Cool as an experiment. Real world use seems limited. Much cheaper to hire an administrative assistant to clean up after each meeting, since the tabletop also needs tidying.

One person can do something, but one person can’t do everything. If you are already running a farm co-op, leading a union, or so on, you simply don’t have the time to address the hundred other things you can see in the news in a single day. The point still stands, you can’t control everything, so even if you are making change on one or two points, you have to avoid being angry about the hundred other things you cannot.

Some day Cloudflare will enter their enshittifcation phase and a lot of small websites will die off rather than move off it. It’s best for sites to not all be behind the same few companies.

Great reads! Thanks for posting.

I think it would be neat if, as something gained popularity, more and more of it were re-written in optimized assembly. I mainly work in .NET, which performs fine for what it is, but there are some libraries like Dapper (which is a micro-ORM) which are written in IL, which is incredibly difficult to do but results in it being insanely fast compared to what you could do in purely managed .NET. I’m sure if it were written in assembly it would be an order of magnitude faster than that.

I’ve learned recently on social media that the truth behind every headline/post is the most boring version of it, or to put it another way, every headline/post is written in the most explosive language possible to describe what actually happened. The vast majority of people never go further than the headline and take it face value, then post reactionary hatred hot takes.

It really bums me out. Makes it hard to enjoy the internet when everything is about riling people up, and people being riled up at the wrong thing.

They’re insanely cheap RIGHT NOW. lol

You can get a used 2018-2020 Tesla (or any other brand) for $25k and then $4k back through a tax credit.

It has some good points. I went through all 99 slides and thought it was rather interesting. Btw, there were no ads in the slides, which was good, because I would have left immediately.

Main focus is just how badly Reddit hurt their mobile web experience to constantly nag you to use their shitty app.

That could be avoided by using on prem properly, too. People are very capable of making bad infrastructure whether on prem or cloud.
