I was gonna suggest, instead of relying on your descendants/lawyers, “simply” avoid physical aging and death yourself, then you can continue to maintain the website. Good starter resource: https://www.amazon.com/Aboliti

The board is not compensated in equity, nor are they employees, nor they can be fired based on their decisions. The reasons fb gets dunked on (among others) is because people in comment sections are too lazy to spend 10 seconds to Google a

In practice pipes actually work in the opposite direction, the one you like: they allow people to break down nested expressions. Pipes allow the language to report granular line numbers and you can do error handling in them, if it’s functio

I wonder how many engineers (and others) are “pigeon-holed” in their careers. Change is scary and exciting, rewarding and risky. Tim can be an inspiration, or an outlier we can enviously watch from our seats. The latter will at least be hel

Both Flow and CoffeeScript got this right, while TS is slowly dragging its feet towards the right solution: Pretend there’s no difference between them. Your code will be easier to reason about. If you need two different “other values”, use

We used PID in our robotics class (for driving). But I was dismayed how little literature there was on the topic. From my research back then “the details are closely guarded company secrets”.

Now get that list of different implementations going. I’ve been thinking of something similar, and this is a good list, but is it “exhaustive”? What would such a list look like? Is there an objective way to explore all the various challenge

Which reminds me, the doc doesn’t mention typeaheads. The ability to provide suggestions should be one of the considerations when designing a new syntax.

It actually looks pretty similar to GraphQL but without parens around argument lists. I wonder whether the author looked at it as well (might be interesting to compare).

I have a wip project that also tries to deal with all physical units and conversions between them. It was quite a lot of fun to figure out (but the current inplementation isn’t great): https://recomputer.io

Serious question to self: How often do you need those updates? And to what depth? If you’re in Afghanistan, you probably wouldn’t miss what’s going on. If you’re not, and you’re prioritizing “being a genius”, should you care?

I loved History of English, but beware it is not brief.

Not much interesting here. I recommend “The Abolition of Aging” for a good primer on the possibilities of affecting aging (including socio-economic questions). The article mentions both physical limits, and geneticly encoded aging, and argu

I personally chose longer schooling because I loved school. Looking at people who graduated earlier I’m envious that they can start a family earlier. I don’t know about money, but with kids I think age is important (doubly so for women).

Why require Pure to be an annotation - why not make that the default without annotation - no effects? (Same as in Haskell)

Except if you need to run the app on remote server. VS Code shows how utterly difficult it is to get a GUI working well in that scenario.

Very cool, I'm building a similar project atm as well (not ready to share, but you could dig it up easily), the latex reprinting of input is an interesting twist that I'm sure many people will appreciate. I am afraid this domain i

Can you give an example of a quaternion computation that would be useful in a calculator? I would imagine that quaternions and GA are best suited to have a graphical output, ala https://enkimute.github.io/ganja.js/examp

Yes, there are bugs in it that I don’t think are documented anywhere. We do have working video calling on mSafari, but we’re actively trying to kill that dependency.

I started watching SG1 again (I saw it incomplete as a kid). It’s incredibly good. It pushes rationalism and feminism in a sane way that I’m not sure would happen in today’s environment. It’s incredibly rich in historical references and con

This is a cool idea, definitely don’t give up and iterate. I’d either add arrow tips so that the direction of the flow is obvious, or perhaps just render the connections on the cell edges or between them as others suggested. Once you get th

Open devtools, Sources, ice.js, on line 5193, change 2 to 40. Fixes the speed of the first animation. Disclaimer: I don't know what the real speed should be. The whole website is amazing though.

In JSX it wouldn’t be obvious whether “en” is a variable/literal or a string.
