The video is to display what an expert can do with it, if I understand correctly. In undergrad, I worked nights in a warehouse where most things were managed by a very complicated TUI program. The learning curve was quite steep. What someon

A sudden rush of so many similarly situated workers is going to be a very difficult situation. The robots may be good but the cost of the social upheaval should be factored in to the cost of their operation. Otherwise the rest of us are pay

This is very cool and fun! For Day 10, I don't see a snowman. I think you lose the background somewhere so it's white on white, I'm on my phone though so I can't dig in too far.

We need to value and develop arts pedagogy as well. I was lucky enough to have art classes growing up but they were entirely wasted on me because there was almost no explicit/ systematic instruction. Asking me to look out the window an

I completely disagree. A lot of people out there are doing things that they know are wrong but think that because they have a boss they no longer own the responsibility of behaving ethically. Check out all the testimony in the FTX trial for

The key to scaling Rails applications is effective use of caching (at multiple levels). For an online store (compared to, say, a live action game) so much of the content that you serve will be cached that regardless of your apps runtime a l

But what about navigating on the other end? It would make a terrible first impression if our probe smashed into their version of Voyager. Hopefully we come up with a good way to test the brakes.

The point of the rule is to be extremely limiting. There are billions and billions of stars, and it's becoming clear that a lot of them are orbited by planets. Given that there aren't obvious alien visitors or even communications

It's simple because we tolerate certain limitations in the web platform. If you had a hard requirement that a page load could never take more than 100ms, regardless of network conditions, you'd have quite a challenge on your hands
