Yes, I know. You don't need to tell me that.

I suspect this is related to what Nikhil Rajpal was doing at NOAA. He was originally reported to be asking about Google sites. https://www.wired.com/story/doge-engineer-noaa-data-g…

Sorry, [1] should be https://github.com/tc39/proposal-realms

This is a really good question. You would want to ensure that the templating library cannot get access to the http request library unless the templating library is explicitly given…

Great list! I noticed Tastypie wasn't included. I've really liked it, but are there reasons I shouldn't be using it?

Thanks for the book recommendation! Just bought it. Agreed that smart contracts and technology in general could be used to reduce transaction costs.

I wasn't until this week, so apparently I'm projecting just the right amount of knowledge :D Thanks for the link! I've been looking for opportunities to learn more.

This is really interesting. I've lately become more curious about theories of transaction costs - how traditional firms might have an advantage because they don't have to bargain o…

Thanks!

Very cool! Thanks!

Can you expand on your process for using TLA+ in web development?

What kinds of libraries did you use to build this? I see you have a webpack bundle.

I've been experimenting with turning a work application into a PWA, but ran into a problem - all the stuff that would be great to cache was behind an authentication wall. None of t…

I work for a mill that cleans and sorts grains and beans (taking the rocks out, stems out, etc.), and it's fascinating to see the parallel invention of something really similar! We…

The study showed that having more books was correlated with children being more successful, but that doesn't mean that having more books on shelves is actually the cause. It's more…

"I really don’t like criticising colleagues, a tendency I’m guessing we all share in science." This. This is everything that's wrong about modern science.

That's definitely a valid point, but there's two things that make me disagree. First, if you look at the game with the perspective of making the game enjoyable to women, you wouldn…

Sorry, I'm having a hard time figuring out what your question is getting at. Are you saying that the stereotypical programming lifestyle is equally appealing to men and women? Just…

It sounds like you're saying, "Programming was offered to them, but they didn't take it, so apparently they didn't want it." But what was "programming"? Was it a skill/profession, …

I thought this was extremely interesting but can't upvote this. Was it flagged for some reason?

Nope, this is a legitimate Excel issue when opening CSVs in Excel. If you know a fix without editing the cell data type and saving back into Excel format, I'm all ears! Edit: I'm r…

I'm always confused by psychological references to Descartes "I think, therefore I am" statement. Isn't this instead a statement about knowledge? That is, starting from no assumpti…

I'm sorry, "get sex"? Not with that attitude!
