You are, however, communicating over HTTP. If the protocol conventions cannot be used due to limitations of the encoding, it is reasonable to question the encoding design. Another comment asserted HTMX can handle this, it just needs to be c

I completely agree, but I think figuring out what an effective implementation looks like for any given discipline is not easy.

I’d like to mildly point out that this style of caricaturing ideologies is one of the most effective at entrenching those same ideologies. If you can recognize that those critiquing you are doing so in bad faith, not only does it make the

Just as a someone with a hammer could truthfully claim they don’t need a nail gun. Not that I think Erlang manages to be a nail gun; it has enough idiosyncrasies that the comparison is not terribly accurate. Still, “need” is doing a lot of

Structs are representations of combinatorial types! In your file case, you could parse the input into a struct, and then accept or reject further processing based on that contents of that struct. Of course, it would be reasonable to claim t

Despite the smugness of this comment, it does not strike me that anyone replying to you has seemed confused.

I completely agree with your points about medical services, but I think it’s important to point out the US does not have, and never really has had, a meaningful market economy when it comes to healthcare.

It feels like there’s a house on fire and one party is like, “It’s fine, I don’t see the problem and neither do you” and the other party is like “OMG the house is on fire, quick pour gasoline on it.” I’ve sort of accepted it’s going to burn

His advice needs to be contextualized within the 90s and 00s. He was correcting (or overcorrecting) for issues that were prevalent then: methods that were hundreds or thousands of lines, processes with hundreds of hours of design work witho

A minor recommendation: remove the word “just” from the following paragraph. > At Tailscale, we believe in security that’s adaptive, intelligent, and actually useful — not —just- security theater.

I get that fabricating data and academic integrity look like a different issue from ROI-based funding, but I don’t think they are. In the context of public funding, there must be a justification for the money spent. For a long time, it was

I don’t find this compelling, especially given the enormity of the replication crisis and misconduct in academia. If scientific institutions want less budgetary scrutiny and more freedom, they need to be fundamentally trustworthy, but the p

You’re going to pay almost 4x for an experienced excavator operator vs. a ditch digger. Not too unlikely the same thing happens with AI.

US govt creates a list of companies eligible to receive social welfare money, and the smart contract money will only be exchanged with those companies. They can remove companies from the list at will, on a whim. They could also do this with

I don’t think I agree with your interpretation of the definition. If I spell the word “pale” as “pal”, that is not an acceptable spelling for the word “pale”, even if it is coincidentally the acceptable spelling for an entirely different wo

To clarify, you believe the common use of “steep learning curve” means easy to learn?

by tacitusarc 1y ago
Calling it inaccurate was too harsh; my definition only became common usage in 1970, and the original “time vs learning” is still used in academic circles.

It is unclear how this comment was meant; in any case, it is appreciated. As stated in the link: “The common English usage aligns with a metaphorical interpretation of the learning curve as a hill to climb.” Followed by a graph plotting x “

I think there is a nuanced but discernible difference between people who are talented and time constrained, and those who are mediocre/lazy/disinterested. I used to think the incentive structure was a dominant factor, but my opini

The quotations feel unnecessarily petty. Do you enjoy working with people who are incompetent? Is there anywhere you’d draw the line with regards to competence, at which point you’d rather not have to deal with them?

by tacitusarc 1y ago
This is incorrect. A learning curve measures expertise on the x axis and effort on the y axis. Hence the saying "steep learning curve".
