All these Steve Jobs wannabe's somehow always overshoot yet also entirely fall short.

This is orthogonal. You can do this _and_ still use Obsidian since a vault is just a directory and notes are markdown.

They encoded the billing rules into the fabric of spacetime, making them a fundamental property of the universe. Now there is no backend anymore, only reality. That will be $6.62607015e-34 please.

There’s something especial about crappy diner/gas station coffee. I can’t enjoy American diner breakfast (eggs, bacon, toast) without crappy drip coffee. It’s essential. McDonalds has surprisingly “good” coffee in this regard.

A cheap supermarket drip maker? I’ve tasted home drip coffee and tastes pretty close.

Because the writing is sort of on the wall for airbnb's current business model. Local regulations are finally catching up to them, limiting new listings or applying the same taxes and fees applied to regular hotels. And airbnb's a

Lucky you! We produce/consume several files from other teams, and those teams use Python, Java, Go, and C++ internally. I can try to bend those teams to my will by pushing my own custom serialization library (and would that even be a f

Precisely. And if things get a bit more complicated slap a ‘|’ as a separator and you are almost guaranteed to never need to quote anything.

Mostly because dependencies are hard and extra so when you need another team using a different language to also neeeds support the same format. I’d love to pass parquet data around, or SQLite dbs, or something else, but that requires dedica

Not an issue when you control both ends of the pipe. CSV is a great interchange format for tabular data, especially so if it's only/mostly numeric. If you need to pass tabular data from internal service X to internal service Y it&

Unless you were moving a full 18-wheeler worth of stuff you overpaid. For a 240 mile move you can rent the truck and drive it yourself, and pay local movers to pack/unpack at each location.

Corporations can (and should) provide training for tradespeople, but you can't do the same for specialized degrees, like engineering. To train engineers it takes 4-5 years of academic + project work, which is what colleges and universi

Precisely, if the tuition increases had generally gone into improving students lives at least it would serve as a sort of crappy consolation price. But the reality is that a high tide floats all boats, big or small, crappy or great. They ar

Do you have kids? Lots of assumptions from someone who doesn’t seem to be a parent.

Licenses absolutely matter, that’s the whole point of using them! Big corps will absolutely not risk being sued over infringement, it’s not worth it to them. For the litigation cost they’ll throw a couple engineers and redo your project fro

There are screens because their entire social circle has phones, sometimes from an early age. If your kids don’t have them then they are the odd ones out, and excluded socially, which has their own extremely negative consequences.

_This_ is the best pattern for X macros, without any of that noise of undef'ing anything. My approach is to wrap the list elements with two macros: an inner transformation one and an outer delimiter, like so: #define AN_X_LIST(X,

The single best feature (and I would say the _core_ feature separating it from C) that C++ has to offer is RAII and zig does not have that. So I don’t know which good parts of C++ they kept. Zig is more of its own thing, and they take from

He comes across like that because he was. From him you always get these profound wisdoms mixed with denigrating statements, a lot of times about mental capacity. He was an asshole, a brilliant one, but an asshole. I, by the way, don’t celeb

I think that the deterrent is Taiwan destroying all their fabs before the Chinese get to them. This would severely affect the _entire_ world therefore there are strong incentives to keep Taiwan independent.

Watching the Alpha Phoenix video I had a sort of realization that waves (as phenomena in general) are basically nature’s calculator/probes. If nature doesn’t “know” what will happen there’s probably some wave involved to figure it out.
