It seems odd to complain about one old upright piano being crushed for the video when thousands upon thousands of them are out on the streets, living under bridges, because no one wants to move the piano anymore, or wanted the convenience o

I can understand the reflex. To me she was "that actress from that show Felicity that I never watched". The Diplomat turned me around real quick.

Newer libraries tend to be written to use Swift value types rather than classes, avoiding the bridging penalties you mentioned.

That song is the first thing that went through my mind, too. It's an interesting re-framing of the song, even if there's nothing to it. There's nothing in the Wikipedia entry that contradicts the possibility, though. Both cou

There is a single thread executor crate you can use for that case if it’s what you desire, FWIW.

As I read this, I kept thinking to myself “I sure hope the author is right.” I have grown weary of the way JavaScript infects and sucks the joy out of everything it touches.

I had an Eagle, too, along with models from other shows like Star Trek, Star Wars, etc. As I grew older, I realized how unrealistic they all are, as spaceships go. The Eagle still feels like it could be real, though. (Yeah, I know a mode

I think it’s been on the back burner since he got his new hobby of complaining about generative AI being too woke.

“My trumpets and saxophones will only play the correct tones if I work with it to do so.” I have no opinion either way, but this conflates mathematical with automated, doesn’t it?

The NewScientist headline is terrible. I'm not even sure where in the paper they pulled that from. Maybe it was written by an LLM.

I can imagine it being received differently today, but I read it twice in the 80s. It blew my mind. Now you can’t swing a stick without hitting some referent or concept in its pages, but that’s the internet age, efficiently routing the arca

This is an overestimation of how much effort it takes to learn another language and stack, especially in a world with Google, Stack Overflow, and LLMs.

I don’t know anything about combinatory logic, but your question sounds similar to “why study push-down automata if we already know that turning machines are Turning complete?” Maybe I’m way off base in drawing that parallel, and if I am I’

Quasicrystals is an excellent example. Penrose tiles were invented in 1974, but quasicrystals were discovered in 1982.

The texture differential at the T-intersections was a deliberate choice for the mouth feel component and is one that I appreciate. It gives an inner region of tooth resistance. The frills stay on if you time it right. If I want to cook it i

The series of podcast episodes is worth a listen. The task is not just imagining an ideal shape balancing the 3 constraints, but to do one that will actually come out a pasta extruder die. Getting the trough inside the curl might not work w
