I think it'll become increasingly important to have folks thinking about how to explain new math in a way that makes sense to your math bachelors students. And to your bright AP Ca…

At least personally, parts of the differences for me are that the same instructions to a different CNC machine should produce the same product and that the machinist, presumably, c…

It sounds like you're also advocating for some form of permanent pragma that gets stored in the SQLite file and that the CLI will read and apply on startup? That way somebody can s…

I think that’s a feature. Not a bug.

I see where you're coming from, but I think it's less the fact that they _can_ use an LLM to do this and more that they can't guarantee anybody else has exercised equal diligence w…

From the flip side, 10 years in, I've been getting really into art. It's not cheap, but it's easier to do my job with the thought that I have art this week and next week and maybe …

guess that's why there aren't many comments here

An engraving pen on glass? Why not get some sheet glass and a stick of color. Write it directly onto the glass _in glass_

I used to work on bikes professionally, and this was the first place we went for help. Even today, it's one of the clearest resources out there

It isn't entirely that. Somewhat, sure. It's also managers who tell you you're being laid off, but good news, not for three months. And, oh, by the way, if you leave early no sever…

It's named 4.0.0-alpha1. Just add the 1 and the link works

You tell that to everybody with a glioblastoma. Go ahead, tell them the aggressive mass in their brain, the thing that shortened whatever potential life expectancy they had to, at …

Of course they're misleading. What did the doctor tell us when my mom was diagnosed? Don't do research, do not trust Dr. Google, Dr. Google lies. At best, Dr. Google is behind the …

And go see the demos! Or watch their YouTube channel!

Assuming you aren't looking for an exact millimeter-for-millimeter version of the spiral condenser, I bet you could find someone to make it in the US quite easily. It's still one o…

Ironically with glass itself, it's the ones that take less time that tend to be better. Especially any borosilicate glass with a hard edge

You might notice that this link isn't from Corning. It's from the Corning Museum of Glass' excellent library

Unfortunately seems to only be the case in aggregate

Narvar's tracking emails are mostly-image And on the one hand, it's cool as hell to see your email update itself to show tracking progress On the other hand, just send me a new ema…

Regarding your comment about the notion of semantic HTML - I think HTML lacks an easily found ground-up course or series or articles or whatnot about how you get there. MDN talks a…

There’s a lot of politics happening to us in real life right now too

I'll be honest, I think LAX's traffic is better than SFO's. It feels like there's a lot less spaghetti at LAX, the shortcuts are reasonable, and you don't have separate internation…

It's a fascinating edge case, but also feels like a silly choice of company name for this exact reason. What other systems are going to shut you out for your choice of company name…

we may be better off if tiktok shuts down in the US finding really good posters that you like is like finding a needle in a haystack

Or maybe, sometimes it's just flat out dull work. And it has to get done, you're the one with the capacity to do it, and you just have to grit your teeth and do it.
