Ultimately houses are built in the way that works for the region they're built in. Europe has few trees and few earthquakes (outside of Romania, Italy, etc). Masonry houses make sense. In California unreinforced masonry is illegal an

It's hard to imagine Zig ever becoming stable and conservative. Even at 10 years old, it's still as beta as ever. At some point the churn becomes part of the culture. Not a complaint, just an observation. I like that they are tryi

We are at level 2.5 for software development, IMO. There is a clear skill gap between experienced humans and LLMs when it comes to writing maintainable, robust, concise and performant code and balancing those concerns. The LLMs are very fas

This test is so far beyond AGI. Try to spit out the SVG for a pelican riding a bicycle. You are only allowed to use a simple text editor. No deleting or moving the text cursor. You have 1 minute.

The way I think of complex numbers is as linear transformations. Not points but functions on points that rotate and scale. The complex numbers are a particular set of 2x2 matrices, where complex multiplication is matrix multiplication, i.e.

Sounds like a bunch of hot air. What is Google going to do, blacklist LE and break half of the web? I think LE could just ignore this.

I know of no other country that locks people up while they process immigration appeals. That's crazy. Other countries will either summarily deport you and make you resolve your status from outside the country, or let you stay while you

Today I'm writing a Postgres native function to derive UUIDs from an integer primary key using AES intrinsics. This lets me expose public UUID keys while still using an efficient 64-bit sequential primary key. Not sure if I'll use

TSMC can shut the fabs down whenever they want. If the US think they can take over a fab like it's a t-shirt factory and keep it running without TSMC's cooperation they are sorely mistaken. What are you going to do when none of th

In the UK the driving test requires a portion of driving using a satnav, the idea being that drivers are going to use satnavs so it's important to test that they know how how to use them safely. The same goes for using Claude in a pr

Xcode is perpetually decade(s) behind the curve. VSCode is so much more advanced, even Atom 10 years ago was. To put it in a language Apple understands, it's like forcing music producers to use GarageBand when everyone else is on Logic

Nobody is saying that building a data center in space is impossible. It's merely expensive. Who is going to pay the money to rent capacity in space when they could rent the same capacity on Earth for a fraction of the cost?

I have been using the Secure variant for the last 10 years. It's effective, in that time my shoelaces have become loose precisely zero times, even though the knot is otherwise easy to untie.

Ooh and aah aren't words, they're sounds (onomatopoeia). A sound is just a sequence of letters used for their phonological values. You can spell the sound "ah" however you like: ah, ahh, aah, aahh, there's no wrong

Birds and spiders are much smaller than humans, see point 1. It's unlikely that a bird, spider, or even a rat will be able to cook dinner for you. Birds are much better at being dinner. The most "successful" bird by a very

1. The world is designed for humans. If you need to reach the places humans reach then you need to be the same size as a human. 2. Nature has tested many different form factors and the human form dominated the others.

This is a terrible idea. This meta tag will get copied and pasted by people who don't know what it means and the site will look just fine to the web developer, but whenever someone with larger text size tries to use the site it will

This article is so batty it's hard to take seriously. The Nordics are not going to be allowed to develop a nuclear weapon. I know the UNSC seems toothless most of the time, but on this issue they are united.
