Library of Congress might be a reasonable place, albeit still with selection bias.

I don’t love that tweet because it’s not the suffering, but the fact the diamonds were naturally grown in the Earth. Put another way: why would anyone buy sea salt when can we produce pure NaCl? (This is not to say you can or should ignore

There are significantly better options here, e.g. by moving assets into a blind trust while in office.

We recently switched from Rust to Elixir on a new service in no small part to this. The idea of sharing objects through Tokio async processes felt difficult compared to this being a first class feature of Elixir. It’s not that it’s hard, pe

My biggest concern is that my siblings and parents have all signed up. So (more or less) my DNA is in this database, even though I have never interacted with the organization.

Probably should add "in SpaceTode" to the title.

I also love thinking through how to store data, e.g. in Redis, and aligning it with your access patterns. The biggest challenge I’ve faced is that access patterns tend to change over time and Redis isn’t flexible (e.g. you use an HSET to pu

This would be more akin to being logged in to a specific site with a JWT than to tracking writ large. Basically, if your site has access to this secure key, then it already knows who you are (i.e. because you are logged in). This key would

Here’s the report: https://getcruise.com/news/blog/2023/human-ridehail-crash-ra... Biggest question is if the miles driven by autonomous vehicles are the same likelihood of crash as the non-autonomous miles d

I’m not sure I agree with the premise. Given the examples in the article, seat space is not limited just to upsell customers. Smaller seats means more fares. Similarly, priority boarding became a thing when airlines started charging $40 f

Isn’t there also a concern on battery quality? If batteries are expensive, then you don’t want to swap a good one for an older or reduced capacity battery, but you would have no way of knowing a priori how good the replacement might be.

The RTT would need to be very low. It’s hard to have a conversation with 2-3 second pauses.

In the above referenced example, it would say “or” if it means what Kagan implies. Cut it down to two items: “Do not: drink and drive” clearly allows the exclusive use of either.

A huge portion of my actions are for things like caching or publishing artifacts, which are unique to actions itself.

If those hydrogen and oxygen atoms had not previously been bonded into H2O, you would have to say this is “new” water, right?

I search a lot for programming topics and when I get frustrated I switch to Google and get literally the same results. I’d say it’s pretty good for web search and keeps up to date. The downside is things like Sports and other knowledge item

Maybe a good place to ask this question: I recently wanted to share lib code between three separate codebases (JavaScript, Swift and Kotlin). I considered writing it in a wasm-compatible language and sharing it as a wasn module. Curious if

I’ve wondered this my whole life. Dishwashers are the Pareto principal in real life form. Do 80% of the work yourself first…

I feel the easiest path around this is to use wireless charging instead of plugging into a multi-use port. As we have seen operationalized USB attacks, I don’t quite buy the premise of the article.

Do you mean Neobanks that generally attach to existing banks through partnerships? The OCC nearly stopped granting de novo banking charters since 2008: https://crsreports.congress.gov/product/pdf/R/R47014 (se

I guess my question is: as you invent new phrases to describe more complex words, aren’t you effectively expanding the size of the language, even if this is “implicit”? Snowman in English is counted as a word, for instance. The advantage he

Sure, but why not just not use services you don't like? Other than maybe Twitter, those services all appear opt-in.

I've had this problem a lot when I use a VPN. You're served a captcha that is impossible (I choose all of the correct squares and it still fails), and then I'm given a captcha with the ultra-slow click and reload images. At t

I just want to upvote this so much. For those unaware, Scheherazade is the narrator from 1001 Nights, where she tells a story to her partner every night, since he otherwise would kill his lover in the morning due to his jealousy. He falls a

Not sure I believe in 'security by not finding the link'-- links get leaked through a variety of means that don't imply consent (e.g. browser history, metadata requests, or reshares).

My spitball solution is to add an excise tax on revenue based on market concentration, potentially paid back to consumers or new market entrants. So if you own 50% of a market, maybe you pay a 25% excise tax, and thus the market finds an eq

I surmise that love or hate for a language is closely coupled with its stdlib. My favorite languages (Elixir, Rust) have some of the best standard libraries (and even, Go, for instance, includes JSON encoding and decoding in its own). This

Yeah MDN is the de-facto reference guide for web frameworks. W3schools feels like beginner tutorials. For me, I want “what happens if I pass undefined as the second arg to this function” and w3schools doesn’t answer that. It’s fine as a sit
