   I don’t know how I feel about this. In the general case, I feel like price gouging during emergencies is unethical. But, when there is a non-artificial supply and demand issue, I struggle with the derivative effects of these policies. My co

   I have documented a moderately complex package in RST [0]/[1] and another in MDX (and a mix of MD & JS) [2]/[3] and have tons of $company docs written in MD. My thought is that RST is probably closer on the spectrum to LaTeX (

   I remember the days of early social networking: I.e. pre-mass networking like we have now with FB, Twitter, YouTube, TikTok, etc. It seemed then that more individuals participated then, than do today (literally, those Sam individuals have f

    Sure dude. And as a driver on a motorbike, how about you stay off your cell phone while driving. And, as I frequently see here in California, how about you all also stop smoking blunts while driving? I should mention that a lot of motorcycl

    I read Quanta (via RSS) and often can only make it 1/2 to 2/3 the way through an article before giving up. Today I figured out why: the punchline is absolutely buried. > Another property of ultra-stable glass would eventually r

    For better or worse (or better in this case, I believe), I don’t know the famous dude. I won’t tell you my bonafides, either. If you’ve got someone with a particular skill set joining your project, that’s great that you’ve got strong, addit

    MERN => Mongo, Express, React, NodeJS. Which is an evolution (as far as I can tell on) MEAN => Mongo, Express, Angular, NodeJS. But really, NodeJS is unnecessary in the acronym, but is used to make a backronym. Really - how do you run

    Question I desperately want the answer to: if memories are encoded (nature not nurture), then how far back can we remember? And where is this intuition derived from? For example, we can almost imagine what memories are shared to us from 3-4

    Having built UI frameworks myself, this looks so well put together. Is there anything like this for iOS / SwiftUI? Having begun playing cross platform, I feel like I’m needing to reinvent every non-trivial element.
