Rebecca Boyle’s Our Moon talks a lot about this. A fascinating read!

For me, it’s "The Pine Barrens". It’s boring, but he did make it interesting. For a while, at least.

the comments on this post are pretty diverse.

The tussle between usability and security.

does this mean apple cannot come up with new features unless they support interoperability? Isn’t that taking away the incentive to innovate?

pōtana's bhāgavataṁ, if you can read Telugu.

I miss the early academic internet with at least a couple of links every sentence. :)

Piquant and jejune?

That’s awesome! Can someone point me to a similar minimal web/editableContent implementation? Would love to learn from it.

what a funny/scary thought :)

interesting. how do you get volunteers for this weekly meeting?

English. Does English count ? :)

iPhone followed the name iPod. I actually think iPad is great.

as reasonable as that proposal sounds, i wonder if that will result in a whole market of asking questions on behalf of students.

Another example of "everything looks the same".

Me too. In fact, I have noticed I am far more attentive, when I turn off the camera and don't look at other people’s camera feeds.

I mean - one could argue they should render word and ppt documents as well. What are the trade-offs should be the question, dont you think?

I am an Indian, and I share this feeling. We have some very good writers and lots of mediocre ones, not to comment about this particular post, which i have not read. Anyway, Indian schooling does not focus on writing as a skill, as much as they do on math and science.

Was lot of fun staring at it for a long time. However, every driver using turn signals when they change lanes is not realistic :)

From independent India’s first PM Jawaharlal Nehru to current PM Narendra Modi - she met with a lot of them too.

It seems to work for me. I see "It works!".

Isn't Roe‘s sense of privacy different from tech‘s sense of privacy?

+1 for Economist.

Don't let the titles of New York Review of Books and London Review of Books fool you. They do much longer view of contemporary news but thru book review.

Most news is probably not worth following every day. The rearview mirror of a weekly magazine gives better context than trying to follow most news the same day when details are still ongoing.

This book is a great collection of concepts and techniques from a range of classic FP texts, reintroduced and reinterpreted for ES6.

It's fascinating all the ways this is unethical, but not illegal.

I was in my fourth year of a five year undergrad/grad program at BITS Pilani, India. It was late in the evening as someone in the rec room caught a whiff off it while channel surfing. The TV played BBC World broadcast non-stop for the next 36 hours, and the whole dorm was glued to it.

"Asians" doesnt mean much, if it has to mean someone from the continent of Asia, given 60% of world population is from Asia.

Wtf is a "Hindu" pm?

Atchafalaya by John McPhee, New Yorker, Feb 1987: https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/1987/02/23/atchafalaya

A ton of front end templating languages/frameworks. They involve compilers to different degrees, don't they?
