Love to see the simulator screenshot. I was the one who added simulator support for the custom LCD: https://github.com/joeycastillo/second-movement/pull/26 . There is a very active…

Engineer who specializes in digital accessibility here. I wanted to clear up a few misconceptions on this point: """There is no easy way to jump long distances in the interface: TA…

Here is part two if anyone wants to continue reading: https://paulskallas.substack.com/p/refinement-culture-c1b .

Hello folks, Webflow engineer here. (On the accessibility team.) We are on a mission to dramatically make it easier to build for the web and are hiring across a bunch of roles: htt…

Not as strange an idea as you would think. In fact the ARM instruction set has a instruction for "Floating-point Javascript Convert to Signed fixed-point, rounding toward Zero" FJC…

And I’m not defending people who do that. But this also kind of proves the point of the article that we are quick to stereotype folks who do astrology, when it’s likely a very dive…

This quote is so good from the interview with Rachel Lo, co-founder of Struck: “I’ve always been a very science-focused person (I studied Mechanical Engineering & Materials Science…

I'm sorry but that is likely never going to happen. iOS is a custom version of OS X, which is a fork of FreeBSD. That C is likely never going to be completely replaced. I love Swif…

This author is asserting 5 years of lockdown but gives no reasons why specifically 5 years. They talk about the possibility of no vaccine working and herd immunity not working if t…

Nonpaywall link? I checked Google Cache and it's still paywalled. Impossible to have an informed opinion without reading the article. As "saving from capitalism" can mean so many d…

Here is what I found through searching. [0] Another author did also warn against the assumption that increased THC smoking -> increased psychosis chance. [1] It needs to be studied…

After some digging, I think Groovy got it first. Here is a blog post from 2009 about it: https://mrhaki.blogspot.com/2009/08/groovy-goodness-safe-nav... .

The efficiency claims of these are very nice: Sulfur Lamp: 100 lumens per watt. [0] Random LED Light bulb: 88.888 lumens per watt. [1] ~20% improvement. [0] https://web.archive.org…

“Because it’s the law” is not a moral argument, it’s an excuse. All manner of immoral deeds can be justified by legal means. In the words of MLK: “One has a moral responsibility to…

Not doing something because "you'll be dead before it happens" is pure selfishness. My personal observations from those close to me who don't want to act on climate change seem tha…

Because the IPCC didn't account for runaway positive feedback loops. So while the rise is slow, it is projected to increase exponentially as more of the Arctic melts: https://uploa…

That has quite a bit due to the fact that lobbying works and has an amazing ROI. It only cost about $1 million to divide voters enough to fail to pass a carbon tax in Washington St…

In other industries their past experience is also believed, rather then tested by random facts. I’ve had an interviewer ask me how to change Swift method names when exposing them t…

While it does seem like a cycle or that "history bends towards justice", let us remember that history will not bend on it's own. We are the agents of history. It will not passively…

I don't know you are being downvoted. There are already instructions in ARM chips to help with JS floating-point conversion [1]. Yes, while the "Java chips" never got into the mass…

By bringing in people with accessibility needs. Few ways: 1. Large cities have accessibility Meetups, go to one and strike up a conversation and offer to pay someone to user test y…

Sorry I did mean cohesion, not coercion. I'm happy that my context mainly made that obvious, but that is quite the typo. (It's too late for me to change it in the original comment.…

From my understanding it's hard to know too much about his latter years because while his health was deteriorating his sister took over his estate and started publishing his fragme…
