Perhaps you should review the definition of tangential. The medium of something is hardly tangential to the self-nature of that thing. We could go more into Kant, but why waste the time? Not that I expect you to (re)consider anything other

Sure, and to take it further, I could’ve just copy and pasted it myself and not complained at all. It all reduces, but it’s simpler to just have categories of content. And this is a category error of a blog post in tweet form. There’s proba

Nice that they’ve found an even worse method of longform writing than twitter posts tied together. I remember a time when “blog about it” was a pejorative dismissal applied to weird ranting. Now, I think of that phrase except I’m pleading f

How do we know this is leakage and not just a hallucination of the format the prompt is clearly expecting?

Poker definitely seems to fit the bill here. There’s a lot of half decent players who never seem to stay up for long or for very much. Might have less to do with the game and more to do with play style and discipline, though.

I perceive google as a less stable company than most. An equally effective product in any of the areas they occupy, coupled with leadership and commitment to not shut the product down after six months isn’t that high of a bar to compete wit

I agree with most of this, however in practice, it doesn’t really go down this way. These large corporations often turn diversity goals into pseudo-business number games. To put it bluntly, they’ll hire a certain number of brown folks and

Let's just keep it real... In a practical, engineering environment, the talk of race and status has no place. If you want to code for a living, write good code, and do your best to find somewhere that will pay you adequately for your s

Oh man, yeah there has been some absolute dogshit ones on LLVM. The Docker one has also seen some pretty freaky weirdos. It’s a bit sad, we’re all on the same OSS team in the end. I’ve never found it that difficult to keep it cut and dry on

It’s such a shame, i really envy some of the features in Swift but I just can’t justify the risk with how Apple-centric it is. Too many times I’ve been bitten by ducks that quacked just like that one, I suppose. I’d love to see like a gccSw

Insanely cool demo. I’m amazed I can open this and it run at 60fps within a ~~second~~ on my iPhone. Crazy the power that I have with it, when it spends most of its time in my pocket or playing music. I wish we could show some of the early

I mean, I heard it put this way and it has always stuck with me: every conversation here is implicitly inclusive of @dang. He’s wholly responsible for the vibes at large, and in the past several years it has become blindingly clear that he

Yeah, sorta proves my point. I expected it.

Rust? Well, speaking of egotistical open source people that refuse to change...

Basically, but there corner cases too, if a package uses SRFIs, not every implementation will support them properly. For the most part, it’s like you described but it’s worth running the tests on every new package you work with, in my exper

Why would you use Racket when it barely resembles Scheme anymore? Also, Akkuscm exists now, so you can get free r{6,7}rs libraries for most scheme implementations from there, in a sane, pragmatic Scheme environment.

I can see based on your perspective that you haven't collaborated with hundreds of STEM professionals, postdocs, or researchers. I can also see that your comment fails to address the meat of mine, despite being a reply to it. Python is

What scientist is going to want to write JS when they can choose Python? I've worked with hundreds of scientists from different domains over the past two decades and I've literally never once heard of wanting to use Javascript for

Yeah, that thought crossed my mind, and I'm sure now that you mention it, it must have crossed his too. Still, couldn't he just have written that?

From Bruce of all people, this is a wildly provocative, unsubstantiated claim about routine takedown behavior from the feds. I mean, nobody hates the gov side of the cryptography wars more than me, but this type of article is well below tab

This is one of my favorite software projects of all time. I remember seeing this several years ago and it has driven my imagination crazy since then.

I knew this would be in here somewhere. This definitely stirred something when I first saw it. If I hadn't already begun a career in computers, I'm certain this would've catalyzed it.

Every day we stray farther from the light of XML. At this point, it’s just plain ridiculous.

I'm sorry, can you verify that stat? Upon a search, I see references to that number but in relation to older homeowners.

Peter Norvig comes to mind when you mention incredibly articulate communication style and in a respectful way, ridiculously prolific. I've turned to his work a lot throughout my Python journey, it took a lot of hard work to unlearn all

Realistically, if it’s as bad as they say, it could be wise to become a little bit liquid right now to reinforce your buying power during the apparently inevitable massive dip that’s coming. Personally, I don’t see it getting nearly as bad
