This struck me as well. There seems to be something magical about finding a good aesthetic within the router's constraints (sharp intersections but rounded line endings). It fits with my theory about why APL's glyphs look "be

Have you checked out this demo? https://youtu.be/C8--cXwuuFQ?list=PLUyyOw61zxiJXMihb4PjYbGHE... The 3d pan/tilt/zoom visualizations of the trigraphs are especially nice to look at.

I love these kinds of tools! For part of my PhD research I made a bunch of digraph heatmaps of (differently-obfuscated variations of) stdlib binary files (raw byte sequences and asm mnemonics shown side-by-side): https://alexshro

Imagine being so close to understanding something, but your whole identity requires you to not understand it. Venture capital (VC) is fundamentally at odds with good business. VC demands exponential growth from a finite world; something h

Small objects like powerups appear and disappear as the player moves (even without backtracking), the ammo count is constantly varying, getting shot doesn't deplete health or armor, etc.

You're absolutely right, cash is indeed inconvenient. But all digital payments make you pay a middleman "platform" which tries to extract as much of the transaction as possible while providing the minimum possible value. Oh a

Exactly! Otherwise you're giving control over the money to someone else, who will use that control to further screw over the already marginalized service worker.

Income taxes don't affect every person equally though. Plenty of Very Rich people earn zero income.

If you must tip, only ever use cash. Otherwise you're also subsidizing Square, Toast, Visa, Stripe, etc. Did they give you exceptional service today? Use cash.

Data brokers are a scourge. They should be illegal, or at the very least regulated. For example, here's an idea for one such regulation: If the company purchases aggregated salary data, they must publish their own salaries for at

I basically never rewatch movies, but I've seen Dune (2021) at least 8 times. Will probably do the same when part two comes to streaming services. Something about Villeneuve's version really captures the awe of Herbert's univ

Just add more AI, that'll solve everything. [edit] unfortunately I think I need to point out the above is sarcasm. Because there really are people using AI to review AI-generated code, and they do not see the problem with this approac

Tables can be very nice to work with in a text editor with some convenience features like automatic alignment and tab-to-next-cell. At least that's my experience using tables in emacs with org-mode files. But I imagine there's qui

I wonder about the other direction - how much can you remove from Markdown until it's no longer useful enough for wide adoption? How about: one heading level only no nesting (of lists or styles) tables can only contain pl

Within city limits, certain types of large vehicles should always be allowed, like public transit, emergency response, and commercial delivery trucks. Those drivers already get special training and/or special licensing. Otherwise there

This happened during my morning commute today : Another cyclist and I stop at a stop sign, him waiting to turn left, I waiting to turn right, onto a main road (which notably does not have a stop sign). A car traveling straight on the main

I'm just not convinced that swapping out "<ol></ol>" for "[]" actually addresses any of the problems.

"No metal in the microwave" is good general-purpose advice but a reasonable person might notice that the microwave interior is basically all metal so there must be more to that advice than meets the eye.[0] [0] Microwaves also con

I always thought the information density advantage of ternary disappeared once you put it in the real world: - harder to discriminate values as you pack more in the same dynamic range - more susceptible to noise - requires lower clock rates

Just want to say this is the most ergonomic take on value semantics I've seen. The "~" is cleaner than Swift or Hylo's "inout" keyword.

I've had the exact same feeling. I think this is some latent cultural zeitgeist that more people are starting to notice. My thought was to start a "philosopher's club", for Platonic friendships. Right now it's just
