@alekswritescode @DailyDevTips1 @_getleaf Hi Aleks, will fix immediately. If you could tell me what mobile device you have, it would help me out :)

@simonholdorf @DailyDevTips1 @_getleaf Hi Simon, appreciate the feedback (not going to write it off as “just getting old 😂”). we’re still playing around with our format and trying to figure out what looks best

Would you prefer if our desktop view looked more like our mobile view?

An extremely common failure mode is running a business as a charity. This is self-evidently a bad business; it's also a bad charity.

(If you were to rank order all people in the world in need of charitable help, where would local business owners in America be on that list?)

@yiihya His anti progressivism is so pessimistic that it does a 360 and turns into optimism

don't think ive ever seen an unbiased documentary. what lends to making this medium so blatantly partisan?

[Rahul Sarathy @outofthebot]

I am skeptical of HCI because it turns what I feel is an art into a science

[Rahul Sarathy @outofthebot]

@jmrphy Justin you removed "anarcho-communist" from your bio so idk where you lie politically, but it seems you are shifting more ancap after taking to the Silicon Valley startup ecosystem

me: Bhagavad Gita? book about war? sounds interesting

Bhagavad Gita: pain, suffering, and desire are illusory. you, the stars, and the ocean are all one in the great cosmos. life is but a dream.

me: damn that's cool but like what page does the fighting start

You know why savant programmers become obsessed with mechanical keyboards? Because of Lindy tactile

They need the feeling of responsive touch that modern work does not provide

They long for work where they can use their hands

@KeithRubinst This is a good redpill. Thanks for the resources, Keith

[Rahul Sarathy @outofthebot]

@KeithRubinst yeah I always noticed that contradiction, but naively wrote it off as either me misunderstanding, or the doctrine just being flawed

[Rahul Sarathy @outofthebot]

@KeithRubinst interesting. I was always familiar with https://t.co/0JTmOAnJ3M and thought that it was generally accepted as truth within the religion.

Now I see there is a "current disputes" section on this page. Worth a look.

[Rahul Sarathy @outofthebot]

@KeithRubinst This is just because the grifters base their practice off of Buddhism not Hinduism, no?
