the internet is an MMO FFA PvP language game (massively multiplayer, online, free-for-all, player versus player) where letter (symbol) sequences are moves

  1. In my experience from the couple of times I clicked an IPFS link years ago, it loaded for a long time and never actually loaded anything, failing the first "I wish we could serve static content" part.

    If you make it possible for people to donate bandwidth you might just discover no one wants to.

  2. On this graph, the most expensive RAM is $12.5 / GB ($400 for DDR5-6000 2x16GB). Apple charges

    - $25 / GB ($200 for 8 GB for the M5 MacBook Pro and the M4 MacBook Air)

    - $16 / GB ($400 for 24 GB for the cheapest M4 Pro MacBook Pro)

    - $12.5 / GB ($200 for 16 GB and then $800 for 64 GB more for the most expensive M4 Pro and M4 Max MacBook Pros)

    and Apple's RAM is faster than PC RAM.

  3. That remaining 1% are then actually the most advanced species, since they can continue their billion year existence through a blip of a couple thousand years when the environment became a bit more radioactive. We're so fragile that we're effectively biologically unstable, they're so advanced that they don't even need to know what happened.
  4. Would've made more sense to add a grey "Edited" to edited releases. Releases are not actually immutable, GitHub could change them. I don't know why you need to use sciency words to say "editing disabled".
  5. Everyone who puts up a persistent bright dot in the night sky should compensate everyone who has to see it with 1 cent for the sensory pollution.
  6. Dog breeds are not real animals, they're some sort of half-artificial thing created by imperfectly writing some people's desire into another species's genetic code.

    If you make an artificial thing that really wants to do some specific thing, like a computer endlessly printing "hello world" millions of times a second, it's not surprising to see it do the thing it was created to do. I wouldn't say the computer "wants" to print hello world, so I don't see the dog as doing what it truly wants to do if it's a genetic predisposition human breeders forced into it. I see the expression of a society of dog breeders and people's idea of a game called "fetch" which was relatively easy to transition a species towards step-by-step using artificial selection.

  7. Like 10% of the entire human race is using their product.
  8. You get to live in a world where other people are slightly more productive.
  9. I wish there were less programming languages because every library needs to be rewritten as many times as there are languages, a combinatorial waste of time.

    Now that CoffeeScript is gone I would like to see all Ruby become Python.

  10. You usually just need to replace the front or back glass, which is $30 with Apple Care or $60 for both, not the entire iPhone. I crack mine about once a year.
