Algorithmic social media blasts content from strangers, Chat Wells is an experiment in opposition to that trend. Sit down next to strangers and chat for a while. See what they're up to, post about something yourself and check in every

Lots of stories about being bored in class and making programs, so I thought I'd share mine. The functions feature allow you to define and graph equations with x and y. Well other variables also factor in including program defined vari

Uxn runs on its own VM, so each emulator emulates this VM, just like every java implementation emulates the JVM, etc. In other words, the emulator isn't designed for any specific physical machine to begin with.

An experimental programming language that uses pattern matching and pipes. https://git.sr.ht/~kylep/pipes Just a toy, but I like playing with novel semantics and paradigms which break out of the procedural/functio

The most prevalent use of GMOs in agriculture by far is resistance to roundup herbicide, enabling free use to knock out other weeds. Other GMOs are rarely viable on the wider market, likely because natural mutation and selection are just mo

Along the same lines is a general theory of mine that many people in this era generally underestimate the cost of coordination, and overestimate the efficiency gain of bulk processing.

People don't generally read hacker news because of its polish, but because of its novelty. There's plenty of polished backwash to read elsewhere. For me, undeveloped personal insight is just the kind of content I find most interes

I have seen little consideration made to the carbon cycle which produced this result of methane output in landfills. It doesn't come from nothing. Methane is a compound generally produced by the breaking down of organic compounds in th

> The need for altogether different technologies that are less opaque, more interpretable, more maintanable, and more debuggable — and hence more tractable—remains paramount. Good luck, sounds more reasonable to hire some kind of an AI t

I don't think it's correct to say it's not good to buy lattes or new cars, but I think we should be aware of what it costs you verses the alternative. I think it's common knowledge that new cars deprecate extremely quick

I'd say there's a fundamental difference I think between the examples. Windows and the software that comes with it isn't undesirable because it's cheap, but because it's locked down.

I'm not sure that's what was meant by government backed. The government doesn't pay for your retirement fund, a Roth IRA just doesn't charge tax on withdrawals.

I see your point and agree... there should be no difference. But I think a lot of times it's not WYSIWYG when it comes to software, because there is so much hidden infrastructure on top of something simple.

I see open source and capitalism as very similar ideas. It really is summed up in the absence of rules. And I like the analogy from the article > empty spaces do not remain vacant for a very long time But this seems to be impling that we

This is true, but honestly, why not just start doing some yoga to avoid $30/month?

Every piece of advice listed is great but it's twisted to sound ridiculous. Believe it or not, you can do a lot of things yourself. - Buying raw food from a grocery store and cooking it yourself can save a lot of money - You can jog ou

Facebook has no obligation to share what you share. No one has that obligation. They may be a "platform" but that doesn't mean it's a free playing field.

Quite clearly this is just a move to gain back support. But this has nothing to do with free speech. If I tell someone something, they have no obligation to broadcast what you said. Why should Facebook act differently? I don't like tha

The progressive to-do list could add a whole slew of other things. How about free housing, electricity, internet, food, clothes, phones for all? But at what cost? The thing I don't get about the socialist movement in America is where d

I agree. I thing Americans are drifting apart because we aren't making an effort to create a social fabric that can support those less fortunate around us. But I strongly disagree that this is a good job for the government. I think emp

This is true. It comes down to two things I think that go hand in hand 1. Do they have enough persistance to learn and then tackle problems 2. Do they even care? Most people just aren't wired that way and it's nice enough if you f

Recently I've been trying out fermentation with sourdough, ginger beer, kefir and anything else I can find to try out. It has many upsides, preservation, it's healthy and it's fun. In my opinion this article goes a bit too fa

I actually played this when I was a kid. I remember really enjoying it. Now I'm a computer programmer and I won't use any OS other than Linux.
