I would much rather see these billions spent on fusion research. Right now, we don't even know if humanity as we know it will be around in 100 years to reap the potential benefits of particle physics knowledge.

Thanks, I missed that. It was at the end of a section that started with "Fournier isn’t your cookie-cutter politician. A firefighter since the age of 18, ..." so I assumed the whole section was going to be a backstory on the perso

Very sparse on details. What gives these wooden dollars any value? Why would I, as a local business owner, accept them? How do I pay for supplies and stock I get from outside the community, if all I have are these wooden dollars and no fede

Google had a project called Carlo to do this: https://github.com/GoogleChromeLabs/carlo But it's been discontinued now that the devs left the company. I also see this project but you have to write Go to talk to th

21% sounds much closer (eg. months) to herd immunity than previous estimates (eg. up to a decade).

Love it! It's great to see web design finally start to scale to large and wide screens. I hope this is the start of a movement. Have you seen pressreader.com's layout? eg. https://thewashingtonpost.pressreader.com&#x2

You're subscribing to the notion that it's good to put all your styles for all components in one file. Since the invention of variables, that is wrong. Theming is no longer a valid argument for centralized style sheets. If you

The original argument for CSS from 20 years ago was: Instead of saying: `<font size="20"><b>Some heading</b></font>` 100 times, CSS proponents would tell you to just write `<h2>Some heading&

I also started coding when CSS Zen Garden was the best thing ever but sorry, CSS in JS is better. With classes and a separate stylesheets, there are no statically analyzable connections between them. You typo a class name? Too bad. You&#x27

The code for material design components is crazy complicated because it was designed by UX designers for multiple platforms with little engineering input.

I rent a studio in NYC for $2500/mo ($30k/yr). It's within a 12 minute walk to Google and a 12 minute bike ride to FB. Also close are Amazon, Twitter, Spotify, Uber, etc. You don't need to be at the company headquarter

For Google, Zurich has slightly higher salaries but half the RSUs compared to SV. But taxes and housing are lower in Zurich, so. Comp isn't based on what's important for the business; it's based purely on market reference pr

We need to cut the myth that these salaries only exist in Silicon Valley. Seattle and NYC also offer otherworldly packages. Google (and probably other FAANGs) also pay extremely well in Boston, Los Angeles, Boulder, Chicago, Austin and Zuri

This is just as true for new SF as for the old, and I love it. eg. Andy Weir: https://io9.gizmodo.com/read-an-excerpt-from-andy-weirs-spac... > Hermes is powered by ion engines. They throw argon out the back of the ship

Nice. I like the SSR and that subsequent page loads are basically just a 5KB fetch of pure content in JSON. But if I go to a content page (eg. https://www.beyonk.com/uk/6Gb_Kj/guided-ascent-of-curved-rid... ), I s

It's interesting how clearly we see the effects of the English -> Korean -> English translator. Where Obama referred to "proportional response", this statement directly quotes it as "symmetric counteraction".

The article demonstrates in what way Chinese is so damn hard, but it doesn't explain why it's so hard. How did it come to be this way? How did this civilisation not only survive, but prosper, despite such a exclusionary langua

Not in this case. If you accidentally `:w! thesis.txt`, persistent undo isn't going to help you.

The privacy policy link (international version) points to a page written in Serbian. For a campaign all about privacy, really surprised about this. Sorry, I can't give you my name and email if I can't read your privacy policy.

Spot on. What I find amazing is how people use the nubs on Lenovo laptops. Those joysticks give you control of not the position, not the velocity, but the acceleration - the second derivative.

The problem that --rebase patches up is the ugliness of merge bubbles in git. As soon as you have a merge bubble, tools like gitk won't tell you which is the actual mainline because it's not recorded, and you end up trying to make sense of

This is exactly the philosophy that Google Wave had, except they called it an "optimistic" UI - it always assumes that every action will succeed on the server side. It solved all these problems mentioned and more - for example, it used the
