100% I found what Airtable is doing to be deeply attractive. But their costs and their lock in and their pricing model and it's just... UGH. Microsoft Access was a good idea with a terrible implementation. There HAS to be a unfilled ni

Why's this getting downvoted? Having multiple persona's as a way to hack around the typical omnibus recommendation of content is a pretty good solution. Obviously it would be better if social media sites gave us a little more cont

I like this post from aphextron: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13904319 I think this is just the price we are going to pay for "evergreen" operating systems. As a consumer, you now only buy Windows on

Exactly. This whole essay seems to provide no way to distinguish between moral fashion and actual morality. Is he trying to say that there's nothing moral under the sun? That there are no evil ideas? Do I even need to put forward examp

I guess just a life of listening to people, like economists, who were in more knowledgable positions than I, repeatedly saying it over and over again. I'm in no personal position to otherwise say boo.

And you know what? Just like with my hobbyist friend, I thought the spreadsheet they made were a valuable contribution! I thought it was BETTER than just guessing. Heck I know it was because so many mods in starsector bring in unintentional

I was just thinking. I remember being part of online community for a game (starsector, if you're interested) and a user had taken it upon themselves to create effectiveness measurements for the weapons in the vanilla game and in mods.

I have to agree that this timeline implies too much malice. The null timeline of new egg just shipping an RMA'ed broken mobo in the first place seems more plausible to me. The "This was customer damage" RMA rejection though I

I'm so glad to see others talking about this. A system of distributed trust like this is the makings of decentralized moderation. Decentralized curation. I've also had this idea on my mind for a while: https://news.ycom

God. Even more than this. "Why should people, who's profession is driving around transporting goods intercity and internationally, be required to get vaccinated?" I wonder I wonder what the reason could be. Wow what a pickle.

I honestly love cities skylines for how car centric it is. It is the premier logistical challenge in that game, and it is a genuinely hard challenge. There's plenty of games about building cities, but I've never played a game that

I'm not saying "You just need more humans to review and kick cheaters". I'm saying that players often have the barest bones of ways, if they have anything at all, to say who they would and who they would not like to play

I would submit that this is more an issue of trust than it is an issue of forcing client machines into compliance. Because of the industries persistent belief that anti-cheat is somehow an effective strategy, let alone a morally acceptable

I'm not sure Cicero had to deal with the pedant making their tedious rebuttal directly under where he placed his message, undermining the credibility of said message. Wait am I the pedant in this situation? Ah well.

You don't get to propose a suite of projects to negate their costs. Because we're not some hive mind working with singular purpose. So: Last time I checked cattle used more water and more land than alternative sources of calories.

Most password manager ecosystems consider this vector. They're either zero knowledge (bitwarden, lastpass ...), local(keypass, pass, buttercup ...), or are vulnerable in the way you describe and suck. Hashing is sure an interesting way

To verify, you're using a password manager? Because it's hard to imagine someone getting upset over having to just update an entry, and obviously the bank can't tell you not to use a password to unlock your own vault. And I c

The thing that really is baffling about this article is that whenever I see saccharine, unspecific, obtuse, corporate language like this, I at least understand why the language is the way it is. Usually it's some company is in hot wate
