This is how I learned lisp. I then went on to learn Clojure and built a career around it.

I'm late to the game but this question has been bouncing around in my head and I wanted to give my opinion as a sports fan. I also coach my son's soccer team so to be clear, I have…

We're at the top of the S-curve and you're romanticizing diminishing returns with vague hints of super human capabilities and singularities.

Nostalgia aside... these things aren't really that great and are overpriced for what they are. TI sustains itself on basically extorting high schools and colleges to use that.. bec…

IN MICE should be added to this title

Oh I have some other common phrases I've been collecting! "to be honest" "...the thing..." "I mean.." "Yah yah yah" people say this rapidly. It seems rude and dismissive to me so I…

Computing has made intimate sexual relationships worse. Dating apps are skewed: men receive little attention while women have an overwhelming amount of attention. Porn satisfies ou…

Also, no one knows how to make a Pizza! (great book for kids)

It might have been more like C&H or Far Side at one time, but by the time of the 80s when I first started reading the funny pages, Peanuts was just another mundane strip.

So funny how people think this is a moral crusade. You should read articles around the tech stack for payment processing at any adult site. People try to do chargebacks all of the …

One of my favorite visualizations of the scale of the solar system is from Stephen Hawking's Genius. https://mass.pbslearningmedia.org/resource/hawking_genius_ep... It's a hands-on…

This is cool! I made a similar app, but for guitar. However, I couldn't quite figure out how long I should sample. I wanted to make an app where it will play an interval and then y…

"tough love" versions of responses can clean them up some.

This is the first filter on the incoming mass layoffs.

Nice work! Would be cool to have a plugin system that could allow for interfacing with other DBs like sqlite etc.

In the US, we've essentially banned swimming outside of a few lifeguard-monitored zones. There are no swimming signs everywhere and in places you wouldn't otherwise think should be…

This is actually a very good point. The family I visited travel 1hr+ to get healthcare services because the local ones are pretty bad. They're not elderly per se, only a few years …

A NES emulator in Typescript targeting the browser. I've been using the Messenger emulator with cycle-accurate emulation to hone it. This stems from my interest in low-level machin…
