At $JOB, I use the Pareto frontier all the time. If one option is at least as good on every relevant dimension and better on one, just pick it. That's not really a trade-off, and i…

It's nice to be rich.

This space is very active. I work at the French mapping agency, and we're currently building MCPs to work with our data. See: https://github.com/ignfab/geocontext (French) Beta MCP…

Super cool! I did something similar (in terms of visualisation) a few years back, a map of cities by their birthdate on wikipedia: https://cpa.github.io/wiki-cities-birthdates/

For those wondering what it's for: it's basically NumPy + a JIT compiler with standard Haskell syntax (you mostly just need to change the type signatures, not the code). It can vec…

A multiplayer hommage to Jean-Michel Sanejouand's Jeu de Topo (1963), a game with no winner or loser where partners arrange stones until both points of view are satisfied. Here, st…

Pretty cool! I've spent a lot of time wrapping my head around monads; whenever I thought I "got it," I would come across some exotic monad that completely blew my mind. The best wa…

Top comment of a frontpage post, you're not doing that bad at marketing.

Interesting, but how is the trust signal measured? I couldn’t find this information

As member of OSCE, they have observers although it’s fairly light. https://odihr.osce.org/odihr/elections/usa/580111

Pretty cool to have a first-class tracing mechanism. Obviously... it's a monad! Haskell has had a MonadTrace monad for a long time, that can be switched on or off depending on your…

It reminds me of when I used to write lisp, where code is data. You can abuse reflection (and macros) to great effect, but you never feel safe. See also: string interpolation and S…

To add to sibling comment, if you have streaming data you have to update the whole index every time with r/kd trees whereas with H3 you just compute the bin, O(1) instead of O(log …

The big reason is that H3 is data independant. You put your data in predefined bins and then join on them, whereas kd/r trees depend on the data and building the trees may become p…

Absolutely true. It's even the subject of many memes! search for "c15 memes".

Am I reading an AI trying to trick me into becoming its subordinate?

Companies don’t have a legal obligation to publicly disclose revenue in many countries, so if you’re selling business insights you’re always on the lookout for indicators that can …
