We have nuclear power, but people are bad at evaluating risks, so here we are.

We already have instructions in widespread circulation about how to build your own nuclear weapon--the googling for it is pretty trivial. We're not up to our ears in homebrew nukes because making them is expensive, and that doesn&#x2

I don't understand why this hasn't been all over the front-page of HN. This is huge . The article in closing summarizes it neatly: > By eliding what's really at stake here—more a matter of free expression than any meanin

He was an ugly little goblin of a man, who made an empire by taking credit for engineering he himself couldn't do. He was hopefully the last of the great con men.

Yeah, this such a colossal mess. The thing is, if Wilson is not allowed to publish this information, it is a huge blow against freedom of speech and common-sense.

Touhou is, iirc, basically completely public domain. It's a gigantic, bizarre diaspora fueled entirely by dedicated fans. Everybody who thinks that copyright is required should see the success of 2hu.

But profits and copyright you see! If we allow piracy like that to exist, how will the owners of the copyright be able to ensure that the works are kept accessible?!

Except, it's really not. Boring "MIX_ENV=production mix phx.server" works just as well, and you can trivially add the stuff to make logging into a node easier. Everybody wants this tooling for deploying appliances when frankl

Time and timezones are basic functionality used in almost any app of substance. A modern language should have first-class support for these things. :|

I used to be really bullish on Elixir, but having used it in production for over a year (and having worked on libraries since '13), I think people are overselling the daily experience. The language itself is good, the tooling is pretty

SF ban in 2010 on Happy Meal toys, the overall pension crisis, the continuing debacle of the high-speed rail project there... One that seems to have actually worked was the ban on plastic bags.

And then they get hit with state income tax, which the state wastes on frivolous policies and nannying. No thanks.

Empire of Dust (2011), about a Chinese construction crew trying to get a road built. It made me reflect a lot on senior engineering and the zen of dealing with subideal circumstances.

There are some things I really like about it. The pattern-matching-esque syntax for queries, for example, is quite neat. The ability to do certain type of data munging, the easy use of JS to handle certain things, all good. But, the bread-a

Most products don't trash data and ignore almost every real-world usecase. MongoDB is a marketing meme that slowly has had a database built around it.

Literally the only things actually "wrong" with JSON (as opposed to complaints about developer ergonomics) are the lack of proper support for floating point special values (e.g., +inf, -inf, nan) and not having a date literal (RFC
