Being alone in the city, "alone in the crowd", feels just as lonely if not more so for me than walking alone in the forest. The latter I expect to be alone, but in the former, I'm surrounded by people but with no connection.

I too wish for the 11” MacBook Air again, but having a 15” model in that line seems like a good idea too.

I seriously doubt GP’s income is average. They did not make any claims about the average households tax burden either, only their own.

This should be the top link, not the image. The discussion here might be much better if commenters read the article the graph is attached to.

I looked into a newer faster charging EV, but they are ridiculously expensive. Current plan is wait until 2025 and start shopping used.

I’d take that downside over having to mix languages on each platform. UI toolkit Rust bindings for all the platforms I want to target would let me just write Rust instead of also having to write Swift, Java, JavaScript, etc.

I found CRLS dry and difficult. Skiena’s Algorithm Design Manual was much more approachable for me. That was my go to during interview practice.

How to Design Programs: https://htdp.org/ I already had a strong programming background in Java, C, JavaScript and PHP. I thought an introductory programming class at the Master’s level would be a waste of time. Going thr

No. It’s based on esbuild which does not check types.

swc and tsx are already significantly faster than tsc, partly due to being written in faster languages, or languages that make it easier to write fast code with minimal runtimes.

No, but the TypeScript compiler will also check types specified in JSDoc: https://devclass.com/2023/05/11/typescript-is-not-worth-it-f... https://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook&#x2F

There was an earlier comment wondering where the letters author might move to, since Illinois is an average state in terms of violence and crime. Ironically?, Massachusetts would be one of the safest states in the country for him to move to

You must not have any smoke alarms at all, then. Every smoke alarm in every place I’ve ever lived has had false alarms. I hate smoke detectors so much. The manufacturers are too scared of liability to consider that smoke alarms only work

With usable screen space. Pixel doubling on a 4k 32” display leaves you with just 1080p effective resolution. Everything is way too big. It would be fine at 24”, but it’s not useful at 32”. At 32” I want 1440p at least.

I don’t know about WebGPU, but WebGL is missing some key performance features from OpenGL ES, like client-side buffers, pixel buffer objects, and MSAA render-to-texture frame buffers.

No. Types make the function signatures clear and obvious. If the types are really complicated, then the function probably is too.

Same. I was looking for an affordable 5k 32" monitor that can actually do 2X scaling properly. A neat tool, but not what "Mac Monitor" brings to mind for me.

That’s pretty cool! Tabletop induction burners that use standard outlets are way more cost effective than induction ranges, too. That thing is $200, which didn’t even pay the electrician bill to put in the 240V 50A outlet and circuit for m
