> If we had a dozen different languages tailored to different aspects of an application, we could write a lot less code. I think this has potential. As we all known, natural language is a weak tool to express logic. On the other hand, pr

Font size for text and titles are ok, but links are too small, I developed tap anxiety as I frequently miss click things. But that’s not the worst part, navigating through huge threads of comments is. I would like to see all root comments f

Obsidian is nice, I use it to write articles. But I don’t like to take notes in it. IME notes are something transient, so recording them as files generates too much pollution/trash. Having paper notebooks around is much more fun, gets

I assure you you’ll be more productive. I did something similar a couple months back. I have a long running project which is very complex, and I would repeatedly catch myself wasting time on irrelevant design decisions whenever I was introd

I pretty much share the same capacities which you’ve described. Regarding the last part, about the inner voice not defaulting to verbal projections, when I reflect about what form such pattern takes, I can only interpret it as sort of “sema

I agree. I haven’t yet interviewed a user that views realtime collaboration as something desirable in itself. In my research, user mostly are forced to do this kind of collab because it’s still better than coordinating via side channels suc

To make mobile computing really ergonomic the better direction is getting rid of the screen altogether, replacing it with AR goggles. Then whatever physical device remains as a companion can be fully dedicated to input. This is a future I’d

Then there’s, of course, the issue that the whole of current customers feedbacks might be blinding you from what the product really needs to grow beyond that base, since a startup’s ultimate goal is growth, and fulfilling the current custom

Absolutely. In this case this means your pre-process will be less deterministic, hence your success ratio will be lower (maybe a lot lower). Perhaps improving your communication and data analysis skills would do good, as this sort of contex

As someone who’s on research, I do hundreds of prototypes each year. My time optimizations include having a backing hypothesis for each prototype, and prototyping one hypothesis at a time, even if two hypothesis touch on the same domain pro

I believe long sentences become progressively more difficult to comprehend due to the general limits of short term memory, the so called “chunks”, they’re more or less even among the population, not showing much variance. Cognitive deficits

People suffer from “perfectionism” as much as everyone else suffer from reductionism.

I don’t fully understand the nature/impact of the change but this conflict seems so minor to me. Like, people on both sides display the same level of entitlement but for different reasons, and they all think they have their are “right”

I went through a similar path! Concatenative appeared to me like the most economic paradigm one can possible come up with, a ultimate reduction, for which there’s practically no path to further downward abstraction. It feels more like a pri

I’m in favor. More legible, easier and cheaper to reproduce, good rendering in small sizes. Brands need more differentiation when they’re new. Once they’re established, the name and the product stands for itself. I don’t get why people care

That’s a great advice. I happened to learn that naturally and I’m thankful I did. Proclaiming things also creates expectations from others and people generally tend to be prone to fulfill those outside expectations. This effect seems to be

I’ve been studying this for my research. The current conclusion so far, related to perception of flow, is that with keyboard interactions, you’re consistently and progressively closer to your goal. As for the mouse, regardless of timing to

I do not disagree with anything you said. Only that’s a different subject from the event being reported. If we were to talk about content moderation, then the first thing I would address is that the CEO appears to be an absolutist in regard

It’s not about that it happened, it’s about how MM intentionally misrepresented the facts to hurt the image of the company. It has nothing to do with Musk, or whether one likes or dislikes him. I despise him, for that matter. But this is si

“Icarus ignored Daedalus’s instructions not to fly too close to the sun, causing the beeswax in his wings to melt. Icarus fell from the sky, plunged into the sea, and drowned.” Strikingly fit metaphor for Altman.

I think posting is, in general, an extension of dialogues, i.e conversation. Writing involves dialogues, of course, but encompasses a much wider field of styles. Ephemerality of the text does not automatically implies reduced value. You’ll

I came to this exact realization yesterday, as I was making a portfolio site to a friend. I obviously decided to make as simple as possible: MPA, no JS, content written directly in HTML, it would be done in a day or two. Ok, but as I’m 50%

Correct me if I’m hallucinating, anybody. Doesn’t a foundation have to change and adapt in relation to what is grounded in it? If the foundation is to be all encompassing, to abstract enough to allow and absolutely account for every possibl

The way you put it, I find it pretty fucking interesting. Thanks for the comment.
