This reminds me of the Monsanto case, where they sued a farmer (and won) for using patented seeds that the farmer obtained from a local grain elevator which happened to contain som…

I used a rendering library like Phlex back in 2010. I hated it back then and I still don’t like it. They claim it’s faster than ERB but only show micro benchmarks. This is basicall…

We have plenty of controls on money movements. Immigrants who are financially self-sufficient can come here to visit quite easily and freely. They just can't take up jobs. We even …

I keep misreading this company as ClickHole and expecting some sort of satirical content.

This is an issue for all the low/no code tools. Every meaningful problem has a first class SaaS product that solves it well. Notion/Retool/Airtable/Coda/Etc are fighting over a cur…

Notions kinda funny. It has this stickiness among a college aged, tech savvy demographic that’s not generating any revenue for them but has garnered a massive valuation relative to…

I didn’t get the Covid vaccine because of all the medical research fraud I’ve witnessed as a grad student. Remember things like this the next time you try to mandate injections wit…

Gonna send this to my wife the next time she makes us late for an event.

This is hilariously brilliant. I love it.

"Once in a blue moon" -- you mean the thing that constantly happens? If you're not using logs, you're not practicing engineering. Metrics can't really diagnose problems. It's also …

I like how there's a persistent effort to make excuses on behalf of african americans. They're not being held back by history, they're being held back by chronically low expectatio…

Classic crime reporting pet peeve: Market & Powell is right in front of the Westfield. Obviously there's more property crime there. When Police would over rely on heatmaps for thei…

Self driving cars are the future. They enhance pedestrian and biker safety. It's the human driven cars that are unsafe. Allow Waymo on all of Market St. and you'll see it coexists …

They're still alive, so we can probably assume it's causal.

It was a failure because it wasn’t enforced uniformly, not because it existed. We need a new War on Drugs, but crack and cocaine should have equivalent (harsh) penalties.

Hard disagree. Decriminalizing drugs has skyrocketed schizophrenia and homelessness. Drugs should only be legalized in specific, medically necessary situations. Recreational use sh…

Fair, removed that part -- I remember something about Shadow DOM got delayed or had a lot of push back, back in the day -- and I thought it was dead in the water when I started see…

If only Google were as committed to its products as they are to the insanely over engineered proposals that fail to solve any legitimately useful use cases. Half of why these proje…

Religious exemptions are a good thing and should be respected. It’s important to be skeptical of novel religious claims, as they're usually just a cynical abuse of a legal exemptio…

I worked with Bram at Google. He was an incredibly nice guy. He went out of his way to meet with me on a few different occasions. I wasn’t important at the time—I just made a few U…

As if I weren’t paranoid enough about the code I write.
