I wish people would stop writing like we can’t hold to competing ideas in our minds at once. Being concerned about thing A doesn’t mean you’re against all instances of thing A or all people who do thing A

This was an element I was curious about and didn’t get, I assumed most fantasy football groups had a draft and a player couldn’t be in one team. TIL I guess.

This reminds me of multiplayer video games and to a lesser extent board games. What I really enjoy doing is exploring different elements of the game, map, characters, mechanics. But lots of games have been “solved” and playing with certai

Totally agreed, really the goal of any programming whatever is to determine how easy is it to model the related logic. Low-code/No-code is not some magic bullet, it's just another way of doing it. The question has always been ho

I think a lot of people find Merino wool not to have the same itchy discomfort of traditional wool, I am sadly not one of those people.

People seem to conflate "intelligence" and like "all good qualities/effective goodness". I suspect that that's partially because that was a goal of a search for general intelligence, and partially because inte

Slack would be interesting. I have two displays now, one for work, one for monitoring/slack/logs etc. Though I often use the second display for a web browser to read one thing while working on another. The second monitor always

If you’re not a globalist then wouldn’t you agree that Nebraska shouldn’t have jurisdiction to subpoena companies that aren’t incorporated in Nebraska? Your argument seems pro globalism

I like your take on it and I'd add it's like his core motto is don't let facts get in the way of a good story. I think he's probably one of the world's best storytellers and I love his passion and how into his work

Except Mitchell explicitly called the author out in his satire and the author was right that Mitchell thought in retrospect it was a mistake to do so. Why is it in poor character if he’s expressing a view Mitchell agrees with. Additionally

Yeah this makes sense, and the Microsoft video I linked to does seem to be solving the same kind of problem, the ability to access the data available to a computer in any context, on any surface.

I'm curious if and what the next big computer thing is. I think a lot of people saw the iPhone coming at least 10 years before it got here. I bought palm pilots realizing they weren't what I really wanted but the hope has been t

It's very rockstar live fast die young mentality. (at least half of it, the other half I agree with) Assuming they value art, I find in my own life that stability gives me more time to work on and finish art. Drinking less, exercisin

I chuckled at that, I assume that was intentional to prove a point but it shows a bias through the whole thing. Seems like a socialist advertisment. edit: Just because I like coffee doesn't mean I can't recognize a coffee adverti

I wonder if another element could be improvements in resolution and quality as well, both on displays and in our fabrics/materials. Simplicity/flat design looks clean in high res screens and materials. It looks boring in low res

I only think it's embarrassing to humans if you are particularly attached to human exceptionalism. It makes me think about how contextual information is. I think it's about who you are, who they are and how you relate. Plato an

How would you define the difference between shamelessness and owning it? I guess one could be seen as passive and one as active, but they seem like they're basically the same thing to me, or maybe two sides of the same coin. I guess

Deregulation is like flat power structures. Ultimately it just means that you don't know who the new regulators are. I can't help but wonder the difference between valuing the ideas of unfettered capitalism and the realities.

Why is this a big difference? I might argue that the idea that you need to intellectualize a strategy may be one of the points dismissed by the article.. What does 'knowingly' mean in your case. A lot of high-performance work i

Trump is interesting as an example of someone who is wiling to wield shamelessness in a way that others are not. He is much more shameless than almost anyone else in politics. But the thing is, it is high risk, and this is why others are u

Right but they’re implying that statistically, they don’t have a pile of said research on their desk that they’re pointing too.
