Just as stating the wrong thing would be the quickest way to elicit a response in the past, so too can 'dumb' questions prime the context for more complex queries. I am all for thi…

Software has a dependency contract that is quite unique. We can't imagine the shelflife beyond the Bazaar or Cathedral. They seem ever lasting. The myth of impossibility remains, b…

Alternative to resolving an image via Einstein ring lensing?

I think social graphs are often pre-disposed to capturing strong interactions only—an email chain, a trace-able back and forth (just as this), friend degree networks—not the off-ha…

The weak ties were strong all along.

As far as I understand it, the storage is the space, or rather, spacetime emerges from a system's informational capacity and the degrees of freedom along which information can spre…

There are two very lonely trains departing from Stranraer and Kyle of Lochalsh

> it cannot have any ownership rights Actor network theory sheds a tear. And more promptly: ownership rights are enacted via tools . Whether agentful or non-agentic, listing them w…

Depends on what we value, I suppose; a depth-first style that surfaces isolated chains or a breadth-first style that surfaces interleaved replies.

Some authors may even choose to leave syntactical errors as a tell for those self-authored passages; long-term, some interesting language drifts may come of it.

Just as with redacted documents (consistently blocked terms) or bad OCR jobs (wrong or missing characters), even if only a certain percentage comes out unmangled it is more readabl…

Hence the cooldown period? I think the mechanism proposed here should be perfectly fine for targeted PRs, while mitigating those that sit above baseline.

The real unc is non-trendy so therefore new balances are non-unc, which makes them unc

Looking forward to using this[0] with Pluto instead of repl! (They just look so cool) [0]: https://github.com/JuliaPlots/UnicodePlots.jl

Single solutions/solutionistic approaches will likely be incompatible with either goal; consumer needs are always changing and collection capabilities expanding. Data scope and ret…

They'll only get you so far

I saved my desk from curb side collection. My chair idem. My laptop battery died two years ago so my desk cannot be too far away from a wall socket. Maybe one day I could face my d…

Observable Framework[0] attempted to fill this niche for a while as well, and we'll likely see some of the implementation details in the new Observable Notebook 2.0 format too. [0]…

- paged.js[0] heeds the slow crawl towards the CSS paged media module, eventually allowing some truly great page-setting DX out-of-the box which it currently polyfills. [0]: https:…

Maybe something more like a concordancer that provides valid or likely next phrase/prompt candidates. Think LancsBox[0]. [0]: https://lancsbox.lancs.ac.uk/

Think Xstate[0] machines are a little more intuitive than the conditional value structuring displayed here in the example, but it is an interesting idea indeed. [0]: https://github…

And still, we apologised ('I hope this find you well' and so on). It's cruft, it's slack, and it's social . We need some anchors to hang our message on. We know when it's necessary…
