Seriously. I feel like “performative” gets applied to anything imperfect. They’ll never stop 100% of murders, so these laws against it are just performative…

There are bee diseases that are so serious (American foulbrood) that if your hive gets it then the dept of agriculture will come out and not leave until you burn the affected hives. It is super infectious and can cause massive commercial d

Wow this is my first time hearing about the Geodesk format. It seems super useful...I do a ton of OSM data processing, and I can't really do anything with it until it's loaded in to PostGIS, so this would save a ton of time/s

From the way you described it, it sounds like there were openings and Biden appointed folks to fill those openings. How is this different from any president filling any vacancy? By nature of the vacancy being filled, a future president won’

I was looking to use this with the iOS Books app, but I can’t share text to your app from there (but something like safari works). Any idea why?

This is mentioned in the John McPhee book referenced elsewhere in the thread, because there is actually an answer: when the cantons stopped fighting and Switzerland/Helvetica Confederation was formed, the Swiss finance/banking sys

another option that would have been interesting to see here is serving PostGIS GeoJSON export -> tippecanoe encode. Tippecanoe is super fast, parallelizes well and built solely for generating vector tile data (with lots of configurable o

What is amazing to me is that this post references an "epidemic of slipping on banana peels", was posted within a day of a wonderful (33 minute long!) video about the history of slipping on banana peels, and neither references the

Yes, they could. You can attach whatever metadata you want to a vector tile feature.

A great book about how animals survive super cold winters is "Winter World" by Bernd Heinrich. Bernd is a super fascinating biologist who really dives deep in to things. At one point in the book I think he was talking about chipmu

But the software is called WordPress. How else should they say that they can host WordPress on their site without referring to it? This feels like if you were to go after someone advertising themselves as a "Honda repair shop". Th

My guess is that they're referring to how Rails will instantiate full objects for ActiveRecord database requests and this is often not what you want, because we often just want a single or a few attributes from the model. So if you had

Not at all surprised that Laurenz Albe played a key role in figuring this out -- I've learned so much about postgres from his Stack Overflow answers over the years.
