That does sound like a key differentiating feature, thanks for clarifying. While I'd probably prefer to hook up an open-source web-crawler to lighthouse (e.g., something like github/lightcrawler [1]), I could see SEO/marketin

Similar feature-set at first glance, but not open-source, not free after beta ends, and created/maintained by an unknown solo developer. Nice site design, but I think the cards are pretty heavily stacked against this one.

For a second I was wondering whether test prep for American college-bound high schoolers had entered an amazing AI-fueled arms race. Then I realized this was actually about the Boolean satisfiability problem.

I've used Embedded Ruby (ERB), I was also converting YAML to JSON before CloudFormation added native support for YAML templates (Sep 2016). My company's web application was a Ruby/Rails stack so `.yml.erb` syntax was already

I use CloudFormation to manage similar AWS web-app infrastructure. I've been continuously evaluating Terraform over the years (it is indeed maturing quickly), but have still decided to stick with CloudFormation for now, and would still

To the contrary, the article about _implicitness_ is the one that doesn't need to be written because people already know what it means.

Worth noting that "nearly 31,000 AWS CloudFormation stacks were created for Prime Day" [1], so Amazon uses CloudFormation heavily internally. Not a guarantee that it's what 'everyone else is doing', but it's a

The article does not take into account race size - it plotted 100th finisher times by year, which is not the same as plotting 100th finisher times by # of participants.

If more races are held next year to accommodate more total runners, and the new runners are slower, and the number of races a given runner races each year stays the same, the average time of the nth finisher across any individual race would

Interesting claim but I'm not quite convinced based on the data presented. They considered the hypothesis ('myth') that increased popularity of running is what's slowing down the average times by looking at 100th-finishe
