I'm glad to see the first thing you mentioned was the value of purchasing software. For some reason software developers are particularly averse to paying for software, even when it…

Indeed, the article mentions Wikipedia experiencing similar scraping pains, even though they already DO have bulk data available.

The maps haven't changed at all, this is a feature at destructuring sites.

> The mess just moves That's exactly the point. The author recognizes that people will extract components, and that is exactly why tailwind is attractive. Plain CSS offers a compon…

I like the framing of organizational slack as immune system, instead of fat, and I emphatically agree with the author. > ...“slack”: unbooked time that isn’t already spoken for. It…

Nope, splitting green wood is much more difficult than splitting dried logs, so I often cut a tree in the spring, stack the rounds, then split those rounds in the fall. People over…

> for reasons that nobody can articulate This is only true if you ignore the role of America's greatest ally, in which case, the motivations become very obvious.

You assume the stone is released along a circular path, but that isn't quite right. When you release the stone you extend your arm forward, changing the arc of travel.

Nice blog! However, when I hear timeline, I want to see a timeline. This is an article ordered by time, which is much less interesting, and very long.

I'm a big fan of Dustin, I think the programming interface electric presents is very compelling, and the benefits are really impressive. The killer feature, for me, of electric is …

I find that Lisps encourage this behavior more than other languages. Many (most?) of the lisp functions I read have the exact same structure: (fn some-function [args] (let [binding…

Except it wasn't $12B to farmers. Farmers have been squeezed by monopolies on both the supplier (seed, equipment, etc) side AND the buyer side (there is often only a single buyer o…

This is a great place to start! https://clojure.org/about/history

To be clear, there's nothing wrong with your approach, and many people implement systems exactly the way you are describing in Clojure using Records (which are Java classes). (defr…

> you trade away your ability to make structural guarantees about which functions depend on which fields You might make this trade off using map keys like strings or keywords, but …

Author is on the verge of having a Clojure epiphany. > 1. You should often be using different objects in different contexts. This is because "data" are just "facts" that your appli…

The absolute best resource I've found for educating myself about this topic is John Vervaeke's free online course "Awakening from the meaning crisis". You can search it in YouTube …

I think the surface area for bugs in a C++ dependency is way bigger than a JS one. Pulling in a new node module is not going to segfault my app, for example.

I'm coming to the unfortunate realizattion that supply chain attacks like this are simply baked into the modern JavaScript ecosystem. Vendoring can mitigate your immediate exposure…

I also had this thought, until I then saw the Greek statues in museums that the Romans were trying to emulate!
