Data-driven X is a semantic trick to absolve people from owning their X and being accountable for it; decisions just happen to be the most damaging usage. Let data _inform_ you.

Multi-User Dungeon; Cf. MUCK for multi-user chat kingdom and friends. Essentially a shared text-only set of chat rooms with a theme and some built-in game logic.

I've still got an ICQ number that works, though I've not used it (prior to today) in at least a decade, probably two. Eight-digit starting with 1, so probably 1997-1998?

We’re getting there. I recently heard Linux described as “if the guy who designed Git made an operating system”.

Perhaps more interesting than the ostensible subject of this article is the casual acceptance of planet-scale geoengineering as a likely near- to mid-term occurrence and starting to think through some potentially unanticipated side-effects.

Data _can_ tell you what to do, but that doesn't mean your data selection and gathering was precise, right, and aligned to your actual best interests. Data-informed decisionmaking is great. Data-driven decisionmaking, not so much. You

A little tangential; were you satisfied with the dev work? Did you use a marketplace or an existing connection?

I'm also a girl dad (ages 3 and 4) and Bluey is a total favorite in our (mountain west US) household. In utter contrast to the singsongy dreck of CocoMelon and its imitators, our kids actually take away memorable lessons they enjoy (go

Getting more focused on a particular subtopic seems to be a good way to get somewhat more advanced material. PragProg has a bunch of books for the Elixir ecosystem that might be up your alley ( https://pragprog.com/titles&#x2

Any chance of a revised version one of these days? I, too, loved this book, but the ecosystem has moved far in the meantime & many of the examples no longer compile.

A simplistic framing my uncle gave me decades ago of party management that still holds water: “Democrats are stupid, and Republicans are mean”.

(Too late to edit, but append New Mexico to the list of states -- And New Mexico is cool! But if you're looking for density starting from Denver, it's unlikely to scratch that particular itch.)

I’d love to spend some time living in Montreal. It and Quebec City feel like as close as one can get to Euro living without hopping over the pond.

In terms of driving, this is 100% spot on. If you're hopping on an airplane, it's easy to forget how far _west_ Denver is--I say it's the middle of the country, but it's really not. LAX and surrounding airports are less

Yeah, central downtown's restaurant scene got really hollowed out by Covid and hasn't recovered. Heading immediately north from the west end of downtown into the River North district will get you more options if you visit again :)

Los Angeles strikes me as a reversal of the old adage: a great place to live, but I wouldn't want to visit there. It's not really my cup of tea (I walk everywhere), but the everything-access and relatively chill neighborhoods are

It is, and has been for a couple years! Currently weekends only, alas--but great, especially if you've got a place to stay up there. If you're in the Denver area & looking to get to the slopes without having to drive yourself,

Denver, CO, USA. Pros: Mountains! Nature access—it's a 90m drive to Rocky Mountain National Park, and plenty of world-class skiing, hiking, climbing, fishing, etc. within an hour or three. Culture is laid-back, friendly, and outdoorsy.

Good for them! We all share the same atmosphere.

While still not citing sources, I'd seen hypotheses that the leftward bias in USians may be due to driving on the left and consequently getting more rads through open windows on the left side. That seems at least less ridiculous than t

On second though, probably not; the same 7/8 bit settings plus parity and stop are available on non-POTS-dependent serial ports as well.

Ohhhh, is _this_ where the 7-bit transfer settings came from? That always seemed a weird number to me (unless a bit was instead repurposed as a parity bit).

HN has plenty of flaws and cultural issues, but the stated intention here is to promote discussion, not "user engagement". Where Twitter/X promotes outright lies, here I typically take more issue with folks' lenses and b

And those arguments are now getting attention and legal consideration now that they’re being posited by the rich and the well-capitalized. Some of these rhyme with the fair use and similar arguments put forth by the free software and anti-c
