This looks really cool, but heads up, there were no up front descriptions or links I could follow to find out what Gleam is (a programming language that runs on the Erlang VM).

One of the most exciting features of Zig, but am I correct that this doesn’t apply to types themselves like comptime generics in Zig? I find that to be one of the most powerful ide…

this is almost in "not even wrong" territory, but for the fact that autotrophs are definitionally the entry point for abiotic energy into edible calories for animals, and the obser…

This isn't really meant to replace such things an environment where you have a rendering engine that supports CSS— I think demoing it on the page is more for showing off how portab…

I was facing consistent multi-hour outages during the workday and looked into business internet options with my ISP (Cox) and from what I could gather they _did't even offer_ any p…

Anecdotally, I remember multiple instances of coworkers walking out in the middle of a shift when I worked as a cook in a chain restaurant due to the combination of high stress (in…

I also prefer hooks. They give you the flexibility of mixins with a better composition story. And reusing hooks in my experience is more like a lightweight OOP style, compared to t…

this may seem like a coherent view of history if you view it as a series of decisions made by great men based solely on their personal beliefs, as opposed to protracted contests ov…

this is a hollow charge of hypocrisy, as i am not currently in 1865 arguing against the 13th amendment by saying the emancipation proclamation was enough. neither does the insuffic…

in 1861 more than 1/10th of what would later become the army of northern virginia owned slaves— 1 in 12 enlisted men and over half of the officers. "only" 1 in 20 white southerners…

I'm old enough to remember when Web 3.0 was another name for The Semantic Web[1]. I'm sure Gavin Wood is a clever person but the opening of this article made him come off as a dotc…

The claim made in the article is regarding saturated fats, not cholesterol, as dietary cholesterol is not obtained from plant sources like coconut oil. Plants do produce phytostero…

the irony is that the subcultural current with which damore sympathizes is generally pretty anti-union as well, but being represented by one probably would've provided him some pro…
