Don't write sentences. Write bullet points. Arrange those bullet points into groups. That becomes your table of contents. Continue to add more bullet points over time, and rearrange them as necessary. Eventually, you'll get the pi

Beautiful site. Can I ask how you made it? I see some mention of a Tailwind template for the landing page, but how did you do the secondary pages and the admin interface? The blog? Also, I see some mention of Vue. Did you do the admin inter

On the surface, this sounds like a fine thing. Who doesn't want accessible websites? But it really opens a can of worms. What's a place of public accommodation? With brick-and-mortar, it's easy; if you have a physical locatio

The UN can "force" rules upon us if we sign an agreement allowing them to do so. If we sign a treaty agreeing to abide by the rules set by a UN agency, then they can impose such rules, and under the US Constitution, such rules hav

Two thoughts: First, $12/pound is too expensive. Yes, I know you've got delivery and other costs, and it's best to start high. But know you'll need to reduce the price over time. Second, consider pitching this to the ket

I have written a Raft implementation in Java. If anyone from the Kafka project wants it, please contact me. It's not open source, but I own it and could make it so.

I love the Institute for Justice and the types of cases they take on. This one, unfortunately, is weak. If we say that paid health advice is protected speech, then we can no longer have licensing requirements for doctors who merely give adv

It bothers me that I see an increasing number of apps that run a local web server. I've got half a dozen apps, mostly development tools like pgAdmin, that force me to run the app and then access the UI through a browser. How many such

This is completely, utterly wrong. I was involved in a gerrymandering case in the 1990s. The group that brought me in was challenging the Illinois congressional map, which had been drawn by Democrats. It was, and is, atrocious. Back then, t

Because a voter's preference cannot be expressed solely through their affiliation with a political party. We look at gerrymandering through the lens of "fairness", and we find it unfair when one group cannot get reasonably pr

Very interesting. So how do you distinguish between the state and a branch or arm or subsidiary of a state? A department (say, the Department of Motor Vehicles) is clearly the state. What if a public university is operated just like a depar

Sovereign immunity is the legal doctrine that the government can't be sued for anything unless it specifically allows you to do so. In this case, Texas state law does not have a provision that allows it to be sued for copyright infring

My email appears in six breaches. Only one of the companies I recognize. I have never done business with the other five. This pisses me off. Not that the data was stolen -- these things happen. It pisses me off that my data was shared with

How are temp tables or CTEs more tightly tied to a schema than the original query? They both reference the same set of tables and columns, and both depend on indexes being in place. A schema change will break both, in equal measure.

It isn't clear to me why so few of these optimization articles talk about temporary tables. They are my go-to solution for many situations. Temporary tables are great because they break the problem down into smaller pieces. They make t

Hey Microsoft, if you're listening, you should throw Sonatype or other Maven-related organizations a few bucks. They deserve it.

This is really outstanding. It will mean the death of Maven Central, about which I have mixed feelings. On the one hand, Sonatype deserves enormous thanks for what they have done for the open source world, as does mvnrepository.org. Their c

Agree. That's the approach I took with Norm ( https://github.com/dieselpoint/norm ). The general idea is that I just wanted to get rid of JDBC boilerplate and use plain Java objects, but not stop using SQL. Being li

I remember reading that electric motors are much lighter than gas engines for the same amount of power. This difference can at least partially offset the added battery weight. Also, it's possible to have multiple, small electric motors

Yes. I did two implementations, one with plain text files and one with a kv store. For plain text files, I had to maintain file offsets of the records so I could traverse backward and truncate records that had to be replaced, and then break

I have a lot of questions about this paper. Parts of it aren't clear to me. Is anyone aware of a forum where consensus algorithms are discussed? A mailing list, subreddit, or website? I found a Raft mailing list a while ago, but I&#x27

To make it work with any kind of performance, all message passing needs to be asynchronous, and you need an event loop to process messages one at a time. Things are much simpler if your code is effectively single-threaded when processing an
