Doesn’t seem to work, just unclicks whatever I click.

Is the word archive used in place of achieve? I’m not sure if there is a terminology issue that I don’t understand in this post…

Yeah? I saw a homeless guy shit into the storm drain the other day. I’ll send you the picture… since it’s so culturally important

By that measure, the benches on my local sidewalks are of cultural importance. You can spew ads and shit wherever they’ll let you, doesn’t enrich the environment by default. I get …

The only people I’ve ever known who actually thought Reddit ever really mattered was people in the HN sphere. Anecdata, but still. In terms of value per minute spent, it’s the same…

Complete assclown behavior throughout. It would be one thing if this had been going for for a month or two, maybe a quarter or two… but ten years?! They’re clearly fucking you over…

I would argue that’s a driver to my point. How many people are never going to visit the source website when Llama can give me a detailed summary of what I need in a few hundred mil…

Most people visit the same half dozen websites over and over anyways. Websites are eventually going to be an artifact of an old medium as we move to like cybernetics and AR glasses…

All posts not fellating Rust are eventually flagged here. It’s not really a neutral venue for more academic conversations about PLT.

I mostly discuss politics. I’ve talked about some technology stuff on there too, but it’s easily 95% politics.

Bluesky is riddled with pornography, even with the strictest settings enabled. I genuinely don’t feel comfortable scrolling any of the curated feeds in a public place except for my…

Realistically? Taxes and tax enforcement. That’s really the only consistent and persistent way to change the incentives of the world’s economies. In most developed economies, the u…

Remember: every comment on here is implicitly directed to dang, and every link is implicitly approved of by dang. This is really his website at this point. The rules are mainly jus…

In as few words as possible, JIRA, Agile, shareholders. Most programmers don’t really seem to understand that programming isn’t really their job. It’s an illusion. Their job is to …

Hard to get more perverse than “kids should have access to sexually explicit material at all times in any medium. If that sounds fucked up when I say it like that, consider what as…

Insightful!

No, just a daily brief from section leaders. I’m sure there’s slack plugins for what you’re suggesting, though. Not sure how useful it’d be since most big ticket items would be in …

Further proof to me that slack + a daily digest for each department is the perfect medium for professional communications inside technical organization.

Well if you’d bother to read it, you’d discover this is about tail calls in C, not in Python. It has nothing to do with tail recursion in Python. Guido has explicitly said that Pyt…

I mean, I see where you’re coming from. In a direct democracy system like HN or Reddit, this is indeed a problem. I was approaching the topic with a smidge of nuance and perhaps th…

For what it’s worth it wasn’t me that flagged your reply. All I’m saying is that politics is as intertwined with technology news as much as economics or religion or pop culture or …
