I generally am very satisfied with fastmail but I do have a hard time getting it to learn what is spam, maybe I'm missing something.

AI has definitely shifted my work in a positive way, but I am still playing the same game. I run a small lab that does large data analytics and web products for a couple large clients. I have 5 developers who I manage directly, I write a lo

I read the Wikipedia on xslt, and as a long time web developer i do not understand at all how this would be useful. Plenty of people here are saying if this tech had taken hold we'd have a better world. Is there a clear example somewhe

Thank you for the link to the git repo, this looks great. Thank you for your work. MapLibre is a library I use all the time and while MVT isn't something I have any complaints about this will still be a big upgrade.

This is interesting, is there a reference implementation that exists somewhere? Will there be a fork of tippecanoe that can encode these files or something different?

I think closed vs open problems are not simply different in magnitude of difficulty but qualitatively different. When I'm programming most of the interesting things I work on don't have a clear correct answer or even a way of tell

I don't feel like we are in the waning days of the craft at all. Most of the craft is creating an understanding between people and software and most human programmers are still bad at it. AI might replace some programmers but none who

As someone who creates data and analysis which get used in setting policy I do find a lot of EA spreadsheet analysis of measured "good" to be very niave to the nature of measurement and classification. That being said, I think thi

This is one of the best things I've read on the internet in a minute. It's a modern Koan. Just use your freewill. Delightful.

It's crazy how little has changed and how much had changed. I remember what a revelation "the unreasonable effectiveness of RNNs" was when I was read it and it feels like we live in a different world.

Firstly, I just want to say thanks for the reply, but more so thanks for your work, its moving opensource mapping forward. In my work we are looking at switching from mbtiles hosted with tilserver-gl( https://github.com/mapti

The thing this article doesn't say is that maplibre-gl v2 supports directly querying pmtiles with http range requests so you don't even need lambda or cloud flare workers to make x/y/z routes in front of the file. So ins

This is a great article but it left out the side of this that I was really interested in which is the compute performance of these different options. I'll take a fast deep clone for my case over one that handles all cases.

This will directly lead to me no longer using signal. What are other people switching to for their default sms client on android?

I used to deploy SPAs like this and I consistently had problems with cloudfront's cache clearing. Projects would not update for random amounts of time and at different times for different clients. I thought I was pretty good a trouble

I think the perspective of this article is a very healthy and productive one and I found it particularly useful. Assessing if attending on the shoulders of the new Giants who stand up every few years is a difficult problem that I'm int

The best thing that you can do to give a project legs is to get other people involved. Even if you don't have someone who can work on coding with you, just sharing it and enrolling other people in your vision for a project is the numbe

Personally the biggest advantage .NET core has for my situation is that it creates a pool of programming talent and mindshare that I'd now be open to hiring and working with on projects that can now be made with open source tools in a

tldr; I've invested a lot of time becoming very good at rails and I don't want to learn a new appraoch to solving a problem I am already very good at solving. The quality of an end product doesn't have as much to do with tool

I know and the piece is spot on, not to mention the fact that with PostGIS its the best database for spatial anything, much better then expensive proprietary solutions. Thanks postgres!

I wrote a pretty big app in falcor, using react-redux-falcor for the client. Overall its was a good experience. I haven't really gone back to check out graphql thoroughly, although I will say since I started my falcor project the commu

If you are doing a simple project, there is nothing wrong with just using jquery (or imho d3). If you know that your project is always going to be pretty simple or especially if you are learning. I have been teaching a number of people java

imho, this is worth showing as a piece of design. Its an innovative calendar layout and while I don't know if I would use it in time / data selection, in terms of visualizing data inside of a year it has a lot of potential.

This is timely again, putting out new hardware and integrating every device with windows, even open sourcing its development platform isn't going to bring the developers back from the web. Personally I don't think it was as obviou
