Maybe clock skew is the wrong word. Basically we'd run the script every 10 seconds, which would use the Jira API to fetch any comments made in the last 10 seconds. So sometimes Jira would return the same comment twice, causing the scri

The effect of pesticides and diseases on bees is a new angle I hadn't heard of before! The article ends by mentioning the water usage of almond milk, but I wish it would have contextualized that. Almond milk still uses about half the w

I think I'd be more comfortable with customer scores if there's more "Access/Participation"[1]. Being able to see my scores, see how they're calculated, and dispute them would at least help with trust and preve
