Humans! We rely on nation states for root identity - social security numbers and birth certificates in the US - which are then used to get further identification credentials, eg drivers licenses, mailing addresses, passports, etc. These are

I’m not a fan of cryptocurrencies and I think with regard to world coin there’s plenty to critique when it comes to the security of what they’re doing as well as the potential for corruption. But identity is a Hard Problem that could use so

Polycarbonate scratches easily. Making a composite means the resin can be more brittle, eg scratch resistant, while having more flex.

Yes, they call out that glass has a lower end-of-life impact, eg glass turns into sand.

While I agree (mostly) with the sentiment of commenters, it’s easy for a conversation like this to veer into blaming parents for structural issues. Parents are stuck between a rock and a hard place. Society expects their children to succeed

I’d say that’s one of a few unique selling points. Some others I noticed: - side effects are strictly relegated to async effects, eg all I/O calls return a future - declarative static loading as imports

Is there a good way to try this out without getting the entire team on board? I think this could be very helpful for me but I don’t think I can reasonably expect others to use it. Zoom integration, for instance, would be huge for this.

Thank you, I had chosen those words carefully for this very reason.

Ugh. All these articles conflate the idea of “getting rich” with the kind of wealth that most people don’t know what to do with, eg billions of dollars. What about just reaching the point where you never need to work again? Can we talk abou

I hacked in a weighted stochastic method into a WebGPU solution[0] and it worked surprisingly well. Essentially, given each pixel of a splat, pick a pseudo-random number from zero to one and if it’s lower than the alpha value for the pixel,

In my twenty years in the field, I’ve never met a packer. Every engineer I’ve worked with, from college hires onward, is constantly building a map of the world in their head and I see it in their code. The problem is either that they don’t

The article posits that fathers are only valued for their ability to make money, are expected to do only that, and so do not interact with their community in the same way as mothers. While I don’t think it’s as dramatic as the article clai

But that isn’t the only recommendation. The article also recommends a societal shift in how we think about the role of fathers to something far beyond financial caregiving. I think there’s something valuable to that. Although I will also sa

Increasing? This has always, and will always be an issue. My approach is to roll with it - rather than banish them altogether, I treat all devices like this as such and no more, holding others to the same standard. This, hopefully shifts th

I think the opening sections were necessary to define terms and clarify why an extremely well established system (hourly billing) might not be a good thing. It’s a nuanced argument and requires some verbiage. Maybe it could have been cut do

Great article so far, even if just examined for its prose: > One feels like the dinner guest who has stumbled into a raging martial argument over unwashed tea towels. You don't dare ask for context.

That’s an astonishingly loud machine - I can barely hear mine. I sometimes lay and try to listen to it, but quickly I find the sound of my breathing makes up the majority of noise in the room.

I’m anticipating something that pushes Svelte more into the “language” category Rich has talked about before: https://gist.github.com/Rich-Harris/0f910048478c2a6505d1c321... Putting perf aside for a moment, I think the

The title is terrible and doesn’t refer to the actually interesting key point in the article! The idea trying to be expressed is actually that the expansion of the universe is releasing energy, making the concept of “empty” space impossible

That we can run a simulation of an organism that looks and acts like the real thing evokes a rare sense of wonder I thought I could never again experience from technology.

If the question feels unclear to you, that’s an excellent opportunity to ask clarifying questions, e.g. “Sure, but what do you mean by ‘conflict’? Do you mean a disagreement on how to solve a problem, or an interpersonal conflict?” When I a
