I think you missed the point. Yeah it isn’t code and it has downsides, but it is a GUI for discovering and learning to intuit the API. To not use it would be tantamount to refusing to read the documentation. When entire teams are using visu

The article discusses how agonizing it must be for a guesser when they have to say no to something. But something I have been dealing with recently is actually the reverse—the resentment a guesser feels when told “no”. Because in their mind

IIRC there was some memory leak issue in the custom rendering engine/language that was being used and for a time the solution was to reboot any VM that has taken more than $x requests. $x was a very small number

More radical: legalize a path to ownership for renters. You rented with no issues for 5 years straight? Great that’s 20% down on your new mortgage, it’s yours. It isn’t that real estate can’t be an investment, but we should reward those who

To paraphrase Wittgenstein, is it more likely that we “discovered” chess or that we invented it? He suggests all of mathematics should be thought of in this way, as more and more complex ways of stating tautologies.

Yes modern pickup trucks are not useful for most work, or would be more useful in other forms. I note near me that most landscapers use older smaller Toyota trucks which are easier to reach into the bed without getting in it. Most work vehi

It reminds me of how Veep lost its edge once reality became too cynically depressing to make fun of. Satire can either become humorously out of touch or depressingly on the nose.

Right. And my point is that it won’t affect their bottom line at all. The power users think they have “communities” but they do not. To us plebs it is mostly an afterthought that there are different subreddits at all. Reddits front page cou

I’ma lurker on Reddit. No account, I just browse the top threads to kill time on the bus. From my perspective absolutely nothing has changed other than some new subreddits hitting the front page. The topics are the same. Maybe a little more

Spent all of 2021 using only an Alcatel “dumb phone”. It had an 8gb memory card for music, picked up FM radio, and had alarms and (very) basic internet access good enough to skim Wikipedia. The thing that made me go back to a “smart” phone

My impression of bukowski is that he was absolutely driven to write, but that he was an incredible slacker at work. That he worked only well enough and hard enough to drink and write (neither being incredibly expensive past times). So he wa
