The Canadian federal government owns 18600 acres (9600 of which is currently not being used as a park) of land not too far from Toronto. [0] It was originally expropriated for an airport that will never be built. I’ve always thought it woul

Honestly… I don’t mind discord. I’ve seen their “forums” feature actually work pretty well, and the roles system is just customizable enough to be useful, with about being annoying to configure. Yeah, there’s obvious problems with it being

I’ve been slowly warming up to this idea, and I’m not sure I’m totally convinced, but I think it does make sense to compare the web development industry to the art industry here. Have web builders totally replaced developers? No, not at all

I don't know the specifics, but I can only imagine Google is too big to have a single "thought leader" at this point. The many layers of middle management that are already implemented are probably the source of a lot of this.

2 hex characters represent 1 byte (8bits) so it lines up nicely if you’re looking at where memory gets saved, and will align nicely with big rollovers since it’s a power of 2 radix. FFFFFFFE => FFFFFFFF => 00000000, rather than 429496

Some sort of LLM could work for you! It’s not a half bad idea for a browser extension or something if it doesn’t already exist.

Mug warmer! Yes! Life is too short to deal with silly little annoyances, most of which can be resolved by a low tech solution that you won’t ever have to think about again. Room-temp tea is near the top of the list for me. Also add a notepa

This is a single graphic dressed up like an article. I was actually kind of interested by the title but this isn’t really any content at all. I think you just want to sell your AI prompting course.

I think what the GP comment is conveying is the cultural factor of a PPT. It’s not good for information communication when not paired with a human being giving the presentation that would say those sentences shown in bullet form. If you hav

Wow, that is VERY effective reading those outloud one after the other! I think that is the most effective way of understanding the buffalo phrase “sound” that I’ve seen.

Veggie gardening! Tearing up weeds, pruning, harvesting, potting, etc. Lots of repetitive 45min-1hr tasks you have to do at specific times on specific days during the specific weather patterns you have to be on the look out for, all

I still find the first noun phrase and relative clause (first 5 buffalo words, Buffalonian bison that Buffalonian bison bully ) to be just unparsable. If you switch up the nouns it’s slightly easier to grok: Vancouver birds Toronto bison b

Smart name. I think if this was called “Apple Underrepresented Developer Camp” or something, it would be less effective and possibly seem a bit demeaning IMO. This is not about setting up some easy-track for only certain kinds of people. I

It’s not replacing the text change log. The text change log will appear with the release, which is currently held back due to what sounds like a build issue.

Ruby does have a good reason to be oddball IMO. begin isn't always required. When inside a method, module, class, or do...end block definition (read: most of the time), you're able to use the rescue keyword solo. Anything raising

This is the second time I've heard about specifically a firmware update irreparably bricking an Apple Studio Display. A YouTuber Dankpods [1] had a very similar issue, and ended up getting a full refund from the retailer. (Apple Resell

Ahhhh I understand! Again I'd reiterate, no one successfully plans their career beyond a year or two. If you're seeking a roadmap of technologies to "learn", you will be taken advantage of someone willing to sell you sho

Haha, that's always how it works, it wouldn't be a real launch day with out a little bit of chaos ;) Nice job on the video to you and the team, and congrats on the 1.0 launch!

Just an honest point from a human that's reading what you're saying, mentioning you're using a LLM tool every time you write something is just annoying. I wouldn't fault you for a typo, nor do I fault you for using an LL

Unrelated to the release itself: I like this direct format of video changelog. It's pretty slick, and doesn't spend too much time meandering. Of course text changelogs are always required, and I can only assume they will publish o

Being completely honest, I didn't plan my career, I don't think anyone does successfully. (Success defined as holding true to some career roadmap past a year or two) Try pushing for jobs where you do things you like doing, but don

Something feels so... off about this. It's a closed source product (I think? I see no where to contribute) so I can imagine the need for walling off local dev tools until they're ready for prime time, but it doesn't even seem

I think that would also be something interesting to look into as well! Not only are spoken words borrowed, but so are signs and simple gestures. I guess you'd have to make some delineation about where the line in the sand is, since a s

+1 for messing around with Minecraft! There's SO much tutorial content out there that will teach you how to make your own mods, modify mods, modify things in-game with mods like computercraft (in-game Lua interpreter!), and even just r

I honestly find functional programming paradigms to be simpler; coming from someone without any sort of comp sci background. Data goes in, UI comes out, seems pretty reasonable to me. But I will say, I do get being weirded out by magic. Hoo

Wouldn't energy available to be consumed become a limiting factor in our rate of using that energy?
