Very cool, kudos! It would be even cooler if it had a deeper view of categories. Right now the biggest category by far is People & Blogs but it's possible to get much more information if it was broken down into sub-categories.

Looks and feels like a lightweight code editor that's geared towards React. What are your future plans/roadmap?

It is not the lecturers job to police their students. People that cheat only end up cheating themselves, and nobody but the cheater should do anything about it.

The idea you are presenting is very broad, and the explanation doesn't really help narrow it down to anything practical. How would you implement this in practice? How would such a "social construct" operate? With that said I

The novelty factor IS important. Back in the 90s/00s techies were relatively rare. Being tech-oriented, generally smart but also socially awkward and introverted is an interesting mix - you derive identity and pride from the things tha

Well yes, but flying drones are not exciting when everybody can build/buy one.

Jurassic Park, while a fictional story, illustrates the problem beautifully. "Life finds a way".

I get why someone may need tools like this, especially if they are in sales or a similar profession, but I can't help thinking how disingenuous this is. Moreover, it's easy for me to sniff out and block people who try to keep me &

Imagine if (apologies for the metaphor) each and every sperm cell knew the odds of fertilizing an egg and had a choice whether to pursue that goal or not. I think that in that case no egg would ever be fertilized, right? I think success is

Something must first be invented, then used, then abused, before laws are enacted.

Yes, but the point of blockchain tech is to enable such social contracts to be formed, and over time, strengthened. Isn't that the point of decentralized anything? You can decentralized tech all you want, but without a social contract

Here we go again. NFTs is a technology that goes hand in hand with a social contract to abide by the ledger. People disregard that social contract as if it wasn't here, but it IS there. Just like patents are written to some database bu

"Any application that could be done on a blockchain could be better done on a centralized database. Except crime." So you're saying there IS a use case :)

Oh I get the purpose of the article and it got ME excited. However, I'm concerned about other voices which may speak out against it in the context of my original reply. It'd be interesting to follow this thread and see if this sen

There's a strong anti Mars settlement sentiment going on, not just anti "space tourism". The idea, which I don't really subscribe to in this context, that we should utilize whatever resources we assign to space towards f

This sounds mind-blowing, except that current public sentiment seems strongly against space exploration and that may catch up with budgets. Even though SpaceX does the launches, it is government agencies that deal with launching missions, a

This could be called callous, yes, but I urge you to re-read the post. The OP didn't even complete his degree, and haven't done any other worthwhile project that requires some tenacity.

You're right, you can't try everything. But you could try n things in life, if you're willing to risk picking the "wrong" thing for a while.

by dvh1990 5y ago
I think it's perfectly fine to say "I'm happy where I am, I don't want more". But that's not the OPs sentiment. I think that deep inside OP feels entitled to higher achievements than they have been able to reac

Well how can you find something you like without giving it a serious try first? I've been playing guitar for 16 years. I'm not pro-level, but I'm as good as I want to be and I love it. Did I love it from the get go? Hell no.

You can't guarantee results, but you can guarantee a good attempt to get results because the latter is under your control.

Reading through the various comments, I wonder what happened to good old-fashioned ambition. Other than my post, all I can see are "it's ok, I feel the same way, don't change" replies. We used to admire our heroes and tr

I agree with that, but I had to learn this lesson the hard way: By trying to do things I hate. If you have that belief, sometimes the way to get out of it is to play it out to conclusion.

Perhaps, but I believe it is a mindset worth pushing forward.

I understand where you're coming from, but a person in the situation that the OP is in has only two options: Do nothing, or do something. Yes, achieving "greatness" is sadly not in the cards for most of us. But to try is a ch

by dvh1990 5y ago
I'll be brutally honest because I used to be in your situation. Each and every person you admire has poured thousands of hours into some project. For some that's a degree. For some it's a game they wrote, for others it's

This question is what Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance is all about - that quality is objective. I know PG is familiar with that book, which is why I find it odd that there's no mention of it in this essay.
