Excellent interview with Bob on this book that's worth a listen: https://corecursive.com/032-bob-nystrom-on-building-an-inter...

I genuinely can't tell if you are being serious or not. Are you not familiar with Britain's and Ireland's "relationship"?

From a comment by the author: > Also, I can't justify why, but my gut feeling is that the database should be an order of magnitude faster than Python, provided the implementation were to be improved. Would be curious how that could

I'm super excited for this, but also scared. These little puzzles are such a dopamine hit that I can't really be productive until I have that day solved. As the month progresses and the problems get harder, more and more of my tim

Reminds me of Cory Doctorow's last story in Radicalized: "Masque of the Red Death". summary from Wikipedia: A wealthy financier builds and manages a doomsday vault, designed to withstand societal collapse. Interesting story,

Everything Linus produces just blows me a way. Especially loved his C64 organ [0] and also maybe the only "cool" NFT I've ever seen [1] (basically the source code for the demo is encoded in the token so it's on the block

Even if this does work, I'd imagine there is a pretty high selection bias. Therapy is work. Journalling is work. Changing is work and really takes commitment. Taking a pill isn't so much work. The article cites 800k patients in En

Unauthorized cheese, anyone?

I mean isn't C ubiquitous enough that it is essentially language agnostic? Or is your suggestion that is should be purely pseudocode?

For myself, the one positive outcome has been more empathy for others. I do count that as a super power (that comes at a crippling cost)

Oh you didn't read the article?

Doing it only in Chrome? Having easy buttons for certain snippets? The author didn't make this to be a vim replacement. I don't think this would be a daily or main editor, but seems easy to use in a pinch

Nothing really. He addresses this in his post. But also the purpose isn't to sell the song (it's already creative commons). Purely just a commemorative token (and the only one he plans to make. It's not about ownership of the

Linus Akesson (big in the C64 demoscene) created the only good example of an NFT I've come across [1]. In the token he puts the source code to his "A Mind Is Born Demo" which compiles to the very demo you watch when you vie

Yeah I mean I unironically like doing this at times. Texture contrast is great!

Right, it's not something unique to corporations. It's a consequence of concentrated power

Not a shocker that corruption ruins things. I guess then the question is how you can design a broadly distributed system that removes the incentives for corruption and minimizes its impact. My guess is that such a system won't be found

Really cool idea. Saved it to my home screen. Only thing is that is that the questions feel like roadblocks. For instance, last night I got 6 hours of sleep and it says I should come back after I nap. But I can't nap right now. I gue

Actually nice to have in the background. Reminds me of a (sometimes poorly) translated book of Russian fairy tales my dad gave to me as a kid

> Oh, the temptation to swan into the office wearing sweatpants and slippers. Don’t do it! The costumes of the corporate world – the heels, the pressed trousers – may seem antiquated and absurd. They all feel so 2020. But why? The author

Yes! Well not the book, but the 1995 made-for-TV animated movie. Every so often it pops up in my memory. I remember feeling distressed at Mr. Toad but could never explain it.

Absolutely love TIC-80. Definitely worth paying for the pro version even though you could just compile it from source if you want.

Not related to dementia, but "Poverty and Witch Killing" [0] does a great job of using extreme weather (rainfall or drought) to estimate the effect of income shocks on violence in Tanzania. Roughly: negative income shocks translat

I don't think the author was implying active hostility on the part of the EE programmers. > It's the banality of bigotry which gets to me. Usual. Normal. Standard. They’re just dull ways for dull people with limited imagination
