In the 90s, every year during my school's spring break I would go to my dad's office in downtown San Francisco. I was too young to be alone all day. There is a fountain that survivors of the 1906 earthquake would meet at on the an

I see people using enshittification incorrectly. It's not just that a service is poor. The point is that people make a free and good service to cultivate users. Then, once people are established and moving to another platform is expens

I was skeptical too. But after reading the JEP i think i am convinced. It makes an analogy to packages. We allow classes to exist in the default package. Therefore, I think it's reasonable to allow methods to exist in a default class

So how this works is interesting. I assumed they were just making any method called 'main' sugar for public static void. But it's not that way. Instead, apparently the proposal is to allow for main to be an instance method.

I am assuming these are not new programmers though. When I learned Java as a first language, I remember being very confused by those words. They did not make sense to me for months. To a noob, it's a meaningless incantation that needs

This is hard to write, but I was subjected to involuntary treatment. It ruined my life. And I know I am not the only one. While Deboer talks about involuntary treatment getting harder, this is right or qrong depending on how you measure it.

There is something different about the way the Feyman lectures is written. It's been years since I have read it, but I remember it explaining how one could derive the change in atmospheric pressure with altitude by just knowing a few p

About 10 years ago I tried to write a gameboy emulator based on a pdf document i found on the internet somewhere. I ended up finding the documentation wrong in a handful of places, which made the project tedious. Did you find that document

I think we need a term for 'taking public information and deriving nondisclosed information from it'. It isn't really spying, but it's more than just access. It's not about agreeing or disagreeing, but I think a lo

So to address this, I need to take a detour for a second. Let's suppose there are two competing theories to explain the cause of the seasons. To the ancient Greeks, spring and summer signified the six months when Persephone returned fr

I actually thought it was a very astute observation. Something could be very close and still be unknown, eg. a secret model of plane, or new weather phenomenon. Reading between the lines, his point is that it's unlikely that ET only fl

But how accurate does it have to be to be considered perfect? As in within one hz? What about very high frequencies, where a single hz is much smaller, relative to the frequency?

No children were involved. Society has forgotten why we were ever opposed to child porn.

I have been using CodeWhisperer for about 6 months now (internally). I think it's just a little late. 2 years ago it would have been amazing. 6 months ago it was decent. But now that people have experienced GPT 4, it seems downright qu

On the contrary, I think this is the only solution that will actually occur. The reality is America is incredibly difficulty to change. There are just too many people and groups with interest. And I don't even mean this in the conspira

Tl;dr but this debate has been done, a million billion times already. The author concludes with a decent summary of the issue (ie. Is this the best method among the worst?). But doesn't actually find a better way of doing things. And i

My initial thought was: 'Why does this need to be top-down mandated by the law?' but it turns out the article addresses this: > Critics argue that it’s fine if technological advances deliver the shorter workweek without governm

It's an idea that straddles science fiction and reality, but is simple enough for normal people to understand and have an opinion about.

This is a footgun I found at a few Amazon internal apps recently. I was able to clear away probably 3/4 uses of useEffect--some of which I was guilty of adding. Given how common this error is, there is definitely an unmet need. What

I think I disagree, or at least we might disagree on what operations are common in React. When I have seen useEffect used, it's most often uneccesary. People are using it to create dependent state (ie. when x changes, then recalculate

I agree about 400 banks failing would likely be due to some greater catastrophe. But financially I think it's the same. If 400 customers each use 1 bank each, then a single bank failure means the FDIC needs to make whole one customer.

Twitter lost any good will after it censored the NY Post. At this point, the public has no trust in the Twitter censor board to use their position for good. I am sorry these people are impacted by that.

There is always a way to manipulate it. In this case, one would seek to downplay their own cohort.

This is only tangentially related, but when I was a teenager I practiced remembering my dreams. And now I cannot forget them. This is actually negativity impacting me. I often get reality confused with something I have dreamed. I cannot alw

Huh, funny because I am thinking the opposite (that it's bold to suggest they dont have a purpose). I'm not basing it on any facts or data. It's just funny how our gut instincts are so different.

Social security is going to run out of money soon. It's tragic that we cannot seem to agree that it needs to be fixed, nevermind how to fix it. I'm not trying to start a flamewar. But this seems like a flaw in democracy. Why are
