Over a decade ago, I had the chance to interact with at a startup with a Microsoft senior person who joined the firm as CTO. One piece of advice he gave stuck out: "Heroism doesn't scale" This wisdom of it was instructive (an

Thank you for your comment. It spurred me to think about this issue more thoroughly in a way I hadn't, even though this comment may disagree -- to some extent -- with your perspective. I have not seen clear guidelines about whether an

It’s not the US justice system, but Texas has a 2013 law to allow for review when science has changed, and shaken baby syndrome was one of the reason for that law. Still, when this case was reviewed under that law, the apellate court didn’t

Thank you, the second document was a helpful counterbalanced context to the original post and helpful in my assessment whether I should write the Texas governor for clemency. A lot of people have spent a lot of time reviewing this case. It’

Interesting thought, but if one is legislating a wage ratio, one can also outlaw outsourcing executive functions/positions above a certain level, no?

This technical arguments in this article aren't that coherent in my view. I'm not sure if this is the reporter's fault or some Couchbase marketing film-flam (err, which would still end up being the reporter's fault.)

100% agree. And once you are writing SQL views, why use PostgREST and not just use your own framework which abstracts away your choice of Postgres as backend database with something more database agnostic that can point to a view in any dat
