I got my account banned on Tweeter for literally doing nothing. I mainly had it because Twitter requires you to have an account in order to read tweets and occasionally I needed to…

>As you might imagine, dating can be a quagmire of liabilities and bear traps. I did not imagine that at all. In fact, I, like I imagine many other young men, thought that becoming…

Oh man this is all really hurting my brain. I wish I had a good response to this. I wish I had a magical simple response and a way to resolve this problem. On one end, I stop by cu…

God yes. I got dragged into the uv when I started using copyparty and I am a fanatical admirer ever since. I also use pipx to install tools often. I really don't understand why you…

I used drugs recreationally. I don't like to talk about it. I especially don't like to talk about it online on a profile that's very heavily linked to my identity. Over many years …

Only Python, TypeScript and JavaScript? Well there go my vibe-coded elisp scripts. I guess it's impossible (or really hard) to train a language-agnostic classifier. Reference, from…

Even if you do everything perfectly there's always a chance one of Microsoft engineers made a mistake somewhere and somebody found it and is now sitting on a zero day. And now with…

Yeah, I mean seriously. I'm sure most fashion designers can sew, and I'm sure most industrial designers know basics of electronic boards. The hardest part about web-design isn't ev…

I just work on things that are interesting and tolerate things that are not interesting to work on things that are interesting. Makes sense? :)

Do they help?

Failure is necessary. We all explore new territories by testing boundaries (is this fire safe to touch?). Failure is just a way of finding out boundaries. We do not have enough sen…

The whole war on drugs thing is a hysteria created by certain aspects of drug-use being artificially blown out of the proportion. Many of the risks associated with drug use (like o…

"Plateaus" implies a two-dimensional outlook on life, which is not even how life works. Life isn't even four dimensional. It has many, many dimensions that grow and die out. You ca…

I like the brochure thing. I think it takes into account the human nature of the users and their feelings. It's design that lets us feel connection with the program. I much rather …

If I was Paul and read this, I would never talk to you again.

Actually, yes. The research in neuroaesthetics has shown some interesting results that point out humans' natural preference towards straight, rather than oblique lines: http://www.…
