This feels like it should be a non-controversy. Even being uncharitable, a big off-by-default checkbox saying “make this discoverable in web searches” is roughly as explicit as you…

I assume that he means "rather than pushing up each individual container for a project, it could take something like a compose file over a list of underlying containers, and push t…

They have a lot of ways they could’ve built trust without a full negative burden: which of them, if any, are they doing? Open sourcing of their watch word and recording features sp…

Aspersions aside, the content’s actually typically pretty involved and has a lot to speak for itself, it’s not low-effort content that one would typically associate with AI. Laid b…

I think this optimism is extremely misplaced, as I think things are likely to get substantially less evenly distributed. It seems more likely we'll have a future where indies more …

One of the best sonic games ever made, sonic mania, wasn’t made in-house by sonic team, but a handful of fans making fanwork. Sega’s choice to treat their fanwork seriously and mak…

The author’s right about storytelling from day one, but then immediately throws cold water on the idea by saying it would have been a bad fit for this project. This feels in error,…

It shouldn’t be surprising that a country with a war economy has a higher first derivative at producing material, the question of import is 1. What is the difference between absolu…

In an era of massive scale companies and giant projects, it's fascinating how often it feels like most of the success of a project or company's big successes ultimately hinge on th…

This is non-responsive to my point. Pointing out that paid universities like Corinthian in a grossly distorted market predictably are not very competitive offerings, or that good o…

Simpler isn’t always preferable: note that the key feature from the consumer perspective in that system is > you pay no matter what Meaning if it’s assumed “despite learning little…

Nice, this problem is isomorphic to the probability/graph theory problem “hunters and rabbits” from Matousek’s discrete math textbook, except with the slight modification that inst…

>First of all, we're talking about pre-IPO startups, so you can't just sell the stock This is often but not universally true - about 40% of companies allow you to do so, and about …

The CRT requirement has pleasantly eroded recently. A kickstarter a few years back for the Sinden light gun [1] realized that by using webcams, some quick image processing and pers…

Pixar badly lost its edge by getting complacent. Somewhere after cars, 3D animation competition started breaking past pixar’s moat that no one else could make a 3D movie look quite…

Usually shortcuts are good for lock-in because besides being useful, they get you used to certain workflows. For example, excel has a useful shortcut where "CTRL + ;" inputs today'…

I would. Most modern systems of education have their roots in 1748, and either are derived from or inspired by reforms to the Prussian educational system to guarantee free and comp…
