Are you familiar with Zig's error handling? Except for the fact that errors cannot contain payloads, it is, imo, perfect.

Bumming a cigarette is how my mom met my dad. I also used to smoke, and it really was, on the one hand, a great way to meet people, and on the other, to maintain casual friendships w/ the people who happened to be around you (e.g., peo

Humans drive great when they're not distracted, with just two 2d cameras. But we get distracted a lot. So an advanced enough AI could easily be better at humans than driving w/o LIDAR, simply by driving as well as humans when not

In some ways we've gone backwards. The 80s green screen computers that my public library I had as a kid were really well-designed and efficient to use. The modern, web-based GUI of my public library today is not. (Though I would say th

Back in the 50s the beats hung out in North Beach because it was cheap. In the 60s and 70s the hippies all had old victorians out in the Haight Ashbury because it was cheap. San Francisco wasn't some obscure fly-over country place, it

I think what you're saying is you think exiling Trump is a one-off, a unique circumstance. Personally I doubt it; I think in things like this, the slopes really are slippery. Time will tell. It's interesting to consider the perspe

So, do people think Trump is going to be a one-off, or is it going to become a regular occurrence that politicians that are deemed to be beyond the pale get digitally annihilated? And if the latter, only losing politicians, or politicians s
