Pothos probably

That’s sick, I have a lot of respect for that guy, and it feels good that he had a similar (better) idea

Seems like a natural next step is some kinda reputation system for a project’s contributors. If you’ve written 50 successfully merged PRs, you’re certainly less likely to make trash in any method. Create a mentorship heirarchy. It sounds very helpful no matter what. Then the people who have merged 0 PRs to the project will likely work harder too, since they know they will be at the most scrutiny

I unironically want this to make wizard scrolls

It’s just unsettled law, and the link is basically an opinion piece. But guess who wins major legal battles like this - yep, the big corps. There’s only one way this is going to go for AI generated code

I evaluated matrix a few years ago to try to add chat to my video game. I also evaluated everything else. Sendbird (proprietary, what reddit uses) is crazy expensive. Matrix is complicated and didn’t have a good simple web frontend. XMPP is still pretty good. In the end, I ended up going with IRC v3 which fixes many of the legacy problems of IRC, and that was the best option. I am still scratching my head as to how that’s the state of the art for sending little bits of text back and forth. Don’t get me started on WebRTC, I spent a whole year trying to make a stable video chat app for another project

That’s great! Not that you asked for advice, but the other pieces of enlightenment are (1) work on really broad awareness at the edges of your senses - distant sounds, the weight of your clothes, edges of your vision (2) a joyful gratitude for everything you see / experience. Try doing all of that at once, while on a walk or whatever

Love that the entire justification is that Linus doesn’t know how to count higher than 20. Lucky for us that he’ll probably retire before we get to version 20.20 because otherwise he’d probably have to just shut the whole project down

Is it all the way silent or are there a different layer of kinda quieter meta-thoughts about how you’re not thinking thoughts rn?

Pretty sure they are all your own thoughts, or none of them are. I’m unclear where thoughts come from. Either way, a big part of meditation is focus training, and while people differ in this ability, everyone can improve - like exercise

I think this generally takes practice, i.e. meditation. The Buddhist lore from the ages is that people can only do this for a few seconds naturally, slowly extending the amount of time, unless they are in a flow state of an activity - like driving a racecar or dancing. But yes it is a superpower, being able to control your mind and emotions, and shut them off

Yeah the electrons are happy. It’s grounded, by which I mean it’s not allowed to go out with its friends

There won’t be that many of them in a few years when consolidation happens. The theory is this is a turning point in all of society, so high investment is seen as warranted. Meanwhile, the price of inference and infrastructure is going to continue to reduce, while corporate adoption will rise

Weird take. Typical playbook in SV is to push a free product to gain market dominance for a few years. Also 2% is a common paying user percentage for almost every freemium biz model, and 3%+ is actually considered pretty good

So friggin cool, I’m immediately in

Yeah I agree & don’t have a solution. I’ve also lived under fully socialized healthcare, and that’s quite problematic as well for various reasons including wait times & quality of care / options

What?! You can run whole Linux apps on Windows

Weird language, it seems to be almost exactly Go, GC, even has the “go” keyword for async, and tries for the same usecases of server backends

Arguably the prices of healthcare are what they are because of the legal institution of insurance and the system of middlemen involved, so it’s not really an example of free markets, but I’ll show myself and my logic outta here ok peace

I still think these guys are lunatics, who loves windows coding so much as to do this? Hahaha very impressive
