The corporate bullies have been trotting out this argument forever to keep the status quo. But it is not as if it is impossible to craft a law that carves out protections for this exact harm, like fee shifting provisions or a cheaper admin

Thanks! Hard to read much into that call other than Microsoft folks 1) Read Hacker News and 2) Are targeting it as an audience for which they would like to be more popular in. You had made it sound like some sort of coordinated astroturfing

This is one of my favorite pieces of free software I've ever used. Amazingly powerful and it's cross platform! I use it to record all sorts of videos, and only very occasionally stream. Congrats to their team + contributors, and

Code like this is like (not) caring about memory leaks in a Missile Control module where the explosive is the garbage collector: When code is one shot, accomplishes its goal, and does not need to be extended or relied upon in the future, wh

Would love to understand the value prop of this over, say, rescript, but it's not clear from the linked site.

Is there any good writing on overuse of tuples? Up until this thread, I just always thought that was a pet peeve of mine. Internally I've tried to make the case that nobody understands the reason a tuple exists except the person who wr

Is there a good reason for a multiplexer to be a separate tool from a terminal? Or a window manager? Or is this just GNU/Unix philosophy (do one thing well and compose). The reason I ask is that while I never used a multiplexer like tm

File access on preview7 was atrocious. It would take a seeded postgres-debian container 3 minutes to start (maybe 64 megs of data inside) if you kept the postgres volume on the local disk inside the container! Intel -- instant. Hope they

git init && git commit --allow-empty -m "Hello World" && git log --pretty=format:%s -n 1 I need more interesting hobbies (than doing a lot of random git man page reading for various reasons).

Weird. I am red-green color blind, and I can't even tell the difference between the red and green diff for dark mode.

Interestingly, property is the slowest and old-schoolest of all the branches of law. Some systems of deeds and recorders have existed for hundreds of years. As an attorney I used to look at a lot of boilerplate skeptically but is a RE attor

In a computer simulation or with a bad DM, you can get away with CHA=1 / INT=1 / CON=1 etc due to the limits of the simulation, but life tends to have rather harsh consequences for the MIN aspect of MIN/MAX.

Have you ever contacted an elected representative with your concerns that Google is a monopoly and that laws should be either enforced against them or re-written to abate that, in addition to changing your own behavior? If not, why? What wo
