Your post reminded me of my recent encounter with the phrase "damning with faint praise". It is interesting how applicable it is in authoritarian governments; you can't simply praise, you must give enthusiastic encomiums. Tha

For some people, that _is_ their way of working, and it works very well for them. I think it is mainly the quick access with a regular, predictable arrangement completely driven by the keyboard. Low resource usage is a bonus. It is like hav

I've been doing a similar thing where I build lots of different SAAS type projects, lots of them will go nowhere, but what I have learned about design, abstraction, and trade-offs is enormous. Definitely worth the time to do something

I really like that quote "... live simply and do serious things.", what's the source on that? Thanks!

I really like this point. What really matters is your experience, your connections, and your contributions. What everyone else has done has usually been a herd mentality, now is no different, but being able to carve out a little space of yo

I took logic courses from a professor who happened to be an expert on history and philosophy of medicine. He had the interesting tidbit that nearly every culture has had bloodletting in medicinal usage, even though it doesn't help heal

True, and companies spend a massive amount of their revenue in operations, whereas I would assume governments have much more disposable income for activities other than putting capital into daily production.

I was curious about government vs corporation revenues, which are imperfect measures, but an interesting comparison and quickly found this: https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2016/10/corporations-not-coun... The

Very good point. A lot of the bad code I have seen doesn't ship _because_ it is bad. It can't even get through the testing phase because it is full of crashes type thing. Whereas good code usually has a good design that results in

Not sure if this counts, but I use it in production in yakdocs.com and yak-mu.com. I love how easy it is to maintain and I love the pf firewall. Hetzner has images for OpenBSD on their cloud service and you can use a custom image on the ded

You might like Lewis Carrol's "Feeding the Mind", it takes that metaphor and applies it to a method of how to read books. On Gutenberg.org too: https://www.gutenberg.org/files/35535/35535-h/3553

Another shameless plug, if you are just using it for finding out where visitors are coming from and page hits, I wrote https://geo-yak.com for that. Doubles as an ip geolocation API. I'm putting the finishing touches on a `

I use it every day and love it. Probably the biggest thing is getting the keyboard shortcuts setup how you like and knowing them. - "Search Everywhere" with double tapping shift (at least on mine) is really nice. And the fuzzy fil

UE4 Blueprints are visual programming, and are done very well. For a lot of things they work are excellent. Everything has a very fine structure to it, you can drag off pins and get context aware options, etc. You can also have sub-function

I've been trying to learn LFE (Lisp Flavored Erlang) and write a widget framework in it. I've never really dabbled in Lisp, but I'm also reading On Lisp, and it is fun to just stretch the mind a bit and wrap my head around FP
