“If you think the computer is expensive, you’re going to completely lose it when you find out the salary of the boffin who will put it to good use. Or, more mind-numbing yet, the cost of having neither.”

Not just a dream, but a reality: https://www.pfsense.org/ . (pfBlockerNg rather than pi-hole, but I think those are equivalent in functionality; someone correct me if I'm wrong)

The AdAge video is completely infuriating — it has this completely triumphalist tone celebrating the "cleverness" of the marketing campaign. As if it were a "hack" rather than an unethical and distasteful idea unbefittin

Dark mode comment: in the last week of traveling, I have been asked twice by strangers in airports what programming language I am using. In both cases I was writing an email in OS X mail in dark mode.

This is a problem I have seen trying to staff up technical projects on NIH grants -- even barely-competitive compensation for entry-level developers exceeds that of the senior staff evaluating the grants. Makes everyone feel weird.

To clarify, "How to liberate an Intel Chromebook in ten easy steps." Older ARM Chromebooks are doomed to a life of a corporate surveillance endpoint unless you are willing to put in a huge amount of effort.

Of course they have an agenda, but I think it's much less nefarious than some think -- it's that they think housing insecurity is a major problem in the United States with knock-on effects in education, health, and household wellb

I don't see this as a criticism of Rick Steves / traveling — this highlights the need for reforms in the American labor system. People do better work when they vacation, the hard part from an institutional perspective is compensat

Weird fact: For the last ~10 years I have always watched Rick Steves' show while doing laundry (sorting and folding). The two are now inextricably linked in my head (thinking about folding socks makes me think about Barcelona), but I r

Actually he's refreshingly frugal. Public transit + inns + hiking is cheaper per day than a lot of parts of the US, and competition among the low cost carriers means that you can find roundtrip tickets from some American cities for &lt

I inferred it was probably basically fine when my Swiss relatives served a (relatively fancy, celebratory) dinner and provided it in a labeled shaker alongside salt and pepper.

I heard from someone at Whole Foods yesterday that Oregon and Washington are recalling (some) Dungeness crab because of domoic acid levels -- I wonder if that is related.

Looking at you, LAX. Coming from SFO, I've spent more time in traffic getting to where I need to go in LA than the actual flight.

Very interesting! Trying to understand a bit better... does this mean that a human writes some logic, then it gets translated into a formally-verified model? Or these are pieces of verified code with strict combinatorial rules and the human

My parents are conservation biologists who study sea turtles. As sea turtles are relatively charismatic animals that everyone knows, they get a lot of press requests. From as early as I could read the ensuing articles, I could see the diver

I think your latter point is one of the defining sociocultural challenges of our time. We have stressed openness and fairness in public discourse to the point of enabling actors who 1) seek to undermine that public discourse 2) hold positio
