I also love how crows put a walnut on the road, wait until a car drives over it and cracks it open, and then they go collect it. Smort.

Of course, just by being alive everyone contributes to greenhouse gas emissions. But there’s a huge difference between somebody who flies 5 times a year and eats 10kg of beef a month, vs. someone who doesn’t do this (ceteris paribus). There

It’s sad that the greed and selfishness of our societies lead to these kind of dystopian attempts to stop climate change. People are ready to try the craziest things, as long as it’s not one of: curbing their consumption, stop flying or sto

It's not only HN, it's many people "out there" bashing him. The problem is that people can't seem to have a nuanced view. He has done some shitty things, but he also has done some objectively impressive and useful t

Exactly. I wouldn't go as far to say that it's better from a technological standpoint than other open social media protocols [0], but the fact that it's somehow tied to Twitter changes things. If Twitter chooses to switch to

Decentralization doesn't mean hosting your own instance. It's about open protocols. There are hundreds or thousands of email providers that you can use and still send an email to a Gmail user without hosting your own instance.

Cosmos and The Pale Blue Dot by Carl Sagan. Sagan has many great books, but these two I read in 2022. I love the way he writes, and there's something so optimistic about it. At the same time, it's saddening to see that important i

Come on. It wasn't announced officially, but it was leaked all over the place and there were almost no surprises in the official announcment, including that they're going to focus more on work not only gaming. As others have said,

Gitpod URLs are generated every time you start a new environment (usually every time you start working a new feature/bug fix), and it doesn't have static URLs. So you would need to update the endpoint URLs manually. If you use VS

I love this guy. On a slightly related note: I'm thinking of starting a newsletter where I send one "public science" video out every other week. This will include speeches and discussions by people like Carl Sagan, Richard Da

I've also switched all my dev work to Gitpod a year ago and I don't want to go back to developing locally anymore. I curse and swear every time I need to work on a project locally.

There's nothing wrong with that, and I have many friends that like the social upsides of having an office. But I think it will become increasingly common to divide social life and work in the future. Imagine the following: You have a f
