    > Letting the model run feels like giving up control, while inventing a workflow feels like the responsible move, even when it produces worse work in more time. It feels to me like…

    The US has the highest per-capita rate of imprisonment I think we’re plenty “hard on crime”. What we lack is a principled stance that Americans deserve basic dignity and access to …

    The number of blogs posted on here by people who can’t be arsed to make their writing legible on mobile blows my mind. Did everybody just skip the section of their CSS journey that…

    I think it was more about doing it without a Boolean-based branch construct like a ternary or switch or whatever flavor of thing that abstracts away the explicit checks for true/fa…

    “what it does” describes the actions taken - cancer wards work to treat cancer (which is their purpose). Outcomes of what they do isn’t relevant to the point. The purpose of most s…

    At that point “human” really only meant the white man who owns property though eh?

    Strudel can use custom samples in addition to the built in synths and samples. The language is really expressive. I’ve not gone too far into playing with it but from what I’ve seen…

    I was goofing around with TidalCycles and really wanted to use it for the Haskell syntax but Strudel’s interface is so slick I suffer the JS syntax. Thanks for mentioning superdoug…

    The only people who matter are shareholders. Employees are a means to the end of making money for the owners of the company whether through stocks or other kinds of ownership.

    What’s wrong with this from your perspective? IMO it’s too little too late and should have been a federal law years ago. Don’t get me wrong - Newsom is a slippery snake politician …

    I’d guess that it’s because React came around and it was from Facebook so it got a lot of adoption? Maybe there’s some other reason, the comment you responded to seems to imply som…
