   I think it was simply the rise of machine learning frameworks. Python was always advertised as good to prototype, test ideas etc. Then the network effect compounded recently: https://youtu.be/ZTPrbAKmcdo I’d even risk sayin

   But at some point, the new rewrites will also become boring when most of the job is done and only the edge cases are left to polish. Will there be enough enthusiasm by then to keep the project on-par with the more mature one? I personally b

   If the zoning laws in a place aren’t the same as the US/Canada, everything will look different. Here in Brazil I also walk 3 min. to the nearest market, public transport is quite accessible everywhere. Schools can also be nearby and wa

   Yeah, I don’t think the curl example was meant as a knock against curl or advice not to use it. I think any command-line user would agree that curl is not bad or bloated software, which is what they criticize. The point seemed to be that ev

   I still have a bit of this, but I try to be realistic that hoarding too much shit is a waste. I simply try to filter whether that is something really worth keeping. Then I save it if it’s something I’m very interested in or if it has any se

   I think this “power user” ship has sailed already. See Google locking down Android, for example. They’re an established monopoly at this point and if the last Chrome antitrust case shows us something is that they won’t be penalized for any

   There were also mistakes in using “it’s” instead of “its”. But these things are ignored by most people anyway. I guess my problem with the article is that it’s a bit confusing. It started talking about people not being curious and using tec

   I think the “secret explanation” can simply be things you don’t know (or that most people don’t know) because they’re not interesting per se, but when combined they make an interesting whole. I enjoyed some books that don’t have anything un

    I guess at this point it’s safe to assume humanity won’t regress to a time before computers anymore.

    I think it’s worth remember that at any time a service like YouTube can do something that like everyone off. It hasn’t happened yet, but when it happens, people will need a place to go to. Now imagine if people start thinking about it only

    I just checked the prices for my country and I’m surprised how cheap this is. I’m 90% sure I’m buying one just to play around with.

    My mom often asks me to “fix” her phone, which means that she simply ventured to some unfamiliar place and doesn’t know how to get back to where she was supposed to be. For her, when something like that happens, the phone is “broken”. She h

    For the vast majority of people, including professionals like doctors, a computer or an OS is not a subject of interest, it's a tool, and they want it to be as invisible and reliable as the electricity that powers it. The moment the to

    Working for a bank did make me think much more about all the vulnerabilities that can go into certain tools. The company has a lot of bureaucracy to prevent installing anything or adding external dependencies.

    As someone who sometimes downloads random models to play around on my 16GB Mac Mini, I like his suggestions of models. I guess these are the best ones for their sizes if you get down to 4 or 5 worth keeping.

    I don’t doubt it. Sometimes when I feel overwhelmed with these addicting apps, I delete some temporarily and just the fact I don’t have them in my phone anymore feels like some part of my mind that was being dragged down is finally freed.
