I'm glad to see the first thing you mentioned was the value of purchasing software. For some reason software developers are particularly averse to paying for software, even when it pays for itself. My current company spent over $10k +

Indeed, the article mentions Wikipedia experiencing similar scraping pains, even though they already DO have bulk data available.

I like the framing of organizational slack as immune system, instead of fat, and I emphatically agree with the author. > ...“slack”: unbooked time that isn’t already spoken for. It’s always the first casualty, because it’s treated as a n

Nope, splitting green wood is much more difficult than splitting dried logs, so I often cut a tree in the spring, stack the rounds, then split those rounds in the fall. People overestimate how dry wood needs to be to burn correctly. Just ha

> for reasons that nobody can articulate This is only true if you ignore the role of America's greatest ally, in which case, the motivations become very obvious.

You assume the stone is released along a circular path, but that isn't quite right. When you release the stone you extend your arm forward, changing the arc of travel.

Nice blog! However, when I hear timeline, I want to see a timeline. This is an article ordered by time, which is much less interesting, and very long.

I'm a big fan of Dustin, I think the programming interface electric presents is very compelling, and the benefits are really impressive. The killer feature, for me, of electric is that it makes the network _transparent_ to me, the prog

I find that Lisps encourage this behavior more than other languages. Many (most?) of the lisp functions I read have the exact same structure: (fn some-function [args] (let [binding (transform args)] (an-expression binding)))

Can you describe how rsc allows you to avoid rest endpoints? Are you just putting your rsc server directly on top of your database?

Except it wasn't $12B to farmers. Farmers have been squeezed by monopolies on both the supplier (seed, equipment, etc) side AND the buyer side (there is often only a single buyer of grain in an area, for example) to the point that most

To be clear, there's nothing wrong with your approach, and many people implement systems exactly the way you are describing in Clojure using Records (which are Java classes). (defrecord UserLoginView [email password]) ;; DIFFERE

Author is on the verge of having a Clojure epiphany. > 1. You should often be using different objects in different contexts. This is because "data" are just "facts" that your application has observed. Different facts

The absolute best resource I've found for educating myself about this topic is John Vervaeke's free online course "Awakening from the meaning crisis". You can search it in YouTube or Spotify. He explains in detail exactl

I think the surface area for bugs in a C++ dependency is way bigger than a JS one. Pulling in a new node module is not going to segfault my app, for example.

I'm coming to the unfortunate realizattion that supply chain attacks like this are simply baked into the modern JavaScript ecosystem. Vendoring can mitigate your immediate exposure, but does not solve this problem. These attacks may ju

That package _does_ just run it in vterm, and it just adds automatic code links (the @path/to/file syntax), and a few more conveniences.

Maybe I don't understand, but I thought the whole point of datomic (and XTDB by extension) was to avoid denormalization. I am surprised the author says: > "Old Yakread" has a lot of slow queries. For example, loading the s

I agree that this is the approach that keeps react apps simple. The biggest problems I see in react code are giant components that read like this: useState useState useState ... // 20 more useEffect useEffect useEffect ... /&

If you're interested in that, read up on Shakerism, a now almost-extinct branch of Quakerism that had an even stronger focus on mysticism.

Yeah anyone criticizing the mass incarceration in El Salvador as unjust should really familiarize themselves with the crimes of the gangs down there. The obliteration of a social scourge in a single presidency was nothing short of miraculou
