The article has a much clearer explanation of the ideas than the book itself. It was too hard to finish reading. What stood out even more than the ideas, were the method of thinking and the writing style. Diving into the original text even

Stanislaw Lem is a brilliant writer. It is unfortunate that the article tells about him through the lens of the Golden Age and modern progressive views, which hardly relate to him. As many other authors behind the Iron Curtain, he was large

This reminds me of Cryptol https://cryptol.net which can be compiled into VHDL. It is a more general language than its description as cryptographic DSL suggests.

Promoting an independent browser today is hard. They may've fared better with a more modest offering of an extension. I hope that Ghostery, acquired, survives.

How different is it from Dat or Solid? They promise decentralized environment and control over data too and are less obscure.

That's a good post. The sticky elements is one of the most annoying things on the web. So after getting annoyed enough I made a simple extension that hides them. It automatically hides the sticky elements on nearly all websites, has a

I did quite a lot of hacking around the text selection when extending CKEditor for XML editing. In my opinion there are several reasons why text input and selection are so difficult: 1. The behavior is complex. 2. The behavior resists being

What about using a car without a phone? Is it such poor experience that a phone with crappy pairing software is better than that?

Recently I did some research to choose a new TV. I plan to use it as a regular one, with HDMI input and don't need any smart stuff. Unfortunately, most models are smart and there is no information about their behavior when disconnected

The suburbs have less air and noise pollution, which is good for the children but overall it's a dull and isolated environment. Playing alone in the backyard just because that is the only place where a child can go out of the house is

I'm not going to buy Sonos, Amazon Echo, smart TV or any other "smart" device. They all have some things in common: vendor lock-in, manufacturer having more control over the device than the owner does, and little control over

The article title is a bit misleading - it refers to one particularly bad loan. Below she disclosed that her total student debt is $95k. This makes the ratio of debt to projected income quite poor. Also unlike the high earners she'll h

Does the average career of a graduate with comparative literature degree provide enough income to pay off a debt of this scale? If this were a medical or law degree, the decision to take the loan would be more justified. I wish the high sch

I agree with the authors argument. The physical buttons is why I still haven't upgraded my Kindle 4. But one interface is unlikely to be the best fit for everybody. Older gadgets and programs exposed more settings - either through UI a

The examples in the articles used the economic ideas only as a building block, not as the primary motivation for writing the novels. I don't believe that Blade Runner is about recession more than the AI and humanity. Where good fiction

Rejecting your roots creates a void that must be filled with other ideas or addictions. Alas, in the US there are many Jews who believe in socialism. Hostility to what was rejected is natural, so it's not surprising that you hate Israe

I suggested making new build system that has the power of Make or Shake and is still oriented toward frontend development. You are right that Shake and most general purpose build tools are out-of-touch with frontend. Even for people who are

Make has dated syntax and conventions. When developers use emojis in command line, support for the spaces and other quirks look worse than a decade ago. Despite all of its expressive power and speed, Make is not going to attract many fronte

With the increasing use of AI in law, there will be an incentive to make the texts more tractable for AI. Perhaps this may lead to the changes in the law language, eliminating the remaining ambiguities.
