This is fine, basically geocities. But you may have a hard time introducing the term "agentic" at a time when AI "agents" are on the rise.

Honestly, there's nothing better than the Cracking the Cryptic app for sudoku, called "Sven's Sudoku Pad." People who love sudoku have congregated around that channel. It's updated regularly and there are a lot of p

Chat is not asynchronous communication. It's not the best synchronous communication, sure, but it's certainly not asynchronous. Dropping typing indicators isn't necessarily going to make everything more asynchronous. There ar

Driving to work is not a choice for a lot of people particularly lower class. Our cities our built around cars. As people move out of the city to save money, that makes driving even more necessary and makes public transit less of a viable o

You're making some assumptions. Why can't programmers be workers in the coop and be part of the equation? Why can't forms of capital available to other startups be available to coops?

I can't believe these questionnaires have become so pervasive that it's spawning an industry. I hate these things. They are such a burden on the small, niche software vendor.

> Economic growth matters because most people want their lives to improve every year. Improve how? Should I need economic growth to get better health care? This whole techno-utopian argument seems to hinge on extractive growth because it

I'm very skeptical of this. It doesn't seem like something that could scale. By accessing database files through PHP, you are begging for race conditions while serving multiple requests simultaneously. At best, you will hit write-

I went into this article with so much skepticism, but yeah, the author addresses all of my concerns. This is a cool project and now I get why you'd do it this way.

Is the GPL not just as teenager-like with its radical openness? Wanting to maintain your values through a software license feels passive and sneaky and awkward, but that's how we do it. And if you value your labor and the labor of othe

In most co-ops, the term "owner" has explicit meaning that is usually very clearly laid out in the bylaws of the organization. The Three Rivers Co-op (a consumer co-op) publishes their bylaws and explains how it works. Worker co-o

This is not a good idea. 1. Components are sort of antithetical to the Tailwind CSS ethos of atomic styling. Of course, examples of markup and class arrangements are certainly helpful, but at the end of the day you are still always going to

And then it all falls apart when Plaid gets hacked and millions of people's _actual bank account usernames and password_ get stolen. That is not a safe premise to start a business (or to acquire one).

There are more reasons to control speed than safety. As the article mentions, Nixon lowered speeds to reduce fuel consumption in the US. Considering the climate crisis, I think that's a motivating reason to have lower speed limits. But

How is there no mention of the strength of organized labor during that period in the article or any of these comments? That was a big part of what motivated Ford to appease the workers when rolling out his new flexible production system. It

Who does it hurt? Everyone. I think it hurts everyone when we allow bigger companies (or a powerful few) to steer the education system. That should be left up to a democratic process. Why should Facebook, Google, etc. be the ones to decide

The only bubble I see are of programmers who work at Google and Facebook thinking most programmers have lives like theirs and make as much as they do. Most surveys of programmer salaries do not conclude that they routinely make $300k-$400k.

I think calling something "css-only" and having it break because you didn't add a radio input element in the markup is a little misleading. The dynamic functionality hinges on the behavior of these html elements. And if havin
