One thing that is unclear is how will my personal project repo be accessible once I go offline if nobody is seeding it. Just like torrents it seems I have to at least be online at first until others start seeding it. And if all seeders go o

I always thought maintaining servers was silly since BitTorrent already proved we can achieve higher bandwidth throughput using lots of clients communicating together. But p2p is more about the network connectivity than whether the node is

I want something like AdBlocker extensions but for replacing algorithms of these social media platforms. It can be community driven so I can select “give me scientifically proven posts” algorithm or “non political stuff” algorithm.

To me beginning of life is a combinatorial issue. You have to have the right combination of lots of different things (chemicals, weather conditions, time etc) to have it happened. What’s scary (or interesting) to me is that we have access t

I also think Bitcoin is limited in quantity much more than Ethereum? Making it more scarce. But not 100% sure about this.

To some people comparing mobx to react saying that "i just ditched mobx because react does the same thing" I don't believe this is true. Apart from the seperation-of-concerns benefit mobx is different in the sense that it wor

Yeah the data-gathering-AI-stuff is cool & creepy but I'm actually more interested in the UX of the site. Forget buttons, dialogs, beautifully designed pages. Future UIs should have videos of a person talking telling you what is ha

Awesome work! The easy-of-use and privacy capabilities of this totally out-weight the somewhat slower performance. The safety one has with being able to do this in the browser, rather than having to download a tool that is not "sandbox

Such wholesome words from a man that has everything. As a Serbian proverb says: “Be humble for you are made of earth. Be noble for you are made of stars.”... applies perfectly to Gates.

Why not put them in... space? Lots of energy (direct sun) and cold temperatures up there. I guess space debris could be an issue.

This shows me that coding hasn't evolved at all over the last 30 years.

I think it’s because with content addressable URLs, the URL is a hash and you can verify that the content never changes? But not 100% sure

What I’ve noticed is that code is the only medium of communication that is non-ambiguous. Designers, product people, stakeholders, etc, all use ambiguous mediums. It’s impossible to understand just how pedantic and explicit you need to be

Great insight. Since the process of creating software must be pedantic, then it seems we must push towards ways of sharing the burden with as many people as possible, and not just ones that can understand the "computer way". And I

I'm gonna be the web guy... have we given up on the web completely? Why not improve the signup/payments experience using Web APIs? Why not integrate safari more closely to what is required with these App Clips? It seems the only r

Why do services like whatsapp need support for this? We have URLs people! Here I just send an URL to my friend via whatsapp. They click on the link. The site takes care of giving user whichever payment method they desire. User pays. That&#x

App Clips seem yet another lock-in solution. They want devs to go through the app store so they get full control and revenue access. Instead of downloading a 10mb App Clip you just go to a url that uses some standards to login/access-p

Presidents have all kinds of privileges that others don’t. Why should their privilege on social-media be diminished? To me the problem is not the platform but the fact that they have such exceptional privilege to begin with. What I don&#x27

I love how Browsers & Deno have shown how we can do dependency management using urls containing code (ESM). This is a huge step forward. This makes me think, is file-based code-split strategy enough? What if we'd put code (not data
