I find the process of writing database access functions annoying, and for the most part, arbitrary and repetitive. ORM functionality that bakes types/accessors, migrations, graphQL, and even infrastructure into your codebase is where

I too am extremely opposed to any and all non-consenting invasions of digital privacy (i.e., the problem isn’t the known-known of what you upload, but the hidden implications of it), but on the contrary, I make a disciplined effort to make

Unix philosophy for services encourages the user to model their problem rather than their architecture. Edge computing is a brewing shitstorm at companies which are not trending in this direction.

Reading even deeper, there is further subtext where individuals with backbone will work from home if they want to. I see “do what you think is right”, with a first hand example of the owner of the company doing both at once.

Slate Star Codex is one of my favorite blogs, much needed corporate and political philosophy. The musings on Moloch are psychedelic :) It’s interesting to me also how these sorts of “skeptic” blogs are such strong affirmations of faith for

The tetragrammaton is a 4-letter name of God, and a conceptualization of - somethingness - becoming observable/“contrasty” - germinating - and becoming self-aware (and an applied practice) Like a stack overflow of reality. It is one

Probably also adjusts delivery priority and improves battery life. Apple’s APIs are really good about exposing specific use-cases as separate functions and enums.

Kabbalah and the associated mysteries; BOTA has great coursework on the tarot that teaches to the Hebrew roots. To me the tetragrammaton is a logical proof that approximates an “initial commit”.

Which represents the “breath of life”, and all possible things it can become.

In another way it makes sense, divergent thinking is tolerated for the very purpose of evaluating how effective new ideas are, and we ourselves tolerate being weird because we believe we can prove something new. One decides how far to push

“Individual” and “collective” is a fundamental/metaphysical concept. General purpose AI probably will have a concept of individual influence/veto among its “nodes” so that it is capable of self organizing and reorganizing. It rem

I think they created the expectation of vertical integration too. “Amazon does it better and quicker”, a retail customer might think, as they peruse possible cloud providers. Amazon is an incredibly sticky brand because they created expect

On the road to R# I guess. I guess shipping Windows API cargo crates makes too much sense. Does anyone have any context for gaps in Rust they are addressing? In TFA it mentions that ownership will be based on groups of objects, but I’m not

“Capitalist discourse” in Lacan’s theory of discourses reminds me a bit of this; it is essentially the realization of “new” constraints, ex nihilo, that can be reorganized and resolved. The methods in the article are almost like further sub

“Gnosis”, is this rooted in Gnostic or neoplatonic philosophy? Or just the name of knowledge.

You may be able to turn it off. I just went into my Vizio M’s settings menu for the first time in forever and low and behold a ToS for “Automated Content Recognition” shows up before I can access the settings. They make it sound so cool.

Could you also view this through the lens of all social bubbles, especially online ones with weighted ranking of popular opinion, being detrimental to one’s concept of truth? In real life we have very different inputs and outputs and sense

Another value of their large network, WeWork has relationships with large companies (like Amazon) to manage satellite offices across the country. Some of those are just a corner of a WeWork carved out, and some of those are entire floors o

AWS runs on servers, electricity, and drives like the rest of the internet. If your application and data are single-AZ it is not fault tolerant. If that datacenter goes down or the EBS volume fails, at the very least your application will

Very good question, and the only justification I can come up with is the opportunity to beam truth out from within. This at some times more than others seems like enough, if no one else takes responsibility. We are hard wired to seek meani

One piece of evidence is that men have a flatter distribution of outcomes and more often than women are falling off either end of the chart, for better and worse. All it takes is a look at those OkCupid studies for rating distributions to s

It’s a commoditized market and Apple’s success blueprint is out for everyone to see, yet no one else can adapt mid century design principles and “high fashion” style marketing to technology. This sounds like shilling (and I do own Apple st

I work for AWS. There is typically a balance that has to be struck when sharing information with customers. I would imagine this goes for most companies, which is why it isn't until a post-mortem that the messaging is fully refined.

I did a PID mod on mine when I bought it around 5 years ago and love it. Built like a tank, and looks more commercial than similarly priced machines if that means anything to you.

My thoughts: Apple Music is so much more baked into the Apple ecosystem, isn’t a rip off (as I might expect), and doesn’t have crappy selection (as I was afraid of — it has pretty much all of the niche stuff I didn’t expect it to). iCloud a
