Passing the senate back then was because of shenanigans; not popularity. They played tricks with the “unanimous consent” procedure where senators didn’t know it was happening until after it was too late to object. Multiple senators said aft

This was exactly what I thought of as well. Garfield’s version seems more complicated since you have to calculate the area of a trapezoid instead of the area of a square, but conceptually they are the same.

Any argument of the form “if you knew that all along you’d be rich by now from playing the stock market” is fundamentally flawed because it overlooks one of the most well known dangers of the stock market: “The market can stay irratio

No it doesn’t. They would have to earn $10 million dollars or more in annual revenue to be affected.

The Zoom arbitration agreement includes a specific clause for that which lets them combine separate claims together and only arbitrate 15 of them. From a consumer perspective it really is a no-win situation. The agreements are specifically

Rebases are supported; you have to do the rebases through git-appraise in order for it to know that the original and rewritten commits are related.

Perhaps this wasn’t clear enough, but I was making an explicit distinction between dependency injection and dependency injection frameworks. Dependency injection makes code easier to test, and I’m a big fan of dependency injection. What I’m

by procrastitron 4y ago
Dependency injection frameworks are a horrible idea. They optimize for the wrong thing; making code easier to write but harder to read and edit. Writing code is a one time cost whereas reading and editing it is an ongoing effort, so depende

“Is there a way to do what you're suggesting with identities” There are certainly solutions, but I don’t know what the best solution is, hence why I called it an open problem. An example solution would be something like having your ide

“All of the core decisions here are solid (pub key identities…” I agree, except for the bit about public keys as identities. I think public key identities are a step in the right direction, but there’s still a gap between that and what the

Indeed, ~1000 worldwide had any sort of hepatitis at all, whereas over 400 have died from Covid in the U.S. alone. Even if their theory is right about isolation being the cause of the hepatitis cases, then it was still the right thing to do

Overall that looks really nice, so thanks for sharing. A bit of unsolicited feedback; listing the seat post options based on rider height (regular for shorter than 6’3”, and extra long for taller than 6’3”) is wrong. Seat post height is bas

Thanks for the pointer; I had never heard of sparkleshare before. It sounds like it addresses roughly the same use case, but I couldn’t find any technical details about it in its docs in order to see how it compares.

This title seems misleading to me. The title implies that we have data showing cloth masks don’t work, but what the article actually says is just that we don’t have data.

I wholeheartedly agree with your assessment. In contrast, Google’s plus codes( https://plus.codes/ ) provide the same functionality but avoid the most of the pitfalls you mention. If you wanted to encode the same data using w

It’s not just the browser based SSH that GCE has had for years. The way they describe tying SSH keys to IAM roles very closely matches the SSH key management that GCE had when it launched back in 2012.

It’s just a terrible article. It’s incoherent at times (that was the most egregious example) and seems to reflect the author’s bizarre misconceptions about the world (e.g. claiming “Jace” is a non traditional name).
