This literally is fast enough to really whip the llamas.. well, you know. And for the younger folk, this mp3 player was the precursor to Spotify: https://youtu.be/HaF-nRS_CWM?si=d7WHzkV7CFHJ2hGg

Just to add to this. It’s important to monitor group chats a well as avoiding social media. Close friends 1 on 1 are usually somewhat ok, but the bigger groups / discords that happen quickly in middle school have more issues.

I think the main takeaway of this shouldn’t be that all kids will be able to read, but more that parents should not be afraid to try to teach letter sounds/blending/simple reading before kindergarten. So many parents I’ve met feel

Just curious, how do people feel about this general style of soft deletes currently? Do people still use these in production or prefer to just delete fully or alternatively move deleted rows to a separate tables / schema? I find the co

I recently took my son on a "GameStop run" to sell our super old PS4. He's 7 and never been to a store with video games before. So we jumped in the car and arrived at the store about 30 min north of Seattle just as the sun wa

I’m surprised they didn’t just price it as $200/month but include high daily use of Claude Code. That tech is very cool and some sort of upper limit / bulk discount on costs would be quite compelling.

I’ve seen this often. My son is 3 and often tells us his reasoning: “we need to run for the bus because it doesn’t wait for us!” He always says it like he isn't sure we know about buses yet making me think it’s hard to model others as

This is always how it works. Large fan bases are filled with extremely capable people with vastly different specialties so I have no doubt this 4chan user had a very strong math background and just couldn't resist solving it for real.

Since Go added slog many of these have been removed in favor of that. Obviously not universal, but compared to npm there really are massive numbers of devs just using the standard library.

When Dreamweaver integrates GPT4o it will finally reach mainstream. I can imagine the podcast ad-spots already. Watch out SquareSpace. Disruption comes for us all. (P.S: I did use Dreamweaver in the early 2000s. It was great. I’m surprised

The amazing part is AI telling you things look like spam/phishing would probably work quite well and be a great feature.

If I may make a suggestion to @ianlancetaylor, I think using the ? for error checking is a fantastic idea, but I think a couple small changes would make this absolutely a game changer and even more Go-like: To demonstrate my tweak to your i

Thank you for writing this all up. Just curious if you ever considered switching away from Ruby? I think many people are living in parallel stacks (TS, Go, Python, Rust) and it would be interesting to hear how it’s been going more recently

The best approach I’ve seen in literate programming is when the comments become a webpage of documentation automatically from the source. This can be “// comments” or more like markdown indention, but I think the magic comes from

Not quite as much of a coincidence as you might think. Many of these algorithms come from graphics researchers presenting at SIGGRAPH ( https://www.siggraph.org , the leading conference). So if so if Jet Set Radio was released Jun

The bug is super fun, but I also find the Intel response to be fascinating on its own. They apparently didn’t replace everyone’s processor with a non faulty version who wanted it, resulting in a ton of bad press. To contrast, I’ve been thin

I’m in Seattle and I wait at a bus stop every morning at 7:25am so I’m deeply aware of how it feels to go to school in the dark vs sunrise vs light (currently it is full dark, even with the shift). Honestly, I think now it’s just better to

Myst is a very old game where you walk by tapping a series of pre-rendered 3d images. This is back when each image would take minutes to hours to render (like Pixar did with Toy Story 1), so graphically it looks amazing for its time, but it

I believe you meant `strings.Split(s1, s2)`, but I would have also accepted `s1.split(s2).collect::<Vec<&str>>();` Kidding aside, I agree completely that syntax isn't the important part. For interviews I think of it mor

I was a math major before switching to cs. I’d say algebra/algebra 2/trig are the ones you need to be most skilled at the start. Linear Algebra was quite possible to learn while in college as it wasn’t needed in the first few cs c

I find it funny to think that SnapChat did the opposite and removed Chat to become Snap. Either way it’s a bold move. It’s clearly easier to type and say. I wonder if they found GPT is just too unpleasant to say so trying to switch the bran

To add to this, when I think of ordering I’m reminded of the NP complete traveling salesman problem. It’s easy to make a program to visit all locations, but optimal order is so much harder. I suspect thinking is similar, which brings up que

This amazes me since I switched to go because its builds are so insanely fast and the module system is quite clean. Out of all the languages, go probably needs it the least! I did use bazel long ago for c++ and it was quite good at it, but

Gathering all that together sounds worthwhile, but let me encourage you to share more of yourself in small parts as well. It takes practice to find the right amount to share (it’s a balance and depends on you and them), but taking an extra
