I already enjoyed a terpene flavored IPA craft beer this year. It was pretty great.

Direct mind-to-mind communication, as hard as that is, will not be the primary challenge. Safety and defensive mechanisms will be far more challenging. We already have invasive techniques that use nothing more than images, sound, text. Dire

Oh my god, right. Having someone recognize you for your work is such an incredible feeling.

Unleashing my imagination is a terrifying idea. I have multiple safeguards in place to keep even the relatively harmless bad and dangerous ideas that live in my imagination from being able to escape.

I don't understand you could get a job at a boutique app developer without a portfolio of work to show off.

This is the principle of just about every commercially successful "casual" game. The difference is that most games don't teach you anything useful outside of the context of the game.

One of the few times in my life when I felt the most relaxed was when I fronted a local noise core band. The crowd thought I was demented based on my act, but really, the screaming and acting out felt like a release valve for all of the ang

Q3 is intentionally stripped down. Primarily due to Carmack's direction. Iirc from his old plan files.

And to be fair, I am likely going to be working on some new software projects that I wouldn't work on in the office, where I will be interrupted constantly when I'm not in meetings.

I enjoyed reading this. It felt like a single perspective in a pulp security thriller. It would be interesting for someone to write fiction from the perspective of a potential attacker.

Sadly, though, a lot of our waste material won't degrade for thousands of years or more, unlike the natural materials our forebears used. Regardless of how boring we might be, our artifacts will survive longer.

Since I'm working from home this week, perhaps I, too, will make some significant technological advances!

It is because they have different capabilities that I don't respect the standard put forth by the school system.

I don't have much respect for the school system's standards for what age is appropriate to start teaching different subjects. Children in my family start reading around 3. I consider reading a power tool that bootstraps further le

Actually, it would be more like all of that stuff already existed, but it was a woeful and Byzantine process to get all of it lined up for your particular lightbulb.

More like how turning on lights is easy for billions of people because someone else did the hard work of the power lines, generators, switches, light bulbs, etc.

I find a lot of new bands and albums through Spotify and YouTube (and last.fm before that), and I listen to them repeatedly just like the old mix tapes from friends that I started out with back in the day. I think this kind of deep inspect

Yes, and if you are just starting out, half squats with no weight are a perfectly valid exercise.

Wow, maybe don't put an open tankard of beer right next to an open tankard of lice poison. Next to your bed. In the dark.

I assume that it has less to do with upsetting the social hierarchy than it does with the possibility that my wealth might be redistributed to someone else.

I work out with a serious body builder and a serious power lifter. Both of them are engaged in minimizing the amount of exercise they do to get the greatest benefit.

It is always worthwhile to introduce the techniques from one field of study into another.

The best example I can think of is a set of instructions on a medium. You've got jumps as a normal part of programming at this level. If the address of the jump is corrupted by an environmental factor (e.g. Hard radiation), then the ju

Sadly, it was realizing the relative intelligence of people higher in the food chain that convinced me I am not the dumbest man alive.

I thought it was self-explanatory, but let me provide a little context: a NOP-sled can be used to increase reliability in software (especially for ROMs exposed to hard radiation). It can also be used in various attacks. The letter describes
