That's why I included "flexible column widths" since it's definitely doable if you use a fixed layout table.

The amounts could just be tied to the steps. So maybe step 2 is to add 3 tbsp of ingredientX, and step 5 is to add 1 tbsp of ingredientX. So programmatically, the ingredients list would be the cumulative amounts of all ingredients described

Agreed. I don’t know how this would work in practice, but it would be great if dev education/bootcamping explicitly incorporated these kind of tight-rope walks. Most difficult things in life turn out to be balancing acts between two op

It’s more about accuracy. Most designers specify an explicit spacing between the edges of the characters and other elements on the screen. If the devs can’t access those edges, then they have to adjust in order to compensate. So having accu

One thing I did not like about CubeJS (not sure if they've changed this), is that their integration is its own standalone server. Like, if you have an existing server, it didn't seem possible to just integrate it into what you alr

Nice! The space is pretty ripe for disruption because basically all of the tools are pretty old-school. Here are the things I really wanted: 1. Create dynamic schemas. Some of our clients had their own dimensions that they cared about. 2. P

I just want everything to be a TV show now. After so many years of quality TV shows, going back to movies feels very underwhelming. Like, I'm only going to spend the next 1-2 hours with this character - why do I care about them? I&#x27

I tried reading a Forbes article earlier today, and gave up within 5 seconds after the third popup prevented me from reading the article.

It's not an argument at all, it's just a good joke. I'm actually undecided on crypto. Yes we're a professional community and this isn't reddit, but we can have a bit of humor here and there.

I came across my favorite description of crypto just a few days ago on Twitter: "imagine letting your car run idle so it can create solved sudokus that you can trade for heroin".

Now that I'm re-reading it, there are a lot of little smug droplets throughout the article.

I recommend following Aella on Twitter. She does some really interesting (and some very controversial) twitter polls: https://twitter.com/aella_girl

I agree that ultimately, people should be allowed to self experiment. But looking at his situation from a pragmatic perspective in the 70's and 80's, would it not have been wiser to be just a bit more careful with his advocacy? Pu

The ability to use subtle psychological tricks to influence the citizenry of a foreign adversary is perhaps the most surprising new feature of a world connected by the internet. I have no idea how a nation as large, diverse, and fragmented

Agreed. I think Alexander Shulgin deserves some blame as well, though maybe not to the same extent.

I didn't realize Pinterest had fallen victim as well. Never really liked the platform but always liked their logo. Sad.

Can you recommend any good alternatives?

I just went through this video earlier this week, and while it assumes a bit of knowledge, the modeling is as simple as possible and I found it to be a very good introduction: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nBdGm_d_8XE

If more activists took your approach, I'd be far less skeptical of them. edit: I should add why I tend to be skeptical of them. It's not just about idealogical purity, it's that in order to truly make progress, you have to re

There's another comment in this thread who attended a college talk by the authors of the article. They describe how the faculty attempted to direct the conversation towards discussing equity from the standpoint of redistribution, and t

Bridging the gap between our perspectives would take more time and effort than I'm willing to commit, but I do appreciate being able to converse like this without descending into a heated argument, so thanks for that.

That's a good point

Sure thing, I don't like heated conversations either. To explain it succinctly, I've become wary of a certain group of people attempting to use subtle language choices to slip in their controversial ideas without being noticed. Eq

I didn't read the whole thing but I had the same impression. I have no idea how it ties into equity, apart from "more accurate scores might help anyone who would otherwise be disadvantaged by the scoring system", which is sev

I've been building a "programming" language for UI designers, and I had no idea how hard it would be to make a language feel simple. I have no experience in this area, so I'm just trying to make it feel as if it could fo

Again, I am not saying that instinct is better than research, I'm saying that just because something has been "researched" does not mean that it's true. If there were research showing that putting certain plastics in

I don't think your comment addresses what I actually said. I wrote that I don't think there's a single correct answer to the question of "trust the experts or my own instinct" that applies to all situations. Your ex

You don't need to dig into philosophy and start talking about Karl Popper in order to explain the problem with "trusting the science". Science is and will always be our best shot at being correct about the universe, but it&#x
