So much of science seems to be run on handshakes (peer review, IRB in this article), and from the outside it looks like they’re experiencing problems scaling. There is a joke about science police in there, but it seems like a lot depends on

A victim of Tom Branson if Hollywood is to be believed. I've almost stopped watching "movies" entirely but my wife really wanted me to watch "Bohemian Rhapsody" with her. Basically a giant pack of lies to fit the st

These abstraction discussions seem to always result in commenters talking over each other. I would love to have these conversations rooted in a code sample. Otherwise no one is talking about the same thing. If someone writes a blog series c
