I have a hypothesis that 1/8 of fatherhood is treating the most interesting things about your life like a FOIA request is needed to get you to tell them.

As far as I've seen, The Free Press' major crime is not necessarily what they cover but that they are egregiously tactless and their bias doesn't convey "good faith". With that being said, this article actually is

The most glaring thing about this article to me is that I didn’t find the author having mentioned that he had any significant offline relationships prior to taking a year off. I mean, he encounters various people under an array of pretenses

I understand and I agree with you for the most part. Most of what we're discussing exists in a grey area to me, one that can only be clarified if we differed to real-world norms at the expense of forfeiting some of our natural inclinat

The internet is a strange place, where ceasing to care about being online occupies a performative space similar to caring about being online. The fact that instances such as Pilgrim's and _why's are referred to as a form of "

My impression is that you know that there's nothing "wrong with you" and that the dynamics expressed by that recruiter in part 2 explain enough (to me at least) and indicate your own awareness that there's nothing wrong

Because I can differentiate between being upset over something, especially something that is a minor inconvenience relative to other things that can occur in a man's life, but not being upset to the extent where I dislike those respons

The most interesting part of this are the Mastodon posts underneath the initial one that insult this Vaught's integrity for not taking the handle repossession personally.

Maybe he just doesn't care that much. Inconvenienced, evidently, but to stake a personal dislike towards a human being for this seems unwarranted.

This comment is sensational, but the article here is eerily similar to one also on the front page published by the WSJ: "It’s Time to Bring Back Asylums" https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36826335

Thank you for this. It feels like this article undermines the history of the region. To even evoke the Arab Spring, to me is an easy way to sound informed without acknowledging how/why the affected regions “sprung”. It’s an interesting

This and Honk are great because they dare to be different visually and functionally. Ted’s casual criticisms of ActivityPub and the federated software that uses the standard are also informative. I think that his experience as an OpenBSD de

I stand corrected. Thank you!

The author's website is designed to look like the OpenBSD manual's web page. This is a blogpost about mandoc/markdown in the form of a man page...for mandoc...very clever. http://schwarze.bsd.lv/mandoc.7 Also

I'd be interested in KeenWrite if it supported MacOS. Your pandoc/ConTeXt guide is top notch. ConTeXt is very underrated.

My guess is that their interests lie somewhere near the advocacy of something like a techno-democracy. Where "tech" is used dually to refer to "technocracy" in the traditional sense and as alluded to in this article, &qu

The fact that he publishes informative pieces at such a steady rate is remarkable as well. And the fact that he resisted to use the phrase "deep dive" in this particular one is indicative of a high level of discipline with his pro

The tone of some of these entries are…poignant, to say the least. Is it the notion that people identify journals and diaries as repositories for a certain kind of self-reflection? Or the relationship between sadness and nostalgia (the nosta

Unless you don’t have anything indicative of a community already in place then this isn’t a sound enough motive.

There is no obvious counter-cultural movement in the West because there is nothing deemed subversive enough by major institutions that hasn't been commercialized to some extent. If we are viewing things on a political spectrum, the rig

This reaction isn't targeted toward all UX blogs...but some of the one's that I've come across go a little too far with their rhetoric. Some of them have this overt "romanticist" bend to them that can come across as

I’m seeing the same thing. Sorts Mill Goudy also comes in a single weight and it looks like the author is forcing CSS font-weight values beyond 400 for their headings. Off-topic: I think UX blogs give me the heebie jeebies.

This is nuts. I can understand the appeal of “legacy” articles (ones that spring up from time to time across months/years) being valuable as individual records. But there should be a way for articles/threads like this one that cov
