Nilocshot··on A Beginning for Mathematics
Author posted both on his personal site, and this newletter(?).
Nilocshot··on Environment variables are a legacy mess: Let's dive deep into them
This is where I like things like Tilt. If you're deploying to a k8s cluster, it's probably a good idea to do local dev in as close to a similar environment as possible.

Bit more of an initial hurdle than "just run the docker image"; however.

Nilocshot··on Findaway's new terms of service are unacceptable
I currently use Tidal, though their player is not as polished as Spotify's is unfortunately. Still very usable, just a few bugs here and there.
Nilocshot··on The End of Scantron Tests
The scantron forms that were in use while I was in high school had a sort of meta-data section, where students would put their name, the date, etc. One of those boxes was labeled 'key'. I always assumed it performed that function, but I never tried it to see.

Maybe the intention was to make it easier for teachers to identify a student maliciousmy marking it?

Nilocshot··on A note on the argument about the 'morality' of adblockers
As sort of an aggregator of content or a commission based system? Or more like a business with employees that produce content, such as columnists / reporters for a newspaper?
Nilocshot··on A note on the argument about the 'morality' of adblockers
The major argument against adblockers (at least as far as I have seen) is that it deprives content creators a source of revenue. I can't disagree with this statement because it is true, it is a (read: singular) source of income that we (read: users of an adblocking program/method) are eliminating. I for one believe that they should ge something.et paid for their work, but ads just don't seem to be the right solution. I know there is paypal donations, and patreon subscriptions (or similar services) but these don't seem to draw people to contribute. I can't seem to think of any other alternatives to these, but I'm sure there must be something. Anyone have any ideas?
