Having designed a good number of internal tools for teams of developers I couldn't agree more.

Earlier I had the tendency to "leave the guts" open, thinking my users were developers and would want that. All it did was put obstacles in my teammates actually doing their work. My teammates must use the tools I made for them to achieve work the company needs them to do, they don't want, nor should they want to, fiddle with a little tool they won't find anywhere else.

I still leave a lot of escape hatches, but I try to design the internal tools in such way as to make the users fall into a pit of success.

Edit: also, error messages, error messages, error messages and auto suggestions for common errors

Edit 2: also the number of people only addressing the examples in the post rather than the spirit of the post is... disappointing.

I love how new people keep discovering Ian's website (cf the xkcd 1053). It's a really well made website, the pictures and animations are very well chosen to explain knots and lacing.

I notice how the title by Ars Technica is much less baity than Nature: "Why have papers by one of history’s most famous physicists been retracted?" vs "Why did this journal retract two 1940s papers by Max Planck?"

Note that for little while now lazy iterators have been available:

- https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Refe...

- Array.prototype.values https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Refe...

This addresses a few criticisms here, and the main criticisms I had.

Cheekily, might not the "purist" want a "pot-au-feu" ? (i have a sincere dislike of purity talk, especially in cookery)

The article mentions it, but doesn't disprove it.

> Of course, there is indeed no shame. There is also no pride.

But there's is "pride" in making tools people actually use without issue

Couldn't you have used a subdomain "ai.mozilla.org" rather than a new tld? I'm guessing some marketing executives got involved?

4 か月前議論

I saw that, but anyone can link to anything. Luckily on mozilla.org there's a link to mozilla.ai, so that legitimizes it a bit. But that is not obvious.

Sorry, dumb question: is "mozilla.ai" related to "mozilla.org" and to the larger Mozilla organization? Because changing the tld makes this actually non-obvious. I see "mozilla.ai" and I think "someone is trying to phish".

Except a lot of actual, very smart, economists are for UBI or similar arrangements (it's not a settled matter). And geohot might be smart, but he's just a self described hacker.

If we're going to use authority arguments.

In C this kind of issue is so common it wouldn't raise to the status of "CVE". People would just shrug and say "git gud".

When the "classics" were decided to be "the classics" (by who? why? on what authority?) a lot of them were newer than Mickey Mouse is today.

I've been quite taken with Go these last few months and I wish the western world had more skilled players. The Asian servers do not do much (if any) i18n, they don't need to, they aren't many players outside Asia.

I've been fortunate that one of my high school friends is a 4 dan EGF player and that he has taken lots of time to play with me and teach me. But I can see other beginners struggling with the basics because they're only playing other low-skilled players.

I wish the western world paid Go more attention, it's a beautiful game with a really nice balance.

I've been writing code (and prose) with 3 vertical rulers for almost 10 years now: 66, 80 and 120 characters each. None of them are hard limits for me. But they do help guide my eye.

Most lines fit under 66. A lot more than 50%, even code written by other people. I'd say most lines also fit under 80, and very rarely do lines actually cross 120.

Yep, I looked it up a few hours after, different branches in the evolution of ML. Still weird to dismiss AlphaZero as just "playing games".

> This meant that while Google was playing games, OpenAI was able to seize the opportunity of a lifetime. What you train on matters.

Very weird reasoning. Without AlphaGo, AlphaZero, there's probably no GPT ? Each were a stepping stone weren't they?
