Not much. I got a pod and that's about it. It's in a pretty nascent state. Most of the public servers say they're for development/testing.

Tim Berners-Lee's Solid project is working on that. Put data in "pods" that are stored on pod servers, which are federated. You can self-host. It could be a federated layer of identity & personal content decoupled from so

Can you copy the hierarchies of failure here, or link to a non-reddit url? I tried to go there and it said the subreddit is private, so I couldn't get to the text.

Wait, what's wrong with if-statements? I apparently missed the boat on that one.

Ok, and? Remove legacy admissions from that equation and you accelerate the part of the churn where weak elites go back into the general pool. The best and brightest get to rub shoulders with each other and the strong elites. Seems like by

Let's say they get rid of legacy admissions. Kids of rich and powerful people will still ostensibly need college educations. Not all of them will get into the elite schools, so they'll be spread out among more schools. That'd

Just because we're finding out many sugar replacements are bad doesn't mean that sugar isn't bad in high doses as with sugary drinks.

This is a cool concept and a fun game. I think you have something here. I played several more games than I planned to. I didn't love the popup after every game, but I wouldn't have minded the popup if I weren't doing a marath

This is an interesting and complicated set of problems. It's similar to problems in the LLM & social network spaces. You have several dimensions, like recipes, ingredients, nutrition, cultural context, etc, and you have gradients t

I agree with that, but if there is an ingredient used in multiple components, then that should be handled separately so you know you need 200g flour for the crust and 100g for the crumble topping. The shopping list or overall ingredient lis

Thanks. I can't figure out how to look at the markdown. I made an account figuring that'd let me edit (so I can view), but the protections apparently have another level. So, are the components different files? That'd definite

Putting ingredients inline is interesting. I think I actually see the sense in it. As a reader, I want the ingredients list at the top, but as a writer, I'll think about ingredients as I write the instructions. So, doing it this way po

SQL is a declarative language. If you ask it for an address, it'll give you an address. Not sure what you're trying to say with that xkcd. SQL is a real language. It is testable and reusable. It's a DSL, so the syntax isn&#x2

Yes, that's essentially their argument about economies of scale.

I see you're moving on to a different argument now. Before it was about R&D, but now that it's been established that we're talking about trash cans for a plane that's been built since the 1950s, the argument is now a

Or the government can pay people to build better infrastructure instead.

"Trash cans" is a simplification, IMHO. They're containerized garbage collection utilities orchestrated by a cloud-native Dumpster Swarm service.

>Until 2010, Boeing charged an average of $300 for a trash container used in the E-3 Sentry, a surveillance and radar plane based on the 707 civilian airliner. When the 707 fell out of use in the United States, the trash can was no longe

Sweat and blisters are the only compelling arguments they listed. My toes have no trouble spreading out in normal socks. I don't know what kind of boa constrictor socks they've been wearing.

My first thought would be to store the magic numbers in either a db or a config file.

It's unreasonable to expect people to take a statement in support of a fundamentally racist institution as not being racist. People aren't "triggered" for making that connection and they aren't "shutting down t

I don't know enough about SA to agree or disagree with your analysis, but if anyone wants more info on the "one-function town" idea, see these articles : - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dutch_disease

IIRC, most of Brazil's soy exports are feeding pigs in China.

The article says only 20% of that alfalfa is exported. So, the biggest culprit would be alfalfa used domestically.

Between Sam and Bartosz, I think it's time to bite the bullet and get an RSS reader set up. Anyone got any good app recommendations for Android?
