Though oddly Boeing whistleblowers keep dying. Hamilton made a much better case than I could for a way to view the military as a necessary evil neither to be loved nor feared in Federalist no. 8.

People might care for culture. I’m very much in favor of a reformed copyright that strengthens indie artists, conservationists, and remixers and weakens Disney et al. It’s also a matter of fact that we have the copyright we have that’s proh

I’m not sure about Playdate, but for a larger company, it’ll be beneficial to stop paying fpr the insurance after a while — the insurance companies bank on the difference between risk tolerance for individuals and in groups. Your liquidity

If you’re not putting the phone on the floor, wouldn’t the person holding it introduce a randomness factor that would make it much harder to reliably measure those? And then there’s sun curves, packed leaves, ice and the cars’ suspension. I

You don’t need data to be terrified of something. Even so there is research on how car design impact road safety, and if there’s a sliver of doubt that that’s sufficient to justify banning the Cybertruck from public roads the tests to prove

It seems to me that we’ve always had many people both on the spectrum and with ADHD, but our modern society has such stiff norms that the people who are the most involved with society sees these otherwise often fairly benign variations as d

Forks predate GitHub and have another almost opposing definition that sets up for a confusion here. By that lingo forks go their own way (like a fork in the road) independently of the upstream and clones are copies of an upstream.

The project has a terrible (and pro-DRM) self-justification. But there’s still a person with flaws, insecurities, loved ones and dreams on the other side. I doubt you mean that first sentence of your last paragraph, and those words are very

Lionhead made amazing games, and it’s annoying that Molyneux had to hype them until they were certain disappointments. I liked Fable, and while Black and White committed the sin of being two RTS games without multiplayer it remained really

I’m fond of silos like the one the author unintentionally created. I’ve always felt like a forum that grows to a sufficient size will just end up being noisy and I’ll avoid getting involved. I’ve previously sought out Swedish-language silos

A lake can be unsafe for people to swim in yet have a healthy ecosystem and vice versa. Or, if your reading is correct, redundancy might be an aesthetic choice.

I’m not sure I quite understand why that’d be a red flag? It’s great if there are lifelines, education, and good security equipment by the water, but if it’d be the city’s responsibility to keep me safe from drowning I’d worry they’d try to

Yeah, especially as you can disable all the other tabs (beyond code). I think that’s been successful in encouraging open contribution projects, but that has also impacted the notion of what open source means to people in a way that isn’t j

I really like the author’s listing of advantages open source provides that you just don’t get with closed source, it aligns very closely with my point of view. This is great reference material for my little archive of “read this to understa

Fair, though that’s still dependent on having a platform that follow that spec, in this case the common denominator for the platforms in question is POSIX rather than CLR.

Having been recently exposed to PowerShell, I’m quite impressed by the balance they’ve struck in developing a new shell. I wouldn’t want to switch out Bash for PowerShell, but that’s mostly based on the same reasoning as you have (I can’t b

In both ACL examples, if I send in a user that has the role “adnim” it’ll quietly and happily treat that as the same as “guest”. You can certainly make that design decision, but I think my take of “explicit is better than implicit” is to le

I’d argue that the smaller you are, the more sense S3 makes, since its costs scales down to zero and offer a high degree of reliability from the first file stored. Rolling your own storage comes with at least some operational expenses, if y

Chicago Manual of Style [6.51, 5.250], though I'd argue this is pedantry for casual conversation. From 6.51: "[...]Note that in formal writing, Chicago prefers to confine the abbreviations i.e. ("that is") and e.g. (&quo

I really hope they’re more lenient than that. Having a database go offline because their telemetry servers are down, slow, or unreachable seems inconvenient.

They’re useful because they let you pass a slice or map to something built to handle the new func(func (…) bool) style iterators. If I create a IterateOver(fn func(func (K, V any) bool)) function, you cannot pass a slice since that doesn’t
