It’s not a fundamental of English, because it’s (that’s another example) impossible to hear. You’re (that’s another example) being pedantic about an artifact of our writing system, which is strictly not language. I’m being pedantic about th

I read it more as an example of how to use CATS to do this sort of fuzzing.

For cycling, sugar (really a mix of glucose and fructose, which sucrose or sugar is an even mix of) is a necessary component to a fueling strategy because even a marginally fit individual will burn more in an hour than can be processed by t

Perhaps, but there are plenty of examples of people being convicted for murder because they hit and killed cyclists. If it's good enough for the legal system... At any rate when they shout at you, roll coal, swerve to force you off the

Don’t disagree with you on the epistemic point, but for that example, I don’t think anyone in the USSR was under the illusion that they had achieved communism. During the 60s the propaganda (originally for and then also used ironically) was

Some is self inflicted, but not all. They have stricter fuel policies that reduce what can be imported, not enough made in state, and high gas taxes. But it’s also cut off by 2 mountain ranges, which means it gets the majority imported by b

Acquisition Musk is clearly different than Tesla (I have friends that work at both, day to day experience is nothing alike), maybe Twitter gets to what Karpathy describes, but I'm not convinced his big hammer approach to turning it bac

I would say what they call 'composition by capability' is a theory of categorization, in fact similar to Wittgenstein's family resemblance theory. That said, it's not obvious that the underlying data model needs or shoul

Never used C#, but in Java land we have a similar dsl jooq, which supports everything i’ve ever needed, including window functions https://www.jooq.org/doc/latest/manual/sql-building/column-e...

This is generally overstated in both directions. Every time there's an actual analysis of the american publics opinion on cycling, the majority is neutral. Which is not to say smashing windows is a good move. Though I would also contes

Disclaimer I'm already a big fan of Scala, but I agree that the tooling around scala.js is lacking and the std lib is a rather large blob to ship around, especially when compared to alternative functional languages like ocaml. However,

Incompatible versions of transitive dependencies, incompatible libs that your web server added, this is the default in Java unless you pay close attention to your dependencies.

Your comment sent me on a bit of a rabbit hole, it turns out you can look up commute distance histograms in the census data here https://onthemap.ces.census.gov/ I looked at a few dozen cbsa metro areas, big cities, small c

Yeah, seems to be a common misinterpretation of this Scientific American article from the 70s (only unlocked source i could find) https://cdn.antymateria.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Histo... On page 1

I agree this article doesn't present any evidence for the question it poses, but it's ridiculous to say Van Gogh couldn't be color blind. Especially given your examples are not impacted by the most common forms of color blind

Complexity may be the wrong word, but what I mean is surface area for bugs you are responsible for. I also question whether you really bought a horse in this analogy.

Actually a more complicated message queue, because it's on you to implement all the queueing logic. Then back it by a potentially non-durable data store (its very tricky to get redis durable and ha) with no monitoring? All of this to a

They wouldn't have to actually play the songs, could just use the offline listening reporting endpoints.

I’m not so sure, when I look up the definition of simple it starts with “Easily”. In my native english speaker mind simplicity is a type of easiness. Though if we want to make the clear distinction, like in the Clojure talk below, for the p

If you take your car to a track day it’s generally required that you wear a helmet (and a bicycle helmet wouldn’t qualify).

There are plenty of people with throttle-less electric hybrids/mountain bikes as well, but they blend in with the other cyclists (until the road tips up hill).

Upserts are more powerful because the client can always generate a new uuid to get the POST behavior you desire, but the reverse is not the case: there is no straightforward way to safely retry timeouts, partial success, side effects, etc.

This is all true, but in 20th century America the term libertarian got re-applied to a right-wing, small or no government, free-market approach. Now days most Americans are completely unaware of the French anarchist usage of the word. The o

Cars directly kill 3x the amount of people by firearm homicide (in the US), along with an alarming increase in pedestrian deaths. Not saying we should ban cars everywhere or anything like that, but the status quo is not good enough.

That's the main story for targeting JS, but reason native is not dead (unless something has changed recently, I haven't been actively working with it for a while).

I personally have no interest in any upgrades over my 20 year old car. Maybe electric or no car at all if my living situation changed to support it. Obviously my hand will be forced soon enough as it slowly degrades.
