In a recent case of someone living in TX learning that their fetus had trisomy 18, there was a whole legal case that had to be fought, and when Judge Gamble ruled that terminating the pregnancy could proceed in this case, TX AG Ken Paxton f

On the second point, I think folks are rightly dubious about the effectiveness of incentives broadly[1]. There's also some hilarious historical examples of incentives backfiring or having unwanted side-effects (like the Cobra Effect [2

I'm quite taken aback by the vitriol in those comments. Programs are meant to be read by humans, and language/terminology has a huge impact. If there are cost-less replacements to words that are easy to adopt, why not adopt them?

Chernoff faces are pretty fun to play with too! A while back, I played with it[1], and they do seem useful. I wonder if more realistic faces lead to better utility as a at-a-glance data visualization tool? [1]: https://gnarmis.gi

I like this tool. Been waiting for something I could recommend to occasional terminal-users I meet and help. I'm very glad it was posted here.

Yeah that makes sense. If there's enough of an enticement to adopt the infra service and you standardize the API at the bottom, any developments/contributions on top of it could co-exist and be more share-able. I'm reminded o

This looks really awesome. I liked that rehydration was factored out with a higher order component like that. That seems like a much cleaner solution. Overall, I'm really intrigued by Apollo Client and GraphQL in general. My guess is t

Check out Hyper.sh too. It abstracts away the whole datacenter -- you can use `hyper` instead of `docker`, basically. You don't need to think about VMs ever as a concept, containers run directly on the hypervisor. And they have Hyper F

For small teams like the one I work in, and for solo work I have dabbled a bit in, I can imagine the following thought process if I have a git repo and sit down to think about how to best deploy it. - I start researching how to deploy this,

But Hyper.sh is still competitive, I think, even though it's super young. They already have a high level AWS Lambda alternative (Hyper Func) that uses containers and is fully language agnostic, and they have reasonable pricing-per-minu

I was considering the first column, which does list Thailand as second highest in terms of road fatalities per 100k inhabitants. By second column, I didn't mean to say skip the column with country names -- that may be the mixup. Here&#

You may find this interesting: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_traffic-r... Sorting by the second column gives a good picture about which country has more dangerous drivers. And Thailand is #2... so

There is also such a thing as a representative summary of what the article is going to be about. It's about how DIYGirls worked with a group of high schoolers, part of an all girls club, to make a solar powered tent. And it's an N

Nope, seems totally fine. The group involved in helping this high school team was DIYGirls. The students who did this were part of an all-girls club. This just seems like an overreaction -- if you actually read the article, the title fits p

D3 is excellent. I poked around with Chernoff faces using D3 and React and had a great time[1]. I love these awesome lists, great for compressing the accumulated knowledge of open source tools. 1: https://github.com/gnarmis&

Mars colony survives a mass dying in this hypothetical by not being the target planet of the mass dying. Of course, you have threats that can impact both. Improvement by degrees is still beneficial though. Even though a backup is not useful

Of course it does in that example. 10,000 people living self sufficiently. Enjoy the fiery death while the others go on living, then.

Seriously, you'd pick a planet undergoing a mass dying rather than one with all the support you need to live independently? Make a cot in a firestorm? And sure if you wanna assume the same tech as that used by us in Antarctica right no
