My favourite aspect of this is that the name EPA is coming from a long-since closed chain of stores selling low-quality products, and the teenagers driving these vehicles have for sure never seen one.

What I expect from leading experts is to give clear opinions and recommendations based on their best assesment of the situation given available data. I also expect them to quickly and humbly adapt to new evidence when it is found, while kee

I'm very sorry to hear you are not following the recommendations of Swedish authorities, I would strongly recommend you do, because they are contrary to what you claim here, not actually based on Tegnells personal whims or vanity, but

I think this is decidedly unfair critizism, and is based on cherrypicking statements out of context especially regarding timing. The statement about the Alps/Southern europe has for sure been shown to be false in retrospect, but when i

I think the most obvious examples are: * Closing borders when we already have a pandemic in all countries. Swedish borders are still open. * Closing schools when most evidence shows that it is not effective. Swedish schools are still open.

This is an excellent example, the chief epidemiologist in Denmark had a clash with the Danish PM about this, because evidence does not support closing borders as an effective policy when we already have a pandemic. In Denmark, the measure w

Swede here. There is lots of disinformation about the Swedish approach to the epidemic. Sweden is following the same basic strategy as other countries, which is to slow down the spread by mitigating actions so the health care system can cop

I have only encountered public SQL APIs in the wild once, and at that time it made me very happy. I was building a scraper for a manufacturer of bicycle parts that shall remain unnamed. Scraping the whole database using a single SQL query w

The tagline of Datasette is "A tool for exploring and publishing data", to me it makes a lot of sense that SQL (with appropriate restrictions) is a suitable API for the kinds of things you want to do with datasets. This is not rea

While I have also seen many poorly secured GraphQL API:s, this seems like an unfair criticism. To me GraphQL is mostly an alternative to REST, which also has no authorization or authentication by default, that is a orthogonal concern, but y

I responded in a twitter thread[1], unrolled here here: As all good things in life, and programming, this is a tradeoff. GraphQL is better when what you are requesting is best expressed as a tree (or a "graph", though only the DAG

The author makes a benchmark that compares a go program that explicitly buffers many "hello world" strings, and compares this to an assembly program that does not do this, then goes on to argue that this shows that high level lang

In my team, we have started using these rules to address the code review lag-time: * While you are waiting for code review, review someone else's code * Aim for reviewing two CR:s per CR you submit. This has helped us both keep on top

I am actually very excited about this direction for Gtk. If Qt is the stable and serious cross-platform UI library for corporate stuff, why not let GTK be the awesome experimental UI library that breaks everything every 6 months, and keeps

The simple explanation is that Semantic Versioning is not at all the only way to do versioning, it is just one standard amongst others. Of course semver is progress in the sense that it has a specification that means you can assign meaning
