Some years ago, I heard a retired Lutheran priest ponder, in radio, about the concept of a prayer, and whether, as an edge case, an unborn child could be able to pray, with the child of that age having no understanding on the required conce

There appears to be many comments here, arguing that authoring web content in markdown is nothing new, and correctly so. But this (along with md-page and mdwiki mentioned in other comments) is actually an interesting small twist on it. Regu

I think the largest barrier for FOSS is still that the greater public doesn't know about FOSS, at all, and even less at the concept level. Because FOSS largely is still not on the daily political agenda, there's no actual talk amo

I'm reading those comments just as a sign that people feel strongly about climate. There's a lot of talk about the need to do things for the environment, but not much visible work done. This service is that kind of meta level serv

In addition to the service itself looking good, the single act of making environment the central point of the service, works as agenda setting [1]. Because it's the central point of the service, the jobs are viewed through the lens of

I think this is a marvellous idea. Environment and climate change is definitely something many of us would want to be able to affect in our daily jobs. On a more universal level, a service like this, not just for climate work, but in more g

I think bloomberg's tictoc, in it's earlier incarnation, was doing something very similar. It seems to be now renamed, redesigned and merged with some other project. Their version was heavily based on video. I might remember it wr

Not a bad idea, and implementation is solid mvp. Some thoughts: 1) Given that you have clear categories available, it might be worth it to show the name of the category on the reel as well. Sometimes headlines are very broad, and they might

There are certain open questions with Radar style localized template based news. Mainly it's about automatization, changing the way things are done. New skillsets are needed, while old ones are out of the door. There's the existen

The headline is kind of misleading. It makes it sound like a machine would be churning out these news, out of thin air, and that's not really the case. The article itself isn't helping much with all the hype. The article isn'

> I try to not read that much news and instead try to read books. This is pretty much it: it's better to avoid reading news as a habit, and instead use the limited resources on finding quality information, regardless of the medium.

It's definitely a great question. Even if the articles separately would be considered mere reporting, is the creation of the tool part of the journalistic process? Another good one might be whether there's an inherent gain in mach

Rich Hickey has a good point in his Rails Conf 2012 "Simplicity Matters" talk[0] - json is just more simple than xml, as it clearly states which parts are maps and which are sequences. Xml has an inherent, implicit order in everyt
