About SupremumLimit

I've written a series of books called C++11/14 Rocks. I blog about C++11/14 at http://cpprocks.com.

I've created a Ruby and a C++11 video course for pluralsight.com.

I'm also a founder at Aotea Studios (http://aoteastudios.com). We make training products for business analysts with a focus on visual communication.

I'm an experienced C++, Ruby and CoffeeScript developer.

    This is a severely outdated view. Based on current policies, we're heading for something like 2.6 degrees of warming which I think is somewhere between RCP4.5 and RCP6.0. It's stil…

    It used to be that they included a bunch of software to make their hardware more useful. But I guess they couldn't resist squeezing out a bit more revenue through enshittification.…

    I take your point that there is a limit on meaningful activities one can undertake but I disagree that it's some kind of zero-sum situation. I used to find my work more meaningful …

    I disagree quite strongly. I derive a lot of meaning from these types of activities (in addition to family and friends of course) and zero meaning from my job. It's the narrow focu…

    Really? This just proves the point of the grandparent comment. I can think of at least three types of activities off the top of my head: sports (granted, not all of them, but defin…

    Sure, but there is also China where over half of new vehicle sales are EVs. Denmark is at 70%, Sweden, Iceland, Finland and the Netherlands are all above 50%, a bunch of other coun…

    Indeed. I’m holding on to my 24” Dell P2415Q that I got like 10 years ago because it’s the perfect size for my desk and there just isn’t anything in that size to replace it with.

    How’s it going so far? Greenhouse gas emissions only keep rising. There’s no basis to rate humanity’s chances positively based on actual evidence to date, even despite all the posi…

    It isn’t just intuitive enough, it’s more intuitive and precise than the ICE setup. It’s safer too, as the car starts braking before I even reach the brake pedal in an emergency br…

    How can you assert that it will evaluate everyone equally when biases are a well documented deficiency of various flavours of AI?
