Exceptional people come from many places. Really good generalists seem to come from very eclectic backgrounds, and hiring (and other) systems seem to implicitly filter a lot of thi…

Have a look here [1] and here [2] - I think they are good resources, but fallible in the long run. I think yes, I do, often confirmed by communication with people I know (i.e. i su…

Can you elaborate on this stance? Feels like a judgement and an underlying assumption on a couple ends.

The material difference between people we bar and do not bar is not large enough to constitute a difference against competing with people we assign within the same sex group [1][2]…

Is this happening? I believe there are ~10 trans ncaa athletes. We're just hunting them. Why?

But that's a contradiction, no? We're saving women from other women and barring trans people also (ones we consider men) because of a perceived risk that I don't see evidence for (…

The question is: will and or when will the response to this violence exceed levels which can be controlled by the same mechanisms? I believe there is a window here, where in most c…

Why would they do that? Once they have their win-condition, there's no reason to innovate. Only to reduce the costs of existing solutions. I expect that unless voice becomes a para…

As an aside, do you use dvorak as your keyboard layout? The ' for 1 typo is quite rare with qwerty, but I could see you meaning '1900s, though that becomes two characters in a shor…

I think, unfortunately, this is something which requires the development of good taste: the ability to distinguish good abstractions and clean implementations in advance of their c…

Original title: Container + persistent storage: Cheapest and easiest for someone else to manage? I have a rails app which is containerised (agnostic, but currently Docker) and (cur…

I seem to remember a particular blog post I may have found here which, as an exercise in thinking outside the box, outlined a number of things one can do given the resources that w…
