I think that's the second fact. The first fact is that this species causes an immense amount of suffering and death to humans. Not considering this ongoing harm is status quo bias. I, too, think it's likely no ecological disaste

Interesting. Good luck to them. If there are any QZ fans, can you recommend any great articles by them in the past year or two? It feels like a missed opportunity on this promo page here. I get what they're trying to do, and they soft-

Taxing at the point of extraction or consumption should be equivalent, right? No one extracts for the sheer fun of it. It seems to me we could take a page out of Europe's VAT book which is ultimately paid by the consumer but tracks the

I think you're generalizing too much. These are AI/ML researchers, and so you can probably talk about that area at Meta, but it doesn't apply to other departments necessarily. But I think it's kind of obvious that AI

Great post! I always learn something new from fly.io blog posts. I hope y'all succeeded in clearing out the hobgoblins. As an Elixir developer, fly.io has been a tempting option because it has a lot of buy-in in the community, but coun

I found out about SerenityOS and Andreas since Andy Kelley retweets him all the time. Is Zig somehow a part of SerenityOS (or its future plans), or is it simply Andy respecting / signal boosting another systems hacker?

matklad's writings are such a gem! I think this is a great investigation into a problem that's somewhat self-inflicted by rust, kind of like how so many of those GoF "design patterns" were simply a response to the lack o

This is pretty amazing. What are the restrictions on it working? For example, suppose we had a non-NULL column A which we drop in the migration, and new records come in without A data. That works on the new table, but if you revert, presuma

I was so sad when sandstorm kind of fizzled out. I'm still hoping Kenton is on a secret mission to somehow bring it to life within Cloudflare. How cool would that be? One-click installs of docs, email hosting, photo sharing, etc apps f

You can compare longitudes within a timezone. China is on one big timezone, and if you're out in Xinjiang "8am" means something totally different from in Beijing. I live in Chicago, which is about as far east as Central Time

There's a lot of anti-antivirus sentiment in these comments, and while I, too, hate AV and have grown up with it being nothing but snake oil, I wonder if that's still correct in the current era of "zero trust". I think w

Actually, your comment made me wonder how far does this go? Where does "third party" end? If I self host on Hertzner or Linode, I imagine their infrastructure logs IP addresses like Google Fonts here. But surely that doesn't

This is very much "status quo" bias, as if the current state of the world were not endangering lives and destroying the earth. People talk about climate change in apocalyptic terms until it actually matters in real world decisions

Fascinating, thanks! Yeah, here in the US, I don't think you can call a carbonated beverage "lemonade", even if it has lemons in it. That would be "lemon soda", I suppose, though I don't think I've ever se

This question is so strange to me! What dialect of English do you speak? Soda generally means like Coca Cola or some other sweetened, carbonated beverage. It doesn't mean soda water (though I can understand the confusion), which we can

Seriously? It's eminently reasonable to expect you to know the code you're deploying. Perhaps you're a JS developer. I agree it's incredibly difficult to keep up with the churn there, but in my Elixir deps, the updates t
