This is really neat. What's the site? I'd love to see it. And could you tell us more about the DOM diffing algorithm?

Last month I had a family member go to the hospital (things are okay now). We called an ambulance and then followed it to as it took a route to the hospital that was twenty minutes longer than necessary. When we arrived, we asked if they we

I think it's natural and healthy to have a revulsion towards unnecessary excess. It's not that they're $550, it's that they don't need to be $550. Choosing higher quality groceries, ordering delivery instead of go

My computer speakers live on a bookshelf in the center of my apartment, so I don't want them to sound muddy from the side that they're not facing. I wanted the Homepods because they're omni-directional, they sound great, and

I hope this leads to some way besides Airplay to play arbitrary audio with no delay. If Apple had just included support for Bluetooth audio (or God forbid, an aux jack) I would've bought two full-sized Homepods to use as computer speak

After a few failed attempts to begin to understand the Lambda calculus, this is the one that finally "stuck" with me. Looking forward to future articles in this series! This part: > encoding a datatype with lambdas means repres

A bit of an edge case, but I recently managed to move all my important conversations with friends to Discord - except for one friend who didn't use it. Since he also works in tech, we just made a Slack workspace for the two of us. I ac

I hear this explanation a lot. What I don't get is how Google, a company known for being exceptionally clever in how it manages engineers, hasn't realized that their organizational structure causes this sort of build-and-abandon p

It's even more infuriating knowing that Grubhub is running these emotional "support local restaurant" ads that imply that using their service is somehow a form of activism while they steal from those very same businesses.

I know for many of us a chair is a worthwhile long-term investment, but for those of us on a budget, I can recommend the IKEA Markus. It's sturdy, costs less than $200, looks nice, and I routinely sit in it for hours without getting un

I'm working on my long-time side project, a general-purpose programming language called Kythera. Inspirations include the compact grammar of Go and the type system of ReasonML. Uniquely, types are first-class and can be treated like an

I despised the academic parts of school. The work was hilariously irrelevant, the requirements totally arbitrary, and the expectations set so ridiculously high that even though I've been in the workforce for a few years now, I still ha

I'm surprised no one's mentioned one of the greatest advantages of walking and talking - spatial memory. I used to go to a therapist who would hold walking sessions along a trail or path in a park. The best thing about it, besides

I've been toying with the idea of running some "chatroom experiments" - chatrooms each with different functional gimmicks, one of which would be capping the user count allowed in each channel. I think reddit's robin [0]

Every now and then I daydream about what it would take to totally re-invent the frontend stack with today's knowledge that the web is a place for applications, not just documents. There are over 40 years' of legacy and backwards-c

During the Hotline: Miami run this year the runner mentioned that on certain GPUs the game would crash unavoidably after 25 minutes due to a memory leak, and that if you wanted to increase the FPS you could plug in more mice. None of that p

I honestly don't remember exactly where, but I was reading a wiki for psychonauts once and it provided a scale for the potency of a dose (e.g. No effect, threshold, etc) and the metric they used was the observer's ability to consc

As someone with depression, this has been my experience as well. When I'm depressed I feel like I'm seeing the world for what it really is, and that the times when I was happy was when I was deluded. When I started antidepressants

My understanding is that even humans don't fully know why neural nets are doing exactly what they're doing. If we were indeed able to just press a button and have an AI give us a finished track (which is not what YACHT did here),
