Nice, my experience writing production code in large codebase here, granted it's evolved a lot since: https://philippcannons.com/100x-ai-coding-for-real-work-summ...

Not surprisingly, building really fast is not the silver bullet you'd think it is. It's all about what to build and how to distribute it. Otherwise bigcos/billionaires would have armies of engineers growing their net worth to epic scales.

Regarding billionaires having armies of engineers growing their wealth to massive scale: is that not what they have?

How the hell is Nepal more peaceful than China or Bolivia? Last week the country has had extremely violent protests, with widespread vandalism and arson leading to inadvertent murder of political leaders, as well as many prison breakouts.

The police also killed 19 people but your comment doesn’t mention that.

In addition the military has not taken over, but currently seems to be honoring the demand of the protestors for new leadership and addressing the widespread corruption in the nation.

It’s too early to call, to be sure. But I’m hopeful that there can be a peaceful transition from here towards something better for Nepal.

c54 commented on The Obsolescence of Political Definitions (1991)   vmchale.com/static/serve/... · Posted by u/vmchale

This reads to me as a somewhat quaint snapshot of politics from 30 years ago.

What the author is getting at is the overlapping of the bundles of individual policy stances that we give the label of a single ideology, the folding of the left-right political axis through higher dimensional space. People who agree on some things disagree on others and the old categories become less useful.

These days I think JREG is doing good work tracking political categories if you’re interested and don’t mind some irony-poisoned jargon check him out.

I like a lot of the redesign suggestions but how much of that is a result of cards vs no-cards. For example removing the tags and using colored words ("privacy") could still be a good move while keeping cards.

I'm not super educated as a UI designer though can someone help me better understand the distinction?

I've been at companies where the company itself has no code assets but depends on a bunch of 3rd party enterprise services to run the core business. Brings up the question of how to measure how much code you have: if you depend on a legacy saas provider, do their lines of code count as your liability?

Neat website, thanks for posting. Basically necessary to avoid the twitter “paywall”

Are those passionate/nerdy people still running niche websites? A search engine that prioritizes that kind of content would be great.

I haven’t validated it myself but Kagi is trying to offer this kind of small web search https://blog.kagi.com/small-web

I have been feeling this for some time. I think it is covered tangentially here https://www.nateliason.com/blog/de-atomization-is-the-secret...

by the term "atomization"

c54 · 9 months ago
You may enjoy the book Atomized by Michel Houellebecq, he coined the term in the late 90's in a similar vein of what Nate is referencing in his post.
