I like to write mini apps and browser extensions for myself, half because it's useful and quick, and half because it's just a darn pleasure to code in Elm so I take any excuse I can to do so. Here's one: - Battle Objectives (

I just don't get the appeal of blueberries. I have tried them several times and find them both lacking in flavor and mealy in texture. I don't think I've only tried bad ones-- when I do buy them they're from the same gro

People like James Randi would have claimed they lived in the mad times. I think it's hard to judge whether it actually is better or worse now. If you're on social media, it's definitely possible to perceive that it's obv

Are you trolling, or what? The US has mountains and mountains of regulations about every possible thing. You can't even receive money to cut someone's hair without a certification. Just because other countries have yet more doesn&

Yeah, I really feel this a good way to divide developers into two types. There are those like me, to whom the philosophy of discourage foot guns systematically sounds kind of brilliant. To put it in flattering terms, it's pay a short t

Out of curiosity, what did you try to do that you hit that issue right away? I've been writing Elm apps as side projects for years, and never even come close to the kernel thing being a problem. My apps are mostly graphically undemandi

Is that not true at other companies as well?

Why is it not good economics for their competitors to do so as well?

I totally agree with your diagnosis, but I don’t see why it’s considered to be a problem. Why shouldn’t people be free to trade off salary against other desirable traits in a job? Even at the extremes?

Fair enough. Let's go with the analogy of a compiler, allowing you to write in python instead of assembly. Certainly this is doing a great deal of "thinking" for you. But hasn't it unlocked the more fun aspect of what yo

What about their customers? Am I allowed to speak up for their freedom to engage in consensual commerce? Or is that craven of me as well?

There's still decisions to be made, just different ones. Does using a nailgun take the fun out of building your own dog house?

I'd be really interested in an example. Preferably a link to the actual conversation with GPT4 on ChatGPT or equivalent on another service, but even just typing out the sentence here with the translation you think is correct vs the tra

I've made several home-brewed apps for ios. I just make them webpages, host them for free with Github Pages, and on my phone I make that url into a home screen app and voila. No app store interaction needed.

I'm not even in the anti-WFH camp, but notice you've selectively omitted the most sympathetic camp (what is this argument tactic called? Strawmanning?). People who think teams will be more agile and innovative when they can have i

I was using Apple Classical happily for ~1 month, then it stopped working. It would load all the metadata and let me browse around but when trying to play a song it wouldn't progress. I restarted my phone, reinstalled the app, went thr

That’s only superficially similar to ai’s bitter lesson. The bitter lesson is about methods to achieve results in AI, not about comparing AI methods to non-AI methods.

I would have to Google. You really have the library methods you would need for that memorized? I think the last time I had to select random elements from a list at work was...never. Why would I still know that? Would it be Random.int()? Or
