The most recent blog post they have up is titled "The Mondragon of Music" which, frankly, is all I needed to see. https://subvert.fm/blog/our-50-year-roadmap-the-mondragon-of... The article mentions the highl

I'm with you on this. The feature list reads like a subset of later C++ standards that fit within C's (deliberately) rudimentary feature set. You could, in theory, just use C++ and be done with it. But like any C++ project you&#

I absolutely love it when we can take advantage of Go's type system and add additional traits and behaviors to existing types like this. That said, I noticed something odd here. In order for a module like this to really shine, I think

I'm not knocking it. At first glance this reminds me of a notebook like Jupyter. Was that an inspiration here? Also, how would you say this stacks up in terms of sharing these files and/or running them locally? Thanks. Edit: a

GPT? Probably not. But there are AI products out there that can be trained to do that kind of grunt work with text that has semi-regular features to it. Amazon Textract is one such tool.

Thank you for this. I appreciate that this (classic) article lays bare the essence of FP without the usual pomp and "use Lisp/Scheme/Haskell already" rhetoric. My takeaway is that FP is mostly about using functions w&#

To be fair, back in 2014 that was one frame at 60Hz or slower for some titles. At 80-120Hz, 3-5 frames is comparatively similar time.

The real question is: do Windows and Linux browsers handle the .webloc variety?

Thank you for sharing this. These are just stunners. Every last one.

I love everything about this. There is this undercurrent to our technology landscape. A kind of subculture somewhere in the locus of the hackersphere where a kind of punk-rock ethos rules the roost. I can only describe it as a live explora

Glad I'm not the only one. Squashing branches pre-merge, or post-merge solves the problems of commit purity (main/develop/prod/etc always builds at every commit) while preserving the intent of any MR/PR. Squashing

The graphs here show "significant sharing of artists" as lines between nodes (bands at an average point in album releases). I like this, but I think it leaves a lot out of the overall story. It's much, much harder to compile

If you mean "inscrutable to mere mortals and drives one to madness when heard aloud", then yes. Yes it is.

Considering that BF is about as "turing-machine-like" as you can get, it does seem like an essential thing to determine. As if we were to delve any deeper we'd have to split atoms to measure our progress; it's downrigh

Good point. I'm kind of a dumb-dumb when it comes to present-day pager tech. I haven't even seen one in decades. Let me rephrase the question then: if any measure was made to target just the pagers that were in the hands of Hezbo

That's a good point. I find myself using "increment" from time to time as it is.

When managing a project scrum I stick to a few things that have worked well for me. - Make it clear that the name "sprint" is a bad one. This is marathon. Encourage maintaining a steady pace and do not become a party to burn-out

Considering that each node's filter in their trie implementation is bloom-like already, the solution is awful close. I agree that testing wider swaths of the string at once might be a dramatic accelerator. A more naive approach might

It took me a moment to ponder the effectiveness of mapping utf8 characters into a bitmask. At first, it seemed unwise. Then I realized that 32 bits would get you `a-z` plus six special characters, and 64 bits would get you 'A-Z'

Exactly. What really gets me down is that our shopping options are often steered towards processed foods. Take a basic cost-benefit analysis of processed foods, for example. These are an obscenely good value in terms of calories per dollar

For me, I have a "nothing in a box or a bag" rule. Or more succinctly: "shop sparingly from the grocery store center." The idea is to avoid processed foods as much as possible and stick to staples, which are usually mo

Exactly. It's kind of amazing, actually. Imagine writing music where you lifted riffs from The Beatles, Jimmy Hendrix, and a dozen other famous rock bands, but just changed the key. You'd get sued into oblivion ( https:/&#x

There's some truth to this. Many years ago I met someone that related his travels to Germany. When visiting anything left over from WWII (e.g. old bunkers), or referencing anything that happened back then, they took to mentioning &quo

It's not just the helmet. I will maintain that Star Wars was quite possibly the best WWII movie of all time, although purely as an allegorical and referential work. In the timeless tradition of tailoring your story to your audience, t

I suspect heat is a limiting factor here. Also, if the vanes of the rotor are spinning _in_ the fluid, doesn't this also make it a torque converter? If so, then suddenly stopping the motor could be catastrophic depending on how much k

It's better than that. As an analog computer, both the inputs and outputs are _continuous_. So it's possible to get down to very small deltas that are only limited by the internal precision of the system itself, and the precisio

This is how I interpret things. People from that kind of background are also notoriously well-connected, so attempting a startup early or mid career isn't going to damage their ability to go back to the job market. For the rest of us
