Our two projects actually look like they have very different goals and approaches: I’m aiming for a rigorous solution for small design problems, like needing to add an index to a datastructure that wasn’t designed for one— nothing really to

I’m trying to map relational algebra onto Rust’s type system. If I’m successful, I’ll have a bunch of collection types with different performance characteristics that are all drop-in replacements for each other.

I have a suspicion that fast data entry and automated search might be a red herring for this sort of tool. I believe that the real utility of my notes comes from actively engaging with them, and automation runs the risk of damaging that. M

The ostensible purpose of a “Like” button is to allow site visitors to more easily like the publisher’s content on Facebook. Aside from loading the static assets from their servers, there’s no reason for this to involve Facebook until some

That’d be a form of equivocation: the accuser is using an incorrect definition of the fallacy, instead of the true one.

It’s possible (but laborious) to use a bicycle pump to fill a car tire: they use the same kind of valve and bicycles use a higher pressure than cars do, there’s just a lot more air to move.

There have been persistent claims that cool color-temperature (bluish) light in the evenings disrupts sleep quality. I unfortunately can’t remember if that comes from rigorous studies or pop psychology.

The static linking section here feels a bit weak to me: if a Rust compilation fails, it usually happens before linking starts. On the other hand, if your program successfully compiles, do you really care whether the link time happens at th

In terms of polygonal 3D games, the earliest example I know of is Battlezone, from 1980. It’s definitely a first-person shooter and not a platformer, though. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battlezone_(1980_video_game)

The hoverboards don’t use the same technology, which is what allows them to be so cheap. My understanding is that they effectively replace the electronic feedback control system of the segway with the user’s biological one.

For myself, a quick debriefing after something doesn’t turn out the way I’d liked seems to speed the process of learning from experience. It’s basically just taking a moment to answer a few questions: - What did you set out to do? - What a

Adages aren’t really meant to be informational; they’re memory triggers. The phrase “If at first you don’t succeed, try try again” invites comparison between your present situation and prior experiences when you struggled to learn a skill.

The primary change of thinking that a Zettelkasten system requires is giving up the idea of keeping notes about a book or meeting. Instead, keep notes about topics you care about, using the book or meeting as a source.
