Person at the end of the article is missing the point because they don’t understand that bitflips and other corruption can happen with digital storage.

Good post; tl;dr these sentences at the end: > In my notes, there’s a phrase which really stuck in my mind – “understanding the numbers has to come from understanding the business. People go badly wrong when they try to do it the other

Have you tried the Vision Pro? Not doubting your take here, just curious if it's informed by the actual implementation.

How? Who will represent that viewpoint in the halls of congress? The EFF is politically ineffective and always has been for reasons I don't understand, and no one else seems to care.

I'm with you -- I've assembled a lot of random stuff recently and I wish everyone had instructions half as good as IKEA's.

The problem with used IKEA furniture is that it's all DIY-assembled. You don't really know if it was built properly.

Have you never been in an IKEA store? They sell a lot of solid wood. I have IKEA furniture that's lasted for decades. It's value-optimized, but it's usually well designed; if you put it together properly, it will last.

The problem here is what people believe are reasonable and what is actually reasonable are pretty far apart. COVID will cripple you for the rest of your life if you're unlucky. Chance of that happening increases greatly with each infec

Are you seriously suggesting that everyone in the USA should be forced to live in apartment blocks, or am I misreading you?

The article is pretty light on facts. I wish there was some real analysis here. There's no shame in going to CSU traditionally; lots of great schools in the system and certainly fine alumni.

You can be arrested for a protest. You can also be shot and killed without consequences for protesting in some scenarios. Whether either of these survive a SCOTUS challenge, not sure, but in the meantime it sure fucking happens. We’re less

I think "attack" is a bit much; C++ isn't an attack on C.

That’s simply not how people work. Everyone is programmed by environment and genetics. Breaking your programming requires a change in perspective (remember Alan Kay: “point of view is worth 80 IQ points”) — whether forced by circumstance, c

That's not true; apps with non-native UI were usually scorned by Mac users. KPT and other Metatools or (whatever they called themselves that week) stuff was an exception.

Consoles have managed to get special pleading in every law of this sort so far. It’s a Trumpian level of avoiding consequences.

Big retro revival in the 3700’s, huh?

BBEdit is more Mac-like than Sublime and handles multi-gig files with ease.

Some idea of the flavor of the language would be helpful, though, and that's surprisingly hard to find at a glance. It seems to be another Lisp variant? Maybe?

I think the Interpedency books are his best so far. I don’t think anyone will accuse him of being original, but Harry Potter sure wasn’t either, and Scalzi isn’t a shitbag, unlike Rowling.

SVN was a thing by the mid-2000's, and history from that is easy to preserve in git. Just how old are the sourcebases in question? (Not to shoot the messenger; just like, wow.) edit:typo

God, yes. Ruby is also at least somewhat usable in the space, FWIW; I've done RPi hacking with it in the past.

> can panic at three different places Remember that some of the point here is that it _will_ reliably kill the program if that happens; in C, you might be silently reading or writing to the wrong address 3 times.

Between COVID and the millennial cohort in SF, that's not going to be true very much longer, if it is at all today.

There's plenty of latent demand; there isn't currently a viable charging network and NACS doesn't take over until 2025.

Both things can be true. I’m sure there are ways to streamline the bureaucracy. But if you ignore Chesterton’s fence you get Superfund sites dotting the landscape. The rules exist for reasons.
