I ctrl-Fed for "http" in this post and looked through the 61 links, following several of them that seemed like they may be relevant. I didn't find anything that appeared talked abo…

Where can you buy a workstation like that for so little?

Is there somewhere I can read more about what you are claiming in these comments? How did you learn about these housecleaning activities?

This 20-minute video argues that downtowns subsidize suburbs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q1G3D55LD-E . I found the arguments pretty persuasive. I'd love to hear counterpoints …

There's a coherent argument for doing so: if the law is enforced, and no one wants it to be enforced, it creates pressure to fix the law. Laws that are on the books but not enforce…

Worse than vibe coding is vibe copywriting—and it appears to have that in spades. I have a really hard time taking something seriously that reads like it came straight out of Claud…

The most practical way to do this is to ensure that your indoor air CO2 levels aren't significantly elevated over outdoor levels. One common way to do that (apart from opening wind…

I suspect the intent is to minimize return on investment. The returns from climate data are returns that the current administration does not want.

That's about what I would expect from an organization named Government Accountability Office: hold the government accountable to its written guidelines (or at least report on how w…

One reason there's no Perforce support for Gerrit/Rietveld is that Google doesn't use those tools for changes to code that's stored in Piper. Instead, they use Critique: - https://…

A lot of academic reputation, as well as performance evaluation (for example toward tenure) is based on being published in "prestigious" journals. If you could fix that problem, I …

Don't forget copper interconnects for ICs. https://www.chiphistory.org/ibm-s-development-of-copper-inte...

The first line of the article starts out "Thirteen years ago last August, I was camped out in NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory press room..."

I wonder what the energy/evolutionary cost of densely-connected brains is. If it's advantageous, why are crows exceptional?

What's the security story? I would love to adopt cloud dev environments that are constrained enough that I can safely run agents in YOLO mode, but not so constrained that they are …

It helps a bit more than you imply, though: if you can launch from a higher altitude, you have less atmosphere to plow through. That lets you use more of your propellant to speed u…

I think the hard part for me about doing something like that is not forgoing those things, it's figuring out what to eat instead. Any tips?

Less of a possibility than in a similar combustion vehicle, though, since EVs tend to be heavier.

The first version was part of Code Search proper, and wasn't super useful for much more than just typo fixes, since it was essentially just a textarea edit box. That was eventually…

Very true. It was still hundreds of millions of lines of first party code a decade ago, and could easily be over a billion at this point.

Only 25 million? :) Google had billions a decade ago... https://research.google/pubs/why-google-stores-billions-of-l...

I'm curious: have you done a (single or double) blind test where you prepare dishes (selected at random) with or without MSG/aspartame/yeast extract and record the effects? To be c…

A recent Atlantic article [1] by someone involved in the Mississippi reforms gives a good outline of what they did/are doing. It includes science-based reading curriculum and holdi…

AI makes a great scapegoat. Need to lay off people? "AI." Need to switch to closed source? "AI."

Are you sure it was fake scarcity for Gmail? IIRC they did it because they were worried about systems falling over if it grew too fast, and discovered the marketing benefits as a s…
