Bandwidth is getting better more quickly than latency is. TCP slow start requires a round trip to speed up, and if you want that to improve, you need to reduce latency. Increasing bandwidth won’t help.

Dedicated, single-purpose buttons that work all the time are clearly superior to touch screens. That's why even smartphones have them. Context-sensitive buttons are less awesome. They might be superior, if you memorize the combinatio

Unfortunately, it’s easy to bury your feelings and convince yourself that you’re looking at things impartially, even when you’re actually not.

I like actually thinking about things, but does that address the problem where you’re more likely to see people who disagree with your (well-reasoned) opinion as violent?

This isn't just partisan "sides." It's also sides of specific legal questions. I don't think "just stop picking a side regarding abortion, gun ownership, or gay marriage" is a reasonable solution. These ar

You're thinking about companies as monoliths. They are groups of people. The managers who want remote attestation aren't the people implementing it. They either pay someone else to do it, or they pay someone else to do it. The dif

I know it's a cliché to blame all the world's problems on wealth inequality, and that a lot of accusations of wealth-inequality-problems can be reasonably blamed on other things... But this one is definitely wealth inequality. The

It's not just Rust syntax. `name: Type` is the syntax used in TypeScript and Python type annotations (also Ocaml, which is probably where Rust got it from). Golang drops the colon, but still keeps the name first. As for what's wro

There are sensible game-theoretical reasons for behaving that way. Individually choosing to forgo tracking hurts your competitive edge. Advocating for ad blocking, environmental regulations, or other industry-wide taxes will not, because e

Also, the bottleneck that limits pocket computing is mostly HCI. It's really hard to design a good user interface for tiny screens and clumsy input devices. Lisp ain't gonna help with any of that.
