I got my account banned on Tweeter for literally doing nothing. I mainly had it because Twitter requires you to have an account in order to read tweets and occasionally I needed to read a tweet there. A few weeks ago my account got suspende

Oh man this is all really hurting my brain. I wish I had a good response to this. I wish I had a magical simple response and a way to resolve this problem. On one end, I stop by curl's H1 profile regularly and watch people just drown t

God yes. I got dragged into the uv when I started using copyparty and I am a fanatical admirer ever since. I also use pipx to install tools often. I really don't understand why you can't just pip install something globally. I want

I used drugs recreationally. I don't like to talk about it. I especially don't like to talk about it online on a profile that's very heavily linked to my identity. Over many years of regular use of all kinds of different drug

Only Python, TypeScript and JavaScript? Well there go my vibe-coded elisp scripts. I guess it's impossible (or really hard) to train a language-agnostic classifier. Reference, from your own URL here: https://www.span.app&#x2

Even if you do everything perfectly there's always a chance one of Microsoft engineers made a mistake somewhere and somebody found it and is now sitting on a zero day. And now with vibe coding the likelihood of that went up by who know

Just for clarification, I'm not making a phone of any kind, nor do I really feel strongly about this subject. I really kind of wish YC had an option to remove my own comments. For some reason, I always thought you could remove your own

Speed and Moore's law. You don't need to just make a decision without hallucinations, you need to do it fast enough for it to propagate to the power electronics and hit the gas/brake/turn the wheel/whatever. Over an

I mean, probably not, but like, the world doesn't care what we think we should show. Should we dismantle people's bodies and show it to those people's children? Should we show children their own detached arms while trapping t

Yeah, I mean seriously. I'm sure most fashion designers can sew, and I'm sure most industrial designers know basics of electronic boards. The hardest part about web-design isn't even coding/sketching. It's finding a compromise between your

I just work on things that are interesting and tolerate things that are not interesting to work on things that are interesting. Makes sense? :)

Failure is necessary. We all explore new territories by testing boundaries (is this fire safe to touch?). Failure is just a way of finding out boundaries. We do not have enough sense mechanisms to navigate us freely through different dimens

The whole war on drugs thing is a hysteria created by certain aspects of drug-use being artificially blown out of the proportion. Many of the risks associated with drug use (like overdose or addiction) are actually created by the legal syst

"Plateaus" implies a two-dimensional outlook on life, which is not even how life works. Life isn't even four dimensional. It has many, many dimensions that grow and die out. You can be happy, sad, afraid, and horny all at the same time. I.e

I like the brochure thing. I think it takes into account the human nature of the users and their feelings. It's design that lets us feel connection with the program. I much rather prefer comfortable textured armchairs than soulless straight

Actually, yes. The research in neuroaesthetics has shown some interesting results that point out humans' natural preference towards straight, rather than oblique lines: http://www.wfu.edu/psychology/faculty/pubs/schirillo/Article... I do

Quite frankly, ordinary life is not that different from WoW. You go on quests, you level-up your character through education and courses, and then you earn points (money) that you can spend on shiny things like cars. Seriously.

It's not that technology is heroin, it's that heroin is technology. World of Warcraft is also technology. Cars -- technology? Technology. Movies -- technology. We keep inventing these entertaining and pleasurable things, and at first we get

I think a lot of software developers fail to realize the fact that people are very emotionally-driven. They try to design software as if it was interacting with completely rational and logical machines. Which is great for specialized progra

Exactly. So, essentially if you smoke too much weed and become comatose/near-comatose you will not be able to do anything other than lay on the couch. Which is how amotivational syndrom happens.. If however, you do not smoke yourself into a

deviantArt seems to be a place like that.. Altough it's a lot more art-oriented.

So essentially your argument is that sitting at home, taking hits out of a bong every 30 minutes and watching movies is unproductive? I agree.

I think you were using cannabis as an excuse and perhaps mis-dosing yourself. Yeah, if you smoke a gram or two per day, it will probably make you a couch potato. Just like if you take enough opiates you'll lay unconscious and die. But I thi
