I agree, but want to add that while we may perceive other creative works as 'finished' (to an extent), code often is not. It unfortunately, needs perpetual work.

That’s actually a really good point! I wonder if one day there will be analogues for music and writing?

I suppose you have gumroad / serialized novels or webcomics but I’m not sure if there’s any albums where the musician is putting out one song at a time

For good reasons or for drama reasons? I read the blurb about the fork and can’t tell why exactly if Grant is continuing to maintain the original.
Jorge1o1 · 4 months ago
Well, to me it seems like he just shared the original so that others could benefit from the work he had already done, but that since his main priority is to continue making new videos, he may not have the time resources to:

- Avoid breaking changes

- Keep APIs stable

- Test and document everything, etc.

I personally think there's nothing wrong with that. We wouldn't say that a musician is *obligated* to put out a second album or a remaster. We wouldn't say that an author *must* make a sequel to their popular book. But when it comes to code sometimes we feel like the original author has an obligation to keep working on it just because it would convenience us.

I think one of the biggest problems in the United States is the misallocation of ambitious people. The highly educated and ambitious people see finance, government, tech, and corporate executive tracks, as the way to convert their energies into social status.

Even startups these days seem to be a case of too many chiefs, not enough Indians.

Pardon my ignorance, but how does lox relate to Pisces? I don't get the connection with cancer either, but the first thing that comes to mind on hearing Lox is liquid oxygen as it is used in rockets. So it's a connection between Rust language and astrodynamics. Is there something that makes Pisces more appropriate for this?
Jorge1o1 · 10 months ago
Sibling comment mentioned the connection between lox and Pisces, but the connection to Cancer is that the mascot for Rust is a crab.

I think it’s health related, as the article mentions.

>One executive in the entertainment industry said younger people were less inclined to go out raving until 6am as they were more health conscious and less frivolous with money than previous generations

This is the same generation that has 12 step skincare routines, eats only organic food, chooses to vape or zyn rather than smoke because of secondhand smoke, everyone has an Apple watch on their wrist tracking calories, etc.

If anything I’m surprised that binge drinking and going out late as survived as long as it has.

And as far as the money comment, this generation is not less frivolous there’s just less money to go around haha.

can you give examples of how statistics violates common sense?
Jorge1o1 · a year ago
A classic example would be that if you have a test (say for cancer) with a false positive rate of “””only””” 5%, and your disease has an incidence of say 1 in 1000.

Let’s say that you get a positive diagnosis for the disease, and you ask someone the question:

What is the probability you actually have the disease?

Most people will say 95% or 99%, but your actual probability of having the disease in this example is <2%

Do you have a thought on how to do the edit page without JS? I am with you I wanted to make it no js, then added a little here and there. I couldn't think of a way to allow someone to add unlimited links in a way that was clean and fast without JS. I guess I could detect if you're not allowing JS and then have an input field so you can select how many you want to have and then pass that as a GET variable.

It's added to the roadmap to investigate more.

Jorge1o1 · a year ago
Well, theoretically you could make your current "Add Link" button and your current "Remove" button just trigger a server-side request and then refresh the page.

maybe some combination of the <noscript> tag and then if so wrapping the buttons in <form> and making the buttons submit those forms?
