This seems to be the popular view, everyone has been irrationally cheering for Twitter for 10+ years now but it ignores twitter's long term financial results as we head into an economic contraction. That's the whole thing.. Musk m

It's amazing how many techies seem to be unable to understand this as if there was still infinite VC money and cash raising via stock sale for every company that can't figure out how to make money. If we get a general tech correct

It feels like remote work is a distraction here.. it's more like Musk realizes he bought a company that was in a lot more trouble than anyone out in the public can understand and he's scrambling for anything. Everyone is all worri

This actually does make sense with the traditional difficulty of the L sounds for Japanese speakers due to the way L and R are kind of merged into one sound in Japanese. My father went to Japan a lot in the 80s and always remarked at how th

All I remember of this early period was just how much OS9 would crash when using "Professional" applications, making any performance increase in the Mac almost pointless. I took a "fun" elective course in electronic medi

This goes all the way back to the 1990s at least. I had it happen to me when I was a college student. I spent a bunch of time at one point writing a linux kernel module to support an audio chip. All the code was working great, but I had

Depends on how you value the company. Twitter is very overvalued if you look at accounting & finances more than influence and popularity and hype. Consider revenue and income (losses) and Twitter doesn't look good at all, they loo

Arguments from academic and mathematicians will/may favor provability. Pure Functional where everything is function composition have more hope of producing a valid mathematical proof for a block of code. CS/Math will favor this

People who think this isn't happening aren't getting "how" it's happening. BigAnnoyingCo isn't going to lay your whole team off and hire an entire new team in Elbonia. They're going to not replace "B&

The price spread on this versus the Air is questionable. Stock price on this for 256GB is $600, the Air with 256GB is $750. But the Air 256GB is $660 on Amazon right now. $60 for the M1 and a few other advantages seem worth it.

It's very hard to believe things are worse than they used to be. Go back to the "golden age" of manufacturing and boom times in the US post WWII. Drugs were not illegal, drunk driving was not illegal. Drinking lots was tot

Good article but it glosses over other factors.. like the piano mostly losing it's popularity as an instrument in the 20th century. Guitars really rose to prominence in the mid 20th century. And then there is the general demise of pl

Apple should change the rules to reject apps that try to open links in an in-app browser instead of sending the user to Safari. Maybe as a workaround let Meta put up their own browser on the app store and make it possible for a user to choo

If spending lots of money to win a Cat 3 race and knowing you did it with money and equipment instead of fitness and smarts is OK with you more power to you. But if it means thousands of dollars spent on a race that likely paid < $50 to

For sure, and the bike industry tricks huge numbers of slow people into vastly overspending on their bikes with no real benefit. They basically never test these aero bike gadgets on a rider. Aero helmets and clothes are probably the only on

He is most definitely trying to sell you parts. Just not aero parts, and this whole article is partially marketing to tell you a bunch of the aero parts don't really matter, so you should buy his parts instead, and use his tires, etc

I'm a former racer too and this constant equipment arms race and arguing is just so fatiguing. People can argue about analytics around equipment till pigs fly. It's all still just an order of magnitude smaller than the differenc

We have several hydrofoil ferries here in Massachusetts and I think they must be these new types. They are very smooth, and very fast. Very very desirable to take them versus the regular ferry because they make certain tourist visits day

There's good advice there but you definitely need to not go crazy and get into premature optimization land. If you've got a tight section of critical code like he does this is a good technique, however reuse of the same objects th

WASPS have long been happy to discriminate against Catholics. They will discriminate on multiple axes. You can be white and not check off enough boxes to be just like them and you will then be discriminated against.

If they have 4 properties on the street they are likely renting them and just trying to create barriers in the market for someone else to be able to rent units. Multi-family units in that area would probably reduce their ability to raise

Audiophile is full of nonsense but one of the more hilarious ones in something like this where the goal is "no digital" is it's been a long time since you could guarantee there was no digital going on between the instrument a

Motif was pretty horrific to program. It was full of what we would recognize as pointer abuse today. I was always a little upset when Gtk took off in the late 90s, because it had a bunch of similar pointer abuse. It seemed to be heavily i

I guess it's just in which inconvenience you pick. It seems like there is no EV that is free of something stupid that the car manufacturer is making you put up with. Maybe Tesla it's these general annoyances. Or collision repair

I would be curious if this decision hurts the Republicans going forward. Religious Americans essentially held their noses to vote for Republicans just to get this issue rammed in. Now that they have gotten what they wanted, are they still g

Something definitely went wrong here though that more guidance was not provided to the tech journalists. Most of the mainstream articles make it seem like they a) did not read the paper b) are incapable of understanding the paper c) were no

The games industry seems to be massively overrated. People who think non-game software is devoid of interesting problems to solve have blinders on. We hear so many more problems about bad working conditions at game companies than any oth

You need to compare 1944 commercial yields vs 2022... the commercial/industrial farmers in 2022 have massive advantages that they didn't have in 1944.
