It's very disappointing that such a talented person was pushed out, especially someone like Chris who seems to be a genuinely good person. It's all too common to see brilliant founder types be pushed out by power- and influence-gr

If you're considering moving to Boulder, it'd probably be better to work with a company based there. For one, Colorado companies get the mountain vibe of taking off for bluebird days to go ski, and two it has a really good local n

This reads like an elaborate humble-brag. You'll have no problem finding a senior position in cyber security if that's what you want. Like others have mentioned, sounds like you could probably do a lot of good (for the public and

If all you need is CRUD you could use Postgrest [1] which generates the endpoints for you based on your database schema. I use it to build admin backends. [1] https://postgrest.org/en/stable/

Yep, same here. It’s infuriating. I’ve been using nitter to get around the modal, but who knows how long that will continue working.

Keen insight but not sure the factions would be aligned by political party, or if there’d be some other fracture line like corporatist (neo-liberal/neo-conservative) or populist (Bernie/Trump).

I had a weird idea related to this about 3D “shaping” massive structures in outer space. So, say you go and mine an asteroid, then put a bunch of metal into a giant “box” for lack of a better word. Then say you could tap into a large energy

Bills like Patriot Act do have to be re-authorized, and it actually expired in 2020 because Trump threatened to veto. Weirdly, nobody seems to know this, and it seems to be continuing in zombie form, because banks and other institutions sti

Although the term wasn't coined yet, the idea of engineering consent goes back even further to the Enlightenment period, when Reason sought to overthrow King and Church. Weishaupt and his Illuminists (of conspiracy theory fame) reasone

I've used eSignatures.io in the past, which uses Markdown for contracts, and found it to be exponentially easier to use than DocuSign, so I appreciate simpler solutions coming into the space. There's a couple reasons why I wouldn&

In the PR description, if you expand the sections "Baldur’s Gate 3 Demo", "Shadow of the Tomb Raider", etc. it shows the performance improvement of capturing the respective games. Looks like a very significant improvemen

Was shopping for tablets online today for use with Blender and they’re not cheap. Thought why couldn’t I use my iPad as an input. This looks awesome. Any chance it’s pressure sensitive? Edit: Was looking in the wrong place to see if it had

Finding a new habit to replace the endorphins will make it easier to break the old habit. Maybe something like weight lifting, swimming, rock climbing, or martial arts would suit you?

> Nearly all of Texas' electric generation units and transmission facilities have passed the state's new winterization rules That is very slippery language and the rest of the Yahoo/Reuters article reads like a puff piece.

That's an oversimplification. I wouldn't dismiss Mearsheimer so easily. He has applied his theory with great predictive power, particularly in regard to China, for example. You might be interested to read his debate with Zbigniew

We have a tendency to reify science as something sacred or uniquely human, but the scientific method is essentially an algorithm. Like the article said, AI does not need to develop theorems in a post-theoretical mode of science. AI only n

You could say the same about humans; that we do not understand anything ourselves; that we’re mechanisms that do work. But it’s a moot point. What I’m saying is that “reason” is an anthropocentric concept and is not a prerequisite for the p
