Nix throws sparks, but I'm still cautious about who I recommend it to and how. I understand why there's consternation about usability (and a steady stream of requests focused on helping novices get it up and running), but I'm

A couple weeks ago I was trying to decide whether to use a project that appears to be unmaintained these days. I noticed a sad game being played in the issue comments, where existing users of the project keep wishing aloud for someone to fo

I think there's some accidental synecdoche here. At least for those of us endowed with the gift/curse of forming memories as life rushes by, they can appear to be composed of details our senses perceived around us enmeshed with de

I don't think it's so much comprehension that suffers. I comprehend, but... I have no strong concept of the sensory world of the text. I have a very, very vague impression of what a character looks like. I'm prone to forget e

Cool. Thanks. Was wondering if it was something intrinsic to the logging system. I find Console a little easier to explore in, but the log command much better for most things beyond that. I suppose it might be ripe for wrapping with a TUI t

Curious if using `log stream` with predicates is better, from a performance perspective at least?

Thanks for pointing to this. I missed it yesterday. A little disappointed in Reuters for the handling of this. I wish news outlets were treating direct reporting of single-study-preprint (i.e., just credulously reporting the preprint's

Thanks for providing a link. For anyone else who comes along, the supporting statement isn't very prominent; you can find it in: "If you test negative" > "You could still have a current infection." > 2nd sub-b

Not that I have any knowledge of whether anyone is running PCR tests on valid random population samples, but I suspect the concern is that this isn't happening, and that any followup study you could do on these positives will have bias

Is this actually a shellcheck error? It just evaluates to the integer number of arguments in $@, so I doubt it is (and I doubt it matters whether it's quoted? unless there's a bash back-compat issue here?)

I got the option to opt into this "feature" a few (4? 5?) days ago. I've been intending to give feedback, but haven't had time, yet, to take screenshots and marshal my thoughts. I don't want to over-perform it, but

I think sradman means that Nix enables IHP to guarantee the presence of postgres, rather than relying on the user to ensure pre-requisites get installed. Edit: Gah. :)

Right (likewise commenting on your note, and not on this product)--we need development down multiple tracks... maybe: 1. data/info-skepticism 2. data/info-literacy 3. soundly interpreting data/information 4. data/info-in

It may not always matter or be distinguishable, but don't lose sight of the fact that there is a difference between having opinions, and having partisan opinions. I think one of the things ailing us is that cynical partisans have bee

According to the site ( https://blog.conifer.rhizome.org/2020/06/11/webrecorder-coni... ), webrecorder is becoming Conifer, so I'm guessing they've renamed the project but not transferred it yet.

I think that would be a step in the right direction, but it may not help users arriving by search engine. I can imagine 3 things that might help: 1. Add an age-weighted score (and maybe sort by it) to make it easier to distinguish between a

I don't think you've found bedrock. Don't confuse being able to measure something with attempts to explain what the measurement means. Even if everyone agrees the mathematically-perfect face or landscape is beautiful, "w

I'm also interested in this (or something more actively-developed), as it's the first time I've seen what looks like an answer to a question I've had recently. If it helps to know how someone else thinks about it: I&#x27

Curious what you think about something, since it seems like you've been iterating on the challenge of a big interactive graph lately. I've been pondering building a big interactive chart, like a decision tree or differential diagn

The current title calls it a "react Dropbox Paper clone". Since you use it, I'm curious if you have a sense of how close it gets, and what the gaps are?

You might find the Nix package manager fruitful. (Fair warning: Nix isn't "easy", but it is powerful. It takes some work to find your sea legs.) It isn't always possible, but Nix places a lot of emphasis on building soft

I agree with the core premise (scholarships of society are more reflexive), but this nonetheless made me wonder about the relative rates of incarceration and suspicious death among practitioners of the various arts and social sciences.

Kinda funny, I guess. This is one of those instances where I might care about the case Konnikova was making if she bothered using any quantitative methods to convince me the humanities were awash in quantitative study while qualitative anal

This reminded me a little bit of a writing-pedagogy course I took, where we had recurring discussions about the difference between being a gate-way and a gate-keeper. These discussions circled around the power and responsibility we'd h
