Yes, and I'd go a step further: OSes in general need a concept of a 'project' or 'task' or whatever, which a) cuts across apps and b) integrates deeply with windowing and spaces. Multitasking and context switching h

Thanks for writing this up — some great insights! The server deciding what to replace reminds me of some old (dangerous, I think) patterns like returning actual JS from the server which the client then executes. But it was a nice pattern

Absolutely. Years ago I found this book on the topic really eye-opening: - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Technological-Revolutions-Financial... The process of _actually_ benefitting from technological improvements is not a strai

Wholeheartedly agree. There’s often good performance or security reasons why it’s hard to get a debugger running in prod, but it’s still worth figuring out how to do it IMO. Your experience sounds more sophisticated than mine, but the one t

Yeah, I do something kind of similar, using Dash [1] snippets which expand to full commands. Since I'm almost always on my mac, it means they're available in every shell, including remote shells, and in other situations like on Sl

I would second the mid-size B2B option here. I found professional services a bit stressful for what the OP is saying. But I also think it’s really personal. Since turning 40 I tried: moving into management at a ~100 dev company; IC at a big

Yes, I would buy any laptop which offered an ortholinear keyboard option, with customisable firmware. I switched to using an Ergodox after long hours working on a MacBook Pro made my wrists start to hurt and my pinkie finger to go numb (and

Strategically, could this be part of a response to Apple silicon? Or put another way, Apple and Google are both responding to Intel/the market’s failure to innovate enough in idiosyncratic manner: - Apple treats lower layers as core, a

Doesn’t this imply the need for a new language feature? So that well-defined sections of inline code can be pulled out, initial conditions set in a testing environment, and then executed independently. I guess this could trip up if the comp

What about providing a BitTorrent link? The main server could provide a backstop seed, and presumably enough other people would seed too for any decent-sized project.

Addictive! Would be great to have some other success metrics, like oldest cell (rather than largest), or cell that has been through most splits.

I like Cubby.com because I can sync arbitrary folders. That said, development does seem to have slowed there too. This seems to be a pattern with other services I’ve used (Copy, Wuala, Dropbox) – hook you with a good free tier and one or tw

Wholeheartedly agree with this, I found Carlota’s book to be accessible despite not having an economics background. There is also an excellent documentary she’s in about the most recent financial crisis: http://www.imdb.com/
