The cool thing with software engineering is that we can drive the costs of building the same project repetitively down to zero. We don't have to write Postgres from scratch each time we spin up a CRUD app, we can just install it. I thi

I was hoping this article went deeper into the Guardian's somewhat unusual ownership model, because I find it interesting and would love to learn more. The Guardian is owned by (and I think largely funded by?) a trust that was intentio

We know of at least one uncomputable number - Chaitin's constant, the probability that any given Turing machine halts. Personally, I do wonder sometimes if real-world physical processes can involve uncomputable numbers. Can an object b

My humble opinion is that the every-function-must-be-pure aspect of Haskell is the reason why Haskell won't receive mainstream success, not that that's what they're after. It complicates things that are simple to express in a

People can leave star ratings without leaving reviews. It is not uncommon that satisfied users leave 5-star ratings (prompted by the app), but dissatisfied users leave 1-star reviews , and that's what you see. Still, I would not disco

It has been noted that if your competitor is paying out of pocket to flood the market with cheap goods, the optimal strategy is to buy up as much of the cheap goods as you can.

The interesting thing to me is how poorly-understood irrationality is. Despite it being relatively common knowledge nowadays that pi is irrational, we've only proven that pi is irrational in the past 300 years or so. And the proof is n

I suspect cast iron pans are talked about more often than they are used, so I suppose the analogy still works. Stainless steel and carbon steel pans have most of the same upsides of cast iron, but none of the downsides. Which is why they ar

When the numbers were small to begin with, a doubled risk ratio could just be the result of statistical noise. You are right in that the mechanisms may not be well-understood. This does warrant further study, as the paper concludes.
