The problem with successful tech figures is that, over time, they often become convinced they can succeed at anything. Musk is a glaring recent example - and now Paul. I do appreciate his essays on tech and related subjects, but not for the

It’s a lovely speech. I’m older now and can appreciate it. However, I’m not sure if I would have in my twenties. Unfortunately, some things can't be advised or taught - you have to discover them for yourself through trial and error.

I knew someone who had email ??@ua (two letters masked for priivay) which might have been one of the shortest email addresses in the world. Unfortunately it was not very useful as most email systems failed to recognize it as a valid email a

They should take a look at OPAM (OCaml’s package manager). There was a really impressive talk at the OCaml Workshop at POPL or ICFP a couple of years ago about how it works. Basically, they have a huge CI infrastructure and keep all version

Many of us dislike Microsoft and big corporations, but here’s my (possibly unpopular) take: 1. Open source worked as expected. Some MIT-licensed code was forked under the same licence, giving users more options and contributing further to t

They continue to baffle users with their version numbering. Intiutively 4.5 is newer/better than 4.1 and perhaps 4o but of course this is not the case.

One thing I would definetely do is to secure my password manager. This would minimise potential exposure in the future in case your phone is backed up in some government database. 1Password have a feature for that: https://suppor

That reminded me: Back in the early '90s, I wrote an MS-DOS TSR ( Terminate and Stay Resident ) "boss key" program. It would bring up a fake TurboC compilation screen whenever I pressed a key - just in case my boss walked in

We tried something similar 17 years ago. We couldn’t achieve true P2P, but we managed to relay a data stream via a server without store-and-forward. The startup was called Pipebytes, and we even got a bit of news coverage: https:/&#x2

I wonder if they could use a time-sharing approach. Instead of permanently shutting down instruments, they could run different sets, with a maximum of three at a time.

I think the main problem is that highligthing framework used by tree-sitter ( https://github.com/tree-sitter/tree-sitter/tree/master/highl... ) is not easily pluggable into emacs font-lock-mode.
