The systems people are just nodding

AC is a fairly nuanced problem, and I like to see evaporative cooling getting an update. Obviously there is a chemical component here but for a ton of climates evaporative cooling …

Great question and great article. This is an "old Internet" vibe for me

I don't understand how people go through the effort of writing an article about containers but start out with a basic incorrect statement. They don't disconnect from the OS, and in…

This kind of intuition is why a high school level statistics or probability class seems so so valuable. I know not everyone will use the math per se, but the concepts apply to ever…

I have been this person and I'm trying to move away from it. It really is a great skill to enjoy lifting others and to be the glue of a team. But there are multiple slippery slopes…

Seems like it wasn't writing and giving away the tool but running it as a service? I don't know the facts here, was it OSS as well a service?

OpenAI has shown that these models at full power work great, so now they're trying to optimize for cost. I've gotten similar low accuracy responses from stuff it could handle a mon…

Pretty cool, but it acts more like a dense gas than water. Very bouncy and not sticky enough

This is not good. Some of the time stuff is relevant if you're digging deep into it, but it's more like "uncomfortable truths we ignore for sanity." They're mostly edge cases that …

This guy is like an actual billionaire. I have no idea if his fraud extends to the actual drugs he's made money from, but I wish these kinds of people were held to higher standards…

Sounds like a simple layer that can be retrofitted easily, but "there's nothing to hack" is absurd. The truth is that car security is bad, and any killswitch at all is something th…

Anyone else notice the animated header image? That's a flex

Most of this post is trying to declare rules that just aren't true. Even Asana will deep link a modal, it's just another piece of state in the url

This is an unhelpful oversimplification. There are lots of tasks that are maintenance, and the more code your team has written the more these tasks build up. I don't know what moti…

Pretty sweet paper. First time the clickbait title actually turned out to be accurate

I didn't even think about it, I just closed it and went to the comments

I work in web, and one guy did this for two modules in a non-critical server, just TWO before I flat out told him to stop. "What does X mean" was a common question across people wh…

Anil dash is one of those tech bros that just says shit to create content and it has no basis in experience or research, just a weak amalgamation of thoughts. This article vaguely …

This is amazing, love it!!

2100 people will fall for this. We're living in a sitcom

It's pathetic that regulators haven't stopped this nonsense. These scams don't even last 6 months anymore, it's a joke

lol, that's cause it's mostly for mail coming from your server. You probably don't see any of it
