    The Two Kings and the Two Labyrinths is a page long, and you can find it online (html). It is a small example of his style. If you like that one, then you will probably like his ot…

    What about banning the postal service from selling customer's data, and funding it some other way? What about changing the "do not call me register" to a "please call me register" …

    I took my laptop for repair to an Apple store in Germany. After that, they kept emailing me, despite me asking them to remove me from their mailing list several times. I then wrote…

    I think a tree view was promised (listed on a presentation) when Flutter 2.0 was released, but no details were provided, and I haven't heard of it ever since.

    Some companies even do this for job applications. A manager has a person they want for a role but, because of policy, they must publish it on their employment website, and go throu…

    I don't get it. As a pibe chorro, you should have just taken it and ran away.

    I would add to your excellent answer an anecdote about the tricks of a previous government (with mostly the same people as the current one) to hide inflation: the Secretary of Inte…

    Since Argentina started having its own currency, it had to reset it 5 times, dropping a total of 13 zeroes. I have memories of two of those resets and, similar to what you say abou…

    You will be compelled to exchange your dollars at the "official" exchange rate (which is about 1/2 of the real market value), so you lose ~50% there. On top of that, you have to pa…

    Fiscal deficit. The public sector grows and grows by hiring friends, family, and party members. In addition to that, every government contract is overpriced for kickbacks, and the …

    Treesitter is not JS (although the Wasm version can be used from JS). Lezer ( https://github.com/lezer-parser/lezer ) is similar (it was inspired by Treesitter) and is written in T…

    Thanks for the link. Do you know of any examples that use this crate that would be easy enough for a beginner to start learning how to use it?
