There's nothing in-depth here, just a bunch of titles and a brief description.

Languages evolve, they're living things. Isolation creates new languages, that why Europe has a gazillion of them, people of different valleys developed different languages, on the other hand communication mixes them and blends them, f

Stopping it's not a hopeless gesture, it's dangerous as fuck. If you stop research but all your adversaries don't, you're left behind. Let's assume that all western societies stop, but let's say, China doesn&#x

Stopping now would be extremely dangerous and borderline stupid. If you stop now, you're just left behind, because there's no way everyone will stop. At this point the only logical course of action in an adversarial situation is t

Well you could be efficient with your code so it doesn't waste CPU cycles, since CPU cycles == Energy, and if your algorithms use less energy, in all likelihood you'll emit less CO2. Specially if they're widely deployed.

If you care, just don't waste CPU cycles if possible. Efficient code is green code in the sense that it's more likely not to waste energy. Things like bitcoin with their proof of work algorithms, are borderline immoral. Just burni

Compilers are like puzzles to be solved. They are so deeply coupled internally and so grounded in pure logic that in many cases, features of the languages implement themselves as the logical consequence of the way the compiler it's con

I hate the 2FA story, they shouldn't let you enable it unless you enroll at least two different factors. One primary and one for recovery. The only case where it should be fine to have a single second factor is with your employer, wher

Breakfast is the only meal that's unavoidable... since it's the one that breaks fast. Call it dinner, or lunch or whatever, but if it's the first one, it's breakfast.

Why the need to bring it under control? Control from what? It's not the AI that's the issue, it's the use of it that's the problem. The law shouldn't focus on the AI, for example: >The regulation, proposed by the

The problem is that those are f**king difficult problems to solve. Regardless of how you approach them. No tool or paradigm will make them easy, it may make a part of them easier (at some other cost somewhere else), but by no means will mak

That's a type of risk too. I couldn't go over all the weird ways it can go wrong in a comment (probably not even in a book), so I used "risk" as the catch-all umbrella, but yes, architectural bugs are a lot harder to fix

The article does the setup but fails to deliver. Tech debt, if properly managed, may be strategically advantageous. For example, in an early startup, you make a decision that will be somewhat expensive to pay for later, but now, doing it &q

In Argentina parking spots tend to be small (average car sizes are also smaller), so we usually park reverse first, otherwise is close to impossible to fit the car in the spot with any amount of fine control. Most parking lots make it manda

Family sharing would help a lot with AirTags, sadly they don't support it. I have one on my dog, and warns my wife each time they go for a walk, since it's paired with my iCloud account. It looks like it should be a relatively sim

One part is compliance, it leaves a paper trail, if you're a really high performer you could pretty much ignore them. They're not going to fire you if the form is not filled, but if you're not, they become justification for t

First couple of months your job is making sure the mom doesn't crash and burn under the stress of a newborn. Breastfeeding is exhausting and the emotional load of the newborn plus the massive hormone shifts is no walk in the park.

The amount of octal numbers in the source code makes my brain itch. It emulates PDP's floating point support with 36 bit words.

That's faulty reasoning, why learn something since it can be looked up? Because understanding and looking it up are not the same. We've been able to look up things since we've had libraries and experts. One one hand, you may

If you ever cooked both on gas an electric, electric is workable, but gas is much more controllable in terms of temperature transfer. Specially when there's no direct contact between the pan and stove. It also produces way more heat fa

Many flourishes detract from usability (not all of them though). They're basically useless fluff. They don't help at all to get shit done which is what we want to do. Interfaces should be simple and utilitarian, predictable, chang

I assume this to be true already, so I assume all my posts are public and will be seen by coworkers and family, so I'm very careful on what I post online.

The lack of physical buttons for common operation of the car is unnerving. It makes operation unnecessarily difficult. Everything commonly done in the car should have a physical control associated with it that can be operated by touch alone

Somebody implements that infra, and in many cases you need to use them to build it, and it's important to understand them. I'm not asking you implement one from memory, but at least have some knowledge of its properties and the re

I loved this book. I think I read it two or three times. The comments in the margins are magnificent. Maybe it's time for another pass.
