    I'm replying to myself because re-reading this comment is sounds a little callus. While I am implying that we can't say for sure what fair looks like given human variation, we also…

    I find shorter lines difficult to read, they require so much more eye movement than longer lines. When a site will let me I prefer the whole length of my monitor as the line length…

    Studies done with adopted children appear to show that slightly less than 50% of intelligence is heritable[1]. That means that a good deal of it isn't, but to say practically undet…

    It seems you do need to log in, but just unchecking 'responsive' makes everything load a lot faster and become a lot more usable.

    I'm glad I don't believe in that proverb or I'd be much more guarded against out groups.

    Why would exclusive spots for top tier talent in an industry not include a genetic component when exclusive spots for top tier talent in a sport clearly does?

    You can even turn off responsive design in the settings. I should have checked earlier.

    I took some quick measurements. The previous version leaves 2% of my browser window as whitespace containing no images or text. By comparison, the new version is 53% whitespace. Th…

    Why is everyone moving to so much white space? I wish there was more of an emphasis on information density on the modern web.

    I’m highly skeptical of Passkeys/Webauthn as it would seem to not have the same legal protections that a password has in the US. Maybe this is me becoming a conspiracy theorist.

    I hate that videos appear in my feed long before they are available. I don't want to load a video only to discover it's coming in 48 hours. Just add the video to my feed 48 hours l…

    Anything that reduces societal trust raises prices. Security guards and anti-theft systems have costs.

    After harassment I ensure my username isn't traceable back to me anywhere. No references to a username used anywhere else and no information that is related to me.

    I don't beleive people assume a closed and fair system, but instead find the fairness of the system irrelevant.

    I have worked at places that have micro-repos, places that have polyrepos, and places that have monorepos. From my observation monorepos are a sign of ossification and resistantce …

    A lot of technology is used to surveil and oppress us. It is nice to see a story that shows technology can also liberate.

    Sadly I never got repairs done because the wait was longer than I could afford to wait. I ended up having to replace the laptops with different laptops.

    I believe we would be better off as a society if we either decided it was ok, or not ok and not situational. In a perfect world we'd just all decide to be better people and not rac…

    We should have all of those, but right now we have those asymmetrically depending on your cause.
