Pretty big ask to have people just jump in. An itch.io style page would be nice for a preview.

> Yarvin's most cherished plan was to create a shadow university called the "Antiversity" -- a sort of repository of all truths unbeholden to politics and fads. Is this a bad idea?…

RE: that Neil O'Brien piece Demographic collapse? Sure, huge issue. But why is this happening? Why did it start happening before the other issues? A rap group being critical of Chu…

IMO That example is way too complicated to be an elevator pitch. I'm trying to understand what working with your framework would be like for a web app, not the boilerplate to estab…

I worked on USAID software for reporting costs and results and there were annual and quarterly briefings IIRC. It was kind of a whole thing. Also, Congress codified it as an indepe…

The placement of the monitor is also odd, doubly so because it is curved. Most sims will let you render offset from the driver seat (iRacing has keyboard shortcuts to make all thes…

Yeah, he updated the ToS when he took over to allow the Hunter Biden material.

I also have an LLC for software and didn't love having to put my address, since I don't have a storefront or anything either, but I don't think it reveals any more info than someon…

What the hell is going on with the little sentences in that example? I thought it was supposed to be like, a bad VC rap joke song or something? I was looking for rhymes. It's reall…

Clue (1985) had several different endings sent to different theaters, which as a comedy was a pretty funny and novel idea. The VHS release contained all of them at the end with tit…

There's a narcissism that lends to every generation thinking theirs is the end of history, but I don't think it entirely explains anxiety over climate change.

That sort of sounds like the solution I was thinking of when reading this.. that handlers should only cache the signal received to be handled at the program's convenience, except f…

I sent out plenty of resumes with nice cover letters to jobs I felt overqualified for over the 4 months I was just looking, and had maybe one response.. from a recruiter. But I wor…

Making less money isn't a "loser mentality", for an SWE or anyone else. I'd happily take something that paid less for good non-profit work etc (but those orgs have always been real…

The market is the market, for better or worse. I do think SWE are overvalued socially/monetarily, but I don't see why you're so emotional over someone saying they deserve what they…

$180k within four years is more than reasonable if you get into FAANG. I've had plenty of kids right out of college asking for $140k and getting it from other companies, and this w…

That's totally valid, also. I do sometimes miss the office, particularly from when I worked in a healthy office culture, but would want it to be optional.

As someone who lived in Northern Virginia for a bit and knew some reenactors, I heard some interesting stories about how many issues it caused during the DC Sniper attacks https://…

That's fascinating, thanks. None of the various analysis I've read so far have hit on this point but it makes sense.

Bingo re: Unity going public. Once you have a stock price (and assuming your early investors aren't the most aggressive type in the first place) the goal then shifts to infinite gr…

This is great. I was making a 3D NES emulator years ago, which just dug into the PPU memory (plus some register hooks during frames) to figure out what was being rendered (old arch…

Early JS state management was horrific, yeah, but modern libraries (while a little hard to wrap your mind around initially) are really powerful.

I agree with your meta-analysis-analysis completely. Just chiming in to say that I chuckled when you reminded me of this classic: https://twitter.com/dril/status/464802196060917762…

Nothing! Quite the opposite. You've avoided the typical modern meat grinder approach to hiring devs. If you've been at the same company for 5-6 years or just slotted into a comfy n…

I like the idea of an initiative for applications to provide metadata for any window manager to handle them more intelligently. Letting the user quickly fill in the gaps in the mea…
