The world has been on the bull run powered by QE and zero rates for 13 years or more, then the fun ended, and suddenly it's all the disasters in the world that will inevitably lead to a recession. When did the economists forget the ter

Data visualization. I had many years of experience with data analytics, but only when I read "Now you see it" by Stephen Few I started understanding how data visualization is linked to the way the human eye and brain work.

It's a very correct article. But here is a question: I run a software company and we're ready to pay for the FOSS we use in our product. Is there a convenient standard way to pay all the 50+ maintainers without having to spend yea

I'm afraid the author has a very wrong attitude for entrepreneurship. Entrepreneurship is not about following someone's advice mechanically or a guaranteed get rich schema. It's about building competence and understanding som

It's not really comparable. Northern US and Canada use way more salt on roads and it's not the regular salt (it's forbidden) but a pretty aggressive mix of various salts. I've never seen so many not so old but already ru

When I was at 7th grade I only knew BASIC. Then someone told me about Pascal and it blew my mind, because it didn't have the GOTO statement.

And yet, lots of people in pre-Musk times said "Twitter is not a government body, it's a private company, it can ban whoever it wants to ban". Now these people are leaving in droves. I hope it's a good lesson for everybo

I have a feeling that PG doesn't understand automation. Automation is just a tool to increase work productivity (and, consequentially, profits and salaries). Automation doesn't change the nature of relationship between an employer

The more I read about Mastodon, the more I think wont' take off (unless a deep redesign will be done) and the more I think ActivityPub will succeed. The problem with Twitter and Mastodon is that they both are based on poor abstractions

Is it possible to run a paid Mastodon instance? It would make sense, hardware resource bills (and work time of moderators) need to be paid.

It should be relatively straightforward with something like pushover.net (I'm not affiliated with them). Most low-code tools can send an API request.

The problem with the popular apple breeds is they are too sweet. Actually, sweetness is what makes them popular. I couldn't find fresh and not too sweet apple breeds in grocery stores in Canada.

In Ukrainian language words spell exactly how they are pronounced (unlike Russian, btw). It's very convenient. Every Ukrainian letter always corresponds to the same respective sound. You know exactly how to correctly pronounce any word

That sounds techno-utopian to me. You can't get around trust to people. Technology is run by people using rules and abstractions people agreed to adhere to.

Sounds like an interesting idea for reducing energy consumption. Homes already have air ducts for washers/driers. Why can't be something for fridges too? Home fridges are almost never moved anyway.

Let's not confuse necessary and sufficient here. Of course, they can charge money and show ads. Getting paid is necessary if we want social media to become ad-free and start catering to user needs, not to advertisers' needs.
