I can't tell you how much I love that your first example of contrast failure is HN.

> Our favorite orange website isn't leading by example, either. Some comments are almost unreadable

Orca is amazing, and it's creator Devine Lu Linvega is inspiring too.

Listen to this future of coding podcast where he is interviewed about Orca: https://futureofcoding.org/episodes/045 and about making your own tools: https://futureofcoding.org/episodes/044

The Future of Coding podcast is a treasure.

Edit: excerpt from the Devine Lu Linvega's intro:

  -----

Devine Lu Linvega and his partner Rekka live on a sailboat. He makes art, music, software, and other cultural artifacts. When Photoshop’s DRM required that he maintain a connection to the internet, he wrote his own creative suite. When his MacBook died in the middle of the ocean, he switched to Linux with hardware he could service. His electricity comes from solar panels, and every joule counts — so that’s out with Chrome and Electron and in with Scheme, C, assembly, and maybe someday Forth.

For a 2x speed up, I am not sure I would be willing to sacrifice legibility as in the example. The OOP method definition reads like english.

The article suggests the true benefits of DOP aren't all that great unless you understand the target architecture.

I feel like the pendulum is at its new zenith.

The cynical anti-intellectualism in this thread is bracing.

All part of the zeitgeist I guess.

News is fake. Science is fake. Schools are barriers. Everything is subjective, objective reality is nonexistent.

How do we have productive disagreements going forward?

Is there an open directory of radio stream URIs?

Like if I wanted to build my own tiny radio streaming client, where would I look for the streams?

I tried snooping the network tab in dev tools on Radio Garden, but couldn't see many requests that weren't either grabbing map tiles, or connecting to Radio Garden itself.

I am old enough to remember when US media was lobbing criticism at China for downplaying the threat to the public.

We are what we think China is.

'responding to it' is engagement, and there is a financial incentive for that.

So the algos are boosting controversy, to boost engagement, to boost financials.
