I’ve thought about doing this at work. Schedule an hour of programming once a day or once a week where others are free to join and watch, and comment or otherwise engage, or not.


Earth by David Brin and Ender’s Game made some predictions in this area


Also William Gibson and other cyberpunk franchises. A big recurring theme is the lost fight against corporate interests. A bit worse than the state our world is in right now but certainly where we're heading.


I vaguely remember “The Nets” in Enders game but not how they functioned. What about Card’s portrayal did you find prescient?


Card's idea that everyone could publish and excellent voices would be amplified was correct in premise, though it's conclusion was completely off. Classic XKCD parodied it brilliantly IMHO: https://xkcd.com/635/


Depends on how you use it, but in Java I prefer to use interfaces and no subclassing. I find classes with abstract methods hard to reason about, and much prefer to leverage Functions/lambdas where possible.

there have been other posts related to Arena based allocation on hn recently and I was grateful because it wasn’t something I was aware of. I found this interesting - I see this post is part of a trend.


The following sentence in the article jumped out at me: “The difference is that you are not dealing with the unreliability of UDP like TCP is.” This reads to me like TCP is built on top of UDP, which at one time I thought to be the case, but it’s not.

Karabiner Elements is great for doing this kind of remapping on macOS

The equivalent for Windows would probably be AutoHotkey

OS X can natively set Caps Lock (or any of the other modifiers) to CTRL,ALT,CMD,Esc,Caps. in the Keyboard Pref Pane at least as of 10.13.

Of course Karabiner can do quite a bit more than that. But if you can't or don't want to install more software it's a choice available to you.
