It feels like it’s probably most applicable to people who do similar work as you and who you talk shop with. I wouldn’t consider these work friends, which to me are people at the same place of work that you wouldn’t hang out with if not for

I daresay ClojureScript typically has a significant influence, but it's more social than technical. Many of the examples and tutorials are going to favor a certain style, and people who choose ClojureScript mostly do so because they li

I probably shouldn’t have said “standard,” but in my experience, they do (usually!) follow certain conventions. They’re not formal conventions, sure, but they are conventions.

In my experience, short identifiers in Clojure tend to be pretty standard things, e.g., f for a function, coll for a collection. Certainly this article has some pretty cryptic examples, but the author agrees with you and me and ends up fixi

Carmack is right to some extent, although I think it’s also worth mentioning that people replace their computers for reasons other than performance, especially smartphones. Improvements in other components, damage, marketing, and status are

I would like to know why Boeing didn’t have a replacement ready when the 757 stopped being produced. I realize commercial planes are not consumer goods, but 2004 still seems like a long time ago. Thus I imagine having a 757 replacement soon

Limits on written records and the limits of what we can derive from genetic analysis means 536 and other years these analyses uncover are probably best understood as local minima rather than definitively the worst.

I suppose it sorta makes sense, if you think of it as a free mobile game model, where the goal is to make more money by get more people to pay (and especially by getting the whales to pay more) and to do that you need new daily or weekly co

I read the original post as saying that no one has pushed the engine to the extent a completed AAA game would in order to uncover performance issues, not that performance is bad or that Bevy devs haven’t worked hard on it.

Fasterthanlime recommended it a while back on Mastodon so that did pique my interest. The focus on AI kind of put me off Zed, though. I don’t know whether that’s fair—I see one of their blog posts touts “Out of Your Face AI”—but that was my

I should honestly give DAP a try in Neovim. I think DAP being newer, seemingly getting less attention than other elaborate technologies to integrate like LSP or Treesitter, and having a more complex UI made me suspect it might not be reliab

I don’t think it will dethrone Neovim for me, but this makes me wonder whether Kate could become my second editor and allow me to largely drop VS Code, especially with the DAP support. The session support also looks interesting.

It wouldn’t shock me if multimodal LLMs were good at GeoGuesser [0], but if we’re being picky, it takes more than a few examples to demonstrate a game is “solved.” I also wonder what kind of data leakage might have been at play, like other

Depending on how work was divided up, it doesn’t seem like the photographer of Jack Nicholson would necessarily know where the image Nicholson was superimposed on came from, so I don’t blame them for not checking with him first.

The only way I could see this not ending badly is if you’re renting space for your friends. Presumably you would be selling whatever you’re renting at cost. Even renting space within a community you’re a part of, like a local makerspace, se

Thanks for the fact check. Saying you can get even better than 4K is definitely overstating it. It’s possible the sources I was looking at were thinking of later eras of film, which I’d assume would have higher quality (and the lenses certa

Thanks for sharing that! I’m sure there’s a lot of nuance. I was kinda shocked at the long list of motion picture film formats listed on Wikipedia when I was trying to figure out the equivalent resolution 35mm film has.

I’m sure sock puppets and voting rings play a role, but “this link was interesting to a bunch of people on sites with some overlap in interests and demographics” seems a simpler and better explanation.

This article is kind of strange to me because it implies celluloid film is low quality, but it seems there’s a rough consensus that you can can scan that size of film in to create good 4K video, if not higher. That’s not enough for the Sph

It’s a pretty strange choice by Microsoft, which historically hasn’t been afraid to have multiple products that are similar to one another, often to the point of confusion.

It is a bit funny the era he compares today to is 1892—the gilded age. Anyway, 1982 may not be a very appealing low-Gini coefficient period to return to, but 1892 also seems like a bad time. I actually found the comparison interesting enoug

This is what my brother and I did too. (My sister was young enough to mostly experience the "entropy box.") If I had to guess, I'd imagine a plurality of lego players do it that way, if not a majority, with smaller groups of

Funnily enough, my impression is that Clojure, the most popular Lisp on the JVM, creates a lot of garbage—probably more than Java—but I believe that’s due to it using immutable collections and not due to it being a Lisp.

Unfortunately, I can't access the full text of the study directly, but I would argue it would be more accurate to say it impacted (past tense) 1 million children, assuming this paragraph from the news story is correct: > Results of
