Political discussions for me are like programming. I enjoy them because I like finding bugs in people's logic like I do in programming. I find a lot of people's political arguments…

> to realize fundamentally different visions of the world, based on fundamentally different values I think your use of the word "world" is telling. Trump, the Republicans, and the …

The library tree view is so terrible. - You cannot shift+click select to easily add playlists into a folder. - Any podcasts you follow cannot be moved into folders to tidy things u…

Thanks! Lisp is so damn cool.

So are these "specials" being parsed by a grammar? Would be interesting to see how the interpreter works actually... I would guess it checks what `defun` is, which is a macro...the…

CLOS looks really interesting. So many good ideas. A lot that I have been thinking about for a while. https://lispcookbook.github.io/cl-cookbook/clos.html : > arguably one of the m…

I thought Lisp was suppose to be simple in that: it's all just lists. I thought everything would just be s-expressions, and be consistent, so it would be easy to read to figure out…

There's always gonna be space when you jack into Zuck's metaverse.

I find it really useful to learn about programming by discussing code examples. There is a ton of code out there, and also blog posts, but I find it especially motivating if there …

It feels like a technology that didn't have such a resource-intensive tech-tree leading up to its discovery, so someone could have just discovered Transformers and Attention back t…

When people talk about us living in a simulation...you have to wonder if they have ever tried to simulate real liquids (e.g. computation fluid dynamics). Computer graphics in films…

This furthers my point. They even got an exclusive and still run Trump stuff.

I love how the nytimes front page is just all Trump and political crap. Literally not a word about this, and if it's real, its like the biggest thing ever.

There are so many naysayers out there, but you have to admire the amount of free publicity he has generated.

> guessing your current state & figuring out the next one I look at React from a Backbone lens. In Backbone, you had view with a model that managed a dom element tree. You could re…

I was just thinking the other day how everything Meta has put out on the frontend, I felt compelled to use it because of the hype. But I've ended up being frustrated by almost all …

It's amazing we don't have good personal content filtering yet. I would pay so much for an all-encompassing blocker. There is so much content I would block if I actually could. Com…

In my experience, the experts love to get their hands dirty and make things. Devs are gatekeeping way too much. More no-code/low-code is the way forward. It's always just a balance…

Technical founders usually have deep conviction behind an idea and need to build the proof-of-concept themselves. It feels like it's kind of assumed a founder would be a CTO/manage…

Is there some kind of app/website that lays out all these kind of risks you face in life?

> they feel zero pressure But then it's a question of whether they have the motivation to complete the projects they want to. It's really easy not to ship things, and never know wh…

> Most of the time it's anxiety. My first thought was: you're crazy. But then I thought deeper and as an adult I realized that there is a cost/benefit to everything that somewhat d…

> It also helped us avoid rabbit-holes. I think this is a big 1. There are so many in modern coding.

Especially in computer programming, I find that you really can take as much time as is given. You often can see people spending weeks on something that could be done in under an ho…
