Considering the size and scale of Github, do you feel like it's become closer to an infrastructural public good rather than a privately owned product? The amount of impact I've seen to businesses around the US at least might as we

I was big into the WC3 custom maps community back in the day, the idea that you could make money doing any of this was silly. The point when I was growing up was two things: 1. Make something fun to play 2. Make something I could put into m

People won't care until they do. After two years of talking up mastodon/pixelfed and most folks ignoring me, I've gotten 2 pings from family members about signing up and migrating off of twitter/instagram. It's only

I don't see a lot of comments about how China is tackling this. While the US is spending all it's time/investments developing AI, China is investing heavily in robotics. They seem to understand that they can't mitigate t

I've fallen into this problem before, but theres an additional trap you should be aware of: You are not a therapist. You cannot and should not just "listen" to problems that you're not allowed to work on or expect the ot

It bothers me that we're comparing logical languages versus compositional, and I think it's based on a clear misunderstanding of what CSS is supposed to do versus something like C++. It's like saying Rego[1] should just be do

My family have bought macs and been apple fanboys since the "Pizzabox" 6100 PowerPC. My dad handed me down a DuoDock when I was in middle school. We bought a G4 Cube, I had an iBook and Powerbook throughout college and throughout

I wouldn't be surprised for certain kinds of secret sharing. Storage is cheap and sneaker-nets are easy. I'm sure someone is figuring out a network solution where 2 computers both have a 100tb hard drive with the same one-time pad

Is it inhumane or just inconvenient? I think we should have all sorts of housing including this sort, and people should be able to select their experience and cost (above a humane standard). When I traveled through Japan a few years ago, my

Right, which is part of the reason bad zoning laws are the cause of the current rent affordability crisis, they should also be changed.

Cowardly, weak, and pathetic are the only attributes you can use to describe this behavior. I'm not saying this in order to "get a rise" or "inflame" a discussion here, but how can anyone really justify this?

I'm enjoying this holier-than-thou attitude that seems to pervade a lot of comments, as though following the "rules" is all we need to do and is morally justifiable. These "rules" weren't voted upon by either c

I've used both, and while I think Vega has it's uses, it's not nearly as web developer friendly. Frontend engineers want a clear delineation between logic, composition and styling. By combining everything into a JSON document

I'm a big believer that the reason for the level of government bureaucracy and busywork described in this article is not a bug, it's a feature. Government's job within a capitalist country in a lot of ways is to ensure stabil

There isn't, because human trust can barely scale past 100 people, much less the entire internet. I think humans will recede into the tribes we were always built to understand and be a part of. Private group chats are far more popular

Yeah I will admit that considering you have a daughter literally a month old, they can't yet express their individuality and separateness from others, but I think you should be prepared for these challenging questions far more early on
