The article doesn't explain why this wasn't a problem before, I mean at least I don't remember having "fire season" a decade ago. Maybe it's some other cause but I'm still doubting the reasons behind what

My understanding is that it was being done until relatively recently when CA politicians leaned so heavily left that burning small fires to prevent bigger ones was somehow a threat to the environment and global warming. I haven't confi

Not sure, but I would think it would not be about the quantity of games, but the quality and the number of players per game. PS seems to have many more "blockbuster" games, although I'm just guessing. I like Xbox, and also I&

Right, but they are general purpose monospace fonts. I would think something like a Haskell font or Python font would go beyond that and provide tailored designs for those languages. I wouldn't be surprised if those exist, but haven&#x

Agreed, but they're too far behind. Japan is just too good at making video games, and in part I blame the attitude towards video games in the West (mostly US and UK).

Isn't there an argument on how AI is even more dangerous than nukes? Why would you regulate your own capabilities, unless you want to lose the inevitable AI cold war.

Slow is smooth, smooth is fast. Forgot where that's from but I think it's a Navy or Marine saying.

It seems we're really close to making language specific fonts. Haskell would certainly be a prime candidate for this.

There are multiple dimensions of trade-offs from which to choose from, i.e. runtime speed vs. convenience of writing, complexity of learning vs. powerful type systems, etc.

This is really cool! It works so well.

Yeah I agree with that. It's about owning your "main" focus. Being late one day and having the excuse that you had to do another job would not be ok, yet you can give many other typical excuses regarding family or dealing wit

The real value prop of having a full time employee, is you own their full time focus five days a week. It's not about practicing a trained skillset, or providing expertise ONLY, it's also about owning part of the business, managin

I don't think extinction is a risk, that is an exaggeration but I think some of the warnings are plausible. At worse it could be a civilization collapse. The most likely negative outcome will be dealing with the disruption in every are

They're not mutually exclusive. I for one moved out during lockdowns because of the crime (and hygiene issues). I would have stayed otherwise, regardless of WFH or not.

Well, I thought it I was the only one, or at least an outlier. The jargon is driving me insane. It's not just the jargon, it's also commonly used words that are overloaded, like 'leadership', or 'initiative'. T

I think your contention that it's not real intelligence is properly described by "artificial", i.e. artificial flavors like lemon are not the same as lemon juice. Also, and maybe more importantly, it can be argued that reason

Overton window has mostly moved left, but it has also expanded because we are more polarized than ever. The mainstream culture is definitely on the left, and I think that people on the left don't like that because you need to be consta

Isn't it beyond liberal? I would almost say it's so left it's not even liberal anymore, but that's a different matter. i think for sure it is a factor because the people who make decisions in the city, who are elected to

Sounds like conspiracy theories. No dunking, just saying. SF is far left just like Oakland and they both seem to have unique problems other cities aren't experiencing. I could be wrong, but so far I've predicted the downturn and I

Right-wing in SF? Sounds like what they'd say given how far left the entire city is.

I wonder if this is driven by AI already. This could be a good example of how dominoes will start falling. Companies will start grouping and flattening the hierarchy of the people who will be replaced by AI. I'm not even sure what the

It's not really a function because it doesn't take the entire input and generate the whole output. It's more of a stream of inputs and a stream of outputs, and the outputs go back in as inputs. It's basically an app, wit

I'm aware this is the current industry standard, at least in large orgs. It seems to me it's undermining the amount of effort it takes to learn and practice engineering because it is evidently not enough value by itself. I think w
