I still hand write a lot of code, and especially when starting out on projects or making more fundamental changes. I find it leads to better architectural solutions. My thinking has been that writing it out by hand can be slower so my brain

A potentially good idea got corrupted by vendors, password managers, browsers, etc trying to assert control. I'm also an engineer and I find the UI around passkeys entirely unclear, but it doesn't have to be that way. It seems lik

Very cool project! It looks nice and the technical aspect of how sharing/CRDT is implemented is a really great idea! I would definitely be interested in the ability to change the relay; ideally to something self-hosted.

Looking through the docs it seems a very nice lisp. Clean, simple, yet covers all the basics without a lot of legacy warts. let with less parens and limitless if branches are very nice. Definitely one of the nicer looking JS lisps I've

I think you make a great point. We _should_ question whether it's a good idea to make the word processor. I'm not saying it shouldn't necessarily be made but we should think about how it can be used and if the potential for h

This is abuse and wrong. Just as it is abuse and wrong for every website or app that does something similar. And this couldn't exist if we as software creators didn't make it. We as the creators of software need to look at everyth

I do all my browsing with uMatrix with everything blocked by default but first party CSS. It really makes the internet a more enjoyable place to be. Pages load much, much faster and it's often easier to find and read the content. On mo

I agree on "Left hand of darkness". "The Dispossessed" really is excellent though.

This seems like a good time to question if we really should have cars at all. Autonomous cars might be better in some ways but they are still tons of metal flying at high rates of speed. Accidents will happen and people and other animals wi

Do programmers love numbers and algorithms so much they want to be reduced to them? Programmers are people and should be treated as such. Also, shouldn't we be concerned that giving one company's algorithms control over who gets h

Why are we still making appeals to corrupt politicians? We might not control the cables but we do control the content. Why don't we shut it down until we get what is right? Why not another SOPA blackout and this time it doesn't st

At that point it seems you would have just promoted politicians in to the capital class without the middle-person, but again they now represent the capital class and all their non-politician capital class buddies at the cocktail parties, in

Yes, it fluctuates depending on numerous factors, including how unhappy those without capital get about the unequal distribution of capital. You see this when monopolies start getting broken up and some wealth gets passed back down. But ine

America has a capitalism problem. What the article fails to address is that the root cause is really capitalism. Under capitalism wealth and power always concentrates, which in the case of businesses, that eventually means bad monopolies. U

What do you mean by better code? Good design is totally different than small tweaks and style changes. I'd argue putting in the effort to learn how to create good designs is the best way to write better code but it takes a lot more tim

Don't waste time trying to learn and develop style. Don't waste time studying other code just for the sake of learning how to write better code. Don't waste time reading generic things on how to write better code. Put the eff
