I think I realized something recently: it is only until you draw something parametrically that you can say you have fully described the object. No, you can’t just scale the text by 1.17 to get it to fit inside the circumference of the coin

An alternative to consider might be to accept a Literal[“fast”, “slow”] or an Enum FAST or SLOW, and then decode that into shipping options inside the shipping code. Only then are you truly putting a solid boundary between your library an

Concorde’s sonic boom was astonishingly loud. The night flights would go supersonic outside the Bristol Channel at around 9pm to 10pm. It was still audible over 60 miles away and sounded like a muffled barn door slamming outside. Far loud

You can’t really tell if you got sick from dirty hands, a week old egg, or the cheeseburger you had for lunch, but if Shake Shack had also just announced they’ve moved over to vibe-cleaning their kitchens then it’s reasonable to only eat at

Even though they fluffed the messaging I think the school was right, in the absence of any actual deepfakes and even after the police department had scraped all the boys phones, to be wary of accusing anyone in particular of doing anything

There’s an alternate view that parents are very much in support of centralized policy. When policy is left up to individual families — little Johnny X has an iPhone but little Timmy Y doesn’t — the creep towards everyone having a phone beg

Certainly a ball peen hammer that could be encouraged to go rusty for scientific purposes. I wonder if it would work well enough striking a sheet of aluminum foil on a hard flat surface?

Seems odd to “throw the items in a bin”. You’d more likely want to know who was given what, put each item in a sealed container, then analyze them later on. Unless you were dumb enough to think it was a bomb.

It’s like if a bandaid fell into the soup pot. You could solve the problem by (A) fishing it out and giving the soup a good boil; or (B) new soup please!

I don’t know about peaches but ‘round my way the cider apple farmers spank the living daylights out of their high density dwarf trees. They get grubbed up and replanted in under a decade. Fruit trees have a naturally short lifetime but me

I’ve heard much about Sierra but haven’t ever tried their product. What do I need to pretend to buy and then complain about to get on a call with their agents?

A more fair assessment would be: company runs a utility => they need to be a regulated utility! The core part of air travel doesn’t really feel any different to a bus or metro or train. Off the tarmac then yes it absolutely feels like a

Presumably this only applies to newcomers? The thrust of their policy is to nurture new contributors. Once one has established oneself as a meaningful contributor — which the Bun team surely must have done by now — then it doesn’t matter

It’s wrong to stop progress. I just want to know what data went into my model and have access to the same data. The same way we have national libraries of books but with the caveat that I don’t really know how one is supposed to browse pe

It’s been decades since I could claim to know anything about this field so I’m probably completely wrong in how I read this, but the idea that one might build a theorem prover (“ML!”) for one’s non-ML programming language and have the prove

Imagine a Vendor API that adds a way to link from the page straight into a device purchase workflow. As a trial of the API in Chrome you can order a new Google Pixel 9b directly from any page with the word Android in it! Or a LocalNet API

It feels very close to “right to repair”. The coffee grinder you bought came as a single package but it has burrs, gears, machine screws, a motor, etc. If one of those components fails, we should be able to replace it ourselves and as suc

I asked ChatGPT to draw the outline of an ellipse using Unicode braille. I asked for 30x8 and it absolutely nailed it. A beautiful piece of ascii (er, Unicode) art. But I wanted to mark the origin! So I asked for a 31x7 ellipse instead.
