HyperCard and SuperPaint were my legos as a kid. My dad is a scientist that needed a Macintosh to run calculations, so I was one of the only kids I knew who's family had a computer at the time. I built so many little contraptions using

From my experience, Github Copilot is useful for its seamless autocompletes. But Github Copilot chat, a new feature, noticeably lags behind GPT-4. I get far better performance copying and pasting code into ChatGPT (GPT-4) than using Githu

Italy strikes the right balance by having car-free zones for pedestrian areas. Other cities could really use this approach. In Times Square in New York, you have a major road running right through the main pedestrian area, leading to a bi
