Excellent interview with Bob on this book that's worth a listen: https://corecursive.com/032-bob-nystrom-on-building-an-inter...

I genuinely can't tell if you are being serious or not. Are you not familiar with Britain's and Ireland's "relationship"?

From a comment by the author: > Also, I can't justify why, but my gut feeling is that the database should be an order of magnitude faster than Python, provided the implementation w…

I'm super excited for this, but also scared. These little puzzles are such a dopamine hit that I can't really be productive until I have that day solved. As the month progresses an…

Reminds me of Cory Doctorow's last story in Radicalized: "Masque of the Red Death". summary from Wikipedia: A wealthy financier builds and manages a doomsday vault, designed to wit…

Everything Linus produces just blows me a way. Especially loved his C64 organ [0] and also maybe the only "cool" NFT I've ever seen [1] (basically the source code for the demo is e…

Econ PhDs are funded

Even if this does work, I'd imagine there is a pretty high selection bias. Therapy is work. Journalling is work. Changing is work and really takes commitment. Taking a pill isn't s…

Unauthorized cheese, anyone?

I mean isn't C ubiquitous enough that it is essentially language agnostic? Or is your suggestion that is should be purely pseudocode?

For myself, the one positive outcome has been more empathy for others. I do count that as a super power (that comes at a crippling cost)

Oh you didn't read the article?

Doing it only in Chrome? Having easy buttons for certain snippets? The author didn't make this to be a vim replacement. I don't think this would be a daily or main editor, but seem…

Nothing really. He addresses this in his post. But also the purpose isn't to sell the song (it's already creative commons). Purely just a commemorative token (and the only one he p…

Linus Akesson (big in the C64 demoscene) created the only good example of an NFT I've come across [1]. In the token he puts the source code to his "A Mind Is Born Demo" which compi…

Yeah I mean I unironically like doing this at times. Texture contrast is great!

Right, it's not something unique to corporations. It's a consequence of concentrated power

Not a shocker that corruption ruins things. I guess then the question is how you can design a broadly distributed system that removes the incentives for corruption and minimizes it…

Work. Meetings. Normal corporate hell

Really cool idea. Saved it to my home screen. Only thing is that is that the questions feel like roadblocks. For instance, last night I got 6 hours of sleep and it says I should co…

Actually nice to have in the background. Reminds me of a (sometimes poorly) translated book of Russian fairy tales my dad gave to me as a kid

Yeah you weren't kidding. "Heavy", to say the least

Surprised that Livraria Lello in Porto, Portugal wasn't mentioned. Absolutely stunning to visit: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Livraria_Lello
