    Non-sequitor: "perspective hangover" might be my favorite phrase I've ever read. So much of what we deal with is trying to correct-the-record on how we used to think about things. …

    Can you give am example of the most useful prompting you find for this? I'd like to interact with papers just so I can have my attention held. I struggle to motivate myself to read…

    I know this comment is effectively a side tangent on a side tangent. but that was always the strangest thing to me as well. I remember in 2012 when I was debating fiddling around w…

    Not every day a personally relevant story shows up. I've done work in that valley and with Billy. He's a special person and that valley is a special place. For many reasons. RMBL a…

    Imagine being rich enough to buy high end cars every year and worry about OTA updates. What a world.

    Understandable concern, but this kind of fervor over this kind of problem feels a lot like the zealots who tear apart Firefox and it seems to be why open source community leadershi…

    Huh. Here I thought I'd totally lost my mind because every time I open teams on my phone it takes down my cellular connection. As in I can't use teams on my phone because it instan…

    It's unnerving, especially for open source projects. The idea of open source extends beyond the license. It is as much about the community as it is the software. Discord is the wor…
