Yeah. If people are worried enough about something that they vote this hard about it, go ahead and do some more tests. Be super transparent. The real fight will be the communications about the results. Bend over backwards to explain everyth

Apparently last time their laser rangefinder was turned off groundside and thus wasn’t available during landing. This time they remembered to turn it on, but it didn’t work very well.

Dolt would do that for you. It has push/pull semantics like git. As a bonus you can use its version control features to implement sophisticated undo/redo features. https://dolthub.com/blog/2022-09-23-dolt-roll

Great example of how accumulated technical innovations unlock unexpected opportunities. Flow, Shrek and Toy Story have roughly similar technical quality but vastly different price tags. That cost reduction allows more experimentation, which

Same reason there is opposition to municipal ISPs. The theory is the public sector should stay away from anything the private sector could theoretically provide. It assumes the private sector will deliver better goods at lower prices due to

can you compare/contrast to 1blocker?

1blocker works well for me on iOS, iPadOS and MacOS https://1blocker.com/ If you want to use uBlock Origin on Webkit you can do it with Kagi's Orion browser. https://help.kagi.com/orion/browser-ext

Hmm… Dug into it a bit deeper. Kagi has several repos open for contributions [1] but Orion isn’t fully open source yet [2]: > Is Orion open-source? > > We're working on it! We've started with some of our components and i

Yeah. I think this is probably insurmountably hard. ApplePay is about as frictionless as digital payments can possibly be, and I still occasionally abandon a purchase because of some annoying authentication issue.

Edge has two features I actually like: - integrated screen shot, which includes a “full webpage” option that handles scrolling for you - Split View, which lets you open two webpages side by side within a single tab I use both of these daily

Kagi has started porting Orion to Linux [1]. They’ve stated that multiplatform support is just a question of resources [2]. You can contribute code [3] or money [4] to accelerate this process. [1] per 2/25 subscriber newsletter: “What

The rustport blog post says they lost support for Cygwin because it's not a supported Rust target. Looks like there is a fork for this: https://github.com/ookiineko-cygport/rust There have been discussions about a

Yes, but it takes strong leadership. Service and Product companies have important structural differences in many areas, including finance, culture, technology infrastructure, and project management. I’ve seen many companies start on one sid

Yes, but that expertise may not be easily transferable. Two decades of experience with a firm is much more valuable to that specific firm that anywhere else. If you leave that place, you only have general lessons to apply elsewhere.

Yeah it’s easy to think centralizing IT will deliver a lot of efficiencies, but you pay the price in reduced agility on the ground. The best balance I’ve seen involves centralizing a small number of essential services, ideally ones with lot

To the extent that MAGA can be said to have a point, I think this is it. Deep underneath the arrogance and scapegoating, they’re calling bullshit on institutions that have become self-licking ice cream cones. I think there’s some truth to t

Yup. and MAHA'd. The question is: what comes next? Once the current administration executes their democratic mandate to destroy institutions, how should we rebuild those capabilities? In this case, how could the federal government ensu

How could this be corrected? The scientific community has lost a lot of credibility with the public, and the backlash is obvious in recent policy changes. Fast forward four years. Assume Trump and RFK jr have successfully destroyed the curr

Interesting. That’s only the second time I’ve heard of crystal being used in production. The first is Kagi, which uses it in search query processing.

I think it’s the super low barrier to entry. When I first started 3D printing, I wanted to make basic shapes with decent dimensional accuracy. OpenSCAD lets you install a single app and start doing that immediately. It was easier for me to
