Author here, thanks for your thoughts. I agree with you, just the existence of Mastodon/Discourse/others isn't sufficient. The onboarding and home/local/federated timelines of Mastodon can be a bit confusing at firs

You're right, it is substantially more work to clean and organize the code for publishing. Being open about your work does make the attack surface much larger and more likely to be nitpicked, criticized, have an error found, etc. But i

I've been learning rust recently and trying to make a few CLIs/TUIs for simple tasks. I have a simple CLI for handling the `$PATH` environment variable [0]. And I have a simple TUI for keeping track of financial statements for var

It's been a ongoing conversation for years how Watson and Crick disregarded Franklin's work, with a lot of evidence to support it. Crick also wrote some scathing letters to Watson about how he was being disingenuous in this partic
