This person takes specific claims from the book and tries to dispute them, while ignoring that the book’s number one big-picture idea of “trauma is unprocessed emotions and memories physically stored in the body” remains the conceptual grou

I have criticisms of both tools like Claude Code and how applicable the 'pair programming' metaphor is here, but strong disagree that the person driving during pairing is the one who learns the most (or perhaps the implied "a

For folks who are interested in the UX design of chorded layouts, Artsey and Ardux ( https://ardux.io ) might be of interest. Artsey is a specific 2x4 one-handed chorded layout (of which Ardux is now a more robust implementation,

This project is or will be a worker-owned co-op, as evidenced by the strict requirements placed on anyone who registers a .coop domain name. I imagine at least equal ownership (if not risk and power) is a given in this specific instance, an

Just basing things off of Android won't get you the "measured in days to weeks" battery life people appreciated about the Pebble, and building your own watch OS from scratch optimized for battery life but still supporting BLE

For most people, using e-ink for general-purpose computing tasks is going to be so jarring and unpleasant that it's extremely difficult to recommend to anyone who doesn't have severe eyestrain issues and has tried and failed mor

This looks great! I’d love to see some of the fantastic context in your lovely Twitter thread included on the website. As someone who’s currently in industry rather than academia, I interpreted “virtual conference” as “a Twitch or YouTube s

It's really not fair to describe the current situation as a "forced WFH experiment". We're trying to work and be even remotely productive during an unprecedented global pandemic, and also happen to be working from home.

I agree, Anki on iOS is significantly underpriced relative to the value it provides ;)

You can't copyright a game mechanic, but you can copyright content. This is why Words With Friends has a different board layout, tile distribution, and tile point values from Scrabble. In that Set C&D, the infringing implementation

These days it's mostly still just "use Cordova/PhoneGap", yeah. For Flappy Royale ( http://flappyroyale.io , https://github.com/flappy-royale/flappy-royale ) we built our own native web vie

I'm guessing that means you rolled your own canvas API code, rather than using a library like PixiJS. Is that something you'd consider open-sourcing, or is it so tightly integrated with game-specific logic that it wouldn't ma

This is a cool idea, but also a pretty unsolved problem, even in digital games. Heck, computers can't even procedurally generate decent crossword puzzles. Best comparison point I can think of are roguelikes, but even if you can figure

I wouldn't necessarily frame that as an inevitability of Dropbox as a product, as much as an inevitability of the traditional VC funding model. It's likely you could build a very healthy business selling people file syncing — I pe

FWIW, Apple's 30% cut doesn't apply. You can't use Apple's IAP system for physical goods.

What I'm hearing is if they replaced "for server costs" with "for costs", people would be fine.

An answer there would likely be smaller teams. For context, when I was at Pivotal (on the consulting side, years ago) a team of 4-5 pairs would be considered quite large. Also a problem that's solved by the combination of pairing and f

Most times I've worked with Lambda (or other competing cloud functions) it's been difficult or infeasible to run my function locally. Which means I can now ONLY test my code manually after a minute or so of deploy time. Separate f

Probably depends on what you mean by "young". Anecdotally (family friends + news articles, although who knows what the latter is worth) a lot of teens are super-into videochat as a primary means of communication. Facetiming someon

Nintendo first-party IP is a HUGE draw, and they're currently on a roll in terms of making games that are both innovative and good. It's hard to overstate how important that is. The Switch is also huge for being the most successfu

Do you personally have recs for how to parse manpages? In my experience, I've found them far more difficult to grok than e.g. the MDN JavaScript docs. Particularly if I'm trying to look up a tool that I don't already have fam
