Use a static site generator that is written in a language that you know well, so that you will be comfortable updating it and installing extensions. I use Pelican because I am comfortable with Python. Many people use Jekyll because they are

Meta is weird because Zuckerberg has a controlling stake. As he has shown with the VR/Metaverse push, he has the ability to get Meta to invest heavily in new businesses that have high risk / high potential. I suspect that if he th

I think that the trick is to try to find new and upcoming brands that have a reputation for quality, and learn what high quality looks like so that you can confirm personally that the product is good. This is difficult and requires ongoing

I guess I should also mention Inform7 for interactive fiction as another example. That is an extremely weird language. It's shaped to the minds of fiction authors, who are very, very different from software engineers.

There's definitely a lot of similarities. I think of MATLAB, Mathematica, R, and Python together as "practitioner's languages". These are languages that are designed from the core to be highly productive to a specific ki

+1. I am a software engineer but I double majored in statistics and wrote a lot of R in undergrad. The library ecosystem is incredible. Essentially any technique in statistics has a well-documented R package that is one library() call away.

I did some more research and I was wrong. My source was an AMD tech talk from years ago where they mentioned keeping instruction timings the same for backwards compatibility reasons. I believe they were talking about this for the XBox One X

+1. An important non-obvious detail for AMD is that they (at least in the past, I assume for this as well) have kept the instruction timings similar from generation to generation of consoles. Different x86 micro-architectures benefit from w

Also, public transit systems are very safe during commuter hours. That’s when they work best. If I were a parent, I would not be concerned about letting my children take public transit / walk home as a group during 3-4pm. The city real

In NYC, every day between 3-4pm, the streets and public transit are packed with groups of kids hanging out and getting home from school. Then between 5-6pm it shifts to adult commuters, just as packed. I’ve always thought that that was cool

This uses the same TUI library as IPython, called prompt_toolkit. It’s the best one for Python in my opinion. Pretty easy to work with.

The chibicc commit history is a fun read. It builds up a mostly working C compiler from nothing, adding one small feature on each commit, keeping a working compiler at every step. It really is pleasant and informative to read.

There’s sometimes some truth to the “I could do it in a weekend” thing (hear me out!). I think it is often true that 1) a talented programmer 2) can solve their own specific use case 3) in a janky way that is only usable to them, in a weeke

Many NYC buses let you enter at the middle or back of the bus, so it is easy to simply not tap when you get on. You don’t go past the bus driver.
