I thought it came across as genuine and reflected the sentiments of past interviews with I.P. Sharpers without the tint of rose colored glasses (as these interviews were made at the time). As someone who has spent quite a bit of time in the

The episode of Array Cast released prior to this one is also worth a listen: I.P. Sharp and Associates - A Company Ahead of its Time[1]. It is also pieced together with “found” audio of Iverson and others, and it’s narrated by Bob Therriaul

This reminds me of when I am trying to find something in a cabinet, but don’t really look very hard, and my wife will say “did you even try?” and find it in ~1second. https://git.sr.ht/~evanhahn/setBigTimeout/tree&

As an additional example: when I was first cutting my teeth on the web as an amateur in high school, I remember reading about the ills of "mystery meat" navigation and I can recall the hard fought battle to excise it from UIs. Now

The first thing I did was head over to the Combinator Birds [0] site to see what this one is called. It’s the B3 combinator, also known as the Becard. It’s really fun to puzzle out combinators made from smaller combinators, but it doesn’t

Oh my god, yes! I would love to not only understand my great grandfather as a real life person but also to have context of the world in which he lived. Hell, I wish I had home movies of myself with my parents as a toddler/child that

I think about writing the config in fennel all the time, but I’m not a big config tinkerer and already worry about struggling with Lua when I have an upgrade gone awry. I’ve found the neovim ecosystem to churn way more in recent years than

Admittedly, I was being a bit hand-wavy and describing a bit more of how it feels rather than the way it is (I'm perpetually annoyed that promises can't be cancelled), but I was thinking of the code I've seen many times acros

As an aside: It’s way less ergonomic, but you likely want `Promise.allSettled` rather than `Promise.all` as the first promise that throws aborts the rest.

I've always wanted to take an apple watch and use it like a flip phone! This is pretty fun! I've never wanted the distraction of an apple watch and I appreciate the ability to put this thing in a pocket.

I feel like such a killjoy, but the first thing I thought of is the ongoing lice “epidemic” among people with school aged children in NYC. I have never liked it when the ACs drip on me in midtown let alone a hat dropping on my head!

In fairness, it's doing a bit more than "just" pattern matching. It's very similar to the `with` expression in elixir: https://hexdocs.pm/elixir/1.16.3/Kernel.SpecialForms.html#wi... You can us

Better still—they didn’t copy ExDoc, they are using it exactly as it is! It’s really refreshing to see the sharing between Erlang and Elixir. Having been stuck in the js world my whole career, it’s really cool to watch a community that’s ro

I’ve never gone so far as to pull in fp-ts into a work codebase because it often doesn’t feel that it’s worth the headache of arguing for it. However, I check back in from time to time and was recently confused as to whether or not the comm

I had been wanting to sign up for exercism, and I love APL, so this was a good nudge. However, I'm browsing the language tracks, and I don't see APL. I see this post is from July 2023—has the APL track been removed since then? Or

There is a difference between shutting down a plant and decommissioning. I’m solely focusing on the company cleaning up the mess that politics caused.

If the public doesn’t trust the organization that controls the nuclear waste, they will stand in the way of new nuclear plants. Like I said, take a look at Indian Point. There was an uproar about releasing the nuclear waste into the river (

To add to this: Nuclear advocates would do well to keep up to date with the Indian Point decommissioning in order to propose solutions to the knottiest problem for nuclear: the plants are owned by corporations who do bad things. If you want

Some people drape bacon on the limbs to attract flies to pollinate the pawpaws! You can also try hand pollinating with a soft brush if you’re not interested in adorning the boughs with rotting meat.

If it’s a boy, I would just let you know that he’s going to pee everywhere during diaper changes. Not all the time—only when you least expect it. Keep your cool and try not to leave stuff downstream that you wouldn’t want pee on.

You can build new soil on top of contaminated soil to bury it. Here’s a permaculture site in an old rail bed in nyc that has nasty stuff lurking beneath many layers of new soil[0]. Not really sure if trees uptake heavy metals. 0: https:&#x

Speaking of brownfield, you may (more likely not) be surprised to know that golf courses are pretty nasty places themselves. You can find soils contaminated with arsenic, mercury, and cadmium from fungicides. So those rolling green links mi
