   I really wanted to build something like this but never found the time. The challenge was ETL-ing all of the data provided by hospitals.

   In this case though, it's not a solution at all. The question isn't how producers of garbage produce less garbage, it's how consumers of content can avoid being inundated by garbage. We may well ask 'please don't pr

   You could only run a single engine per layout and switching could cut off the power. Now what I really wish they'd bring back is the Space Monorail...

    I think the one takeaway might be that Crypto people sre dishonest. The Media didn't fleece their customers out of billions of dollars.

    Imagine that every day for two years some folks showed up at your door trying to get you to join their UFO cult and every time you say 'actually, I'm pretty sure To Serve Man is a cookbook' then finally the mother ship arrive

    I could have used this when I was trying to write an interpreter in Rust. I might give it another shot. Trying to map the allocation behavior I wanted to Rusty constraints was a major source of friction and honestly soured me on Rust overal

    Yeah you may not realize that a significant fraction of people don't remember passwords at all and need to reset on every login. If you don't allow self serve password resets you're creating a huge customer service burden.

    I think that video media is for reasons I cannot explain, a far more effective persuasive tool than written media. If your internet diet is YouTube/TikTok you're definitely just as vulnerable.

    Can't wait for shovelware games that use nothing but these. But also something like Scribblenauts where arbitrary 3d objects can be created by wizards.

    They might be working on that article, but such an article will take time because they'll want to reach out to the anonymous posters and talk to them directly, find people who can do the chain analysis, verify people's stories, et
