Essential part of my home studio audio stack (Serato / Ableton / OBS / BlackHole / Aggregate/Multi-output devices in Audio MIDI setup). Agree with others in this post that it's WAY too hard to get a stable stac

Thought of chess immediately after seeing the title. I really do recommend everyone play. There are innumerable insights like this that arise (though this may be true of any sufficiently complex game).

Someone once said Javascript is a "Scheme-like language with C-like syntax". Always loved that and ashamed I can't remember the original author of the quote. Not Crockford... Maybe Michael Fogus?

At some point I translated this demo into es6 if anyone's interested [0]. The focus was really on writing the cleanest idiomatic es6 I could (at the time :)). Check out the tests to see how far I got [1] Pretty fun exercise =) [0]: ht

is it even true that most software engineers are white and male? We're discarding indian and chinese engineers?

They compared a web found in native woodlands to a web in a zoo enclosure to demonstrate the potential to detect local animal populations. The zoo had more species because it's a zoo. They didn't limit the study to only zoo-bound

Your "macro" picture is still making a number of questionable assumptions, especially the amount of CO2 that would necessarily be burned.

I suppose. I do remember stories from undergrad engineering about the development of the first moon landing and the associated technologies. That and maybe the Manhattan Project. In both these projects, budget was essentially unlimited, and

I can imagine a geothermal-based extraction process to mine + a wind/solar transportation method. This works fine even if it takes 100x longer to transport. Can be fully robotic piloting for instance. Bottom line I'm not sure it M

nice =) Brooklyn resident here and while I don't garden, I do photograph birds in the community gardens near me during migration season. Love having them there - you can find a different set of species there sometimes, I think those th

Add in that it's theorized they explicitly seek out areas that are hard for humans to get to.

by djtriptych 3y ago
Yes. I think this is exactly right and feel like I'm waiting for people to get over the shock. It's really interesting (but yes, initially scary) to think about what really makes us human. In a sense we _get_ to think about all th

I feel like I've been thinking about something similar for over a decade as well lol. Great take on it, esp the labeling at each level.

I've been a pro UI Engineer for a long time, and this is really impressive. They got a lot of things right. The multi-level scrollbars at the top are probably the best solution I've ever seen to a really common and difficult probl

i agree. LLMs are not built for structured reasoning or even citations.

To add the above - I also meant to write "Professionally-written Javascript" in case it was the grammar that threw you off. Sorry!
84.
by djtriptych 4y ago
To be fair, now that almost all professionally-written passes through a rewriting compiler, Javascript actually has evolved to a ecosystem that _can_ handle rapid (non-breaking) changes to a language spec. I'd also argue that the major

Still, it's dismissive to place it into a class of personal opinion, when the colloquial understanding, especially here, is that there is no expectation of evidence behind it. I think a fairer term here is 'argument'.

by djtriptych 4y ago
Is it fair to call it personal opinion if it's also the ecologist consensus viewpoint?

It's such a consistent experience I don't think you even need the YMMV qualifier. Source: I also own an M2 Air and have been blown away by it's performance in "day to day ops" as you call it. It is by a wide margin

if you're 5'9" / 200lbs you'd better be a powerlifter to be considered fit.

I'd guess 10 minutes up to an hour on modern hardware, say a new mac studio. That would be in lightroom - I'm guessing they're using optimized software for this though. Taking the actual pictures takes at least couple minutes
