i like the idea of rethinking surveys. 1) have you thought about voting schemas besides multiple choice? ex. rank choice, weighted preference, exclusion, multiple round voting.. there's a field of economics called "social choice t

i completely agree with that sentiment. even if the audience is familiar, acronyms and abbreviations put a cost on the listener/reader to "unzip" them. in code, in meetings, in communication generally, the priority should be

long-term probably both are good ideas. i would think geothermal would be more stable over a long period of time.

i think for most software engineering, pursuing novel innovations is not the best thing to optimize. novelty can mean complexity and duplication. but i would totally agree with taking risk around giving people freedom to decide what to work

i don't mean "BS" with venom aimed at you. but you equated a cash transaction at a store to data commodification by internet companies. data commodification is very materially different from exchanging a currency for a physic

BS. paying for internet products with personal data is nothing like a financial transaction at a store. money is a uniform unit; personal data is not that. Those of us who are well-aware of data harvesting still forget about it all the time

*idk about that last part; it's a dumb anecdote. the auto-formatting i'm salty about is prettier. ones that are manually invoked and either 0 config or highly configurable (like eslint) seem sensible. use an auto-formatting hook

i completely agree with you. i think the people who advocate for auto-formatters must not be very skilled at using their text-editors and/or don't put enough attention on readability/understandability. i'm happy with lin

GraphQL was developed by Facebook to be used in conjunction with their frontend GraphQL client library called Relay. Most people opt Apollo + Redux because they were more active early on in releasing open source, and people argue it is an e

Flagging is distinct from removing posts. Removing seems obviously wrong for the reasons you give. Flagging is probably ok, maybe even the right thing to do.

if this rolled out, just the knowledge of its existence would probably put some fear in people to comply with whatever the government was asking people to do. it's a case being made for total surveillance.

Contact tracing has a time and place, and it's early in isolated outbreaks. The cat is out of the bag at this point and thinking we're going to contact trace our way to safety is a false promise. You'd have to be naive and sh

I built a natural language health and nutrition journal for Telegram and SMS, but once it was working I didn't want to use it. I'm not convinced that keeping a meticulous log solves a real problem. Loosely structured journaling is

Prisma provides a really solid approach for a GraphQL project. https://www.prisma.io/features/graphql-api/ . Graphile( https://www.graphile.org/ ) is another really nice library for a more advanced

I'm just quoting experts. But I agree with your point. Only one of them stated that figure with "confidence", but he also was clearly motivated to downplay the risk because he was worried about panic. My intuition is that a f

This reflects the opinions shared by Michael Osterholm, Amesh Adalja, and Nicholas Christakis: a final case mortality of ~0.7%. But just to highlight the point, that's on a strong assumption that critical cases receive proper medical a

The best compost design for worms is called "horizontal migration". It provides a gradient of temperature, moisture, decomposition stages, and allows for eggs to develop undisturbed.

that workflow has always been my preference. QA can review features in batches, you can schedule releases to minimize impact, and several eyes are on the release to catch possible bugs.

It looks like a nice library. It might be good as a learning tool. I'm not sure what kind of use-case I would want it for, maybe a small game? It looks similar to how I've done smaller/demo/mock-up APIs for frontend apps

Postgraphile is more open-ended and advanced, which could be better for some cases. I really like it and enjoy writing the PostgreSQL directly. Prisma compresses the domain a little more than Postgraphile, which means its a little simpler.

I've been working on GraphQL services since 2015. I worked on the design of the precursor to postgraphile; it was called postgraphql. Hadn't heard of Hasura before today, but it looks interesting. The primary complaints I hear fro

Having a couple lines that are similar or copied in several places shouldn't be considered such a bad thing. Repetition reveals similarity, and having clear signals of similarity is really important. It's often more expressive &#

Cool idea and nice video explaining the project! As it's described it seems like I would be able to create one record for a real person and add multiple links if they have more than one URL I want to follow. But it looks like I have to
