Well said, and thank you for the final paragraph. Made me chuckle.
Exactly this. LLMs make learning faster and easier for those who _want_ to learn, but conversely make it harder for those who don’t.

If Signal had a 'Create group from WhatsApp' option then most of my groups would have switched over in an instant.
Even if this was a good idea, the push on commercialisation puts me off. And as other commenters have said, the DSL feels like it would end up being a hinderance. Stimulus (and perhaps StimulusReflex) feel like the safer bets for the dynamic rails future.
I learnt to program on the ZXSpectrum with "Write Your Own Adventure Programs for Your Microcomputer" [0]
The RPi400 with Pico-8 seems to tick the same boxes, so I got one for my 10yr old. He's loving it. Perfect use case.

I'm a late stage Intercom customer, very disappointed by their price gouging. I also find their 1 day support response time for existing customers, in contrast to immediate responses for new prospects very telling of their general ethos. This article is welcome.
Yes! Sidecar should have the option to show the iPad screen for presentations in OSX. Drawing apps on iOS are much better suited to live-doodling with a pen than OSX ones.
Same sort of issue for me, but I use the Chrome bookmarks toolbar - only shown on new tab. It's the main thing I miss on FF.
I've been using Postico for years. High quality software.
Nice. Most of the instructors on our system* have pivoted to run their classes online like that now too. YouTube or Vimeo synchronized with a live Zoom.
It's actually working really well for them as they can now open to a wider audience! It's great to see how people have adapted so quickly in the lockdown.
Only partially related to the post topic, but this rust game project is worth checking out - https://github.com/citybound/citybound
Amazing! I didn't know about outline. So much nicer than the original. Thank you.
What can we do to protect our world from the the mega-corps degrading society and eating our souls with their moral compass lacking commercialisation of our very existence? Serious question.

State machines in games should be a lure enough for the kids: http://gameprogrammingpatterns.com/state.html
Agreed. Attacks like this should be turned into a national issue and not left to Linode to deal with alone. I hope the NSA or FBI or whoever are investigating.
Flappy Bird
Agreed. A single kitchen sink page would be enough for now, just to get a feel for the base styles.
My first HN LOL thanks!
A word of warning for any UK based BT customers: xip.io doesn't work on BT Home Hub 5! I recently upgraded to the 5 from a Home Hub 3 (which it worked fine on), but had to send it back because of this. The 'BT tech experts' couldn't give an explanation. Has anyone else had the same issue?
Me too.. until recently, because there's no way to switch to a fixed width font. So I've moved to the built in mac Notes app. You can hack the resources files to set a plain background and better default font.
As soon as Simplenote allow font changes, I'm going back though for the Android cross platform support.
OneNote 235MB, Simplenote 1.2MB
I know there's no comparison in functionality, but if words are all you need then that's 233.8MB less bloat!
(If benhuberman's listening - please give us font options!)
Quick first impressions: Cutting edge designs nicely implemented, but personally I find these style of websites a bit annoying to navigate. Not their fault though. Web design is all about trends and this framework is certainly riding on the latest.
Also, I liked this little gem: "This is a probably the best plans ever born"
With Gnome 3.10. Nice. Even nicer with the Phosphene theme: http://hdni.github.io/rice/assets/phosphene_preview.png - https://github.com/hdni/Phosphene
I'm looking forward to the LTS release so I can feel more comfortable using it in a production app.
A slight aside, but I spotted this (currently broken) integration of RethinkDB and Meteor the other day and wanted to share. It does away with the long poll Meteor is doing on Mongo. (I have no involvement in this project at all.)
