It's almost like they were trying to reverse-optimize conversion, like maximizing click-away rate. I really want to see how someone well-versed in UX would justify such design, because I see it in many places and am absolutely baffled

A mental exercise I do to manage FOMO is to try and remember duds that I pondered might be the next BTC. Admittedly, it's hard because the brain really tries to forget about those. Keeping a diary is probably the key here.

The reason piracy is perceived to be better is agency. With Netflix/whatever, you have zero agency if something you want isn't there, other than signing up for some other streaming service. Even if it's hard to find something

From docs/LISP.md, on how the Lisp contained within lacks a GC and instead uses reference counting without a cycle collector. > So you do have to be careful not to create cycles, so think about how your code works.

This is the most interesting take on realigning (micro?)blogging incentives I've ever seen. I hope it gets its chance with millions of users, even if it has incorrigible issues like our current standard.

It's clear to me that our current unprecedented interconnectedness is sending us into a dystopia anyways. 50 more years of this, I simply cannot imagine.

It's a good thing our court system in the US doesn't play these games with semantics and instead tries to understand intent. You can use however many layers of coded language you want, but your intent still exists. This goes the o

I use qutebrowser in one-window-per-tab mode and EXWM[1] as my window manager (with ivy for switching buffers). It still needs some more integration but currently is my favorite solution to this problem. [1]: https://github.com&#

Montessori had the right idea here, but goes pretty much ignored by the mainstream. It's a travesty, really. I think it has to do with scalability; our current education system scales much better within the ridiculous budget constraint

Yes; the problem is that for a worker being paid under the minimum wage to rectify this issue, they probably need to produce their work authorization documents at some point, and therefore risk deportation/worse.
