Entirely my opinion, but I believe that there are breakpoints at multiples of 1,2,5. So, changes in org structure are needed to adapt at 10,20,50 (and further at 100,200,500) count…

Same issue. Getting an "internal server error" message

dBase was the gold standard for this back in the 80s, early 90s. Great tool. Both the "dev" part and how it could be made available to non developers. The freedom of spreadsheets w…

I find that, when I lie down, my glasses slip back closer to my eyes just enough to make things go out of focus at reading distance. The weight of the prisms could make it worse. H…

Nostalgic! Turbo C was my preferred IDE over many years in the late 80s to mid 90s. What an amazing tool! Those key bindings, used in so many other IDEs since, are burned into musc…

We have a server which uses Lua based script plugins. They are usually a few hundred to a few thousand lines and get invoked via APIs. I was trying to figure out how Bolt will beha…

This looks awesome. Would you have any data on the performance of large number of invocations of small scripts? I am wondering at startup overhead for every script run. which the 5…

I am planning a startup workshop for a group of undergraduate students. I was looking for a startup simulation tool that could be used to engage them through participation. Ideally…

Take a look at ONDC. They do exactly this in India. Early days, but seemingly successful with very low fees. https://ondc.org/

It would be so much fun if it's revealed that chatgpt is just a front for mechanical turk

I use WP all the time for a variety of nearly static sites that I can let someone else non-technical continue to add content. It works great for this purpose. There is nothing clos…

Indeed.

There will be a significant drop in reported research spending. This will seem like China is doing more research than the US. There will be a hueb and cry. Congess will incentivise…

I have seen several situations where this would be desirable - notably bleeding startups with vc money. There is plenty of window dressing to capitalise expenses and show a better …

I would argue that it really is the other way around - online is just offline with instant synchronisation

I keep thinking of this space but don't know where to start. Any pointers for good resources? - books that are accessible to software engineers with no background in genomics, open…
