I would like to suggest that the attempts to solve 'toxicity' in social media are actually an attempt to relativize the latent, normalized, usual-amount white supremacism, heteronormativity, ableism and patriarchy that most makers

This. Honestly, this article is fascinating to me for reasons that might discomfit its author. Not that ignorance of the last 300 years of philosophy on this topic is something necessarily to be ashamed of, but this essay, and the reaction

Well, I know which way this is going to go. The pawns who built the structure of this economic game are the ones being cleared; and every chess player knows what happens when you run out of pawns.

This is fascinating. As a writer and coder, I find the subsumption of longform culture into the a niche blogosphere genre gives me chills. Say what you will about Condé Nast, this implosion is poignant for anyone who has dreamed of supporti

Thank you <3 For reference, this reasonable, human exchange cost me 4 karma points, because as everyone knows, being a human on Hacker News is a 403.

I sincerely hope they don't discriminate against the unhoused. This could be a game changer for folks who are used to putting together $20 per night for a shelter stay already (being homeless is very expensive, as I learned firsthand m

I don't feel attacked, and my knowledge of food is far from comprehensive, and I certainly didn't intend it as such. I stand by what I said: you can't learn anything about cooking in an hour except what you need to take the n

Perhaps, but I don't speak for myself -- I'm describing a practice that is well understood, like rules of the road.

in philosophy we say: "Standardly, XYZ, but if I understand you, you're saying ABC, are you not? What motivates this difference?" Key points: -identify that you are making an explicit formal comparison to a usual solution -co

No, the sim itself is not that impressive compared to Unity or similar. They are, however, impressive relative to legacy React, which, as a development modality, has an enormous amount going for it. React and React-likes are winning in the

I'm reading a lot of commenters above chime in with explanations for why it's logistically hard for GOOG to maintain these scut-work keep-lights-on projects because they are so unappealing to their engineers and often involves e.g

Too bad a functional fourth estate is a dependency for, you know, western democratic capitalism. Less puckishly: What I feel upon reading this is sort of like that feeling when you find out some bad piece of news about climate change. It&#x

'CRM' stands for Customer Relationship Management, and in a sentence is usually short for 'a CRM app'. CRMs are what folks use to keep track of their relationship with a given client. E.g. when you call your bank, the pe

I just went away, learned all about RxJS, and then about Connective, and I think I'm in love. This is a simple, pure, and elegant way of expressing complex systems. The site makes a whole lot more sense when you catch up with the react

Try drawing hands. (If you're a non-artist like myself.) It's impressively hard --- they are complex artefacts we can't quite see clearly because we are so used to them. There are a lot of, as it were, polygons. If, after s

Nit, but PLEASE date your essays. I have no idea if this is from 1998, 2008, or 2018, and it matters to how I read it. A lot.

After nearly two decades of FOSS advocacy I've come to the conclusion that most consumers (a) already know about their gardens' walls, and (b) actually prefer it that way. The view that freedom is always preferable over, say, th
