    What I got from the article was that system as a whole is consistently throwing roadblocks in the way of experimental/small-time science. The author focuses on YouTube, but also ci…

    I really like hooks. I previously spent a lot of time in HOCs, and I find hooks much simpler. But I also have problems with #5 (control flow): The main issue I have with hooks is t…

    I for one preferred the diplomacy. The 'magic' involved in hooks is a tradeoff; there are real benefits in the way you can consolidate logic, or mix in behaviors. Personally, I str…

    The comments here seem very negative compared to e.g. the Google employee protests over Project Dragonfly. [1] There are two questions here: whether GitHub should allow ICE to buy …

    Sounds like the homepage copy could use some work. Thanks for the list of questions you had, that's very useful. jsonbin definitely does a good job of explaining it.

    Made it myself in Sketch! It took me forever, I'll probably find a real illustrator next time.

    That sounds like a perfect way to use it. Here's an example of charting data, using npoint.io as the data storage "backend": https://beta.observablehq.com/@azirbel/npoint-io-charti…

    Ouch, that would suck. Thanks for the heads-up.

    Easy - I'll just inject text-based ads into the saved data! (Kidding, of course...) I think it's unlikely that this site can be monetized, so I don't have my hopes up. The clearest…

    Ah, they're just tools that can be learned. I had to run around the company quite a bit to make sure I got all the information right. We don't require experience in any of these to…

    Thanks for the comment -- and it's very accurate in terms of where we'd like to go. On a tangential note: empowering untrained individuals is important, but we often do the opposit…
