This is admittedly a few years ago, and the scene has evolved _a bit_ since then, but I remember seeing really simple JS games (think tetris, or a very simple sidescroller) being heartily applauded on sites like reddit and HN. We're un

I don't deny that it had lots of issues. In addition to what you mentioned, it was an accessibility nightmare, and had tons of security problems. All that said, it's difficult to argue with results.

What if OP is just a hobbyist who only knows Arduino and doesn't want to learn a whole new SDK just to toy around with microcontrollers in their spare time? I respect posts like this. They are fun and cool.

Flash is fantastic and I wish it got the respect it deserves from tech circles. It got an entire generation into animation and software engineering, and had really robust and approachable tooling which is yet to be replicated. I think back

Of course-- anyone with eyes can see that VC hustle culture is a grift.

I think it's fair play to call out the fact that "Mr. Work 20 Hour Days" has lots of rest and relaxation in his own life.

Someone seeing automation tools and saying “cool! This will centralize wealth even more, and that’s a good thing” is quite revealing

He said he deleted it because mentioning Marx “attracts angry fools”, so if you’re right, his attempt to save face is hilarious.

I think the more social/political/financial power possessed by the individual threatened by AI, the more resistance there will be to them being disrupted by it. Like look at tech's smug responses to truckers concerned about s

If we're going to devalue and degrade the labour of anybody who isn't "founder" because of its ability to be automated, then let's follow the thread to its logical conclusion and say that it's the only VCs who

I actually had a Lansky kit, but I found it really fiddly and awkward to use. I practiced for a while on a crappy old knife, but after getting the hang of it, I'm much happier using a proper whetstone.
