<p>Omarchy has me questioning liking Rails because it just… straight up sucks?<p>It comes preloaded with friggen ZOOM. I don’t think Windows bloat is that bad.<p>If it makes people happy it makes people happy I guess. These guys trying it would be even more amazed at Fedora Workstation (“you can press windows and it shows all your open windows? That’s so much better”)</p>

<p>Did you even watch the video? Purpose fit algorithms outperform is quite literally the OPPOSITE of Suttons argument. This is the man who wrote this:<p>“The biggest lesson that can be read from 70 years of AI research is that general methods that leverage computation are ultimately the most effective, and by a large margin.”<p>His problem with LLMs are they aren’t general enough… In fact his essay the bitter lesson was what inspired the current LLM scaling.<p>If you watched the video, you can even see the part where he talks about how AI will fully replace humans as the next stage of life. How wholesome!</p>

<p>I only read Meditations. So yes, if he is not representative of the philosophy I have bastardized it.<p>Although, I am convinced Marcus Aurelius used Stoicism as a tool to control his emotions. Meditations reminded me of cognitive behavioral therapy. Repetitive soothing phrases to induce equanimity.</p>

<p>Stoicism in Ancient Rome was COMPLETELY about controlling your emotions, though. And in Greece it was never that big of a deal. The stoics we remember today are all Roman. Marcus Aurelius, Epicurious, Seneca.<p>Meditations is largely Marcus Aurelius soothing himself with logical arguments.<p>Im not doing it full justice but the passages read like “A whole is not less than its parts, Humans are intelligent, therefore the universe is intelligent, there for my situation is a logical plan from the universe, so I should be content.” Marcus was explaining why he needed to be the perfect elite Roman citizen, using nature to logically show why he needed to embody societally cherished traits like being logical, just, fair, but also being stern, powerful and strong. Over and over again.<p>Now at the time, they did consider it a hard science. They were trying to figure out secrets of the universe, the absolute correct ethics, and therapy (controlling your emotions) at the same
time. Each tenet relied on eachother, you couldn’t have one with the other. Today we know the science was wrong and ethics are more complicated than they could’ve imagined, but the controlling emotions side remains. So I completely disagree that modern stoic bros are bastardizing it, it just is an flawed ideology that matches well with some of our modern western traits of a “masculine” man.</p>

<p>I love the design. Clean and refreshing - you start at the left and every sub element goes to the right. Like a file browser. And the commit screen is dense but super readable. I would move the summary column from the right of the README to the left of the README on the /home screen (and call /home the /README).<p>Loading files is very slow but I assume that's because HN is hammering the server.<p>I am not a believer in negative advertising. So I don't give a poop you are anti-ai. Or "better" than Github (better for who??). Just imply you are a code forge thats made for serious developers who need something engineered to be fast and reliable.<p>I wish you the best of luck, I can see Linear coming out with git repos after coming out with a diff reader. I have a suspicion there's space for many code forges in the market as you build out more features, especially if you lean into your products hacker-y-ness</p>

<p>Re-read it. We needed to preserve scroll position when you went back. If you just linked back to the inbox it would kick you to the top of the screen.</p>

<p>I like React. And I have seriously tried the HTMX/Hotwire camp.<p>I wanted to make a back button use browser APIs to go back if the coming from the inbox, just link to the inbox otherwise to preserve scrolling. I had to wire the actions from the html to call the function that goes back, then in my controller determine the previous page and send the JS enabled back button or the hard link. My logic was spread out over 3 files!<p>With React I can have js in a component determine if the previous page was inbox, and based on that value show the back button JSX or the link. ALL IN ONE FILE. One conceptually entity for me to model vs 3 that do other things and this functionally is hammered in.<p>Is it slower? Definitely. But it makes me happy. Miserable in a corporate React slopbase? Blame your coworkers, it would definitely be worse without it.</p>

<p>If you wake up every day feeling like you got hit by a train and also have anxiety, depression, chronic heartburn, or exhaustion (not sleepiness, like a wired but tired) I would highly recommend looking into Upper Airway Respiratory Syndrome (UARS).<p>UARS was coined by Dr. Christian Guilleminault who was on the team that coined sleep apnea. Over his career he slowly widened his definition of sleep disordered breathing from choking (sleep apnea) to any nasal resistance that causes wake ups.<p>You be young and perfectly healthy but due to bad anatomy have micro arousals throughout the night. Becuase your young, your body fights through it (cuasing exhuastion) and will wake up up to readjust your airway. You won't remeber any of the wakeups, but many suffer from insomnia from it. The two big issues is large tongue in underdeveloped jaw that falls back and constricts your airway (you can test this with a mallamapati test) or a small nasal passage way.</p>
