I sure wish I could tell if this is a joke or not.

I'm curious how big of a factor a consistent core team is to having long-term sustainable and stable software. When companies have people rotating on projects constantly and the or…

I've tried to retrain myself to open Obsidian (and have Obsidian configured to always jump straight to my daily note upon opening) if I compulsively pick up my phone. From there, I…

Not to mention it prevents people trying to legitimately access these services from doing so by putting extra barriers in place, defeating the purpose of the assistance program in …

Perhaps there is something to be gained by being forced to slow down anyways. Speed for the sake of speed isn't always the highest priority. Certainly there are contexts where "kee…

Ad Hoc employee here -- this is spot on.

Well said!

I'm with you here -- constraints like that can definitely be useful! The constraint of slowing down to write by hand is also useful for me in this context.

Most of my thoughts are vague, no judgement ;) You're touching on a reason I like paper too -- in a digital format, I end up thinking too much about how I'm going to organize the i…

Definitely agree -- paper is something that should compliment your overall system, it's pretty hard to get by with paper alone these days. If my goal is to focus in on what I'm thi…

Ah thanks for the catch! I also just switched over to a new SSG for my site, must have missed this :)

> The article does not explain what the value of pen and paper has over a digital note pad. It just declares it has one. The advantage is being clear from potential distractions. A…

This! There's also plenty of research backing up the idea that writing with a pen commits the information to memory more effectively than typing. It makes sense if you consider the…

> It is very easy to have a "apps and services"-free experience: just kill notifications. Why would the paper make a difference? It's not like your "attention-clawing" misconfigure…

Accountability! It can be scary, but it's also important and a driver for positive change. I deal with all of these things as well, but have pretty much decided to not go the anony…

> I am constantly worried by the history of how many things we historically applied historical-purposeful reasoning to, totally confident at the time that our explanations made sen…

I think the larger complaint about electron is the memory usage, not disk space usage. Go may have large binaries, but they run fast and efficient.

It seems like the idea of a universal basic income would achieve much of the same long term goals, while not getting things tied up in the complications of treating the US like a b…

I've seen a couple comments on emotional well-being and kindness, and I couldn't agree more. Life is about people, and when we optimize for our relationships, life is better for ev…

I think there is still a lingering mentality that you don't have to be an expert with JS to do front end work, and that's just not the case anymore.

Couldn't have said it better myself. There is nothing to be gained from elitist attitudes. Sounds to me like they want to hoard their own job security. On top of all that, the "eve…

"Expressiveness" seems like a subjective measurement to me. Also, from what I've gathered, Go attempts to be more convention oriented and is centered around doing things the "one t…
