This is fine, basically geocities. But you may have a hard time introducing the term "agentic" at a time when AI "agents" are on the rise.

Honestly, there's nothing better than the Cracking the Cryptic app for sudoku, called "Sven's Sudoku Pad." People who love sudoku have congregated around that channel. It's updated…

Chat is not asynchronous communication. It's not the best synchronous communication, sure, but it's certainly not asynchronous. Dropping typing indicators isn't necessarily going t…

> It’s costly to have government employees because you have to pay benefits and they are unionized. Sometimes people say the quiet parts out loud.

Driving to work is not a choice for a lot of people particularly lower class. Our cities our built around cars. As people move out of the city to save money, that makes driving eve…

You're making some assumptions. Why can't programmers be workers in the coop and be part of the equation? Why can't forms of capital available to other startups be available to coo…

I can't believe these questionnaires have become so pervasive that it's spawning an industry. I hate these things. They are such a burden on the small, niche software vendor.

> Economic growth matters because most people want their lives to improve every year. Improve how? Should I need economic growth to get better health care? This whole techno-utopia…

I'm very skeptical of this. It doesn't seem like something that could scale. By accessing database files through PHP, you are begging for race conditions while serving multiple req…

I went into this article with so much skepticism, but yeah, the author addresses all of my concerns. This is a cool project and now I get why you'd do it this way.

Is the GPL not just as teenager-like with its radical openness? Wanting to maintain your values through a software license feels passive and sneaky and awkward, but that's how we d…

In most co-ops, the term "owner" has explicit meaning that is usually very clearly laid out in the bylaws of the organization. The Three Rivers Co-op (a consumer co-op) publishes t…

I don't know if there is a platform co-op specifically for ride-sharing yet, but it's not out of the question. https://www.yesmagazine.org/economy/2018/01/04/the-platform-... The p…

This is not a good idea. 1. Components are sort of antithetical to the Tailwind CSS ethos of atomic styling. Of course, examples of markup and class arrangements are certainly help…

Wireguard still has this warning on their site: > WireGuard is currently working toward a stable 1.0 release. Current snapshots are generally versioned "0.0.YYYYMMDD" or "0.0.V", b…

And then it all falls apart when Plaid gets hacked and millions of people's _actual bank account usernames and password_ get stolen. That is not a safe premise to start a business …

There are more reasons to control speed than safety. As the article mentions, Nixon lowered speeds to reduce fuel consumption in the US. Considering the climate crisis, I think tha…

How is there no mention of the strength of organized labor during that period in the article or any of these comments? That was a big part of what motivated Ford to appease the wor…

Who does it hurt? Everyone. I think it hurts everyone when we allow bigger companies (or a powerful few) to steer the education system. That should be left up to a democratic proce…

The only bubble I see are of programmers who work at Google and Facebook thinking most programmers have lives like theirs and make as much as they do. Most surveys of programmer sa…

I think calling something "css-only" and having it break because you didn't add a radio input element in the markup is a little misleading. The dynamic functionality hinges on the …
