And most people problems are communication problems. Engineers aren't engaged with the product vision or the customer base, and are allowed to silo themselves. Product doesn't see …

Oh man, I remember in 2000 when I first started working in the industry we had this database build process written in Java that took almost 30 days to run. The delivery schedule wa…

My dad taught me to read with Dr Seuss and the TI-99/4A BASIC programming manual. Starting writing my first programs at 4. Love that old machine. There was a sort of Gradius knock …

So let’s set aside for just a moment the notion of single payer healthcare as an answer to this. Why hasn’t a point of competitiveness between insurance companies ever been that th…

If you’re regular and become irregular, it’s often a sign that something is off, or if you’re into middle age, that your body’s hormone balance is changing. In either case it’s som…

Oh good. I was literally wishing for this on Saturday when trying to parse the table of which mileposts were closed on the blue ridge parkway.

The thing is there are solid, replicable patterns for optimizing graphql. The way we use GraphQL is to expose "everything" to the frontend folks so they can work closely with desig…

I preordered Starlink in March of 2021, as soon as my first rural isp reneged on 50 megabits and sold me 5. 2 years later in western Virginia I still have no eta for my order and c…

I mean they kind of say in there. It's an early emergent and it has broad leaves and grows dense mats, which inhibits native species from emerging. The native species are more suit…

Feels like a prime opportunity for a National Park. Restore it to the point where it won’t degrade further, add a museum, plantetarium, library, and preserve the land around the te…

I would love a game that melds witcher style open world "ronin" with a tactics-style game like Fire Emblem. Sort of a wandering knight in a broader war sort of thing. The tactics-s…

I find ADHD to be an "occasional" disorder. I feel very much like the author much of the time, but honestly I want it to continue to be researched as a disorder, because I want str…

This is absolutely correct. Neither chanterelles nor puffballs are "foolproof" mushrooms, even slightly. Mistaken puffballs are probably the number one cause of serious mushroom po…

Neither is a bad option, but there's plenty of room in between. Series B, C, are often still pretty collegial, and you'll still get the opportunity to know the founders. The market…

You can use SSH keys for VNC, too. Would be neat to see a PoC that allowed you to invite someone to remote control your computer temporarily via their github handle. https://ubuntu…

You know, I really should add a post soon about algorithms, papers, and textbooks. You make an important point which the first responder highlighted, "avoiding the destruction of b…

I knew I was forgetting packages. I do in fact use Tableau. Will add it. Thanks for the catch! As for LaTeX, it would have never occurred to me to add it. I have no idea why not, b…

I think it's great that students and young professors in the sciences are taught to code now. I've even taught some of them. To me, data science is more than understanding statisti…

Author here. Not all RESTful APIs will fit into a framework like this, and the choice of RethinkDB limits its applicability to a narrower community, but I intend on supporting othe…

The second line like the density of rods/cones in the retina. Also looks a lot like a space filling curve. In short this looks like it could make an interesting data structure...
