    I think the paper cuts a bit against the "just write nicer AI stories" version of this. They tried something close to that. Positive AI fiction and also a "virtuous character" setu…

    Which benefits does EdgeDB have over Hasura which isn't built on top of PostgreSQL but as a layer that runs on top of it and exposes a GraphQL API along with access control, event …

    I would love to see the code open sourced! (it's ok if you have edge cases pending as long as they have been documented or at least mentioned in a README). Managing and running mig…

    Even though Mutt, Alpine, Sup and Notmuch might work great for some people they seem to be accessible only from a terminal, emacs, etc and very text heavy. As much as I love spendi…

    Thanks for not letting Thunderbird die. In my opinion it's still the best and most customizable opensource email client and there is just not a viable replacement. Most of the open…

    Another approach would be to have to pay the equivalent of USD 5-10 cents in some email crypto currency in order to allow an unknown sender to put their email on my inbox. If I rep…
