I'm smack dab in that "reads a book every few months" demographic, and also in that "people who work with formal systems for a living" demographic mentioned in this book review. I would absolutely recommend it for p

I'm very curious what your prompts are, and whether you're cherry-picking (deliberately or not). I can't reproduce any of your findings with ChatGPT, Gemini, or Gemma 4 (within AI Studio).

They offer a ton of locations around the world, like most VPNs. But I mostly used locations in the U.S. near my home exit node. I suspect it is something related to routing.

Yeah, that sentence on Wikipedia is a bit unclear though. It might be merely claiming that, for some musical cultures, we don’t have a written record of an explicit notion of octave equivalence or tone name circularity. But I suspect there

The commenter presumably was talking about octave equivalence , which is reportedly present across all or nearly all historical musical cultures that we know about. It’s also supposedly present in some other mammals.

For $5 a month you can also get a Mullvad VPN exit node. It’s billed directly through Tailscale which makes it painless. When I’m outside the U.S. I get much better speeds through the Mullvad exit node than through my (U.S.) home exit node.

Except that the supposed views held by these CEOs (iPads, social media, AI, etc. can be bad for kids) are also widely held mainstream views. That's the only reason people are bringing the views up here...because they already agree with

Percentage of mass is probably the wrong metric to look at, because it assumes that the USPS could simply eliminate the X% of mass used by junk mail and save roughly X% on fuel/delivery costs. But of course the issue is that the junk m

If your decision procedure is so simple that you always throw out any container with zero dots and always keep any container with non-zero dots, then perhaps it saves a small amount of time. But that's a pretty coarse decision proc

by tshaddox 7mo ago
For me, the hard part isn’t remembering how many times I’ve used a container or item in the last month or year. The hard part isn’t simply dedicating the time to comb through a bunch of stuff and get rid of the unused stuff.

If a whole of people thought that running code through a linter or formatter was objectionable, I'd probably just dismiss their beliefs as invalid rather than adding the linter or formatter as a co-author to every commit.

text-wrap can help to balance out the number of words per line, but it still doesn’t eliminate the extra empty space on the right edge of the box.

by tshaddox 7mo ago
The most practical use case is the text bubble wrapping one. That’s always frustrating when you want to wrap text inside any box with a border or background color (like a button or a “badge” component).

My point is that there probably is no way in principle to distinguish between a human user utilizing automation on their own behalf in good faith (e.g. RSS readers) and bad faith automations.

Arguably it didn’t see widespread commercial adoption for 30 years, and you wouldn’t expect fundamental design flaws regarding commercial incentives to manifest before that.

Is anyone talking about the fact that this is a fundamental design flaw of the web? Or arguably even the entire Internet?

Doesn’t really make sense, because any service can just say “you must paste your human-attestation JWT here to use this service” and plenty of people will.

This seems like a clever (but perhaps overly clever) amendment to Section 230 protections for social media. However, I've always thought that it's pretty bizarre for Section 230 protections to apply when the social media company h

I suppose we could quibble about what exactly “standard library” means, but I’m presuming we’re talking about the web (rather than, say, Node or Bun). And to me it’s fair to use it to refer to all web APIs that are widely available. Things

I think that inconvenience could be manageable depending on how full the fridge is and what sort of organizing features it has. It’s already pretty inconvenient to get something out of the back of a traditional fridge that is completely ful

by tshaddox 7mo ago
If you completely remodeled a kitchen around a chest fridge it might not be too terribly inconvenient. But the major blocker is that virtually every kitchen is designed with a perfect spot for a tall, relatively shallow fridge.

I think this is actually the reason the Neo has 8 GB of RAM (non-upgradable). It’s their anti-cannibalization strategy. They’re relying on the huge portion of their existing laptop market who self-identifies as “tech-savvy” or “enthusiast”
