I would agree all models are bad, some models are useful even though it goes unstated. I feel like the author’s point is that asking for “the right model” is the wrong question. I don’t mind argument-by-analogy too much, but I think it

Too bad. Just yesterday I was looking at Yeager quotes [1], these stood out as possibly similar to software, take what you will There is no such thing as a natural born pilot. Whatever my aptitudes or talents, becoming a proficien

FWIW I largely agree with you. Zen is still competitive at ~7nm/12nm with separate corelets, so if they can match 5nm on a single chip, things will be back to normal. M1 has 16B transistors on 1 "chip", a 3950X has fewer tha

I kinda like this version best. It makes clear we're updating a ->head pointer in one case and ->next in the others. I like the elegant version, too, since it can update both kinds of pointers in one fell swoop, but you have to

As far as serif monospace, NSimSun is still my favorite. It's in Windows. I love Triplicate but can't bring myself to purchase yet. I like Equity, too. I think Triplicate is the closest to the old Selectric Prestige font, which

I thought along similar lines when I heard the Las Vegas high schoolers got hacked/dumped. Why not make standard the use of false/given names to these services which can't be trusted with PII but must transact in it? Part o

I believe the ceramics bit is fabricated, and it was actually a photography class. But it hardly matters. It's an interesting perspective, details aside.

A latex mattress topper works great, in my (& a relative's) experience, upon a good old mattress. 3", medium-firm, pretty reasonable cost, just lay it on top. I like using enough layers of sheets so as not to feel the dimple

Indeed. I think, increasingly, Google does not want people going straight to results. I can't find the quote but I thought their original intent was to get people off the search results page (and to their "real" destinatio

The only "surprising" concept in Monty Hall is that a game show host would do anything at all to help a contestant . I don't know if this is just an Americanism, but the default assumption is this guy's trying to tri

I don't know. I'm more of the mind to create a new blog post titled "Everything, reviewed" in which I review every product I've ever owned (worth mentioning), and put all my reviews there. I think you could aggreg

From what I understand, Ultra-Pasteurized != UHT. It seems to come down to the hermetically-sealed containers, or something > Though Ultra-Pasteurized milk is processed to be free of spoilage and harmful bacteria, it is not

Interesting! I could swear organic milk in a carton lasts at least twice as long as regular milk in a jug. It does say ultra-pasteurized (the carton), so I guess I've been drinking basically-UHT organic milk along with regular. The

The appeal is I can just try it without going to a site just to search. I want to search Target, I try !target. I want to search IMDB, I give !imdb a try. Usually it just works. Straight to the results. I hear you on the domain thing

Gastropod recently covered this, I think. I recommend giving it a listen, if you're curious about the, well, science & history behind it.

"Identical" PDFs are not necessarily byte-identical; you can't just check equivalence through checksums. (AFAIK, it's been a while, feel free to correct) I don't remember a good way to normalize/disambiguate,

Nucleo AlienMind & NLog stand out in my memory, they were and are so great. I think Winamp clearly got a lot right. https://skins.webamp.org/skin/bfd4187850616fc9b4e433c4b632b6... https://skins.webamp.o

That paragraph was really something to parse. At first, I tried to read it. Then I realized it was probably some GPT-3 output. Then I realized it was probably some boilerplate lorem ipsum text. And then, I could read it.

Indeed. When you're in the business of taking IP from small companies and calling it yours, canaries start to choke. It's like making a pink version of anything: you're done, you're out of ideas, you have ceased to inn

No issues rendering in Firefox on Linux. GET /random-word/ does indeed 302 exactly once. 22 requests, 344.58 KB / 12.62 KB transferred, Finish: 619 ms, DOMContentLoaded: 483 ms, load: 640 ms. Pretty okay.

I am amazed how well my Zojirushis make rice. One can make the same rice two different ways, consistently (white, umami). No burnt layer, no undercooked rice. I think the pressure/induction makes slightly better rice than the stan

I think an analogy is for buying any tool T, buy your first T at Harbor Freight, then for your replacement T maybe look for a Makita/Milwaukee/&c or even Snap-On/MAC. For many kinds of tools, this seems sensible to me. E

Well I just rebooted my modem, but modem + router checked out (I know the IPs). Rebooted the Pi-Hole, seems to be back up now. Cloudflare is the only DNS my Pi-Hole forwards to. I think I will add another, now..
