I've been at Google for almost 12 years. It's been this way the whole time I've been there.

When I'm writing web stuff "for fun", I try to avoid frameworks. It seems a lot more enjoyable. When I do, though, I use vanilla Javascript. I'd really love to do framework-less Typescript. In theory, you can, I guess

I remember reading about Arc forever ago. I thought it never went anywhere. A quick look at the tutorial and it isn't clear how it deviates from vanilla lisp/scheme. (I kinda expected a description of how it is different on t

All things being equal, obviously, having money makes things easier. That doesn't mean that children born to rich parents can all be successful entrepreneurs. And it doesn't mean you need rich parents to be successful. But eve

Yeah, I mean, I know it's easy to get the ROMs. Just wondered if any of the original manufacturers made them available for sale .

Dumb question: is there a way to legally buy ROMs (meaning licenses) that can be played in MAME?

I'm definitely no expert. But it feels to me that Russia really does not want to invade Ukraine. This feels like a bluff. It's been going on too long and has been too telegraphed. I worry that the West "calling this bluf

Interesting to see this post the day after I saw that Twitter now allows NFT profile pics -- and the same day the prices for the major crypto "currencies" are taking a beating.

Between Germany shutting down its nuclear and "crypto", I'm not very optimistic about reducing global CO2 emissions.

I agree. To take it one step further: I have a pretty good relationship with my employer (coincidentally, Google). I don't need or want a third party to get in the middle of it.

Not sure it matters much, but I had been using justwatch often. It stopped working for me a while back: search just wouldn't do anything. I just cleared all my cookies and now it works again. Not sure how big the problem is, but at

One of the things about "extreme weather attribution" that makes me uncomfortable is the asymmetry of it. To be clear: I'm in no way an expert (or even educated) in the area. To give an example. Let's say there's

I'm not an expert in any way. But my understanding is that they did/do test on a lot of different axes. But what they found was that people tend to have strong correlations between those scores. As in: if you are good at one, y

What's your opinion, then? Is "intelligence" incapable of being measured? Or do we need a "suite" of numbers? (Or something else?)

If I were to buy one of your NFTs, what does that get me? Do you confer a license to the photo that I can use elsewhere? Can I use it in an ad? Can I sell copies of it?

Think about doctors or nurses. We already have a shortage. Changing their workweek from 40 to 32 basically means a 20% reduction in healthcare workers. How are we going to suddenly add 20% more workers to the industry? And if the idea wa
