I agree it's worth revisiting. Actually I wrote about this recently, I didn't realise there was a precedent here. https://tessl.io/blog/how-to-capture-intent-with-coding-agen...

> As a benefit, the code base can now be exported into many formats for comfortable reading. This is especially important if the primary role of engineers is shifting from writing to reading.

Underrated point. Also, whether we like it or not, people without engineering backgrounds will be closer to code in the future. That trend isn't slowing down. The inclusion of natural language will make it easier for them to be productive and learn.

Lol. I was trying to say the nice version of this.

A lot of people feel that Reddit is overmoderated - there was that controversy recently where one of the employees admitted manually altering a bunch of content (removing pro-Trump submissions and comments).

Also I imagine any general forum like Reddit wouldn't retain its power users for more than a few years at most. At a given time, most users are either at the point where they don't get any of the inside jokes, or where all of them are getting old. So it might make sense to have a new one of these every once in a while.

This is so cool! What a great project. Awesome resources linked up too.

You must be fun at parties

Seriously. No shit it helps.

Great read. Makes me reflect on my own taste, though. I seem to be attracted to people I can't quite understand, people who take some work for me to figure out. Maybe there's a solid relational foundation between us, but we're always quite different people and I'm kept guessing a lot of the time. I find it interesting, fun, stimulating. I'm sure there are plenty like me in that respect. Any armchair hypotheses for that?

Can we agree that birth control of all kinds has a long way to go? Both men & women should have the option to be in control of their reproductive rights. Neither men nor women deserve to experience serious side effects from the exercise of those rights.

Some lucky folks can take hormones with very little effects. I (F) have had very negative experiences with hormonal birth control, I'd be bummed for anyone else to go through it.

you should check out some european termination laws if you want a laugh.

I feel like this was always obviously the case in the United States. Nothing about US culture complements tiger parenting. Go ask Chinese kids in China how they feel about it. (hint: their culture fully supports and _expects_ this parenting style)

I'd say that no small part of the rage comes from fear. If I'm driving next to a cyclist that breaks the rules, I have to immediately become hypervigilant and pay a disproprortionate amount of attention to this cyclist and their behavior. It's my responsibility to pay that attention, though, because if I don't, I'm risking seriously injuring or even killing that person.

Humans on wheels are extremely vulnerable. Frankly, a lot of cyclist behavior I see when I'm driving involves a pretty low level of vigilance - it certainly doesn't scale with the amount of danger they're facing. I don't mean to sound overdramatic here, but if I break a driving rule like forgetting to signal, and I get rear-ended, that sucks balls for me, but there was virtually no chance of me being killed (or killing somebody), assuming a city environment. Regardless of legal implications, nobody wants that on their hands, and it's easy to see how worrying about it would get anybody heated.

This should probably always skew towards CA because of SV, but don't forget that the population of CA is the highest in the US by ~30% to begin with. I imagine there are a ton of people living here who were also born and raised here (myself included)

Yeah - It's kinda hard to say "salarly" without sounding a bit drunk.

This looks lovely! In the context of my job, though, collaboration features would make HelloSign absolutely killer. I often deal with documents that 2+ people need to sign. Currently use RightSignature for this, which is an elegant solution - but I'd welcome the opportunity to cut out a couple steps :)

I doubt it - although you would still need to pay CA franchise tax ($800 minimum yearly). That's always been the case.

This guy is great! Thanks for sharing. Re: color, his story about buying a car made me laugh. "Heather mist? What? Nothing else in the world is 'heather mist.'"

Actually car insurance premiums do vary based on gender, at least under a certain age (teenage boys being the most expensive to insure).

Most of these demands relate in some way to staving off a meaningful emotional connection, keeping things "all-business" etc. There's significant evidence that Einstein had a form of high-functioning autism (likely Asperger's). A signature symptom of Asperger's syndrome is discomfort with emotional intimacy and a lesser capacity for empathy.

I can't say if that's true or not, but if you combine these symptoms with the state of women's' rights at the time, this really isn't surprising at all - and in any case, there are far more explicit examples of sexism from this period.

Awesome! That's really cool, Matt. Cheers to helping everyone get a little higher on Maslow's pyramid today.

On that note... Here's a link to donate to the SF food bank's holiday food drive. https://org2.democracyinaction.org/o/5420/shop/custom.jsp?do...

Happy Thanksgiving all!

Chilling.

So agreed. And interesting thread you've spawned here. Pretty easy to separate the people I'd like to have a beer with from the people I wouldn't mind never speaking to... ever. :)

Fascinating dream. Being in space must be a huge jolt to the psyche in the first place, let alone remotely viewing Earth. I sometimes experience anxiety just from looking at the sky on a particularly clear night and knowing how fucking enormous those little dots really are.

The point is that it's an imperfect solution, and maybe if we fund research in this area a bit more, we can find a better one.

Also, this is a bit tangential, but I don't really perceive schizophrenia as changing one's personality. I have a close friend who is schizophrenic, and when she has episodes, hardly a bit of her real self remains. It's not a personality shift, it's more like a personality stroke/seizure.
