I have really come to enjoy using LINQ queries (specifically with lambda syntax) in the C# language. Although I’m a little biased because I work mostly in C#.

As others have commented, I believe strongly that to define “language brain” and “math brain” is a false dichotomy and bunk neuroscience. Mathematics IS a language in itself; a collection of symbols created to express concepts. This study w

Didn’t read the article, but why would an app not just check for updates on startup/shutdown?

How did feng shui not get a mention? Or the admittedly lesser-mentioned ikigai? Or Kaizen? Or from the business/manufacturing world, 6 sigma?

The way I describe language types to non-coders inquiring about language selection for a given project is simply “scale matters”… dynamic types provide flexibility at small scale, but can very easily result in chaos at a large scale. Conver

Sounds like he could have been using an implementation of stable-diffusion+control-net. I’ve used Automatic1111, but I understand comfyUI and somethingsomething forge are more modern versions.

One of the most common malapropisms that I seem to notice most often is when someone is “proud to be apart of the team/project”.

I also know this joy. I also get a little internal delight intentionally mixing up “classic adages”. I have yet to encounter anyone who has caught it - most of the time it appears to just be perceived as weird. (e.g. people who live in glas

The latest Mac minis have a great reputation although it’s been a little over a decade since I’ve personally used a MacBook as my daily driver. Every year I tell myself “this is the year I buy one of those Apple silicon MacBooks”. I have a

I liken ‘vibe coding’ to Low/No-code platforms. It’s an attempt to achieve the same results with the added constraints of less precise control over what you’re ACTUALLY building. It is an abstraction over the code you’re writing (or no

To go along with this UX argument: it’s always been my perception that native apps often lean towards a stateful design while web apps try for stateless. Maybe that’s too abstract (read - incorrect), but was always just where my intuition l

We are big fans of bluey. Also interesting to note that, it’s my understanding that it was a conscious choice to keep the identities of Bluey and Bingo secret in an effort to shield them from any ill effects of fame at such a young age. You

The fact that it is still as much of an art as it is a science means there is no “correct” values for these things. Only heuristics and guess-and-checks.

I think differentiating roles between “effort” vs “results” is an interesting concept. I don’t have first-hand experience with a formal role ladder. I work in a small firm where I created my own role building a software platform internal to

Not to be overly pedantic, but this comment misses one major important delineation between engineering and science. The old adage is that “with engineering, if you don’t know what you’re doing; you’re doing it wrong. With science, if you kn

After reviewing the official Spotify terms you referenced, I’m not quite sure what types of apps would be permitted at all? Sort of off-putting on Spotify’s part. The terms are so restrictive it makes one wonder why they would even offer th

The level of data collection described in the article (I didn’t spot much detail, only that it’s more than is immediately obvious) is: A. completely expected from Chinese software B. Seemingly on par with the likes of any US big-tech firm O

Really love his “let’s build” series - I end up picking up cool Python tricks along the process, even in addition to the higher level content.

I may be wrong, but to my knowledge OpenAI: - did not invent transformer architecture - did not invent diffusion architecture - did not come up with the idea for multi-modality - did not invent the notion/architecture of the latest “ag

Wow, sounds awesome! What types of projects did you work on for the platform/product? Since I’ve become very familiar with Revit’s API (and its shortcomings) I often wonder if I should consider a role on the actual Revit dev team helpi
