Considering the size and scale of Github, do you feel like it's become closer to an infrastructural public good rather than a privately owned product? The amount of impact I've see…

I was big into the WC3 custom maps community back in the day, the idea that you could make money doing any of this was silly. The point when I was growing up was two things: 1. Mak…

People won't care until they do. After two years of talking up mastodon/pixelfed and most folks ignoring me, I've gotten 2 pings from family members about signing up and migrating …

I don't see a lot of comments about how China is tackling this. While the US is spending all it's time/investments developing AI, China is investing heavily in robotics. They seem …

I can't wait for cheap RAM and SSDs to flood the market...

I've fallen into this problem before, but theres an additional trap you should be aware of: You are not a therapist. You cannot and should not just "listen" to problems that you're…

It bothers me that we're comparing logical languages versus compositional, and I think it's based on a clear misunderstanding of what CSS is supposed to do versus something like C+…

My family have bought macs and been apple fanboys since the "Pizzabox" 6100 PowerPC. My dad handed me down a DuoDock when I was in middle school. We bought a G4 Cube, I had an iBoo…

I wouldn't be surprised for certain kinds of secret sharing. Storage is cheap and sneaker-nets are easy. I'm sure someone is figuring out a network solution where 2 computers both …

That is, unless we balkanize our systems and services.

You're not describing conservatism, you're describing anarchism.

> Buy it from whom? ... now you have to buy that land from the original owner, who is obligated to hold on to it even though he may want to use his capital for something else. Ther…

Is it inhumane or just inconvenient? I think we should have all sorts of housing including this sort, and people should be able to select their experience and cost (above a humane …

Right, which is part of the reason bad zoning laws are the cause of the current rent affordability crisis, they should also be changed.

I really want to see more dorm style apartments available in NYC, see: https://www.evergreen.edu/sites/default/files/styles/large/p... Even more tenement type layouts would be spec…

Cowardly, weak, and pathetic are the only attributes you can use to describe this behavior. I'm not saying this in order to "get a rise" or "inflame" a discussion here, but how can…

I'm enjoying this holier-than-thou attitude that seems to pervade a lot of comments, as though following the "rules" is all we need to do and is morally justifiable. These "rules" …

Are you asking what we should do about this situation? Split up any and all monopolies, and nationalize what should provide a common good such as payment networks and internet infr…

Yeah! Get your head out of the gutter grafmax! Starving an entire population is totally if not morally equivalent to feeling nominally threatened.

I've used both, and while I think Vega has it's uses, it's not nearly as web developer friendly. Frontend engineers want a clear delineation between logic, composition and styling.…

I'm a big believer that the reason for the level of government bureaucracy and busywork described in this article is not a bug, it's a feature. Government's job within a capitalist…

I'd like to believe it was an inspection van: https://nationalplant.com/services/digital-tv-inspection/ I'd like to believe that, but I don't.
