Good organizations know how to get people who think broad to collaborate with people who think deep. Some organizations culturally value the broad thinkers better, while others value the deep thinkers. I think the reckoning here is really a

I really admired Gregg early on in my career. He gave a fantastic talk in Austin, Texas back in about 2007 or 2008 for a Semantic Web Meetup (at a venue called "The Boom Boom Room" funnily enough) back when I was working as the re

Wow, didn't even see much about how miserable using the sync_to_async and async_to_sync transformers are. In general, the architectures developed because of the GIL, like Celery and gunicorn and stuff like that, handles most of the pro

This is a nice one! Reminds me of the [beer garden analogy]( https://www.stevetecharc.com/blog-posts/understanding-oauth-... ) which I also thought was a good entree into OAuth.

If you've already done the work figuring out how to knock out a basic web app deployment of kubernetes for a project that you think will grow, then I say go for it. It's not much cheaper than buying a reasonable minimum amount o

This does seem like "Sky blue and water wet" sort of reporting, but that's just because of the daft headline. When most people are challenged with affording the basics, that points to a severe economic risk. We've lived

Can someone double-check my understanding of this? Double is a portfolio management service that purchases shares that match the blend of a specific index for its customers. So instead of owning an index, you own the shares. Double is windi

I've been waiting for bitcoin to collapse since it started, and books like Number Go Up make an excellent case for why the whole thing is built on a house of cards. And yet, empires are bought and sold off of questionable financial veh

Huge yes to this one -- especially on the part about how important this is for managers to get right. I spent two years white-knuckling the wrong job for the wrong reasons. Pretty much every day I am reminded in some way of how thankful I a

How did it perform against a boglehead portfolio? Were fees and commissions included? Seems weird to evaluate performance over a single year for trades. Much more interested in long-term growth over one or more market cycles.

Insightful words from the Coldplay guy. In all seriousness, there is definitely the comfortable lie of nostalgia playing into a lot of the dudes approaching (or squarely in) middle age as far as tech goes. It's truly a bummer that they

Great seeing Ray Mooney (who I took a graduate class with) and Emily Bender (a colleague of many at the UT Linguistics Dept., and a regular visitor) sharing their honest reservations with AI and LLMs. I try to stay as far away from this stu

A nice measured perspective / retrospective on the long-term impact of two of Urban Planning's big cornerstone books. Sort of suggests that the passage of time is a moderating force for both sides of the aisle.

mIRC was my favorite app back in the '90s. Without it, I wouldn't have been able to spend like two days downloading The Decline from NOFX over a 56k dial-up connection. Honestly I'd probably still be using it if DALnet hadn&#

Yeah, it can't be understated how much was lifted. Chakobsa, the Kindjal, etc. Shamyl even acts like Atreides with regards to how he uses "visions" to drive important political decisions.

It sounds like the data set they use is designed to teach what logical fallacies are, which makes sense that it would do fine with it. I doubt this would do well against real-world language with things like structural ambiguity, anaphoric

A comment mentions it, but Sabres of Paradise is another key component to understanding Dune as a referential text as it pertains to imperialism and religious fervor as an insurrectionist response.

For folks who don't want to read a tome like The High Cost of Free Parking, give Paved Paradise by Henry Grabar a shot. It's a lot of the same content, but punchier with a lot fewer facts and figures making much the same point.

For folks interested in finite-state transducers and other kinds of tooling available, check out XFST (Xerox Finite-State Transducer), which has been used in computational linguistics applications for a good 20 years now. I remember a Finni
