I can’t wait to read the tell all book about Bluesky during this three day period when Threads hits a hundred million users and Bluesky makes the most important strategic decision of its existence.

Some of us Americans know our elevator numbers are wrong — zero / nilth is the correct ground floor by far! — but that doesn’t mean when you pick up the first apple in a bowl of apples you should rename it to nilth. Counting order is d

As a CS major who went to CMU years ago, my favorite book from all of my professors was for my 15-213 class called Computer Systems: A Programmers Perspective I remember at the time the book was in loose leaf paper so it warms my heart to s

It's not so much against lisp as double curly is a classic string templating style that is common in web programming. I saw it first with `mustache.js` (first release around 2009), but it's probably been used even before that. ht

Curious for fellow founders with the .com, how many of you defensively buy the .net, .org names as well? I find it hard to resist getting at least those three if I'm settled on a name/brand.

Another issue with Discord naming is I picked my name for gaming voice chat many years ago and now it doesn’t make any sense for people at work or in developer groups. They clearly copied BattleNet at the time, and it was cool to be known b

I myself got into game programming by moding Quake and StarCraft. I’d guess a ton of people who ended up as programmers did this. So I think you’re right almost no students did anything with computers, but I’d say easily 50% of people who c

As a father of a five year old, let me send some advice back in time to a dad with a zero year old! I know this isn’t exactly what you were asking for — apologies please let me suggest changing your goal slightly to try and give your kid a

Looks great. Congrats! I’m curious, what is your tech stack for implementing audio and video chat?

Console makers usually make peripherals only work for that single console. The reasoning is that the games are only tested with those specific devices so it's hard for them to know if new games will run on old hardware or not. This tot

I assumed it was to help get extremely low cost Azure compute and to grow faster now that Microsoft was going all in on GPT4 with Bing & Office.

Yes, they have the same cores but the memory bandwidth is double the speed: “M2 Pro’s memory maxes out at 32GB, but the M2 Max can handle as much as 96GB. And memory bandwidth on the M2 Max is double that on the M2 Pro”. You can see here th

I know others would do it differently, but for me compiling speed was more important than low price or expandability so my choice was between M2 Max on a MacBook Pro and a M1 Ultra on a Mac Studio. The profiling indicated those quite were c

I think it is meant to be true and also funny. First, you can start by agreeing with the advice, imagining how listening to other’s advice can be overrated. Then you realize that by listening to Andre you are actually breaking Andre’s advic

I'll give it go – Essentially the quality of the average website is declining due to poor incentives such as SEO optimization and content creation farms. Meanwhile, language models like ChatGPT are becoming more advanced. This presents

Radians are just half-turns, so we use turns either way. Some equations look better in turns and some in half-turns, but the math works fine either way. Instead to decide which is better think of how a new student might learn this intuitive

This is 100% right. Fireworks was Sketch with better bitmap/filter/styling support. Removing it was a cost saving move right as Sketch/Figma were coming to own UI design.

What I’d recommend isn’t to be perfect, but to put a piece of it in useful places with automatic payments. This way the system is easy to setup once and will be pretty good over a long term. So if you’re in the US pay off all cc debt and th

At first I assumed Apple wouldn’t make sense here (they aren’t super adept in gaming) but getting The Sims, Plants vs Zombies, FIFA and Madden is a pretty solid, broadly appealing list. Then pairing it with Mass Effect, Battlefield, Apex Le
