically to other people.

I agree with this approach. You can't crawl everything from the getgo - focus on a very specific domain catered to a specific set of users.

I wonder if they could've designed better circuit breakers for situations like this. They're very common in electrical engineering, but I don't think they're as common in software design. Something we should try to desig

I switched monitors to LG and they have reader mode. I turned that on and it took care of 90% of my eye strain attacks. Another things mentioned here that help: use reduced lenses corrected for work, work next to a window and take a look at

I think open source will be tough because you're going to need a lot of saints to work on a search engine of Google's caliber. Maybe an alternative revenue model instead of ads.

The problem with Vim only development we don't have the OS support to use only the keyboard. Soon or later you have to reach for the mouse to scroll through the browser, or change/rearrange windows, even with all the fancy Vim plu

Everyone runs in the other direction anytime a search engine is mentioned. The thought of competing with Google turns people off. Even in 2021, despite how bad it's become, it's still miles ahead of other competitors.

Chrome rolled out that update on mobile but for whatever reason they rolled it back. It's a much better design choice imo when you get used to it.

Exactly. It's not how fast someone churns out code but how well thought out/elegance in approach that delivers this 10x value. Instead of writing entire systems from scratch, maybe you have enough experience or familiarity with we

I think it's also because we have a lot of ego. Let's admit it. There are some people who have a rare insight or mobilize people and code in a way that provides 10x value to the company and people. Think about all the kickass Pyth

Yes - overengineering is a disease. As it is discussed extensively on here, most companies are not Google or Netflix. Engineers usually opt for the most complex option, when there are multiple factors to consider - reliability, development

Affordances are one of those core UI concepts that everyone should know and implement to guide the user smoothly all the way through. Design of Everyday Things, and one HCI course pays off so much in the long run.

During my senior year, my government teacher called people out for saying like every 5 words. For the entire year. He used to be a former lawyer. This has got me into the habit of always listening as I speak and it has been extremely worthw
