His presentation was seriously awesome! Thanks a lot.

If I am the product, I demand it be there forever!

Saw that this has been put in the comments as well of this submission - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19852105 …

You could say the same thing about Apple as a dev environment, isn't it? Most of the devs I see working on Apple systems are primarily using the terminal. And this is back from the ruby dev days.…

You're kidding, right? Do you have any idea of the Windows userbase?

In this case, I think the context was different. I think he was talking about competition to petroleum

I think if it was set like that many more programmers would be asking the reverse question - 'Why is it 16 bytes?' and it would be a Stackoverflow wiki question! Maybe this is not the underl…

> Many people are perfectly happy with someone else making decisions for them, as long as they trust that other person. Isn't that why we vote?

Absolutely! It's still one of my favourite technical books. I read it when I started looking at RDBMS after having worked in NoSQL and I clearly recall how excited I was to learn that there is a …

Totally agree. Multiple frameworks have done this for many years, but nobody will listen as everyone is interested in the next new, shiny thing. I do like Svelte in its latest incarnation though, espe…

The last paragraph of the article - In the end, why did anybody care? Was it just a pleasing respite from gruelling news? Like so much of our lives with technology, the episode could be read as a reas…

Thanks for that! I got a real fright!

This article was really fascinating!! How having a different temporal perception would make our world different. From the article - The manakins are a family of birds best known for elaborate, ricoche…

This is really amazing! I wonder how many other things in our world are there right in front of our eyes but we can't see them because of our mental blocks.

I had heard of this as a factoid about 30 years ago. Although I didn't know about Libet's experiments. From the Wikipedia article - That is to say, researchers recorded mounting brain activi…

Thanks for that. It brought back some memories! One point though, looking back at both those phases of my life, I noticed that I became aware of my snobbery only after I could afford everything, not w…

Thank you. Fantastic TLDR - that smart people will invent, nasty people will ruin, smart people will be ruined and the state will intervene and grow in remit.

Yes, I to remembered this. The article has eschewed the blockchain references this time. Also, this time in my opinion, the comments seem more intelligent and engaging.

What does that have to do with anything?

I really, really miss the keyboard and overall flexibility that Opera 12 provided, back in the day. With that and being able to manage a crazy amount of tags beyond giving advanced tab management was …

That's very interesting. I never looked at it that way. Can you elaborate on how schools are better suited for girls?

Thank you for putting that so clearly and succinctly. Somehow, I always felt uncomfortable reading Joel's article because I had never seen spaghetti code on large code bases. I now realize that i…

If this was just for demonstration, they could have done it with just a couple of microservices. Why get the full web stack in the picture?
