deranged version number practices: - treating version numbers as a single decimal number. I know one project that refers to its latest release as both version 1.8 and version 1.80 - unnecessary qualifiers, like "v1.0.2 Hotfix 3". just increment the patch part of the version number!

What do you do when you build a product that the world desperately needs, but by design does not offer a return on investment?

The worst kind of open-source devs are ones that act like you need to ask them before making a contribution.

Laptops were cool and all, but my tablet-first workflow makes me feel like I'm living in a world beyond the technology of Inspector Gadget.

"Philosophers say that consciousness is a structural phenomenon of how information flows / how causal relations are meshed.... but what if the structures were made out of cheese???? Sounds silly now doesn't it???" Political pundits suddenly opining on phil of mind has been pure torture.

Posts like this are why I’m obsessed with my latest personal project. It’s designed for you and your friends/family to have your own digital infrastructure. No BS, just a collection of hardware shared among approved parties. I’m so excited to see this sentiment gaining popularity.
