Very sad this didn't work out. This story rings of the old saying: no good deed goes unpunished.

I used minikube for a long time, it's pretty good but I found kind to be a lot nicer of an experience and eventually switched. https://kind.sigs.k8s.io/

This is really cool, running ML workloads on top of SQL is a very practical way of doing ML for a lot of businesses. Many companies don't have the fancy ML workloads like you see at OpenAI, they just have a SQL database with some data

Hikaru is an amazing showman, he's gotten a ton of people interested in chess over the last two years. This is my favorite video from his stream in which he premoves an entire game.[0] It's edited, he didn't actually do this

I got into Linux largely because of how cool compiz was. Wobbly windows legit created my entire career.

Just a multiplier... multipliers are a big deal. And of course multiplication is commutative so execution is just a multiplier of ideas. In short they're both crucial, either can bring the total value of a venture to 0 or less.

Facebook: we're moving away from this ethically and morally reprehensible technology under their breath because the IP is better held in a different part of our corporate structure.

Contexts spawn a goroutine to block on the Done channel. You always need to call cancel otherwise you'll leak that goroutine. It's an annoying thing that comes from the fact that contexts are implemented in user space and there&#x

I think no US companies aren't required to be C Corps. That wouldn't make a ton of sense for them if they're planning to operate largely outside of the US.

Interesting choice, gold has lost 5-10% of its value measured in USD over the last 10 years. One of the most inflationary periods ever and it hasn't even kept up with fiat.

This article does a good job of acknowledging global-warming as a cause. Which I do too. I'm agreeing with it that the best way to respond is to do prescribed burns. They ameliorate the short-term and long-term ill effects of the megaf

The frustrating thing about this argument is that you can't even begin to have it because it challenges climate change as the cause of the forest fires. This is completely stupid because climate change just makes it more important that

Making money through insider trading is very maligned with the public good. One it is essentially using the stock market as a mechanism to transfer wealth from unknowing public traders to insider traders, if they're making money they&#

This will only affect the flow of new, mined bitcoins which are a small percentage of the total supply. Bitcoin's protocol also has a difficulty adjustment built into it, so when hashrate goes down mining difficulty goes down to compen

Given the product is mostly for kids who are prone to dropping it I think scratchable plastic is a better idea than breakable glass.

Yup exactly this, such a common headline from modern journalists. "Pressure is building (by us) for thing that society (us) wants to happen."

It kinda does, `git show <commit>` does exactly what one would expect if commits were actually diffs. That is it shows the diff between <commit> and its parent.

by jdoliner 6y ago
It's technically correct. The key thing here is that it's isomorphic. You can either have a system of commits in which diffs are computed between commits or a system of diffs in which commits are computed by applying diffs. The tr

This reads to me like an admission that Substack is succeeding at Medium's original goal much better than Medium ever did and that they need to make changes to try to keep up.

It would be cool if zooming in / out on the T-Rex game caused it to switch your character to larger / smaller dinosaurs.

This is why you shouldn't leave your crypto in Coinbase. If my money is in a bank there's no real way I can transfer all of my money out of it and have it remain usable. I can transfer it to a different bank, or I can get it all i

Paul Graham wrote about what YC looks for in startup founders in 2010 [0]. The first thing he notes is that intelligence wasn't anywhere near as important as they expected it would be. And I think pg had a much better definition of int

I recently tried to buy a System76 laptop and unfortunately had a terrible experience. It was massively delayed and they weren't transparent at all about how long it was going to be delayed. I wound up going with a Juno Computers lapto
