Nearly all my hackathon projects were hardware, back in college. A couple examples (both from HackPrinceton, which had the best EE labs): * https://blog.cyrusroshan.com/post/electr…

This works if you're on call for your systems. In many situations (ranging from small startups to big tech), you're also on-call for the systems of sister teams. Not that there are…

It's quite easy, actually. We did this at work, recently. Bun is two things. Most commonly, it's known for its Node-competitor runtime, which is of course a very invasive change. B…

A bit aggressive. No, wouldn't connecting to a slow 3g tower affect ping times to all global servers proportionately? The proposal has other flaws, but phone to tower latency isn't…

An interpretation that makes sense to me: humans are non-deterministic black boxes already at the core of complex systems. So in that sense, replacing a human with AI is not unreas…

In general, the way a walled garden wins is by providing everything its villagers need inside. And Apple’s products seem to create walled gardens in order to prioritize [first crea…

This sounds depressing. I’m sorry that you had that experience. It’s a frustrating position to be in, and you can feel quite helpless. In my experience, it’s less about “do only wh…

Go bootstraps itself (Go is compiled by Go) but Gofmt does not format itself (an even simpler job).

Nice find. I think you're right. FWIW, I don't think the code style in [2] is less simple (slightly more readable, to use `if (X) {} else {}` rather than `if (!X) {} else {}`, for …

Stay tuned! We’re building this out soon. :)

real users have more CPU than a literal toaster (or smart air fryer, or IP camera, or many other common botnet devices)

Exactly. I know if medication were to be developed, checking "are GDF15 levels significantly lowered" would be part of the trials. But how often does the medication development pro…

Posting a Wikipedia link without commentary or context is essentially a text meme. It doesn’t invite discussion. What are you trying to say? (Not that I disagree with your point, b…

You’re both right—a better world emerges, when we each look towards ourselves to solve the problems we see.

Using JavaScript is also “basically free”. There’s no problem with either listed approach, GP just seems to consider a method without page reloads as adhering to a harder constrain…

> How would you alternatively design a system that calls emergency services in a crash? If you want to prevent false positives—then, same as you’ve described, but only enable when …
