For sure and to be completely clear, I don't want to stay inside, I just think it's the most responsible move. Like you said though it comes down to priors, and I'll add risk tolerance, and some pro-social behavior (I won&#x2

Tell me about it. I'm now very mildly asthmatic and had pneumonia and bronchitis often as a child. I know what not breathing, and chronicly not having a strong respiratory system can be like and most people don't. I think that rea

Just a quick search on scholar shows me at least 5 studies into the impacts for a more rigorous analysis. Plus anecdotally I'm in NYC and since the stay at home order reached full strength the 3 day rolling average of infections has be

Yeah plenty of time for workplaces to do that for you. I can count on my hand the number of times something has been a hard deadline. This teacher taught a valuable lesson usable for the rest of the student's carreers and "the mos

Not ideal, but it's not like it couldn't be migrated to another language and COBOL docs are readily available to at least understand the language. We would find a way.

This impacts an app I've built for reading academic papers but I imagine the work around here is to write to a file periodically and then load the file in if you don't detect indexedDB having the data you think it should. Obviousl

Nice to see CSAW represented so much there. Shout out from an OSIRIS Lab alum.

I mean it was enough of a difference that a lot of Googlers were confused by it too. That said, I hear the internal memes this spawned are on point.

The game industry treats people horribly and there is obvious collusion to keep wages suppressed I would expect attempts to form unions there. I'm still however not sold on the idea that tech in general needs unions, but am open to the

Not OP but, it is my understanding Amazon Web Services is their biggest money maker, that's where I think that claim comes from.

It's not which is why their comments are confusing to me too and also highly anecdotal. I know just as many half life fans who are super excited for it.

I read this as a dev war story, and as a person venting. I would have the same condescending sarcastic attitude while doing it if I was venting too. I also know a lot of people who like my sarcasm when talking about topics like this, so yea

So we didn't pick specific repos, but we crafted a function based on some metrics we we're using from Github that had a sharp drop off after a certain point and basically -any- super common or well known repo would be down ranked

It's tuned towards discovery, so if you search a topic you'll get results for smaller, new repos that do something around that topic. We deliberately hard downranked common repos but it's also 2 months out of date now since t

Yup there is (alpha.whize.co) the question mark at the top links to a blog post with our broader goals though we've refined them a bit since that post. I'll warn you though, the alpha has a really limited index (github results) bu

That's an interesting process, I'll have to give it a try ;) I mentioned it above but Google has also been giving me worse results in recent years so I genuinely believe there's a better way to do these things and do them in

Many times purely business folks don't take the time to understand tech as it has a higher initial learning curve and so its a black box domain for them. Not that they need to achieve high mastery over it but a little understanding goe

These are great! I'm in a position where I have to teach people about query optimization often enough and using some combination of these visualizations will help get the point across in a more friendly way. So far screenshots of the e
