There’s also www.rive.app

I found it rather enjoyable, but a click bait title will definitely get you further in this age of the internet

https://rive.app is a free tool to create animations that integrates with a number of 'player libraries' (aka runtimes) that support most modern platforms. Rive focuses more on interactivity, rather than just playing back a small clip like Lottie is.

Tbh I was 100% expecting it with all the shortages and chip crunched. Hardware is hard, no way around it If anything, I appreciate the transparency

Waning immunity seems to affect only the probability of getting infected. Vaccine effectiveness against serious disease, hospitalization, and death are still very high. So, maybe boosters won't be for everyone

Tesla FSD should be up there

He makes some good points in the talk, but omg what a troll he is. Also on Twitter he's been a jerk to so many people, I really don't understand. If he's looking for what's wrong with software companies, he's part of the problem with his attitude honestly

It's very close-minded to believe that having a common phrasebook to solve common problems can be described as a "code smell".

Design Patterns are tools in a box, aiming to create scalable solutions, but the way a solution is implemented is up to the implementer. Design patterns just try to establish the language.

The comment section shows one thing about these type of articles: you can't have a "one size fits all" solution for these types of things. Some people like it one way, some like it another way.

Just keep it moving until you find something that works.

Loved this book! Reads really well.

I see the same response everywhere on TypeScript: when a project becomes big enough, it's a good way to keep it under control.

And I tend to agree: types can be annoying, but when stability and robustness come into play, TypeScript is most certainly the way to go. It enforces good behavior.

And yeah, of course it slows JavaScript down, that's entirely the point..! JS allows you to do whatever you want, but that doesn't mean it's always the right choice

After having read Sapiens I realized that there's something deeply disturbing about it all, though.

The fact that Harari seems to think that everything is just a 'story' that we tell ourselves, is way too nihilistic.

Maybe, taking this external perspective, we can understand better the direction in which we're going, but it doesn't resolve a fundamental question: why do we live the way we do?

In the long(human timescale) run, this is unsustainable and depressing, it takes away from the ethics and the aesthetics that have made human life what it is, that have brought us to live the way we do.

Any tips on how to handle reading through more technical books?

This is so fascinating!

Paul Graham's blog is still full of pearls, thanks a lot for sharing. One thing that I think is missing in his essay is the fact that Wittgenstein in the end also realized that philosophy is incredibly effective as meditation, I still find that thinking about things is relaxing and cathartic.

Philosophize This! is really an incredible take on older and more modern philosophy. Stephen West is a great story teller and every episode is very well curated and researched.

Couples Therapy with Candice and Casey I've never been a fan of talk shows, but they manage to talk about all aspects of life and relationships.

The reason they didn't leave sooner? The "Beehive Effect".

Paul Graham said it in one of his essays, Steve Jobs in an interview.

Really fascinating! Insatiable curiosity, and a wider perception even as time passed in his life, Leonardo is truly remarkable

Great video that showcases the Pilot Wave idea: https://youtu.be/WIyTZDHuarQ

I really do hope that we can find a way to make sense of everything in Physics, but Bohm's description of the infinite in the article is rather fascinating. Maybe there's no way out after all

Very interesting read! He might've made some big mistakes during his tenure, but if Microsoft's still there it's also his merit

This is essentially how I feel also about Computer Science: resilience is the best quality that an aspiring mathematician can possess!

I've been using SodaPlayer for a good chromecast+subtitles support! It's not as feature rich as VLC, but it gets the job done

"Time you enjoy wasting, is not wasted time"

I'm really glad that Firefox is back in the game! But I haven't got a compelling reason to switch from Chrome just yet.

There'll always be a part of me that wants to learn vim better and set something like this up. Then there's the other part of me, that just uses Sublime instead.

Hopefully this is going to be great news. I can't believe how fast the research with CRISPR is moving, and can't wait to see what's next!
