Some things are harder to do in SQL then in code. For example, assigning a rank based on a field in MYSQL. I did this for production code in a rails app, and it wasn't just ugly (requiring separate DB calls for variable initializatio

You have to also look at the department of energy spending on wikipedia since they do fossil fuel development, which adds an additional half billion. So 3.7 billion per year, at least. But oil companies are also some of the main beneficia

Getting away with carbon pollution, if it's a subsidy, is just part of the subsidies the fossil fuel industries get in the U.S. The 20 billion the United States provide each year in national fossil fuel subsidies is a real issue. (per

Moderation seems like a view layer on top of the content graph, right? I feel like a feature to blacklist actual storage and distribution of a particular post by fingerprint is going to be needed, because I'm not cool with simply not r

I'd use afl or a word mutation engine and the google api, starting with a list of mathematical terms, and mutate them until you got something with zero results that you like. for example z combined with kmeanset as one word in quotes f

I think they published it because it was news. Many details in the news outrage me, but as long as they are based in fact, I consider that reporting of the news of the day, not an attempt to incite outrage. Also, "Callous Googlers Don&

Your career, or your education? Full stack web is going to be more broadly educational, and there are better resources for learning it, and it's cheaper, but iOS might be more lucrative starting out, if you already know both.

Not just creatures: fungi, plants, and bacteria all have it. Also Cave fish that haven't been isolated as long (more then 3 million years) still have it. So it's really really weird that placental mammals (which includes all non
