Had no trouble with these except for the three or so panels of bright green which were almost impossible to distinguish. I got the confetti in the end but wasn't paying attention to beeps so not sure if I got any of the bright greens r

All blogs should have an RSS feed - I wasn't able to find one on Simon Willison's blog. I find the page format hard to read - a mass of text studded with links - it would benefit from more typographic structure - headings and so o

If they were at the same height on a collision course then to each other their lights would appear stationary on or near the horizon. Its possible there were some other lights that the helicopter pilot mistook as the plane. From the crash v

As a newly landed immigrant to the US I worked at Bell Labs in Naperville IL for most of the decade of the 1980s and I have a few fun memories mostly of extra-curricular stuff. There was a Unix version of the popular Aliens video game built

Was thinking of some recent videos where a small drone closes right up to an individual soldier and explodes - assuming those aren't AI generated. But I expect there will be drone hunting drones and drone dogfights will be a thing.

Given that drone warfare is now a thing this seems like it could be useful as the basis of a personal drone detection and warning kit that soldiers could wear over their helmet to spot drones and give say an audible warning in the soldiers

Interesting that there's no need to have greens around the hole. In real golf, construction and maintenance of the greens is a primary cost. I play a simplified form of golf in public parks (or any semi-open space) using one club and f

Seems like a good strategy is to circle slowly until you pick up a sonar trace and then try to follow it and get in the opponent's baffles. Converting the sonar trace into a map of the opponent's position over time is the essentia

A new framework every 18 months or so is fine until you get too old to learn the new tricks. In my case that happened with React at age 60 when having used callbacks for a decade or more this new f%$^&led thing called a promise came abo

This is fun. Strategy is to get in line with the hole so there's a chance to hole out next shot. Would be more realistic if you could hit any number of spaces up to the die roll. Maybe have different clubs - driver = die roll +3, iron

Seems like Elon decided to use his platform for political power, and is learning politics as he goes at the Trump school. He's achieved star pupil/teacher's pet status helped by his ability to buy his way in. Despite all the

Incorrect - the fatality rate of covid pre vaccines was 1 to 3% worldwide, and about 15% in older more vulnerable people. Flu fatality rates are around 0.1%.

In civilization yes. But these were not the conditions under which human evolution happened. It's about having the judgement and balls to take a risk like bluffing in poker. Also it's not the size of the dog in the fight its the s

Attractiveness may be the wrong question. Women tend to prefer "bad boys" who may protect them better from other males. Some women also respond sexually to stressful or painful situations that they wouldn't normally seek.

The traditional Unix man page or list of options output with --help is often a firehose of details that most devs will never use. Sometimes there are a few examples shown of common use cases which is a good place to start learning the tool.

Building a reputation is important. Can you make a contribution immediately? I was pulled into a firefight where the biz folks were micromanaging the tech folks with twice-daily meetings, with little progress being made. Two or three obviou

That's further north than the direct line - I know I have fond memories of hitchhiking Brussels->Aachen with my girlfriend in the 1970s. Direct Paris/Berlin train needs to go along the Sedan/Bastogne axis that is not very

The route is surprisingly Z-shaped mostly due to geography, since the Ardennes lie on the direct line. Also the development of the rail network in either country took no account of the other country.

Elliott Wave Theory one of the most used/followed technical market tools posits that price movements are determined by social mood and not by news. So it should be hard to win based on front page fundamentals. That said I came through

Let your kids do a hardware autopsy/reverse engineer/disassembly on it. Can play medics or just see how it looks/works inside. Not $800 worth but better than tossing it.
