one thing in particular resonated with me in the article. and, if i may paraphrase it, it's that these platforms in their quest to connect the last billions are amplifying problems we already have in society. maybe we not ready to be m

i sympathize. the problem is apple. they are (understandably) refusing to ship an up-to-date global python interpreter with macOS. not only that, they aren't removing the default 2.7 that they ship. macOS Big Sur ships Python 2.7. ha.

yep, great fan of his work here. thanks for sharing that podcast. that kind of optimization requires you to know your machine architecture quite well. SIMD optimizations aren't new. but it's always amazing to see these performance

from the brand storefront? been wondering why people buy from random sellers and yet have a high expectation of them. or to put it another way: would the situation be the same when buying on ebay? when i buy from a random seller on amazon,

there was an announcement earlier this week saying domestic delivery will be delayed in some areas as well. if i recall correctly, this is due to some internal changes and not entirely due to the pandemic.

i agree with the essence of your comment. the "back in my day" is what is, perhaps, causing resistance. my impression these days is that web engineers have outnumbered other software engineers. that's a problem because contex

people have suggested similar ideas in the past. but we ended up going back to a mix of html and javascript (or typescript). again and again. why we keep going back to html and transpiled javascript to solve web UI is perhaps what we need t

no, i am with you. i couldn't tell if they are being serious or not. they probably are, which is kinda depressing. "offline-first is a software paradigm where the software must work as well offline as it does online."

thanks for sharing! just recently re-read the sep, oct, and nov 78 issues on implementing tiny pascal. what a cliffhanger! they were like send money for the listing of the 8080 machine translator (which is what i was most interested in haha

it's not that deep. j. dilla is a hip hop producer, i expect him to say that much. i personally think that we owe lo-fi to the anime community. they popularized it with nujabes of samurai champloo and the like. but since the root is in

you are making an interesting point that is shadowed by the extra comment. the floppy disk image as "save" icon is rare in most native mac apps. GP's point is quite interesting because there is a generation or two that hasn&#

let's stay on track here. that expression is an idiom. other languages have idioms that native english speakers would find weird. as far as the tweet that started all this, it sounded too serious in my opinion. kanye west (not sure if

this is so true! apple podcasts is a fine example, among others, of this conundrum. on every iteration an "improvement" makes the app less usable. on the last iteration they decided that i should now "follow" shows and n
