I won't call it a social networking site. I'd call it a business-card-exchange site, plus a corporate-flyers-handout site, and of course a self-promotion site. Selling emails is of course bad, but expecting your email that you giv

The difference is that it's not a toy. I'd rather compare it to the early days of offshore development, when remote teams were sooo attractive because they cost 20% of an onshore team for a comparable declared capability, but the

A LinkedIn account's sole purpose is publishing, dissemination, and advertising information about you and your company. Anything that you badly want to keep private certainly does not belong there, much like it does not belong to a lar

If the endowment is invested so that it brings very conservative 3% a year, it means that it brings $4.32M a year. By doubling that, rather many grant writers could be hired.

Waking up tired and with the brain full of fog is nearly as fun as not sleeping and ending up tired, with the brain full of fog. Truth be told, most cases of "poor sleep quality" are not as brutal though.

Agents run tools, too. You can make an LLM count by the means of language processing, but it's much more efficient to let it run a Python script. By the same token , it's more efficient to let an LLM operate all these tools (and

At a different angle: can there be a "watch face" that shows a bit of map, and directions, while the proper navigation app is running on the phone?

An "unindexed array" is basically `char *` in C; the use cases are the same, I suppose.

/* Looked at the product for which Electrobun was built, co(lab). «Focus on building instead of managing tools. Keep your code, browser, terminal, notes, and git workflow in one unified interface.» Well, a great idea! This is what Emac

Capitalism works due to the "free market" which maps a large number of producers to a large number of consumers in an efficient way. When the market ceases to be sufficiently free, capitalism starts to falter. It may be regulation

I personally am thankful to Gibson, and some other cyberpunk authors, for the ample warning they gave; many things ended up prescient. (Not that I heeded that warning enough, alas.)

The amount of inference required for semantic grouping is small enough to run locally. It can even be zero if semantic tagging is done manually by authors, reviewers, and just readers.

Yes, the diagram just shows the ASCII table for the old teletype 6-bit code (and 5-bit code before), with the two most significant bits spread over 4 columns to show the extension that happened while going 5→6→7 bits. It makes obvious what

"No signaling" would be: "I dress like I always do since forever." Any reference to opinions of others would mean that the person cares for them, even in the form of "I don't care", and thus the dress is a

I'd say, not "people in general" but people form other socioeconomic strata. This guy is not talking like us, suspicious. He talks in an elaborate and thought-through manner, not simply, so, he's not candid, double suspi

"Miura" is the name of the astrophysicist. "Ori" (折り) just means "fold", as in "origami" = "fold+paper".

Imho, there is an easy way to turn this around. Ask: "What is your range for the role?" Then it becomes easy to say: "Fine, I'm comfortable with this range", or maybe "Oh, I'm afraid I can't afford th

This is not very different from collecting visual cues. You can notice a delivery van arriving. You can see the driver's face, same with passers-by. The biggest difference is that a camera needs to be more conspicuous, while a BT recei

It very possible to make lightning-fast React web UIs. DOM sucks, but modern computers are insanely fast, and browsers, insanely optimized. It is also very possible to make sluggish-feeling Qt or Swing applications; I've seen a number.

For me that would be the worst kind of distraction: always triggered by sounds of communication, never able to recognize what is said. I suspect not all such statistical results apply uniformly to all people.

Variables are hugely helpful, I agreee. IDK about bikeshedding. I'm very used to writing React code that normally declares no styles for components at all, and having CSS that style components using 1-2 classes, specific to these compo

No, it says: "Limited availability". These green percentage points at the bottom left show how many of the Web audience (IDK by what measurements) runs a browser supporting this feature. A ton of them are even below 50%. So I supp

When I write CSS, I most often do not want the locality of behavior. I instead want uniformity of behavior, hence "semantic" styles. Even the trivial light / dark mode switching is pain with Tailwind, when classes like "
