I so wish I could "kill stupid things before they cause damage", "set direction" and have people follow, but it seems especially difficult for technical people.

We spend all-day every-day talking to our subservient (a compiler) but a human is fuzzy and unreliable which is compounded by team size. Carmack can realize something in an instant but it is amazing how long it can take an entire team.

One thing I've noticed that really does not work is "complaining", if Carmack thinks he is complaining, then magnify that by 10 for others on the team.

Rather than attacking an idea directly, I'm wondering if ignoring the idea may be more effective. This way there's no one to fight and the idea can slip away without any ego or drama, there's no face to lose.

If you really can't help the situation, then leaving is the last resort. Oh well, on to the next thing, very curious to see what Carmack gets into next.

Looks old school open source, sourceforge!

This looks very nice, I may give it a shot for a side project that I don't really have time for.

For anyone looking, here's installing via pip: https://github.com/anvil-works/anvil-runtime#using-the-stand...

The code is GNU AFFERO GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE Version 3.

I would recommend Django, but it's really only the backend half of what you're looking for.

What you're describing sounds very nice though.

I've often wanted a VB6 equivalent for the web, but open source.

My favorite, albeit from the questions section:

"I'm somewhat confused by exactly what that means"

I'm working on the egalitarianism-failed-elitism quote..

the need hasn't been achieved? As in, there is no need..

I didn't expect it be said out loud like this!

I am very excited about this research problem! Feels like many pieces required to make it workable, but all the pieces are out there.

Imagine, Friday you identify a bug, write a test to exemplify the bug. Some ML/AI-based approach generates a ballpark fix for a bug, maybe it doesn't compile or actually fix the bug, but at least it contains all the ingredients required to fix. Then some trial-and-error (e.g. Genetic Programming) algorithm is used to search through many variants to find a combination that is a correct fix. All of this deployed as part of CI/CD. Morning morning you have a nice patch to review. And also, the patch is also the most performant out of a number of fixes found.

Anything about software that is measurable can be optimized, possibly even security considerations as mentioned in another comment.

I wanted a simpler way to send myself email notifications from CLI - https://batsign.me

Right, angel.co is not exactly a social platform by design, but people on there are in the startup space, likely very motivated, working on something very specific and open to discussion/proposition.

I guess the specificity of the discussion is the main thing interesting there, provided startups are your thing.

For other things, hobbies etc., there may be more specific places where you get a concentration of focused discussion on a topic.

I've had the same experience on linkedin, and I think it's because a lot of the content is not specific enough, it increasingly feels like facebook.

I think there may be other places with a higher density of very specific purpose, like angel.co

edit: this point is made in the article - "The beginners guides to everything have already been written. What’s missing is more advanced content."

And from the other side, I've had good success reaching out to people in response to something posted on the web. An email only takes 5 minutes, and it can lead to a life-changing new friend, project and business.

How's it going?

It gets more readable the more often you read it

As others have mentioned, see if you can rope together something with a Google form and sheets.

Django is great, you can get very far with it's defaults e.g. it uses local SQLite db.

so so good, but yea maybe a bit too hard.. or too hard to get good at

Occasionally I've felt a frustration configuring email, so I created a simpler way to set up notifications: https://batsign.me

I'm currently thinking about how the log view can be improved.

I write them, but rarely read them

I'm a field where it's never been so easy to replicate an experiment, I really wish more people would make their code available. It can be liberating to put your code out there, sort of setting it free, and you'll be much more forgiving if other people's code quality in the future.

The negatives are overestimated, is unlikely many people will read the code.

I built a simple email API that I use frequently for notifications and reports. https://batsign.me

I like this one.

If the means of production continue to get more efficient, where do we end up?

If you were the only person that needed to work, would you do it?

There are a lot of personally useful things bundled into religion, prayer being one of them that at is core just looks like meditation, which doesn't necessarily require religion.

Strongly agree it's not just a power grab.. I think the power grab comes after rituals emerge and become common.

What percentages are you seeing?

The lava layer anti-pattern springs to mind, where the new tech becomes another quirk of the old tech.

I just printed out that image and stuck it on my wall.. nice.

Surely there's a way of scripting this...

Something like this: https://github.com/shawnanastasio/firefox-privacy-restorer

I'm really interested to hear what folk have in mind for this, what you would use it for specifically, I'll add some examples or features that help.

Hey, try it now?

I was hardening up the server recently, which broke email config.. kinda motivates the service even more for you hopefully! :) You don't want to be configuring email..

Do you have links to reading on the arguments against code review?

After a good amount of searching it doesn't seem possible to add Marginalia as default search in firefox (84.0b8) on Debian.

I did not expect this to not be available.

Is there a way to set marginalia as default search in firefox?
