This is awesome. I've been working on a similar concept based on the Escape Velocity series and love the space trader genre in general. I'm curious how you've thought about the fac…

Exactly - it's just a tool. So, trying to make the argument that someone's work is less-than because they used a cheaper/more amateur tool versus the tool the well-funded professio…

This analogy makes no sense to me and honestly skews pretty elitist in vibe. iPhone is regularly used in professional videography now. Like, 28 Years Later was shot on iPhone. Indi…

"I am white labeling a cloud"

Recently read through The Power of Limits and deepened my appreciation for the golden ratio. https://www.shambhala.com/the-power-of-limits-1203.html

I found this archive while researching a book titled Six Hundred Receipts Worth Their Weight in Gold [0]. My first thought was that the book itself could be a great resource for an…

Huh, I wonder if anyone's tried to validate this approach again now that we have LIGO (and presumably more precise equipment?). I know very little about the physics involved here, …

The creator of this app, Nick Kallen, has a nice YouTube channel where he talks about some of the behind-the-scenes work on the project. I think his video comparing geometry kernel…

An extremely tangential personal anecdote - I learned about WebTV while writing essays for my college applications more than ten years ago. I had stumbled on this memorial site[0] …

I came here curious if anyone would point this out. I was surprised to see the post describing UTC + lat/lng as a common practice in APIs without discussing this quirk. E.g. to you…

I’ve been using shadcn’s UI library lately and have been loving it. It’s distributed as a CLI that you use to vendor in pre-baked implementations of Radix UI components using Tailw…

I once mentioned Desmos to a college friend who was teaching high school math. This was the first and one of the only times I’ve seen someone express true glee about a software pro…

I draw a line at trying to compare property damage and homicide as if they stem from the same “mechanism”. There’s no analogy to be made there. The striking workers didn’t kill any…

Doctors… don’t murder folks (I mean, yes, this has happened, but not as a strategy of a strike). It’s a nonsense hypothetical created to make striking sound absurd. I’ve already de…

Depends on the nature of the relationship with the workers. If I’m employing them directly, I doubt there would be reason for a strike - what are they striking against? I don’t hav…

No, it certainly does not describe the mechanism. One is inconveniencing a business and one is murder. Please don’t get confused on this.

Wonder how the author here would feel about surgeons going on strike scheduled intentionally after beginning open heart surgery on a loved one? This is a silly comparison. Concrete…

Looks great! I like the idea of focusing on highlighted regions at a time. I spent some time exploring similar form factors for learning the fretboard, focusing intervals and shape…

I appreciate that! I'll have to keep an eye out for it. I definitely agree with that perspective - I don't think it matters much how we organize the bits and pieces of the system i…

And here I am burning tokens on my GPT prompts with please-and-thank-yous in 2023 haha

Haha, I have to assume so, but honestly I didn't spend much time in the chicken coop because I thought it smelled bad. I'm not sure where the eggs went, also. And yea, on reflectio…

Ah, they didn't have us apologize to plants - only to thank 'em. It wasn't a guilty thing we did, but it was a lesson to appreciate that they were growing and that we could enjoy t…

I went to a small Montessori school on the Rio Grande while I was growing up, and among the other "new age"-y things going on at the school, we would spend half a day every week in…
