If this is of interest, I’ve been publicly releasing a series of educational Nix videos I originally recorded for developers at Shopify that you may also enjoy: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLRGI9KQ3_HP_OFRG6R-p4...

This is why the Framework only reports matches with a very coarse granularity.

This post is a summary of such a book? Are software developers unqualified to summarize books as they read them?

Sure, and perhaps a solution for America would include work and study permits alongside permanent residence in the category of exceptions.

Tourism, certainly, but that's already in the toilet regardless of who our border is open to. Even for overseas countries, we imposed no restrictions on trade or commerce, only visitors. I doubt this accounts for a non-trivial fraction

Additionally, it didn't take a lot of reading-between-the-lines to infer that they're planning to close the border to Americans in the next few days as well. NAFTA must be an impediment here.

If black holes don’t exist, what happens when gravity overpowers electromagnetism and the strong force in a region of high mass concentration? I don’t get what the alternative hypothesis could be. Do we just get arbitrarily-large neutron st

It's true that a flat tax rate results in the same disutility for everyone, and if your goal is perfect equality of disutility, it seems correct. However, as a counterpoint, following the same theory, preferentially taxing the rich con

If you squint hard enough, the browser is just a different location for the same old crufty TTY subsystem that normally lives in-kernel.

It seems quite obvious to me that the 0.6% is already accounting for there being multiple tests, and even if not, confounding factors are likely not completely independent per test.

Finger basically just reads that file so if it’s a named pipe you can have a process generate content on the fly.

Yeah, because this number includes initial setup costs and any penalties for backing out of contracts contingent on plans scrapped after the change in government. I’m way more interested in the next year.

That’s closer, but I also think it’s wrong to look at the brain as a GPU of general mind stuff hooked up to a CPU of attention. I think it’s likelier that each portion of the brain fires away at up to whatever its natural “throughput” is (s

Yeah—technically, a scalar is just whatever type can be used to multiplicatively scale a vector in some given vector space but, at least in computing, it’s pretty clear that people just mean “some kind of integer or real number, definitely

I still don't feel like this is more than 5% different from a combination of "thing" and "shit" in colloquial Canadianese.

This is clearly false. Subsidizing the conversion of the the entire world to clean energy does more good than burning an ounce of coal does harm. Conversely, planting one tree is insufficient to buy an SUV guilt-free. There’s inherently a c

Hey, maybe this is why there are such bizarre rules about sizes of liquid containers.
