You can easily do this today, just start a mastodon instance and restrict the signups. I run a > 100 user instance on just a $10 digital ocean VPS. I'm seeing small tight-knit community instances popping up all over the place. You c

I'm shocked by the comments of those here that don't see why something like this must exist and don't see that there is tremendous financial upside for whoever cracks this. Employee equity can generate unbelievable amounts of

Over the years I've tried a leap, gesture, HON exposure, aeron, and embody... and after all of it still find I vastly prefer a $70 Ikea Millberget to all of them https://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/product

The hon is pretty good, but the way the back tilts isn't super comfortable to me, and also the arm rests are a very hard plastic. I put padding on the top of the arms, but then the height of the padding combined with the fact that you

I 100% agree with the author on this. VR in its current iteration is clearly not suitable for this in any way, but down the line the fundamentals of VR align perfectly with some of the pain points of remote collaboration. With all current c

Facebook deemphasizing clickbait content reliably hurts their metrics. YouTube deemphasizing extremist videos reliably hurts their metrics. This metrics-driven product development was totally understandable (and I even tried to do it) up un

I was just as entrenched but am about a year into a gradual transition. Signed up with another email provider with an address @ a domain I own, transferred my entire mail history, forwarded all incoming gmail emails to new provider, updated

I'm a layman, but to my knowledge navigating a digital environment and a real one are the same minus some steps of the process. A self-driving car recreates a digital reality via sensors with as little delay and fidelity loss as possib

This (or something like it) is always the top thread. I wish this was something the frontend community cheered about, not lamented. Those 200MB of node modules are developers ad-hoc cobbling together an alternative to xcode and android stud

I tried to do the same during a bout of extended international travel. I popped out the fi sim once to try a super cheap local unlimited data sim (some countries are great for this), only to find out afterwards that it killed the fi pairing

It's not youtube. It's not facebook. It's not twitter. You can write this article about any company these days. It's a deeper fundamental devil's cocktail of monetized attention + modern (intensely and immediately m

I've found myself so annoyed with the touch bar I used this great disabler https://github.com/LumingYin/TouchBarDisabler Conveniently, it maps key combos like ctrl+1 to make the screen dimmer it ctrl+2 to make the

I've seen it pointed out before though that it would fall back to just the BSD license and others countered saying that was definitely not the case. It seems to be yet another fundamental thing about this that isn't clear or agree

Good point. Just switched it to rdom-open (first thing that popped in my head lol)

I love love love love love react as a technology, but this is just awful. I believe any developer not on Facebook's payroll still contributing to React or React native at this point has a moral obligation to stop. I personally feel lik

Yes, but on a serious note the difference in potential upside between investing in this vs. a traditional restaurant chain is like that between investing in Amazon vs. a traditional book store chain. If you can find a way for the business

I felt oddly vindicated when he mentioned Ticketfly specifically... It irked me too that they don't allow guest checkout, so in making http://showboarder.com I put in the extra thought/effort to make it an option. That

I disagree with almost all of your comments about SC2. All of the things you mentioned (no lan, no clans, allowing blord/infestor to go on too long, etc.) are just red herrings for the greater factors at play that kept SC2 from explod

In playing around with dokku for use on my VPS I just generally got the impression that it wasn't ready to be used in production. I repeatedly ran into snags or bugs, but so many steps had been automagically taken care of by dokku tha

I'd love to see the same structure analyzed again by a marxist or something instead of Friedman. Instead of focusing on the pencil getting made by this almost unfathomably complex concert of global labor, you can focus on the few bour

I feel like this post would benefit from a succinct description of what the product is either in the title or on the linked page.

Some time in the not so distant future we'll think that it was silly that in 2014 the majority of development was done locally.
