If _toxic_ technology and products don’t have a chance for optimism on HN, where do they? Fixed that for you. Also, is this really “technology” through and through? I mean, surely there’s scientific knowledge behind it, but is the materiali

Yes. I came here to comment that the author forgot the most important topic: legibility. I read exclusively on mobile and my days are filled with frustration. To save time and make my reading sessions more productive I had to self-impose a

I think the concept of a file as a bag of bytes is a leaky abstraction. That model is fit within the context of file system implementations, which are concerned with allocation, but unfit for high level file usage, which is concerned with i

I miss Laravel too. It was the first framework I worked professionally. I feel I was much more productive in PHP compared to TS/Node, and also feel I was more confident in doing complex projects even though I had less experience. It’s

Really curious to get more info on that file format. Seems like it’s structured as a database and has internal addressing schemes and embedded caching structures to allow for partial IO. The idea of persistent history implies that it record

The Peano arithmetic hints at the proposition that numbers are gradations within a unified principle, in this case the principle of “succession”. If you start with nothing (zero) and recursively apply the same quality (succession) you get a

> mustn't this in turn depend on some pre-existing regularity (i.e. order) in the universe? Yes. And such order exists within the observer, the mediators. We are measuring instruments. Scales are bound to the ruler and not to what’s

I feel the same every time someone starts using terms without defining them. For an analogy, it’s like a page o’ code minus its dependencies. One should define the dependent terms if didactics is a concern, which in my opinion should always

Really sad news. I use XD since it was released, it is not perfect but it is robust and has a decent feature coverage. I tried Figma and the first day was a disaster. The UI is cluttered, the ontology is overly complicated and the worst: th

Ah, I love when someone gets it! What design has come to is beyond sad, it’s revolting.

The author seem to infer whatever he needs to affirm his opinions, examples are poor and the whole thing is just a rant disguised as reasoning.

I’m stupid too. It’s hard to make sense of complexity when it’s senseless and doesn’t directly address a problem, instead being an inner abstraction. Every day there’s more things to learn in web development, and the scope of most engineeri
