Lolol. Would delete my comment if I could. Ah, well, I still wish them well. :D

Wow, looks like I am not doing that. oxide.host is an entirely different company.

Uh no I just rent a box from them.

I must admit that I am much more unsophisticated than this, and yet I "invested" in Oxide (by running my own projects off Oxide servers), and it is gratifying to see them continue to grow. My (naive) assessment: (a) agreed with Ca

How much does developer happiness really play a role? Probably significant in terms of speed of development, time spent maintenance projects, etc

There’s a place for DRM and similar protections, I don’t think they’re going anywhere. But I’m still hopeful that phone, email, web, voip, videochat, photo and video editing, location, maps, document sync, etc, will one day work seamlessly

Morbidly curious what would actually happen in this scenario.

What are they going to do, talk at us?

How are the computers so bad?? I don't know why, but it's personally embarrassing to me as a developer.

Many parts of the elephant: no motivation to work on hard things without friends, professors, campus, well-paying jobs, and high-status contacts. Would be interesting to see MOOCs on daily stuff: cooking, gardening, cleaning & organizin

A good post, I like the direction and will follow bottoms-up ranking design with interest. :)

Similarly feelings with the ML-based code writing tools. Where's the help with debugging??

Different strategies to bring the same core tech to market. Absolutely comparable.

Hotz’s product should be compared to what Waymo can do right now , not what it’s trying to do.

Well, the grid still works, though eventually there will be brownouts and power cuts. That's when you get to charge your batteries. Hydrogen via electrolysis is an alternative, I think? Less efficient, but stays for longer and can be u

Hydrogen...? Gonna have to live real energy-cheap though. Not much heating/cooling, good insulation, less bathwater, less appliance use, as little driving as possible. Honestly relieved that computer and internet use is lower on the li

Are you really 100% for wind turbines then?? Is there a way to make them less harmful to birds? Maybe keeping the speed lower? Maybe putting up some more static installations that keep birds away? (Like, say, bright trailers on the fan blad

Find some way to give back. Cut back on job hours, volunteer somewhere, help people learn software, whatever. Spend time with your spouse, see if you can given them something they’ve wanted for a long time. Think about adoption.

How do you distinguish 'funnel leaks' (people who could have been converted by hiring a better sales director) from 'bad leads' (people who would never have been converted because they mistakenly clicked on a deceptive a

The argument is along the lines of John Rawl's theory of justice: I would prefer to work at a company where the culture is such that I feel comfortable joining it regardless of my place in the org structure. (Or at least -- the company

Interesting what he says about funnels. If a lens is so pervasive I must assume it's ticking some boxe/scratching some itch -- but it's not clear to me what that is. I can see that it has strong predictive power on company re

All good as far as it goes, but not very common in the industry. Poor management and no mentorship, and this is what you'll get. Now what are everyone's expectations of Mike Acton? If someone sends me an email like this before I&#

Ahaha, this is a tangent, but this stupid situation is why I'm doing my current web project as God intended: in a single .html file, shared with collaborators on Dropbox, editing in any dumb text editor. There are no dependencies.

PWAs _can_ get better and more platform-friendly though. It's two bad choices right now.

Unsurprising because it never got past bro culture in the first place. All the diversity stuff was always “box ticking”, in David Graeber’s taxonomy of bullshit jobs. Though I don’t really blame the industry, the bureaucracy of diversity in

The people who choose to build things (it's not a binary quality, everyone can build, some are better) are not taking moral responsibility for the things they are building. It is hurting society. What is to be done? That is the issue a

It seems that you could also see the responsible innovation team in the same light -- 'the product that ships should be innovating in a responsible way'. Also IME none of these things are binaries -- a product could be more or les
