   So, DTrace with Wireshark UI?

   To me it looks like a strategic investment in data center capacity, which should drive domestic hardware production, improvements in electrical grid, etc. Putting it all under AI label just makes it look more exciting.

   To give it more of BIOS UI feel it could use `[ ]` and `[x]` for checkboxes.

   In React animations shouldn't run through reconciler, variables for JS animation should use `refs` which are mutable variables outside of React state. React supported `refs` for cases like this long before hooks were introduced.

   To work around light mode we have Dark Reader extension. Is the author frustrated enough to make a Light Reader extension?

   It's a different way to capture energy stored in fuel. Normally to produce electricity from fuel you would spin a turbine, either with a mechanical engine or using vapour. But here the energy is captured through a photo cell, and the a

   It's not like cold fusion, the lightcell is based on well-understood physics. The author may be too optimistic with efficiency claim, but those are relatively easy to verify independently.

   First, 'doing the damn work' all day feels horrible. You need to do some self-assigned and self-guided work during the day to not feel like an assembly line worker. Second, tweaking your local setup is more like 'ergonomics&#

    Thanks, that's the best explanation!

    From Rust official docs: `let lock = Arc::new(Mutex::new(0_u32));` Doesn't this mean that Mutex introduces one more pointer? For example, in Java every Object has a built-in mutex, adding some memory overhead in order to remove one ext

    Ok, so do I understand correctly that Arc<MyType> would be read-only, and for write access I'll have to use Arc<Mutex<MyType>> or Arc<RwLock<MyType>>? So what about Mutex and RwLock, do they have any stati

    I'll swallow the bait and try asking some sceptical questions here. My understanding of Rust memory management is that move semantics and default lifetime-checked pointers are used for single threaded code, but for multi-threaded code

    For Calculus you can easily explain to the unenlightened that many physical and engineering laws work in terms of speed and acceleration of measurable values, and Calculus is a mathematical framework for working with this.

    Overturning Lambda-CDM model removes only one observation that is explainable by Dark Matter (peaks in spectrum of CMB). It's not the only observation.

    I find LLMs helpful for starting projects, but I don't see how they are helpful for finishing projects. Finishing is about cutting the scope and re-considering the goals based on discovered constraints, which is more like analytical wo

    I would recommend reading "The Status Game" by Will Storr. In short: try to join as many communities as possible, you will get emotionally rewarded just for being accepted. Eventually you will find ones where you really want to fi

    The name pre-dates the Karen stereotype, but IMO the naming clash is beneficial. I won't be surprised if miniKanren implementation for some new language is actually called Karen.

    > make things so simple+dumb that the cognitive load when maintaining all that code is minimized. That's not very smart in BigCo, instead you want the complexity to leak into adjacent systems and make them depend on you.
