There were a lot of aspects of this talk that I thought were really great. The willingness to try something unscripted, diving into the code repo live (e.g. to show where fuzzing i…

The copy on the homepage is very dramatic and reads as if Bandcamp has already turned against all its artists. It's been over a year since the second sale if I am calculating the d…

Not endorsing the view, but that's how some people think. It would actually be incredibly interesting if he decided to commit political suicide by having Trump killed and spurring …

Can't help but wondering if Joe is contemplating Seal Team Six's summer plans right about now.

The median employee also isn't the guy who's going to make a killing by being an instrumental early employee at startup. It's apples and oranges. I'd argue that the person who is v…

> I don't get the hand-wringing when it comes to reasonably priced services. For me, it has nothing to do with the price and everything to do with the fact that I don't want a serv…

You're getting a lot of glib answers, but in all seriousness, this is one of the amazing things about tom7 videos. It sometimes starts by appearing to be about nonsense or triviali…

Call me crazy, but it's almost as if these should be guidelines considered by a thinking person, with experience to help inform them, rather than hard-and-fast rules that must be a…

> Why wall of death? I think that's just what the cylindrical room is often called when it's used for motorcycles. The paper repeatedly references it, abbreviated "WoD." I don't th…

Yes, exactly.

Fun fact, the quartz is used to make the big crucibles where the silicon wafers crystallize by starting from a seed in the center which is slowly drawn upward. My grandmother was a…

> not only infinite ones I don't think this really has much to do with the "infinite" nature of the canvas. Individual instances of infinite canvases have a finite size. :)

My very first thought about this format was that someone is definitely going to pervert it to be used as a graphics format, and for that it's woefully inadequate. I decided to hold…

Suggestion: add some metadata at the top level, including a bounding box that includes all nodes so that you can encapsulate a canvas and include it within another context before h…

You mean just for fun? I'm having a hard time imagining real value in doing something like karma-farming on HN. Not to mention, that would be more like anti-karma-farming.

Nope, it "just worked." I ended up vastly preferring a mouse, though, so I didn't stick with it long term.

> There is no way I'm going to suffer the ergonomic hell that is a laptop for a second longer than I absolutely have to I agree with this, but intentionally choosing a trackpad to …

I've connected an Apple Magic Trackpad (external bluetooth trackpad that sits on your desk) to an ubuntu machine and it's wonderful. There are still some software things to solve t…

This is a fascinating comment to me. I understand not really feeling jazz, but it doesn't even sound like a song to you? My only suggestion is to jump into the middle of a few song…

I think there are several other tracks on the album tied for this same distinction. :)

> they had to make sure their site layout worked on WebTV They weren't big enough to benefit from the fact that one of the components of WebTV's architecture was an entire "page pa…

Andy Rubin was also a very early WebTVer; probably one of the first two or three employees, and was there through the Microsoft acquisition.

The other two I checked were *.wordpress.com and *.bandcamp.com, both well known TLDs with user-generated subdomains. Neither is there.

How current is this? It doesn't actually have *.blogger.com in it, nor the other two examples I checked.

It's usually a little of both. Sometimes it's a little messy but before you get full understanding, it appears a lot messier. But having the experience of coming across code that I…
