Yes that feels like a good characterization. Which, I would say, does seem a lot less black-and-white than the cell phone example, and anyone who thinks it's all settled now might …

Above was a quote from Carpenter, and the Court seems to have called out that the completeness of the record meant it recorded them, 'not only in public thoroughfares', but also pr…

I feel like you’re right, for instance depending on how you define the extra in extraterrestrial. The space station, the Artemis capsule, microbes on interplanetary probes, etc. It…

I'd be cautious for the same reason: thyroid cancers are also positively associated with obesity, and people who take GLP-1s are often obese. Below a table, it says "adjusted for s…

Elixir too (Explorer library; default backend is Pola.rs based) - https://github.com/elixir-explorer/explorer - https://hexdocs.pm/explorer/Explorer.html

He’s 20, right?

Wait you have an API now??? Is it open, is there a waitlist? I’m on a plane but going to try to find that on the site. Absolutely loved your demo, been showing it around for a few …

I’m surprised to find this on the 3rd or 4th page of Hacker News! It seems pretty impressive —- of course, the lack of code on GitHub might be partly responsible for that; there’s …

Me too! I came looking for this sort of meta-comment. I've re-read the paper book a few times now. What makes it my favorite is how clear Norvig's writing is. It's easy to follow (…

I think RocketLab qualifies.

Cool -- not to pry, but I'd be interested in looking at that if it's public somewhere! Could update my intuition.

Oh, hey that's great! So in your case, you're re-using the Phoenix client , and thus the Phoenix protocol lives on so as not to break that. Makes sense. Thanks for the answer -- th…

Ooh, LiveView pattern implementors! I have a question -- I've been tinkering with a custom Phoenix LV client in my 'shop time', so I wanted to ask: are you doing your diffs on a st…

I have a physical copy of this! My parents got it for me at a garage sale in the 80s when I was a little nipper. It has a great programming language “tower of babel” illustration. …

from his twitter, he mentioned a special thanks to @whatyouhide for leading the release process while my arms are not 100% so I don't think so!

I think that's too simplistic, which is why I used a vague term like 'scammer'. Giving money to, say, a powerful criminal mob would be bad. But giving money to someone who is simpl…

That's why the OurWorldInData essay mentioned that some use charities that focus on 'giving locally', even letting you personally contact and vet people. An example of skimming I'v…

That's fantastic! Although personally, while I get a chuckle out of reading that excerpt, I can't actually understand the point of view I'm intended to chuckle at. I don't want my …

Oh, hey! I used Dokku back in the ... I want to say 2012-2013 ? and missed multi-node stuff a bit (nothing that couldn't be scripted around) so this looks cool. I do see that it sh…

Heh, funny, I'm implementing this exact thing at the moment, oddly enough -- rather, implementing a security check that provides that same guarantee you mention, Mixed Script prote…

The author might be assuming public knowledge that some kinds of corruption in the United States, for instance, are getting worse: See [1] https://foreignpolicy.com/2021/01/28/repo…

(Man I've liked these first couple of articles). I see a few comments saying "this is stuff the rest of the world has had for a while now." That's probably true to some extent. But…

Citation needed -- and that silly TechCrunch article isn't a citation. They raised a howl because the plans say they will start on a power plant, whose impact is considered -- but …

This is a hard market to time. Nobody believes the Internet will be IPv6-only within the next few years. There are credible people who believe IPv4 addresses will be scarce and use…

... which, I guess, means I should just look around github for "wavelet compression" and see what code pops up, since that search for good encodings will be done in any of those. -…
