That was a fascinating read, but without links to the original I have to remain a little bit skeptical. I tried to access the documents in your second link hoping I could search for myself, but it looks like I'm locked out.

What a great read. This resonates with me. At one point in my life I was desperately close to homelessness. At the time I was lucky to still be enrolled at a university and could therefore easily take out as many loans as I needed. It was a

Aesthetic? That feeling that we're in the future and this isn't grandpa's laptop? Some other intangible quality from which I derive subjective satisfaction? That you can fit your laptop into a bag doesn't seem to me to b

Things no one cares about: . thin I won't try to speak for everyone like that, but I for one love having a thin laptop.

Ok, well let me add that I do find it good. I never seem to have the problems people complain about. I don't know why, so I'm always baffled by all the complaints.

Comments like these always make me wonder if I'm the only person in the world still delighted by Apple products. I mean I alone can not be responsible for their sales volume. And then I start to wonder if I should be more critical of A

Making playing cards, IIRC. Was that considered tech back then?

In which case it should be easy for you to explain, yes?

I'm curious what you think is which? For me, "live like you'll never die" is more motivating than "live each day like it's your last".

I'm surprised House of Leaves isn't mentioned, a terrific book about a house bigger on the inside full of labyrinths.

Can you give an example outside the M1 Macbooks?
103.
by jakeva 6y ago
I wouldn't be, the M1 isn't available in that form factor yet and even if it was it would be first gen, and in the meantime you still have a really great computer.

Another typo, I think "Apples, Bananas, or Pairs" is probably meant to be "Apples, Bananas, or Pears"

> git complains that somewhere around commit 4 there's a conflict. That sounds like a rebase merge, which might be the setting in the repo. A normal merge wouldn't attempt commit by commit.

I've done the same thing. Idiocracy be damned, it seems like we're already pretty close to there. At least I will be able to enjoy my life knowing I'm not going to have to be responsible for a life or lives in an increasingly

We use mocks a lot on my team, and I don't think we've ever seen what you describe. Maybe you're using mocks incorrectly?

My girlfriend is Chinese and she's the best cook I've ever met, so there's one opinionated bit of anecdata for you.

What is it with people registering domains and building websites around single concepts? I don't get it.

I'm confused, would you be making a pretty good salary or would you be making more money flipping burgers?

Only 65. I grew up listening to Van Halen and spent a crazy amount of time trying to play guitar like Eddie. I think their first album was released when he was only 22. What a legend. What a life. Taken too soon. :(

I have always found bash syntax super confusing. I always enjoy Julia's take on different topics, but I have to confess I was hoping for a little more here than "[[ is bash syntax. it’s more powerful than ["

I use both kubernetes and OTP supervisors and don't find it misleading, rather I quite agree but maybe I'm missing something. I'm curious what you mean by that?

by jakeva 6y ago
Any justification for forcing a hardware maker to allow arbitrary apps on their hardware, aside from your personal experience with being rejected?

That may be true, and maybe the professor was right to discourage that track. A key difference I'd point out, however, is that one is more universally accepted among researchers as pseudoscience than the other. For instance, the first

".. is known to be pseudoscience" could be correct, until it is not. Dismissing someone's research interests is not just rude but also the attitude that led to this individual dropping out of academia altogether. This is the
