It's not like the shares are destroyed or immediately sold. If anything, they are prevented from being sold under pain of contempt, so could increase prices by limiting the supply.

Maybe the new generation of young lawyers will be running virtual firms this way and serving a much higher volume of clients for cheaper. There is a huge untapped market of those who need services for black letter issues but can't affo

Reminds me of https://riverml.xyz/latest/ (which is awesome) but the idea is even better because it skips all the copying and preprocessing yak shaving. Can't wait to kick the tires!

Yes for sure, but just because we all like to follow sometimes doesn't mean we need to do so without any criticism of those figures. People who follow without any analysis are setting themselves up to harm their own culture because it&

Agreed that it is astute pandering. I found the whole "both sides" thing off-putting because it's negligent. There seems to be a standard of care that comes with running a social network that isn't being acknowledged eno

Whenever I need to query the hive mind I just search directly on Reddit now, after a long period of searching in google with the keyword "reddit" included. If I am querying something technical for work or hobby development I use t

I think that there is a thing called literary nonfiction which does use these higher level abstractions. It might be that they are less fixed, as you say. That is a feature rather than a bug. It would take so much more text to describe ever

This resonates with me a lot as someone who gave up music and university for programming in my early 20s. And yet, mediocre content abounds in the media. How should that be explained?

As an interesting aside to carbon taxes and such (which appear to be working to a degree): Was shopping for ETFs a while back and came across the WealthSimple SRI portfolio which is based on their funds. They use a normal ESG index but it a

Yeah thanks for checking, at first I got really excited.

Maybe something like https://github.com/citusdata/pg_cron or if it's not a rolling time window, just trigger functions that get called whenever some expression in SQL is true.

Something I find peculiar about this truth is that Postgres itself is based on the write ahead log structure for sequencing statements, replication, audit logging. It feels like two different lenses onto the same reality.

Just because you don't think she goes far enough doesn't mean you need to tear her down. It seems disingenuous if you're a self-described reformer like this author. Why is it Frances Haugen's responsibility to fix everyt

Thanks for the chuckle. Same here but mostly brown hair except red in the beard. I suspect it's not limited to red haired folks but that the gene occurs in people with relatively northern ancestors (Ireland, Scotland, Scandinavia). IIR

My #1 wish with all of these is decent footnote support. None of that manually tinkering with superscript numbers. EDIT: looks like it got added here https://github.com/glushchenko/fsnotes/pull/704 Take my mo

I think it's possible to take the cult of simplicity too far. As is the case with over engineering. There is always the risk of over-simplifying and dumbing down the inherent complexity of problems. Instead of representing the problem

That might be the case for the internet, but in a company there can be real dedicated curation resources and a policy-driven schema and naming convention. I think the viability is different depending on the use case. That said, I'm not

Last time I responded with a polite message that once they treat their non-tech employees better I would consider. Never heard from them again.

LGBTQ folks probably have fewer children than the average. The demographic challenges we face are in scaling services to support the global population. So wouldn't freedom of gender expression, if anything, make things easier? Assuming

US-bias is lame, but I can think of a couple counter-examples where it doesn't usually need to be mentioned: e.g. Shopify and Spotify. Could it be that once a company is successful then it doesn't come up as much?

Hahaha maybe so, but have you met Go devs? The cult of "simplicity" and static typing fundamentalism is just a reaction to JavaScript IMHO. What these folks don't realize is that langs like Python can do everything including
