And beyond laws and customs, people need to be involved and pay attention to politics: "the price of liberty is eternal vigilance"

I wasn't discussing 'the presidency'. I'm saying it's easy to get involved - especially so for the local races that matter more to most people's lives in any case, where things like zoning and school curriculu

It's incredibly easy to get involved with people like Mamdani or Seattle's Katie Wilson or so many others, if that's your political angle. The same is true on the other side. We should be encouraging people to be more involve

Who you work with certainly matters, but it does show that it's incredibly easy to get a foot in the door with a lot of political things. People complain so much about politics as being this completely foreign and detached thing. But i

How long does it take to recoup the cost of the automobile and all the tech stuff they add to it?

I wonder what the non-subsidized price of a Waymo ride would be.

I took one in SF on a rainy, dark night when I was visiting a year ago. I was pretty impressed. That's not an easy city to navigate even on a sunny day and it did fine.

Beautiful, but I bet those things cost a boatload. Also, I don't know how much 'environmentalism' is the goal there, but most Americans' CO2 output on a personal level involves heating their homes and transportation, and

Getting a lot of GitHub errors trying to look at the source code. Still, pretty cool; I remember playing work as a kid.

As a practical matter, I don't think DHH is a Ruby internals geek, particularly, and seems to have other hobbies as well, so I don't think that's likely to even be a thing the community faces.

People want a lot of things, many of them conflicting. I'd love a huge house on a large lot in a walkable area and it to be cheap, and also close to nature. Letting markets work is a good way of resolving people's revealed prefere

Is there something that makes raccoons different than say cats in terms of rabies?

People want a place to call home. Those come in many shapes and sizes. Denser living does not mean a smaller living space. By building 'up', you can provide both. The only ones demanding anything are those who show up to try and s

A lot of housing politics from 'old school' environmentalist groups are a pretty big own goal as well. Denser urban living is pretty energy efficient, and forcing lengthy commutes on people because of NIMBYism is a huge waste.

That Newberry Crater one is really close to where I live and... it'd be so amazing if it came to fruition. It sounds almost 'too good to be true'.

It depends on how much they're actually doing in the service of science, and how much is "flashy AI stuff". I don't have a lot of hope that it's the former, to be honest. These people have burned up all their goodwi

Not much, but they do have "a cunning plan".

This looks like it's targeted at finding some obvious things, and if you know your table doesn't need a primary key, you could always exclude it from the report.

Maybe we should try the same thing with people running red lights.

Yeah that's a nope from me. Not going to click.

Yeah, I've really enjoyed the jobs where I got to use Erlang, but there haven't been enough of them. Even Elixir is kind of scarce.

Same guy as 'MongoDB is web scale'. I wish they'd done more videos; they're hilarious.

It could be a buddy movie where the grizzled guy (who uses emacs) and the uwu cat girl (who uses vim) grudgingly come to admire one another's skills and become friends.
