Their goalpost is now "wow so now the pro-censorship crowd cares about free speech?"

The recent free speech angle many tech leaders have taken has left a horrible, horrible taste in my mouth. An article comparing trust & safety to "censorship teams" made waves all around twitter last night, including andreessen and musk.

It has nothing to do with speech but everything to do with making sure they know who's in charge. None of them will say anything about this. Despicable.

Surprised to see this downvoted. Competitive programming is a real thing and people really do want to earn a top 10 spot. This takes up space.

If someone were looking for an entry in the "compile a calculator to a stack machine" genre, what would you recommend?

This is unbelievable. Thanks so much for sharing.

Very nice! Surprised how good that IKEA frame looks. I have a similar hobby project [0] using an Inkplate 6 [1]

Good catch - You can probably tell which parts I took from Microsoft Windows User Experience [0] and which I built while eyeing my VM.

Unsure why there's a discrepancy. You're probably right re: taskbar buttons.

No - I tend to not take myself too seriously and was very much optimizing for smiles over "usefulness" or "github stars" so it was a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Hey HN - author here.

This was my burnout recovery project in April of 2020. Very much a labor of love and a surprising way to realize I still liked programming. I wrote some scattered thoughts here [0]

I also "run" this project quite differently than I usually do - when I receive a pull request instead of merging it I do a quick glance through the user's github to make sure they're not a spammer before giving them _commit access_ and asking them to merge their own PR [1]. It has worked wonders.

I took this class during undergrad! It was really enlightening as a web developer to actually...write the server

I think there's a distinction between vocational materials (your book is one I should absolutely have to pay for - which is why many places of work have an education budget) and literature. I don't quite know what, though.

Often times it's not flair but latency! I have yet to find a handheld that plays my GBA titles with the same feel as my actual SP, save my Analogue Pocket which has an FPGA.

It feels like the logical end state of "clever" code, for better or for worse. Or, alternatively, what happens when a standard library is gigantic but each keyword is 1-2 characters.

Couldn't agree more. This sets an awful precedent for people who want to start websites dedicated to harassing people to the point of suicide.

Love it :)

How does it feel to author prose with this? I noticed the text isn't directly editable (wysiwyg) and starting to think that's probably the right trade-off.

The built-in server and remote support is pretty nice! API seems solid, and I dig the QR codes.

Weird to think someone (or a team, really) built this. Why?

Where can I learn more about mll and mly files? I've hand-rolled parsers and it's always my least favorite part of toy languages.

My M1 Air is the best computer I've ever owned. Handles everything I throw at it.

My M1 Pro (work computer) is such a leap from my old intel machine. It's wild to be running our services locally with Docker, install Xcode, and take a Zoom call without so much as hearing the fans. Battery lasts all day. Don't know if I'd fork over that much money myself, though.

It's a bait-and-switch. People left their jobs for new opportunities that were taken from them.

Shameless plug for a clone of this I did with FizzBuzz, except submitting a solution requires submitting a Dockerfile so that we can actually run it: https://github.com/jdan/fizzbuzz-polyglot

Cute idea!

Lori Lightfoot is neither on the left (she is squarely a centrist), nor the President of the United States claiming that the election was stolen.

I really enjoyed this, thanks! I've been writing OCaml a lot and wish it had the expressiveness of `instance Eq Pokemon where`.

James Damore was fired by Google, not a mob. The people at Google who made this decision read his "manifesto."
