Just my opinion, as someone who loves the ecosystem and tolerates the language.

Yes. As an example, think of the juicero debacle. They tried that game, and failed miserably because the whole offering was not attractive. Most of your ad absurdism examples fall along these lines. I have no problem with restrictions that

Buy a non Apple device if you don't want to jump through Apple's hoops.

It's their devices, they can add or remove features as they see fit imo. If they make enough choices that negatively impact user experience, there will be a vacuum for a better offering.

What's beneficial for consumers is the fact that the Apple ecosystem exists at all. People pay because it's a good experience. Everyone is welcome to create good end-user experiences with open technologies like PWA, and distribute

This is a ridiculous meme. If you enjoy the mafia's services, don't be surprised if they ask you to pay. But it's your choice to go to them (ask to be put on their platform and sell to their customers). You can make your own

Apple may be robbers, but they're not trolling a public highway, they're demanding fees if you want to drive on the highway that they built. Build a better ecosystem around better devices, better software, better marketing, and be

> why people love this language so much Because no matter what problem you have, after 12 minutes of googling, you can pip install foo. The language almost doesn't matter because most programming is via library api.

Size of impact is orthogonal to quality of impact, people who chase social stats seem to forget this fact.

A poor library choice or two is not even 1% of the systemic dependencies any system has if it's working at a reasonable level of abstraction. > "not give up and say we can’t get better" Not sure why you feel the need to st

I think GP's "millions of lines of code" references the code that runs all the systems outside of your particular org's architecture.

You shouldn't take money for what you can't deliver. If enough customers ask for a customization, add that to your pipeline and you'll have some good news to share when it's ready.

Thought it looked familiar, and I realized I saw the idea in an old Nikita Propokov screencast. Nice to see him mentioned there and Clojure code as an example.

This is a great meta level view of the moral perception landscape, the individual replies advocating for one particular prescriptive position or the other are missing the forest for the trees.

The stimulus response mechanisms are far from hard wired. The brain is plastic at all levels.

I could honestly not tell whether that quote was written satirically or actually in the article without looking.

You're absolutely correct, that is the dominant hyperparameter for a tool like this. If every word was hyperlinked, it would be nonsense. The good news is we don't need to analyze and forecast what the optimum is, we just need to

Zettelkasten is exactly what you wrote here, with one addition. It not only offloads querying for detail (i.e. search) to the machine, it also offloads some connection-making. Search and lookup is internet-as-extended-memory, links and back
