We never, ever, ever connect our TVs to the Internet. So uh...bye Netflix.

Thankful for the overall balance this site still manages to find between diversity of viewpoint and civility. It gets spicy sometimes, but I like it that way. Hope everyone's year finishes better than it started.

Feels like there's a contradiction in a piece that claims a fad is definitively over while simultaneously asserting the unknowability of our fragmented Internet culture. Everything's decentralized, but at the same time, I have my

Gemini still calls me "the architect" in half of the prompts. It's very cringe. Can't say I've ever seen this in my own chats. Maybe it's something about your writing style?

Great point. I guess one is just a better anti-privacy boogeyman.

They are not contradictory. Publicly labeling someone a troll is indisputably speech. You mistake the situation as someone denying you your rights, but really you are just failing to recognize the same rights for that person or group. The c

Yes, the ability to litigate is key. Only a few can afford it.

This is how laws are written. A court would determine whether the state is abusing or violating this public safety carve-out.

This piece is an organizational mess, and almost nonsensical in places. This strange discussion has only a few precedents; it leads, as so many discussions about AI do, toward speculation about hilarious absurdities. Sometimes, these

The ICC is not a beneficiary of the Constitution, nor is YouTube bound by the Constitution. I'm unhappy for the same reasons as you, but this isn't how 1A works.

Yep it's low friction, but is it easy to discover that I need to? I guess it's the "needing to know that I need to rerun" that I'm less enthused about.

I co-sign this as a similarly-credentialed person. I use windsurf at work and recently started enjoying Claude Code, but the UX of Windsurf is actually a legit value add. Codemaps especially - been using them for weeks and they're exce

Could be sarcasm, could be the product of a working manic episode. If it's a joke it's very dry. But ultimately the key data structure is trivial; it's a 2d vector(?) that splits the angle information into quotient and remain

I do like Rust quite a bit. I don't know Forth or Common Lisp as well, but I don't dislike them. I admit, I have learned very little about them from you so far. You strike me as someone who isn't really prepared to have an ac

Physical engineers might scoff good-naturedly at an attempt by project managers to refer to work scheduling as "logistics engineering". But they really shouldn't because obviously scheduling and logistics is difficult, involv

Forth and Common Lisp are demanding, but they demand different things of the novice programmer than Rust. The latter's baroque syntax is not provably good or necessary, but I'd call it the other end of a compromise for safety and

It really reads quite simply once you're familiar with the language. You only see chaos because there are none of the semantic hooks you'd get from experience

Result violates the single responsibility principle and tries to make what are distinct paths into a single thing. You're trying to equate code paths (outcome handling) with values (outcomes), and that seems a more unfortunat
