I would imagine they linked it because it's a great read and they figured others would be interested. ACX is extremely well known around here, I'm surprised you're unfamiliar.

Scott runs creative writing contests for his readers, this was one of the finalists. I think you're reading far more seriously into a writing exercise than necessary, which I'd imagine is why you were left bothered by it.

Agree on the Nostr point. Apparently it stands for "Notes and Other Stuff Transmitted by Relays" - sort of cute.

Similar to the sub itself, it’s now just shorthand for “describe using the first principles the expected audience should understand.”

I imagine a lot of people in the industry also fondly remember the 2010s reddit experience.

Is this deliberate miscapitalization thing a behavior you often encounter?

Hm, I fundamentally disagree and I sincerely hope there will ever be a time when meat consumption is viewed as equivalent to cannibalism. That sounds like a society I wouldn’t want to be a part of.

I’m surprised you’d come to such a drastic conclusion. I have nothing but respect for your right to eat the diet you choose, but it’s a shame that isn’t something you’re willing to extend to others.

This sounds a bit like someone who’s never played a video game being disappointed in John Carmack.

When you’re that far removed from a certain subculture it shouldn’t be surprising when you’re unable to understand it.

He left the show after only 4 seasons, but I like to think his influence on the writing was a big contributor to the shows golden years.

> with both games sharing the same Direct3D device. GTA III renders directly into the television’s live GPU texture.

That's the basic plumbing, for anyone curious. Cool project, game modders are awesome.

UBI used to be a bit of a funny reddit pipe dream. Now it’s a serious long term hypothetical being trialed in the short term and that’s solely as a result of AI progress.

When that result undermines the tenet that capitalism is the root of human suffering, it’s simplest to just reject the result wholesale.

I can take out my copy and explain better later today, if it’s interesting.

Respectfully, if I received a cover letter with the same sort of prose and grammar I wouldn't be considering the candidate. How you communicate online says a lot about how you might behave in the workplace.

Your project seems interesting but it's pretty hard to understand what it does. https://github.com/RajX-dev/N3MO

What do your users think?

I ended up just embedding them directly in the HTML as base64 and sending him a 15mb file, but hypothetically this would have been a nice solution instead.

I’d love to see an opinion poll on the topic, I imagine people’s opinions are going to change depending on the implementation.

If the pitch is “you won’t even notice it unless you’re drunk” then I’d imagine you’re right, and maybe people are more receptive than I thought.

This fact alone makes the comparison you’re trying to make pretty silly. You have far, far more to fear from the country from which you’re a citizen than the company for which you’re a customer.

Read more history.

I think an in-car breathalyzer which gates the ignition would also save a lot of lives.

Most people agree that kind of manufactured paternalism is an overreach and would be against its introduction. Other people say the same about the diverted driving detector, and I imagine others said the same about the seatbelt sensor.

The intersection of personal freedom and personal safety is an interesting topic, I don't think there's a right answer and it's ultimately pretty subjective.
