This is going to be a random comment, but the thing that struck me most was how close this person's Github username is to my own! github.com/chrxr vs github.com/chrxh. Feels bizarre. And seeing their actual name it appears th

Looking back at this comment, I realize now that it's pretty pointless... just excited to play with stuff. Sorry folks! Enjoy your day.

I think this is catering to a specific audience who is not me :) I actually find that the complexity of self hosting is the interesting part. I did this to learn stuff. Seeing as I have little to say, my blog site is more of a technical pla

I recently moved my personal website ( https://chrxr.com ) to a static site in a rather complicated fashion. I use Wagtail as my CMS, so I dockerized it and put it on an ECS cluster. I then use Wagtail Bakery to publish the pages

TTS is great for 40k, although moving a large amount of pieces can be a pain. There are a huge amount of model scans available, and the community has put an immense amount of effort into building battlefields. I have mixed feelings about th

If the learning experience is simplified to listening to a lecture, either live or recorded, and all grading is done algorithmically, then yes, there is no scaling limitation. This would be considered a very poor learning experience though.

That may be the case, but I would guess other insurance companies will buckle under similar pressure. Perhaps I'm being naive, but it seems like the worst kind of PR nightmare to financially cripple a group as big as those who will eve

That sucks if that's true for your insurance provider. Here in the US it is not always true. For example, Blue Cross Blue Shield in MA are covering expenses for testing and waiving co-payments for medically necessary treatments. https

Relevant precedent: Harvard recently settled with National Association of the Deaf, resulting in all videos made publically available after Dec 2019 requiring captions, and a required 5 day turnaround for captioning of older videos. https:

That's not the point of the glass cliff. The point is that women are more likely to be hired as CEOs when a company is in trouble than when a company is in good shape. It is specifically about the circumstances when a woman is more or

Whilst it may not have been Blackett or his team doing the research, research in this area does seem to have been done(1), and there are books and papers written about it(2). 1- https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/kyZgEKzZZ

Can anyone tell me if young people listen to podcasts? Like people under 16? I found something that suggests 7% of listeners are under 17*... I just wonder with an audience split like that, is it expected that young people will suddenly pic

It might just be me, but reading right-aligned paragraphs with all that white space to the left is quite painful. My eye naturally drawn the left edge of the page at the end of each line. It's a little better when you get to parts with

I remember looking at the site a few (maybe five?) years ago and everything was a bit of a mess. They've really pulled it together since then. It's really great.

For those like me, and like many in the UK, whose maths education ended at 16, I can definitely recommend Khan Academy for learning or relearning pre-calc stuff. The videos are short, the exercises are well thought out and numerous, and imp
