For a couple years I've been working on a personal Flask App that will collect and organize my SingleFile [1] downloads. Uses inotify to automatically detect a SingleFile generated html file and processes it into a database, where it a

He was rude, but he didn't initiate it. Frankly, he openly communicated his priorities (other things are on the list) and then got snark. So he responded in kind. Very little to blame the maintainer here.

The problem is that media organizations _do_ write hit pieces for political/agenda-driven reasons. A certain side of the political aside has been unhappy about Musk trying to acquire Twitter. We've already seen how the media treat

I would qualify this by saying the priors matter. Twitter has torched their credibility in a flaming dumpster fire. That changes how one might make assumptions.

It might be helpful to note that the moves form a group, but the puzzle itself is the group action of this group on the cubes/squares/pieces. In this context it reveals the usefulness of commutators, which are moves of the form AB

I wonder if you can formalize this a bit more. Let W(init,DC) be the initial cost (hours/effort) of writing Dirty Code (DC). Let's assume that the code works for the intended purpose and doesn't have any bugs. Let W(init,CC)

I lived at home and went to a state school around 15 years ago. At the time, in-state tuition was something like $10k/year. I got around $10k in scholarships, so my education cost roughly $30k or $41k in today's money. This means

One of the things that would be fascinating to see come out is how the company was run. I truly wonder if some scandalous manipulations and collusion will come to light.

Ways I think Twitter could immediately improve, from the perspective of users: - Optional verification check marks for anyone who wants them. Throw out the Blue Check status symbol. Offer "real person" twitter filter. - Transparen

It is obviously not an "expert" issue, but a values issue, which anyone is able to argue. In fact, this common equivocation of "expert knowledge" with "value judgments" is a scourge on our modern discourse.

Yes, this very much bothers me. You pay for streaming. How many streams do you want? Well, pay Netflix for that number. However you like to use those streams is up to you.

There is a tension between the two purposes universities have: To train students and to do research. I want both, but I have a hard time disapproving of more focus on training students, as they are the true customers of universities.

Of course it is here with us to stay. The point is that if the initial design was different, there would be fewer headaches. We certainly have the power moving forward. And as discussed in the article, a prompt is not enough to deter a user

How many years have we had to learn from people using programs to know that people make mistakes. Goodness knows how many people burned themselves using "rm". For that reason alone, "rm" is a bad tool, and should be repl

I feel like there should be an IDE tool that shows a dependency graph and you can click on each function to go to the code. Functions happen to live in the same file, but they can really be their own thing, especially pure functions. Even j
