Some aspect of philosophy considers what place and impact we, humans, have in the world. In that regard, from the second half of the century onwards (earlier as well, but less specifically), there's been a resurgence of these questions

I assume "naive" means "simple, basic" here. As in "index this column. Period".

I want to think this comment was meant as a praise to the drink, but it sincerely rang as a selfish rant about how unhappy you are because your favorite cocktails will be harder to find.

Everything old is new again. I have had a non-trivial experience with CoffeeScript. Maybe one can find the syntax easier on the eye, but it is always at the cost of added ambiguity, both for the parser and the reader. After one too many par

What are your thoughts on some of the trends/buzzwords I find among Architects' communities these days, like "Evolutionary Architecture" or "Just Enough Architecture"? Note: I don't mean to lower their val

I've worked with people saying that, and others really wanting to influence upwards and for which defining their own objectives was primordial. To each their own.

It's +600€. I'd rather buy 4 of the Nokia and live with the unwanted big screen rather than having the "right" form factor for 4x the price. That's not even a compromise here.

Interesting concept. I particularly appreciate how much it allows to untangle in the trio artist <-> art piece <-> viewer. It has to be noted though that it is very difficult to "just like" a piece of art for good reas

About the "low hanging fruits". I don't really agree they were such a thing. It's just retrospectively that we name them as such. Or you have a specific example in mind that I could use?

Overall, I'm impressed. Very much. Now, I'd love to see a picture of how a hand is supposed to sit above or around this trackball because I can't picture how fingers can comfortably reach the 4 buttons just by looking at the

Aligning reading order with flow of actions is so important! That's why I use and msybe tend to abuse the `->` and `->>` macros in Clojure and the pipe operator `|>` in Elixir. Hopefully soon in JS as well, if I've rea

You're dodging. The discussion and your point was about presumption of lawfulness and I made an analogy about presumption of safety.

Skimming through the article, I don't get the value proposition. Is there a way to summarize it, please? Edit: importmaps is also in this entry, I found it straighter to the point: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3

If syntactic sugar was really just sugar, JS would have sticked to callback functions, and we’d still be inventing abstractions to make our lives easier. Syntactic sugar, sometimes, is the promise of sunnier mornings and that matters.

Say you buy a bicycle helmet for your kid. 2 are available. Helmet A mentions its certifications. Helmet B doesn't, but claims to be as safe. Would you consider helmet B?

Thanks for sharing. I wrongly assumed that it could not come isolated. The specificity makes even more interesting. If you have resources to share beyond your own experience, they'd be welcome.

Deaf people can feel the music at various degrees. Some deaf people even quite famously were composers themselves. Also, not liking music doesn't mean you don't feel anything. And lastly, some people indeed have an inability o

That's not the first time Stripe is pointed fingers at, and most probably rightly so, but, for someone like me, totally unaware of what Flurly is, damn their service description seems shady, at best.

As much as I appreciate the efforts, considering how central GnuPG is nowadays, an alternative has a long way to go before it reaches consensus in the industry. I would expect a frontend to GnuPG to have a much easier adoption, since the ba

Scale, for the most part. Adding yet another zero to your user headcount is costly and a true engineering challenge. Also, organizational inefficiencies are very costly and require more and more people to fill more and more layers of cintri
