I don't know how many people are aware but https://devdocs.io/ has been a life-changer, runs locally as PWA and caches all the docs you need to use, instant search across all int…

I don't understand when people complain about Yet Another Framework. There isn't a single solution to everything. When there are plenty of unknowns and you're working solo, you need a v…

Maybe the previous universe's black hole evaporation ripples cause enough chaos effect for the new universe to be different so even though the whole system is deterministic, it could always be di…

If neurons are transform functions that simultaneously act as storage and action mechanisms for those transform domains, in a manner vaguely similar to FFT and IFFT, then the Internet as a whole would…

The body is basically zillions of electrodes wired to the brain. If we discover the patterns we could -in principle- induce them through vision, hearing or skin pulses. Binaural beats (aka "compu…

In a typical web app you probably wouldn't notice any difference but in the niche where you're handling millions of reqs/s even slight improvements there could possibly translate to a n…

> I have never heard of a bank simply taking money from someone’s account. If a bank did something like that, they would be hauled into court in no time and lose their license. Technically it’s pos…

I would say this its biggest advantage. It doesn't have to be a controversial or fraudulent transaction. Regular digital money ownership and exchange, especially across countries, is severely pol…

This is a perfect demonstration on how subjectively we interpret text. Our minds fill in the blanks, we read what we want to read as long as the text is above some certain threshold of coherence, that…

We don't run on logic, trust me. I've spent the week writing a text editor. I can trash logic completely. If you want to know, all absolutely logical pieces of first-pass code failed terribl…

"Think for yourself" is humanity's adaptation of forager ants[0]. Sure, many will be lost, but we need those people that hunt for novelty because it eventually benefits everyone else. Y…

I wonder if/how AI personal agents would be able to help in this regard, trained to spot when attention is being manipulated in a certain way and inform you of that. Like the sunk cost fallacy, w…

Gambling isn't a noble skill game. It's about winning and it involves cheating if you have the chance and if the way online systems are setup allow for this, it's their problem. They ar…

Browsers should just bundle all the advanced but privacy concerning APIs into a single App permissions dialog that you get on the domain you visit and that's it. That should include everything JS…

There is no particular reason, that part is certainly cultural. There aren't even seven, they are twelve equal slices, called semitones. There are infinite slices an octave can be divided into, w…

This is nice! I like the graphs and the general feeling, and the utility is important as well. One minor UX tweak: remove the tile description text ellipsis and nowrap and just let it flow and wrap. M…

And I'm also gaslighting you both, it shows me my habit. It's amazing.

Yes it is! And that's what makes it art. The judgements you are both making are valid but then you'll see that they are also ridiculous because you can still have fun with it even though it …

You are missing the opportunity. When you are not used to alternate models and when something like this doesn't fit any of your current ones, it is frustrating - but at the same time it forces yo…
