These resources are amazing, thanks for sharing. The short-term realization of data portability was done in Streets of SimCity, which allowed you to import a SimCity 2000 file and …

Nothing, Forever was basically this idea applied to Seinfeld. The video quality was low, but some of the ways it captured the same absurdities as Seinfeld was remarkable at the tim…

It's already being done: https://openai.com/index/testing-ads-in-chatgpt/

I still use last.fm via Spotify. It is wild to see my entire listening history from 11th grade to present (20 years!). Always fun to poke through and see changes from one year or l…

"I've no idea why one would use gpt-oss-20b at Q8" - would you mind expanding on this comment? In that particular model family, the choices are 20B and 120B, so 20B higher quant fi…

Woke up to several notifications that should’ve gone to promotions/updates/social/etc. Frustrating.

Does it though? I mean I'm still teaching thread-safety and recursion to my interns... a solid foundation is a solid foundation.

This was a very well written retrospective on web development. Thank you for sharing!

The world of the Digital Humanities is a lot of fun (and one I've been a part of, teaching programming to Historians and Philosophers of Science!) It uses computation to provide ne…

They all can be done through Meetup - I think the point here is that multiple channels avoids vendor lock-in and increases the likelihood that a user will overlap with one of the 4…

The domain of Artificial Life is highly related and has had an ongoing conference series and journal going, might be worth mining for more inspiration: https://en.wikipedia.org/wik…

Signs that I've been reading too many retro-computing articles: I parsed the title as a browser for Windows 1.0!

DCA and IAD have their work-load shared due to regulatory action: > The Perimeter Rule is a federal regulation established in 1966 when jet aircraft began operating at Reagan Natio…

I updated my M2 MacBook Pro and the USB-C hub on my Dell U3219Q monitor no longer works... it's been a substantial disruption to my workflow with external peripherals and I don't h…

See my comment on the parent for a study I did on these questions regarding reading strategies. Of particular relevance, Darwin kept detailed records of the books he read and wishe…

This idea is very, very closely related to what I did for my PhD dissertation, with our analysis of Darwin's Readings being published in Cognition and available at https://arxiv.or…

Strange to say Apple doesn't have productivity tools when Pages, Sheets, and Keynote exist on every Mac. I get the scale arguments, but Handoff and iCloud integration are a sleeper…

There is a massive amount of history between the two companies, with Jobs being the largest individual shareholder of Disney due to the Pixar acquisition and Iger sitting on the bo…

Exactly. There is huge variability in how many cows can be supported by the land. For a deep dive, check out: https://www.farmbrite.com/post/how-many-cows-can-i-keep-per-...

This was the best feature of Indiana University’s Scheme-based curriculum - it leveled the playing field and caused us to start to think about programming not as engineering, but a…

Ironically, Dybvig uses vim.

Interestingly, Alexa was founded by Brewster Kahle, who founded the Internet Archive contemporaneously (both in 1996). Interesting flow of ideas between the two projects - one to f…

Unplug. Exercise. My only good research was done during the time when I was physically and mentally fit. There is a tendency (especially in CS programs) to think that more hours wi…

I really like your header. As someone that makes hiring decisions, starting by showing your curiosity and reasoning as clearly as the Linux example, then immediately casting your m…

I feel fortunate to have learned this lesson right before grad school… I used to run Gentoo with all kinds of optimization flags. The day of a conference deadline, I mucked up my /…
