i really feel that the first sentence in that quote is an apt way to sum up a part of how learning and attention work for us as humans. personally i've spent some time thinking about how in my life it is very easy for me to pay attenti

Very clear mental image there. Thanks for phrasing it that way.

a part of me agrees with the aim of what you say: why not start afresh with something that is less prone to accidents? and i do agree with that idea. but i think it is also somewhat impractical to ignore that pretty much every server i&#x27

that was fantastic. i didn't watch the talk, i opened up the transcript and thought to myself i would read a few slides and see if i enjoyed it. that was maybe 20-30 mins ago and i finished it all. really well done, i enjoyed it from s

I see > I don't know how fast the car will go and probably never will. The car was built to thrill me, not kill me. That doesn't stop me from the occasional blast on the highway though. but I am unsure if that means he has neve

nice... does anyone remember a K Car with a supercar engine? that was not quite as crazy as this one, no jet engine, but it was nice. i can't seem to find it but i remember reading about this "sleeper car".

I don't know, for me, the link posted here seems to be a tweet thread, and each post in the thread shows a screenshot of some of the post.

I guess my thinking was based off of this: > Each entry contains (nbits, value) where `nbits` is # bits to be consumed and `value` is normally a symbol, but if `nbits` exceeds N `value` is interpreted as a table index and `nbits` is rein

Thanks for your explanation. I’m not a C programmer over the past decade+ and was never very good at it anyway. But I was thinking, based on your description, I agree that a bounds check would have caught the issue, but I’m also curious if

Really interesting. I wouldn’t have conceived of this. But it only makes sense.

Often people take what’s offered, whether it is a fair deal or not. Everybody isn’t out there negotiating their best possible rate all the time. Corporations have long taken advantage of whomever they can to earn a buck - it’s a time honore

i cannot tell you how much i enjoyed this article. it was very funny. it had so many great elements. a fun tech problem, pizza, getting me to look up what “s-tier” meant, a dash of humor (as if the premise wasn’t already hilarious), the mea

well, this quote from Linus Torvalds is in the article: > "So I’d like to stress that while it really came together in just about ten days or so (at which point I did my first kernel commit using git), it wasn’t like it was some k

i have used cvs, subversion, and git, and to a much lesser extent, darcs and hg. i would have to agree with both the article that this (d)vcs is a breath of fresh air compared to cvs and svn and also with your post and this tweet https:&#x

That is really great context. I appreciate you taking the time to help me understand this all. I'm going to bookmark your post so I have it now. This is all interesting and exciting to think about, and it makes me think of "Should

Thanks. This is quite helpful context. (As for myself I used to write quite a bit of PHP; haven't touched it in some time but I'm rather fond of the language. I don't know anything about React, I think I built a tic tac toe t

Hi, can you perhaps explain what Gutenberg, Divi, Elementor, Aveda, and Salient do? Just a curious party without much knowledge. I hosted WP on a VPS maybe a decade ago. I wasn’t very skilled with it but my friends needed a site. I forgot a

I managed to get my hands on a really old version of this book (maybe 20 yrs old - no ARM I don't think). Do you think that is still good? Or should I just get the new one?
