As a dyed-in-the-wool Clojurist, I appreciate leveraging the functional aspects as much as immutable by default data structures. It takes a while to stand back and realize, but once you have a large program that is mostly all passing immuta

The funny thing is Atom was the origin story of Zed, written in some C++ and a lot of Coffeescript exactly so it could be very programmable. Also, Spacemacs? It's technically a terminal but definitely has a lot of UI features. Very pro

Does this actually work? I thought most TOTP codes were single use. Have you actually tried re-using them?

I feel like developers who don't write tests while writing their production code aren't doing a real job in 2024. Sure you might have a QA team or something, but that should be a vast minority of the tests being written. Test driv

I love physical algorithms and data structures in every day life. My little computer science brain is simple but if I can remember small tricks, particularly with the arrangement of everyday things, I find joy somehow. A couple of my favori

That's interesting but my sniff test isn't passing. "Reckless driving" doesn't require me to know it's a bad idea to do 100 miles per hour in a 25, it is reckless whether I realize it or not right? IANAL but th

If my company causes billions in damages and endangers human lives, I can't imagine why my company isn't bankrupted and dissolved.

The Lpad fiasco was pretty bad, being able to delete libraries used by so many people. Hard to forget that.

I can't find it again in this doc but pretty sure it supports MKL which at least is Intel's faster math library. Better than a stick in the eye. Also certainly faster than plain CPUs but almost certainly way slower than something

This looks awesome, the instructions are basically a one-liner to get a Python program to start up a chat program, and it's optimized for a lot of hardware you can run locally like if you have an Nvidia GPU or Apple M processor. Super

As a counter point, you can buy a Apple TV and mine lasted maybe a decade. The cheapest one I see is $130ish. Why don't we try and keep electronic waste to a minimum by buying long lasting stuff. I know not everyone can afford a device

I see they use they use the actual lambda character "λ" to create functions which is both cool and also probably makes grepping for functions a PITA. It does look pretty but I would have to search the web or write down the random

I'm not sure I'm making any better argument, but technically it's 2nd party. If I turned on a Google feature, that's between us. And honestly that's kind of the point I'm trying to make. Enabling a feature does

How is turning on a feature the same thing as handing data it collects to Google etc? I turned on computer backups, does that mean the feds can read all of that?

To be accurate, Uber didn't abide by laws in most countries it went up against. It was a little slimy but also the taxi systems of most places were very entrenched. I remember never enjoying riding taxis in San Francisco for years, the

You are definitely right but I still feel like this is Stockholm syndrome, if they keep dark-patterning people more and more into logging in, it doesn't really make this a substantial improvement, they'll update they're way i

Out of curiosity, why did that game require BigDecimals?

Kinda makes me think that implementation is probably not very performant or optimized for the obvious case. A big pet peeve of mine is when languages do weird and very unintuitive things with equality. Like in Javascript and PHP you end up

I would be extremely weirded out if I took a really angry tone with someone and they completely ignored it. It would probably be infuriating to some too if they continued sounding really chipper and positive and the customer is really upset

Interestingly this happens every 11 years and also their is a longer cycle called the Hale cycle which is double the length at 22 years. It flips from a mostly dipole where the poles match the orientation of earth to a reverse and much more

In general I loathe them. I feel like they are so distracting. And then people get all spammy in groups intended to be planning groups and you have to scroll back a year to find which hotel room to book or whatever. I have Messenger notific

And yet TSLA is up ~10% right now, obviously some of that is probably due to the Feds announcement today but that is a pretty strong movement despite this glut of additional inventory.

I would hardly say the platform is dead. Apple just launched the Vision Pro. That's not a silver bullet but I'm sure they are looking for more apps and games. I hardly think VR is going away.

An extra twist in the US is elementary school tends to end at 6th grade and middle school is 7th and 8th or sometimes elementary ends a year early at 5th and middle school absorbs 6th grade to be 3 years long.

This is the number one thing that annoys me about so many apps, especially apps with clear use-cases for offline use like listening to music, reading, and learning apps. I don't understand how so many app writers have never gone for a

How did Apple fall behind exactly? This article is very negative and yet very sparse on details particularly given Apple hasn't even had the event in only a few days. Seems like you would reserve judgement. If you look at Google Home a

All I'm saying is the word "unnecessary" in that question clearly is a "weasel word" because, just like you're saying, it's subjective and also greatly weakens the statement. Usually unnecessary things wit

I kind of agree. I feel like the word "unnecessary" in that sentence guts it. Of course we should ban unnecessary and wasteful things. If the question was "should we ban plastic bags completely in favor of re-usable ones&quot
