Hey y’all! About 7 years ago, I had this idea to write a JIT with an autogenerated backend for x86 based on the ISA specs. I sketched something out and then just kinda let it sit. …

As a data point: I can honestly say I’ve never heard of Gamergate before this comment, and I am a 31-year-old white male. I did read a book on Watergate when I was in my teens, tho…

I think the downvotes are coming in because you are carrying out a fundamentally different argument. The article argues that people used to be more intellecutally capable when they…

I recommend visiting the Ecomuseo in Palermo [1] if you ever have the chance. They examine, among other things, the lasting impact of the subpar building of now mostly crumbling st…

2 per week, i.e. roughly 100.

You might want to check out the sibling thread.

It might be a little glib, but that’s the main incentive I see here, especially since they’re exclusively using their own system, Github Sponsors, to direct the money. It makes sen…

It seems like you are pretty angry at me trying to get the notion across that this is good, but they could do better. That’s okay, I can deal with that. But I want to make one thin…

I make about €120,000/year.

I donate about $2,000/year to projects personally, not counting my time, and work for an OSS company. Is that enough to be allowed to have an opinion?

> Is there even one $10M ARR business that has donated $500K even one time? I don’t have exact figures for most of these companies, of course, but I have seen many small consulting…

Fair enough, but should $500k coming from a $10M ARR business be received with the same applause as $500k coming from a >$1B ARR business? Both are valid opinions, I think, but per…

Hyperbole is a dangerous rhetorical figure, but I had hoped that I was clear enough so as not to be taken literally but, well, rhetorically.

I think companies or individuals contributing money to projects they rely on is great, and I personally do it and incentivize OSS development in my own consulting practice (through…

I’m of two minds about this: - On the one hand, for GitHub, 500k is nothing, just a PR move. For maintainers, $500 might make the difference between struggling to pay rent and havi…

I wasn’t particularly interested in entering the discussion (mainly providing the link and an explanation), but I used the word "feudal" because Yarvin himself used it, in the name…

I presume the author is referring to this blogpost[1]. The proposed name of the system is actually "Feudle", which might have made it harder to find for you. The word "woke" did in…

Thanks for suggesting him! I was unaware of his talks, and instantly fell in love! The first talk just made the list, and I’m planning on looking through more of his talks in the c…

Sadly not! It’s also worth pointing out that not all of the talks are hosted on YouTube. Maybe `youtube-dl` can help you anyway, though!

Super interesting work, thanks! At one point I just stopped adding people to the list, but I guess that doesn’t make much sense. Gary Bernhardt and more than just a few other peopl…

They’re some of my favorites (the Hammond organ one is just hilarious)! Sometimes it’s just hard to categorize things, and things end up in a low-visibility section like Miscellane…

Original curator here. I don’t have experience with either TypeScript or C#, so I rely on other people pointing me at great talks in this space! I do have a slight skew towards fun…
