Why not colocate your database queries and business logic inside of your view/template/stylesheet? Just put it all in one file.

The article suggests that the knowledge and skill required to build tunnels efficiently have atrophied over time, I suppose as the people involved in the explosion of construction between 1904 - 1940 retire.

I don’t think the CBP officer has any specific knowledge of Watson or DefenseOne, but instead believes that generally journalists are propagandists and “enemies of the people” as Trump would phrase it.

First, my comment has nothing to say about Stallman’s problematic behavior or expulsion of FSF or MIT. However the article is characterizing free software as a centralized system whose purpose is to give powerful men the “freedom” to exclud

Because the government is interested in minimizing future economic losses from repeated flooding. It's not charity, it's rational planning.

A lot of people are saying that you don’t have to grow workers coops and they can (with the implication that they should) remain small. A counter example is the Mondragon Corporation, which is a worker coop/federation of worker coops w

I am not excusing the statistic. I think people should be accurate. To me the correct statistic is just as compellingly.

I think the charitable interpretation of the use of the “20% of the earths oxygen” statistic (as the article states this is probably more like 9% of earths photosynthesis) is not about an imagined fear of oxygen depletion, but drawing atten

The primary caution of the article is of fascist or nativist tendencies infiltrating environmental organizations and movements.

An actual carbon tax is necessary, though. The game theory/economics of a voluntary “tax” don’t work out.

People should instead channel their desire to do good into political action to advocate policy to confront the climate crisis. Any voluntary system is susceptible to freeloaders who would be receive the benefit of reduced greenhouse gasses

I don’t think that the web or email would have been adopted if they had been invented in today’s environment. Both fundamentally allow for communication across the “garden wall.” I also don’t think it’s a coincidence that both came from res

Haha well at least we can make people more materially comfortable so they can focus on their spiritual, social, and existential discomfort.

“Over 75% drive less than 10 hours a week to supplement existing jobs. On average, Lyft drivers earn over $20 per hour.” These statistics could be very misleading. For example let’s say one driver works 4 hours, another 6 hours, another 10

For one, I imagine since this project is more academic in nature (as opposed to commercial or for entertainment) they aren’t optimizing for flashiness but for historical accuracy based on the archeology. Second they probably have a lot less

Jared Diamond isn’t talking about problems that can be tied to recent technologies or youthful ideology that can be explained away as one generation not understanding the previous. He is specifically citing 1) the release of carbon dioxide

I don’t think we should follow a 2 decade old thesis dogmatically, but I would point out that Roy Fielding has said: “A REST API should be entered with no prior knowledge beyond the initial URI (bookmark) and set of standardized media types

I agree. I was just disagreeing with the idea that we shouldn’t make informed predictions because they can’t be tested.

You’re comparing the invention of a nifty replacement for horses with, for instance, the complete destruction of every city in the United States with a population over 1,000,000 in a global nuclear war.

I think all of human civilization falling into a new dark age is much more disruptive than 3,000 civilians dying in an act of terrorism.

We constantly have to make unfalsifiable predictions to make decisions in this world. You can’t turn back the clock and see how a different decision would have effected the outcome of your life. The best we can do is use our prior knowledge

I never used a flow blown Java EE web application server, but the various APIs I used like JDBC, JAX-RS, and JPA were generally well thought out and pleasant enough to work with. It would be a shame if these interfaces/specifications b
