Supply and demand. Among many other changes, the demographics of the typical Boulder resident changed significantly - originally nature lovers and hippies for whom earning money was not a primary motivation - post-2000 shifted to educated,

Kind of a weird flex - you're basically saying that you aren't any better than the Indian teams at writing efficient queries or optimizing existing ones, the only talent you've demonstrated is ability to ask Claude Code. It&#

Lol, your position is, don't watch tv, just watch YouTube. That's not really a radical shift. Fine if it works for you, but TV has plenty of things going for it... big screens, watch from 10 ft away on a couch, watch with other pe

C'mon buddy, you joined a near 20-year-old company that has never defined its own raison d'etre (or didn't stick to it), never really found a niche in the marketplace, never been particularly profitable, has been passed aroun

To be fair, if you manage to stay employed for 30 years before people determine your skills are sub-standard, that's a lot better than most. But I generally agree with your point.

You said: I mentioned the Vimeo thing in a meeting this morning, and the head of Communications immediately said he's going to start looking for alternatives. And now you're saying he might have a "cronjob" constantly

by listenallyall 9mo ago
I'd question why your "head of Communications" isn't already aware of alternative vendors for important pieces of their domain. After all, companies go out of business, get bought out, change pricing all the time. And Vi

As a reader, can you summarize what Alexander is referencing in the two quoted paragraphs that overcomes his initial doubt and decides "after his death is the best time to disagree"? The only thing I can possibly see is Adams writ

a) my initial comment was a response to someone who called the essay "brutal." Indeed, there are some tender passages, but it feels like on balance, Alexander was more interested in getting his attacks in than the nicer stuff. In

If you're just now hearing about something which is "somewhat widespread" (your words) maybe that's a "you problem" Were you caught off-guard when Scott Alexander wrote, of his own essay, I previously felt bad

Scott Alexander waited. He could have written this post much earlier, when Adams was alive and could respond (if he felt it was worthy of such). Or, he could have said nothing at all about Adams when he died. Even Alexander admits "it

by listenallyall 9mo ago
Its cowardly because he had plenty of opportunities to write this piece or to criticize Adams in other ways while he was alive and could respond . The bulk of the essay is about books over a decade old, which Alexander had read long ago. T

by listenallyall 9mo ago
But this wasn't an obituary. It wasnt a recalling of facts about his life. It wasnt written for a news outlet which publishes obits about most notable figures. It was an opinion piece and a discussion of how Adams affected the writer.

by listenallyall 9mo ago
That's fine - the man was certainly not above being criticized, and he had plenty of flaws. Point is, do it while he's alive, don't wait until he's dead (especially when his death was not a surprise)

Less about the degree to which Adams was talented (which, as you note, Adams might agree), more about how much his books sucked and the ideas within them were ridiculous, arguing that Adams' claims regarding hypnosis were entirely bogu

Confusing headline (on purpose I'm sure). No, solar didn't handle 61% of total energy demand. It handled 61% of the so-called "surge" - 3% growth over the prior year.

Pretty easy to take pot shots at a dead guy who lacks the ability to punch back. Especially when the dead guy hosted a daily show and would have been thrilled to have him come on and debate! Why didnt Mr Codex get around to stating his opin

But your streams are counted (just like everyone else's) in determining the total percentage of streams for which each artist was responsible. Those niche artists you like get a boost when you listen. What you described sounds absolute

"Whoa, whoa, slow your roll... when I said I wanted to support the artists, I was talking about ensuring they receive a fraction of a penny! Ain't nobody got $15 to throw around for an album!"

Where are you drawing the line? It's relatively easy to have a black & white ideological framework regarding murder - but what about lesser crimes, like beating someone up and causing serious, but not life-threatening injuries? W

I agree that templating is very fast and efficient, probably faster than serializing to JSON. Read the OP's posts - he is talking about a "server" being an embedded device with 64mb of read-only storage. My assumption is tha

> That is more processing Not necessarily. Often it is less. Template engines can be very, very efficient and fast. Returning JSON almost always requires data/object serialization on the server, this is often slower than direct data

by listenallyall 10mo ago
Yes, if your server is a weak, limited processor, you want to keep the demands on it as low and lean as possible, and let the client do the heavy lifting. HTMX is not a good fit for this scenario, just like PostgreSQL is not a good database
