Maybe like a super versatile trackball? Just guessing here.

But it’s fairly trivial to run the same logic on two routes (on the app and on the web) Especially simple stuff like bookings and so on. It all goes into the same data storage.

It’s sad and worrying. An app is nothing but a glorified webpage in most cases anyway, or at least it should be.

The guy who made Virtualdub (virtualdub.org) has a blog who said essentially that. His video program is supersmall because it doesn’t use 4 packaged libraries; he programmed everything to hardware / OS interfaces directly.

Also people cannot judge great art or imagery. Unless you have had the training. But the average person? Nope. You can tell what you LIKE but that’s not the same.

Ah I see, so titles and functions probably changed by then. Gonna have to wait for that blogpost!

Exposing yourself to fear doesn’t work for everyone (though good to hear it worked for you!) For some it activates the parasympathetic nervous system too much and you won’t have much luck easing the anxiety. Other means are available, often

Interesting. In popular search results you always read Pontius Pilate as a “governor” but in fact he was a Praetor? At least that makes way more sense if you read this blog and what his duties were. > Note that the praetor in his provinc

That’s hilarious, so Google interpreted it as a high traffic area?

Yeah! I guess the thing is that the push is on for ever higher extraction and yields for managers/stakeholders/CEOs and to show it to shareholders and investors and the like. And with higher interest rates where money costs its on

I feel this is a why-not-both thing. We should fix our house and explore. We have enough people and capability to do both if we are politically and mentally willing.

All is part of the capitalization of the internet. People seek to make money and how they do it is not always morally or ethically sound. The view of “the global village” with betterment for human society has become another rent seeker “get

I don’t know if this is tangentially related, but don’t we encode text in our neurons in a way a human can’t understand either? Is the storage relevant here?

I am wondering now if true communism has ever been tried. I am thinking of the top of my head it might be a Kibbutz you find in Israel?

Thanks for your detailed response and to read your perspective. I can see why you would go for this and experience it, especially if you practiced for 20 years. It seems you thought about it well. On b) I would entertain the idea that the m

I always wondered why people “race” (for the lack of a better word) to awaken kundalini. May I ask why you want to move to it quicker? As I was taught it’s like the opening of a flower; in due time it will blossom.

A few options for those looking: Bandcamp, Patreon, Twitch, Ko-Fi, CDbaby, and probably a host of others.

That is still a presupposition you are taking, you are making a statement “that thinking is the first principle that comes from nothing.” There are host of ways to debate that philosophically.

I notice in these comments it’s really hard to drive home User Experience and friction (sometimes!) and what seems easy to you (just an IP address!) is really like talking magic to your average user.

Your comment reminded of something I was taught by my economics professor, he told us about small things can add up and gave the example of giving to charities. So when I started working I started giving like a couple percent of my income t

Why does economic growth need to be incompatible with going green? I don’t think they are natural opposites, mostly habitual, and habits and outlooks can change if people really want. Now it’s the “really want” that’s at issue here. Maybe t

It’s the same with comments really. Only a small percentage actually comments, most people are natural lurkers. Don’t know why people are very passive when it comes it.
