It's particularly bad when it comes to treating women. Doctors tend to believe that female patients exaggerate pain in comparison to male patients, in accordance with stereotypes that portray men as "stoic" and women as &quot

I’m so sad to hear this. I didn’t know him but hugely admired the work he did on Tempest (his recent fork of Sandstorm, attempting to revive the project). Thank you for letting us know.

Yet another not-Brian, but definitely my favourite one of these: James Williamson got an electronics engineering degree in 1982. He immediately joined AMD where he worked for 15 years on tooling around chip design. In 1997, Sony hired him a

You seem to be missing Coda ( https://coda.io ) which (in my experience) comes remarkably close to “Excel with data powers”. Think of Notion’s document editing and tables, but with _much_ more power, a proper formula language, U

Wow, that’s exciting! Maybe I’m being too optimistic, but does this mean we’ll soon be able to write single pieces of code that can execute on both client- and server-side? It sounds like pure Java will get us part of the way there thanks t

Many thanks for this joyous thing. I tried a few different prompts and always got something weird and interesting, but never quite what I wanted: Firstly, with temperature set to 2: “Amen break with a bag of spanners” (140 bpm): If the amen

You've basically described Coda: https://coda.io It has far more data power than Coda, with tables that can be used as databases, a strong formula language, and loads of other nifty features. Like Notion, it's a closed

Meta's virtual world projects always give me the sense that they're aimed at set of personas/demographics that has almost zero overlap with the people actually running or building those projects. That's why they fail.

Kent's recommended NodeJS module, `better-sqlite3`, has some very nifty features including the creation of JavaScript user-defined functions[0] that (if I understand this right) can be called from SQLite. Combined with TRIGGERs, I wond

This is a superb write-up of an intense, exhausting situation. Great mixture of low-level detail and tactics, and high-level thinking about systems and people. Congratulations on managing that migration, and thank you for sharing this with

I love the idea of a data notebook. Have you seen Franchise? It's a lovely design for something similar, though its implementation (which stopped in 2019) didn't go beyond querying and visualization, rather than manipulation. But

To reiterate what someone else already said: no, REST was never meant to be “just RPC”. If you want RPC over HTTP, use something like JSON-RPC rather than trying to invent it yourself; its creators have already solved many of the problems t

Thank you for the clarification! To be clear: my post is sarcastic, and I was trying to say that this library looks like a significant usability improvement over traditional regex syntax.
