A side note about my perspective: I studied economics as an undergrad at a time when the Northwestern "pure rationalism" school of thought completely dominated. Some of the conclus…

This is a non-fiction piece, not really a news story. So not everyone's cup of tea. Joan Didion style. I enjoyed it. I would summarize it as not being about AI per se. It's nominal…

And then the software would never be widely adopted. FOSS is what it is and the dynamics around it haven't really changed. What has changed is people wanting the rapid adoption rat…

You can also use webhooks to deploy with each GitHub push. The advantage over GitHub actions is you don’t have to store any secrets on GitHub or with integrators like Vercel. Just …

Larry Summers has a track record of not believing in market failures, just market opportunities for private interests. Economists vary vastly in their belief systems, and economics…

This doesn’t seem like a real fix for the issue. This brings the number of spoofable sites way down from all MC users to just those who send mail through CF. But it is still a big …

This might be the impression on first glance because it uses the word "state." But keep reading, and its much more akin to what Solid is doing. In fact, the new docs openly credit …

At any given level, people in startups tend to have more actual power/authority, with fewer or no processes or procedures already in place to slow them down. This is part of why st…

I used to think info about whether an account exists should not be leaked in the password reset flow, and I designed sites this way, but then someone pointed out that in practice a…

I work a lot with startups/small companies, but not necessarily tech savvy ones. They have a hard time understanding at first why they are so targeted with phishing attempts. Often…

React borrowed these concepts from Solid, SvelteKit, and Remix. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. It’s pushing things forward. (And by forward, I mean, yes, also a little …

A quote of interest: "When offering a generative AI product, you may need to tell customers whether and the extent to which the training data includes copyrighted or otherwise prot…

I'm not saying this is acceptable in any way... But there IS something you can try to get resolved fairly quickly if it ever happens again. Be sure to claim domain ownership in the…

I get that there are pros and cons of different licenses, and reasonable people my disagree, but this is the first time that occurred to them? This far down the road? No one forced…

Quite possibly a very fair point. I don't use Terraform or Spacelift or care at all about these particular companies. I DO care about open source, and I care about BSLs and CLAs an…

> It’s also worth remembering that Terraform itself is built on top of multiple open source libraries and an open source ecosystem. Without the volunteer work of hundreds of unpaid…

Yes Both And also the more mundane reason that an extra hoop to jump through is unnecessary and does more harm than good.

If that is the standard, only homeopathic stuff should be available OTC. No [side] effects at all. :)

I'm going to take a wild guess you have never been prescribed BCP. No, no one explains it. They expect you to read the instructions, which is not an unreasonable expectation.

Oral contraceptives do have side effects, including effects on mental health. Sometimes the effects seem to be positive. Often, they are quite negative. These effects are not taken…
