I've been rebuilding my federated social media protocol, Jonline ( https://github.com/JonLatane/jonline ) for a while. Agents have really changed the game for what I can do with pl…

I’ve been working on an Elm rewrite of the React FE of my federated social media service, Jonline ( https://github.com/JonLatane/jonline ). It’s up at https://jonline.io (and https…

I agree with you about “thoroughness” being key here, but I’d additionally advocate that we need to leave room for people to make some slop learn it. Part of the learning process, …

I don’t like being disagreeable, but just no. On both of these. First, the comparison is perfectly fair. Elm 0.19.1, 6 years ago/0.19.2 today, React 16.1 6 years ago/19.2 today. Li…

I’ve been using Elm professionally at a very profitable, lean company the last two years. (Didn’t know it coming in, but had enough React, Redux, and other experience to learn quic…

I think “when you buy a product, be it a game, a house, a car, a computer, a tractor, washer, TV, it should continue to operate without rent-seeking behavior” is the best type of s…

Part of me hopes that without React (poorly) filling the void, something like Elm could have gained traction. But ultimately I think it’s unlikely.

I’m rather optimistic about the future of smaller open-source models and market competition actually doing its job here, honestly. I myself, again, err on the side of doing things …

We’re in a world where LLMs are basically going to be extensions of how we think. An additional thing we use to do a lot of thinking tasks. As a piano player, it’s important to wor…

What are “vs code hooks” exactly? A search for that or “VSCode Hooks” isn’t turning up anything for me in Kagi or Google…

I'd hope most functional adults understand that the Fields Medal and basically every other annual "prize" out there is awarded to both "recombinant" innovations and "new-dimensiona…

The “cars stopping in random places everywhere in any remotely urban area” thing has become a huge problem in general. It’s probably our clearest sign of the fundamental scalabilit…

We’ve had a looming crisis for decades of young people increasingly not understanding a lot of the fundamentals of mathematical logic. And I think treating LLMs (which are amazing …

It’s knowing when to do less. Both in design and speaking style, only adding complexity as an option of last resort

I’d say both local data structures and algorithms atop them, and external services like DBs, etc., are both just “resources” in a more abstract sense. Optimizing performance is a m…

Kagi Translate is fantastic. Multilingual support is honestly one of the best things about LLMs, imo.

I’ve only taken two buses in Brazil (Goiânia to Pirenópolis and back), and can definitely report that this was not the case there. It was incredibly hot and dry there until you hit…

There’s an entire Linux distro (Asahi) for MacBooks. Apple has never released a Mac with a locked bootloader. And macOS frankly provides a far better Unix experience than ChromeOS,…

This is what I built Jonline for. Haven’t maintained it for a while, but it’s quite functional as-is. Basically a very vanilla Twitter/Reddit-with-first-class-calendar-events, stan…

We definitely don’t have any hard boundaries baked into this tech preventing big tech from (ab)using our data this way. But are there specific companies you think are doing this? I…

I built Jonline for this purpose. If you’d be interested in deploying it, I’d love to help. https://github.com/JonLatane/jonline

I guess the flipside of this is, do we want poor/homeless people from groups our society dubs “overrepresented” to only be able to find help from organizations that specifically se…

I might argue the opposite. What would that have added to this release?

Neat! Missed opportunity to name it “SQLer” (squealer) though.
