Agree that Vim is a language to talk to your computer, but it's not necessarily efficient. Vim is famously an imperative editor: You have to tell Vim the sequence of steps to perform. Clicking your mouse on a position on the screen is

I'm really into audio production, and I would re-record the video without using a mechanical keyboard, and ideally not in an echo-y room. It's not very watchable right now. In addition to using a noisy keyboard not appropriate for

Very happy to see the punishment start against Matt, and I sincerely hope it continues and escalates. Not wishing for the end of WordPress, but Matt clearly needed to go a long time ago, and repercussions for his constant terrible actions w

It's intuitive and obvious that nothing remotely like a Boltzmann brain has ever existed nor will ever exist. The misunderstanding comes from the common, but fundamentally wrong belief, that an infinite universe means infinite possibil

No one knows what San, EPD, EPDSan, Sanepd, Kep, etc, are. No matter what the word, you have to learn it, and it's a small one time cost, and you're done. The additional cognitive load to learn a made up term is negligible.

I see his point about the "fediverse" and the potential benefits of anyone hosting their own message board, that has interoperability with other message boards, aka Mastodon. We've seen it though, Mastodon's model is gar

Rubocop is one of the worst Ruby tools there is. Flog and reek are also unhelpful, but Rubocop is style nonsense that doesn’t belong in a linter. The ESLint community used to be big on useless opinion based rule overload, until everyone rea

The human body doesn’t indiscriminately burn its weight in calories as fuel. Energy intake and expenditure is complicated. If someone expends energy through using up their stored glycogen, as most of us do, that may not use energy from fat

I don't agree React is good for game development, and I also am surprised by the title of this blog post compared to what you actually built. To be clear, the entire video is adding a textbox overlay to a non-React game. The actual g

"No formal definition" includes where we are today, not the original, outdated idea. By the original (not useful) definition, an "available" distributed system can return a response 10 years later, which is not helpful n

In distributed banking back-ends, if one of your datacenters goes down, you don't take down the other one for safety. You don't force global consistency/linearity of all transactions before allowing UI updates. There are dela

I prefer the walkthrough of the CAP theorem in “Designing Data Intensive Applications,” which says that the CAP “theorem” is an undefined and generally unhelpful concept in distributed systems. “Available” has no formal definition. And it’s

I'm guessing that Forbes Marketplace offers revenue sharing with each website they make this deal with, so it's profitable for all parties. Is there actually an issue here - legal or ethical or deceptive? This seems like business

Content moderation and visibility is a much more interesting question and space in BlueSky/ATmosphere. It's hard to care about the Twitter nonsense now.

What is the intent of allowing arbitrary document assignment to any other global user in the system, with zero default security checks in place? That seems like a fundamentally terrible idea. Other sharing systems require explicit steps to

It's hard to empathize with the people mailing that much cash. It's an inherently careless and risky thing to do, and mailing that much cash is very obviously (and ironically) done to avoid taxes and legitimate business transactio

Hopefully you've already come across myopic defocus lenses and low dose atropine in your reading about myopia. Overfocus in peripheral vision is a known trigger of myopia progression.

This doesn't really matter. We already know how this plays out because we've seen it on repeat. Bluesky gets a surge in users, then no one stays, no one uses the platform. They're missing too many features for Bluesky to be w

AT Protocol aggregators (“relays”) can choose their own content moderation policies. It’s possible that if there are multiple relays, and one of them doesn’t block violent / hate speech, the government would ban that relay and correspo

Mastodon was dead from the start, it isn’t in the running. Threads has too big of an image problem to overcome. No one wants Instagram for Twitter. Bluesky is the only platform currently that has a chance, but it’s an under funded, tiny tea

No settlement should be granted here, on principle. The law should not protect those that use an asset designed to subvert the government.
