The author's connections between trickle-down economics and depression/recession seems simplistic. It's really not clear that the wealth disparity is what caused the depression or the great recession either. That said, I foun

Very interesting. I glanced at the code to see if there were obvious performance issues. All I noticed was a triple `map` invocation in https://github.com/YosaiProject/yosai_libauthz/blob/master/s... Not

Yeah, I was pretty much sold on Python 3 when I stopped having to use the `codecs` module to read my files and when it would strictly enforce the separation between `bytes` and `str`, rather than having to manually track what sort of sequen

This page is confusing because it describes itself as ECMAScript 2018 but the features it lists are those I've associated with ECMAScript 2017. Looking at the Github repo, you can see that they changed it from 2017 to 2018 on March 31s

Another example of people left behind by a fast-moving, dynamic economy. Along with former steel workers and others in industries that have been sent overseas, they pay the price of the transition from yesterday's economy to today&#x27

I recently found the need to understand the 802.11 standards in detail and was shocked to discover how difficult it is to access IEEE standards. I even work for $BIGCORP, with institutional access to various IEEE publications, but 802.11 is

The cost of high-quality facts should be minimal; the cost of low-quality facts should be higher. But how could such a thing be enforced when the marginal cost of all information regardless of quality is basically flattened?

Seems that the real issue is that Facebook asserts/implies they have patents relevant to React, and that they are willing to enforce them in court under certain conditions. This creates an uncertain situation. The patent grant helps so

I just went to check out Mastadon and learned it calls posts "toots". To me, that means "farts". That's going to be a struggle.

Yes, this is the way to understand it. Internet is feudal. Because law hasn't kept up with the transition to a new source of power (data + information flows) the familiar forms of feudalism are emerging. So how does the Internet transi
