They are called computers because the ladies that used to do the math by hand had the job title "computer"

and other almost walking words like:
slink
glide
hurry
bolt
duck-walk and Groucho-walk

More like LinkedO(n) amirite?

and the devil's work is never done...

Oh, it's an op-ed by Horowitz. I really wish I had an internet-wide op-ed filter, since op-eds are purposely shitty takes published to increase engagement without the newspaper needing to take any journalistic responsibility.

"AI companies cannot expect to dictate how the military uses the tools they sell" - What's your source for this, Hegseth? All this AI tech needs experts to improve it *daily* (especially in red vs. blue situations). Otherwise Marines in boxes would still sneak by. What is this, the Sun?

Mine is actually my handle: hypaethral (or hypethral)

Meh, 24 beers would be rough, but 24 tacos is only ~4k calories. 10 miles requires being only a little bit in shape (running in general is mostly just
pain tolerance and pace awareness).

I think this is way more doable than winning a fight with a bear (or even someone in a higher weight class)

Probably the insistance on icons for every little menu item is a stepping stone to symbol-only. I wonder how circular menus/actions would perform?

Honestly, the more I read about it, the more it seem like typography may be a dead end in AR due to low density and focus requirementn(except maybe in Mandarin). Symbology seems more useful + less invasive, though maybe highlighting and retexturing would work? Again, hard to find references.

Yeah I've been combing the lit (and even random Dribbble stuff) to try and find a better AR typographical approach and it's pretty sparse. I'm annoyed Apple sacrificed mobile and desktop for this but their business heads know this is The Way™️ to avoid being disrupted.

I'm pretty sure this entire design change is just to unify it with the AR glasses they're launching soon. They really needed something that would work on mobile, desktop and literal glass...

Also they couldn't completely copy windows.

i built an entire x86 CPU emulator in CSS (no javascript)

you can write programs in C, compile them to x86 machine code with GCC, and run them inside CSS

Yeah, but it's not as funny as "wonder bread"

In the early years, I'd also stress prioritizing opportunities that have width over depth. Once you have the basics down then it's worth specializing. Otherwise you can get trapped in a dead end speciality or worse yet promoted to a technical leadership position you're unprepared for.

Why won't he release the plans for the Trump senior center?

But that's not an easy bolt-on if it's possible at all. So props to y'all for keeping it real and better!

Like I'd love:

Some stronger guarantees, particularly gates around user functions to avoid certain V8 deoptimizations at runtime (like polymorphism)

Nominal types for so many things

Library defined generators for types (like CRDTs, serializers, stringifiers, parsers, pretty printers, etc)

Y'all have done an amazing job actually meeting the design goals! github.com/microsoft/Ty...

I would pick a different set of design goals today, but back when you started... it was the only way really. Today I'd go with something stronger than just* structural typing

(* load bearing "just")

"algebra chapter 0" is a solid book

I found having a background in abstract algebra helped a ton (up to modules). Without it, the examples were hard to parse. Also "An Invitation to Applied Category Theory: Seven Sketches in Compositionality" was really useful for anchoring as I learned more.

An old TTC ad from a while back

Additionally, I believe that all syllabi and homework is best headered with AI instructions in 2pt white text on a white background

Apparently it's contemporary kid slang for "that's a lie" too so...

there were seven finalists that made it to the standards committee

3 of the 7 were round, so the scanner could scan from any angle

but IBM proposed the boring square barcode and they were so huge that they won the selection process

I think a more revealing question is "what is the thing you are asked to make going to impact" and then compare the answer to the asker's. Architecture should be a side effect of need but...

I almost always choose speed vs quality when implementing a feature/test. However, several times when I could have coded worse and faster I chose quality because I didn't trust leadership not to build on it (and then make me retroactively maintain it)

it means not having to choose which bills to pay this month but not having to choose where to invest your money

Please read the study, see Figure 4.

#Strawbuilding #Strawhouse is so obviously convincing that it's almost funny that I still have to explain it everywhere.
Study shows how far you can transport insulation materials so that it still extracts more CO2 than it emits.
Straw doesn't even fit fully on the scale.
