Presumably this sort of thing was rampant pre-internet? News outlets would _have_ to receive embargoed information so that they could publish papers on time. I believe government budgets are a good example of this happening. I think the we

In principle I’d agree usually, but I think this specific case, it’s reasonable to highlight that the “experts get value” argument doesn’t really add much to the discourse anymore. We know this and you just need to look at what’s happening

This is awesome, and exactly what I've been looking for recently. Noticed the demo won't let me add spaces in table cells however.

This looks great, and I’ve bookmarked to give it a go. Any reason you’ve opted for custom markdown formats with the @ syntax rather than using something like frontmatter? Very conscious that this would prevent any markdown rendering in gith

Not as exciting or big as some of the projects on here, but just a small personal one I’ve been wanting to do for a while. I recently impulse bought an Epson receipt printer, and I’ve started putting together a server in Go to print a morni

Been working with sqlite and Typescript, needing random rows sampled reproducibly with a seed. Found this handy little trick [0]. Not the cleanest, but it works! `SELECT * FROM sales ORDER BY substr(${seedValue} * sales.id, length(sales.id)
