david heinemeier hanson of the ruby on rails fame decided to post a white supremacist screed with a side of transphobia because now he doesn't need to pretend anything anymore. it's not surprising, he was heading this way for a while, but seeing the naked apology of fascism is still shocking for me.

any reasonable open source project he participates in should immediately cut ties with the fucker. (i'm not holding my breath waiting, though.)

i'm not doing databases for living but the idea of stringifying a perfectly cromulent unique number in order to store it in the database comes as slightly weird to me.

it doesn't. that's why we're calling it “spicy autocompletion” .

most of the variance in the genome is linear in nature, by which I mean the effect of a gene doesn’t usually depend on which other genes are present

that person seems homeschooled on absolute bullshit; basic high school biology course thirty-odd years ago was saying otherwise.
