I'm honestly surprised it took them so long to reach this conclusion. > That idea quickly loses its appeal, though, when one considers trying to create and maintain a 2,000-member structure, so the project is unlikely to go this way

Every single time I see one of these attempts at simplifying Git, I'm reminded of how bad source control is when forced to use in a terminal. Entering commands in a terminal means you always have have a mental view of the state you&#

After decades of corporate propaganda, the mainstream view is that "goverment can't do anything". This has led to people expecting the rich to donate for this sort of outcome, instead of demanding better organization from the

What's the reason for such high praise for Notion? Asking honestly as I have used it and genuinely don't get the admiration.

I agree on having the luxury of budget being a thing, since only large companies have that. I think though you're lumping together both the inexperienced and the stubornly dumb, and by that I mean those that aren't humble/fle

My worry for instance is that what he's doing in not scalable on the level of a society, yet it's polluting our public thoughts so much that better solutions are stifled.

Just because something is widespread doesn't mean it's not shady.

I find MrBeast hollow and I doubt he can understand what creeps many of us out about his videos. It's very hard for me to put it into words as well. His videos seem to reflect a generation that has lost hope and dignity. None of his su

The one thing I still wonder about Ted is actually how many more actually good and thought provoking "manifestos" like his are out there, only for nobody to push them to in the public's eye. After all, almost all smart people

You're right that the UI is crap, but there's also another dynamic when you work in a team: some people may not be aware of complexity, and can create overengineered monsters just because they want to try the fancy stuff. That mig

Besides the reasons people have already stated on why recent start-ups failed, it seems to me that the world recently has at the same time become more complex AND also simpler: the complexity that each individual company/employee need

Very strange to see US-style political discourse applied to the ancients. It really is true that as we do one thing we do all things.

That was my understanding as well, thanks. You'd pretty much have to make sure that no two nodes from the same bucket can improve on one another, and I can't really understand how you'd pick the bucketing so you don't ne

Hmm, sounds like we need a grand upheaval in the global economic system in that case.

Quite unexpected. Does anyone have a summary somewhere? I don't fully understand the bucketing approach and my 2023 attention span can't handle reading the whole paper.

Trying not to be negative with any cool project, this feels like the wrong layer in which to build SVG functionality. I mean, if the path can already be generated, an intermediary executable can easily pipe that in and turn into an SVG file

After reading this list of basic yet primary principles on how to police, my first though is what changes would make sense in the age of technology -- almost none IMO. Yet after that I'm thinking of how many layers of second or third o

Personally, I have the exact opposite thoughs on sigils: they break my fluency in reading code. Not all sigils are as bad, but to me it's as if there's a word from a foreign language italicized in an english sentance -- that means

I missed it as well. It's a bit confusing how the Github interface doesn't show the extension easily when the file name is too long.

That is insane, congrats. I would have wished some explanation on where the function calls like vga_init and vga_set_pixel come from, I'm not a graybeard yet.

One thing I've notices over the decades of improving as a software engineer that that the deeper I could understand things, the better abstractions I could produce where I didn't need to understand things -- which actually was the

Corruption is a pretty fuzzy concept, and most people aren't very good to handle gray areas. I think it's an issue of there not being incentives for any successful group to keep corruption as primary topic in the Overton window, s

Even in democratic countries you have a milder version of this: the most successful politicians are usually those that can get the backing of the political class. Acting against the interests of the political class means you're without

It's not a perfect correlation, but I'd find it hard to believe that children don't share on average more of their outlook on life with their parents than with a random member of society.

by mihaic 3y ago
That feels actually anti-rational, since if the people that care about the environment stop having children that means the people that are passing on their life outlook are mostly ignorant of the environment. It must be a US thing more thou

It seems that optimal calorie output from all our available land involves some intermediary animals that eat whatever humans can't eat. I agree we're raising far too many cattle, but just wanted to point out it's not very sim

It was all dumb pedantry until the point where the editor talked about removing instances of "comprised of" inside quotes. Sure, you can add an elipsis if you want trim a quote, but altering words in a quote is equivalent to lying
