I first think of React's re-licensing from Apache, where under the new license if you sued Facebook for patent infringement for any reason, you would lose the patent grant to use React. React was already quite prominent in web technolo

First off, in actually using Zola or Hugo, there really is minimal difference in syntax, and I really have to squint to see whether there is stylistic input from their host languages. Second, people should use the tools they want to to get

The thing I find the most valuable on KOReader is something I haven't seen mentioned yet: the book map[0] It shows you chapter and section divisions in a single screen, along with black bars to show you which pages and chapters you&#x2

It seems that the students who actually reported the ruins may not have been the ones who graffiti'd it. They supposedly heard from other students who'd discovered it before. Whether or not that's true is harder to say.

I have a suspicion that Twitter laying off so much of the software staff was very influential for people with hiring abilities. The company didn't crash, and they (relatively slowly) began shipping new features again. I think that coin

I believe you mean troglodyte homes. It's literal Greek for "hole-dweller" but become an insult by association.

Hmm, Claude Shannon was an American (the model is ostensibly named after him), so maybe how he pronounced it would be the correct pronunciation. That said, every language on earth will adapt foreign words into its phonology. The alternative

Goodhart's Law isn't a problem immediately. If you want more code to be written, and the only feasible way to write it to goals is to heavily use AI, then you might run into the problems of AI-generated code, and an infrastructur

These are indicated through context menus throughout specifying what the responses should be. It's a minimal UI though, and where `git rebase` is confusing magit rebase is confusing.

Southwest 1380[0] is a case where the cowling didn't quite contain the thrown rotor blade. They were very lucky that only one person died. [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southwest_Airlines_Flight_1380

I haven't found much utility in reading Russian-language sources, though I can read the language. Unfortunately I'm not extrapolating, this fits within a very mature pattern. See 'Little Green Men' in lead-up to Ukraine

This might be paranoia, but could this be state sponsored? I can see a lot of reasons for Belarus and Russia to create lots of contacts in EU airspace. The strategy is called "salami slicing" [0] Especially in light of the point t

Hmm, the rigorous systems of measure for GDP were only pioneered by Clark and Kuznets in the 30s and collected widely in the 40s. There were measures before then but they had much less rigor. I imagine the 1880s-mid 1920s were pretty impres

There are two elements of this situation that I'm consistently trying to open-mindedly hold in balance. One part is what I call "The Great Defederalization". In a myriad of ways, the federal state that was erected between FDR

It's not impossible that there's something here, but I think this sort of presentation isn't likely to convince linguists. I in particular am not a huge fan of the infographic[0] that uses the same image asset to refer to a s

I heard Volcker speak once, you could still see him remembering how hated he was for those years of the Volcker Shock on his face. Strained and a little sad.

I'm trying this with learning piano, and I see the advice in a good number of places-- if I make a mistake in a phrase, I repeat the phrase 5-7 times correctly, instead of pushing through. It's been working out well so far-- I&#x2

At some point, identity relies on an official who is legally empowered to make a decision, and people stating things where lying would be fraud. We currently have very weak intermediary steps in the US-- transmitting 9 digits that last a li

A core economic concept is externalities, positive and negative. Positive externalities are undervalued by the market, negative ones are overvalued by the market, like cigarettes. There aren't many ways to resolve externalities. If you

When people describe DNA as PII, I don't think they imagine being involuntarily cloned (yet..), I think they're imagining heritable conditions becoming public information through data leaks. People have a right to privacy from imp

My mom, dad and sister have all done 23andMe, so it doesn't matter if I have or not. They have an entirely complete genome for me. I agree with your limited license idea. It's just not ok that something like that can be dischargea

I think it makes sense to say that all of the music genres that were on the radio in the 90's are pretty much the same genres today. Radio country music in particular has been remarkably stagnant. The names of the artists change, but w
