> Routing, state management, auth, components, theming, API access, and more are all still problems that people add libraries for

A lot of this goes away if you choose a server-side framework that handles its own routing, auth, api, templates etc. And the state management also goes away if you don't need complex stateful widgets on the frontend.

I don't think this is particularly true anymore. Most of the canonical artists of the past century were successful during their lifetimes. The ones who weren't either died tragically young (e.g. Basquiat), or didn't care for exposure much at all (e.g. Hilma af Kint).

There needs to be an ROI, YC isn't funding companies out of the goodness of their hearts. So the additional size means they have to bet on Uber and Lyft and Flywheel and every other competitor in that space in order to guarantee a return, because they only win if they bet on every horse. You can't do that if you keep small since the number of entrants got bigger. Hence scaling is necessary for them.
I hate that I'm forced to scroll just to be able to read something that is already in the screen, but each to its own.

I think you are probably right. But what is really frustrating about this is the lack of alignment on what people want vs what industries need.

We talk so much about how capitalism is built around people's needs, but that betrays another reality, which is that people only get what capitalism produces.

If we were a planned economy we could skip right to an android in everyone's homes. But we wouldn't even have the tech for the android with a planned economy. So instead, we have to feed capitalism what it needs so it can innovate. Which sometimes is just a net loss for everyone in the meantime.
In this case it plainly is though, if we just think about what they're saying.
I mean, sure it is, if you have a severe case of sociopathy.

Yep. I think it's avoided by most modern rules writers because it looks intimidating and technical to many people. Among modern non-wargames, the authoritative rules for Root (Law of Root) do have this feature: http://root.livingrules.io/
Yeah exactly. It’s not an unreasonable search and we don’t have confidence our search methods work. Hell, the Ryugu sample was contaminated while in a hermetically sealed clean room filled with nitrogen gas. Either the blood brain barrier is even more effective or maybe the story isn’t quite so clear. This is not an unreasonable hypothesis nor do have we exhausted search. Hell, we’re literally talking about it in response to a related find in another species. So it’s definitely not a wild theory or one that conflicts with known theories.

The chocolate teapot example is a non sequiter as it fails both Occam’s razor and the principle that extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence not to mention that it wouldn’t follow any laws of known science and it’s existence very well would upend quite a few of those. The scientific method isn’t something you get to apply piecemeal.
They're just monetizing goodwill until it's zero.
> It's grossly unfair to take the eventual success of abolitionism to try to argue that there must have been less German opposition to Nazism than American opposition to slavery.

I was not taking that view, nor do I believe there was little opposition to Nazism in Germany. I simply do not believe such a large population can fully agree on one direction--in such unison, for any "cause" in such short time, whatever that may be. I was pointing out that the lack of visual division (as taught in modern times) could give it the appearance that it was unified. As the other poster pointed out, the differing time frames (length of time) is likely the cause of the visual discrepancies. I agree. I was in no way saying that there was no division, only that the appearance between the two, as taught now, could lead the OP to have the view that they were unified; unlike the general view of American slavery and the overt division that eventually appeared.

As for people that stood up to slavery, I was actually thinking of my ancestors I have been researching. One were first settlers and granted land in and around Jamestown, then the Carolinas. As the other poster mentions "most white resistance to slavery - in supporting the underground railroad was through groups like the Quakers", turns out the first American born generation (of my direct line) broke away from their slave holding prominent British family, were hard-core Quakers (involved in and charged in Cary's Rebellion) moved to the free states and became known in their area for fighting for abolition; including an incident/scuffle with pro-slavers looking for runaways in which he and companion were robbed, beaten and held/kidnapped for a time before being released.

So while it's a single example, the fact that there are only a few "known" examples with more well known people doesn't mean that it was limited--only that stories are hidden, unlike well-known stories of opposition to Nazi's (which I fully believe) and I am sure there are many more that never have surfaced, or only to a limited degree.

I'm not saying that opposition to slavery was instantly wide spread either, I get that. For one more obscure story, another line that married into a wealthy British colonial family of merchants, also had the second American generation forgo slaves and stayed in Va.--(I get that is shitty still, and after all the research, I understand better than before slavery and how it was simply the way of things at the time, but hindsight can be ugly)--they lived out their lives, working their own land until the Civil War where those generations (of age) fought for the Union.

TL;DR: The main issue I believe is the visual appearance in both early education and popular media, which would cause some to believe they were full in Nazis.

Unfortunately they never did UNIX, the Pascal compilers for UNIX were rather lame, mostly ISO without much extensions.

> The impact of Markdown becomes clear if we plot a random sample of content websites. (Disclaimer: the data is made-up, based on my perception of the state of the web)

It makes sense that your perception of the web has driven you to create a new tool and market it with a think piece. But to expand that to suggest you have effectively realized and filled a new vector space in the web is excessive

>That sparse area just beyond the limits of Markdown is of vital importance to the web. These websites are not only a joy to read but also the ones that explore the web's possibilities, embracing the medium and evoking a truly web-native feel.

>Currently, these websites are outliers created by individuals who care deeply about the reader's experience or by companies willing to invest extra effort. We need more of them.

Interesting to me that you have added "focus on this paragraph" coloring to your site. I'm not against that in principle, but you have placed it farther up the page than I prefer to read and scroll. So you care deeply about my experience, have created a whole tool to inhabit an area of web design that you think is undeserved, rationalize it based on feels, and, for me, deliver a poorer experience to show it off.

"The Website Wasteland", as you call it, is a good thing if this is the result of populating it.

Don't normalize either.
Yeah, on second thought I don't think it's fair either. I didn't mean "trick" in a derogatory sense. In fact I was praising Le Guin!

I do think it's unquestionable that she was purposefully subverting and playing with the standard expectations of fantasy novels written by white and male authors.

I think Martha Wells does a bit of the same with her depiction of both Murderbot as well as -- in general -- the role of women in her series. In particular Dr. Mensah impressed me: she's fair, intelligent, and in charge. She's not an action hero nor does she know her way around extreme violence, yet she's not downplayed as incompetent or lost (arguably after overcoming some initial naivete); in fact she's possibly the most competent character (in things other than killing people, of course).

> So, in other words, you're in favor of a minor tax on those worse off than you, with poor credit score or otherwise can't get a credit card, so that you don't have to think about how your credit card company is ripping the merchant off.

ugh I am not saying any of this... if you have cash - pay with cash. I do not want to get a benefit for paying with a card (though of course more and more places do not even take cash any longer) and when I say card I don't mean actual credit card, debit card works just as well. just don't charge me any different

> If the business doesn't write that "3% for credit card users" down, and 90% of their customers use credit cards, their logical next step is to instead increase the price of all items by 2.7%, which lets you save a minor amount of money by screwing over those who are worse off.

This is their problem, not mine. If they want to charge extra - that is fine. I won't pay extra. If every business charges extra than I won't have a choice but as long as there are places that don't I am spending my money there.

> If you just actively want to worsen the life of poorer people for your own benefit, well, I guess you're at least on the right site for it.

Where are you getting this from? why am I worsening life or poorer people?! What if a poor person does not have any cash on them but has a debit card - we gonna punish them for not carrying cash around?! It seems like you are arguing the opposite here or just assuming poor person = I carry wads of cash with me everywhere...?
> Root has a major rules sprawl issue IMO. Many rules are spread throughout the cards, the "Learning to Play" guide, the "Law of Root", the player mats, etc.

Every rule AFAIK is in the Law of Root. So just refer to that. Once you've played once you should never look at the Learn to Play again. The player mats are player aids to remind you of the rules. The fact that rules are duplicated there is a plus, not a minus.

I eat apples almost every day and have found that some growers are just simply better than others.

Have you ever looked at the sticker brand on your apples? If not, pay attention next time. Rainier has the best Honeycrisps. They're phenomenal. All others pale in comparison.

This realization made my wife and I pay more attention across all of our produce. We'll choose to buy produce based on the brand that's currently in stock. It feels absurdly picky, but I find it refreshing to at least know why a batch of brussel sprouts, apples, oranges, etc. tasted more bitter or less flavorful than normal.

It makes sense when you think about it. People care where their coffee beans come from, with flavor preferences of one region versus another. Why shouldn't we have flavor preferences based on who grows our produce?

Hi I'm Beth,

I'm currently working as an engineering consultant, working on mainly integrations projects, and am looking for a full time role. I've previously worked as a bootcamp instructor teaching SQL and data analytics, and as a data analyst. I'm looking for an engineering role where I can solve interesting technical challenges, and grow as an engineer.

My educational and early work experience is in biological research, so I'd love a role where I can marry my SWE and life sciences experience, but am very much open to any company where there are interesting problems to solve.

I am also currently completing my master's degree in Computer Science in my free time to further help me improve my technical capabilities, and to keep up to date with and contribute to the latest research and problems in the field.

Maximizing the long term value of the company can be at odds with extracting the most amount of money over the next quarter.

For example, Meta could say "if you don't pay us 100 dollars per year, we will delete your entire account including all of your memories and photos across instagram, threads, and Facebook" and probably make a giant amount of money in the next quarter as people panic over losing their memories to something they considered reliable. However, it would kill the company's long term growth.

As described to me by a couple of professional musicians who have absolute pitch (I don't) it's not so much that you lose it as that it shifts. For example the qualia you experienced for a B might now be felt in response to a slightly flat C, the whole sensation having shifted by a bit less than a semitone.

This sounds vastly worse than just "losing absolute pitch" and was an extremely unpleasant and life-changing experience for the people that described it to me. Hearing about it was enough to convince me that absolute pitch is more of a curse than a blessing for musicians.
