Oof these comments. Let's take the "woke" part of this whole argument out, and apply this to technical bikeshed debates over inconsequential minutia that go on for days, that you're probably very familiar with as a tech

"Smart" hardware requiring an app to do simple things. The whole space produces tings that are so convoluted to set up, prone to constant failures when wifi goes down, suffer from security issues, ergonomics, and probably steal lo

I'd wager only 5-10% of all money is actually used in an exchange for real value. Everything else is just rotating through the bureaucrats.

Is there a "recommended" feed of peertube videos where I can discover content? Or a upvote-like system? Or something curated? Where do I find trending and interesting content on the ecosystem?

I always prefer the FFT/waterfall visualizations instead of amplitude/time scope graphs when talking about mixing and modulation. Makes it way simpler to reason about I think.

This trend is the worst thing in apps. Stop it. Just show me what you offer and how much it is. Your users are smart and they want a solution to a problem. Don’t treat them like they are stupid.

I stopped a few pages into the survey. What is up with this ridiculous trend? I automatically hate any app that does this. Stop treating your users like idiots.

Love these. I keep talking to them for days. Really pissed a few of them off.

Here's a trick: always approve the code review, unless it's an actual bug, a security risk, or obvious quality issue. Then you can use whatever tone you want without much damage. "approved, but I think this should be in a sep

It's the lack of good first-class observability and good administration tooling into what's going on. There's a bunch of third party tools, and those seem to be lacking. The cli is abysmal tbh. Good luck figuring out why your

I can't believe how long this battle has been going on. It's been decades since the whole music industry reshuffle, and both artists and consumers continue to get shafted.

Start calling bad abstraction "indirection". If I'm debugging something, I don't want to be chasing a rabbit through figuring out what calls what, and what constant is stored where, what pattern created what instance, e

Why in the world is this API so complex? Devs will continue to implement password authentication even when there's general browser support until either there's a simpler way to register and sign in users.

The business end here is Deno Deploy - a heroku-like. That's what the "startup" behind the funding is. The tech is in service of that.

I like to bring up the Newton/Palm/iPhone example when we talk about emergent tech. If you grew up in the 90s, you probably remember hand held PCs, and Apple Newton. Those were pretty cool. I wouldn't really HAVE to have one,

I have the Lumina! I think the hardware has been pretty good from the very start when I got it about a year ago. The software originally was... not very good, but you guys have improved it by leaps and bounds over time. I still have to manu

Oh here we go again. Waiting for all the "this is a wrong way to draw" critiques. Keep in mind that this is a children's book about drawing animals using lines, not an anatomical study for an academic artist.

Hey I also wrote a neural net that generates perfect images. Here's a static site about it. With images it definitely generated! Can you use it? Is there a source? Hah, of course not, because ethics!
