How close are we to the birth and death of yavascript? https://www.destroyallsoftware.com/talks/the-birth-and-death...

And := not being = can really matter for variable shadowing. Absolutely insane syntax choice in a language where everything returns 2 values. At least do var:, err: =

I was expecting this https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/the-missile-knows-where-it-is

> What's great about this country is America started the tradition where the richest consumers buy essentially the same things as the poorest. You can be watching TV and see Coca-C…

Then you need a lawsuit to determine whether the law is “constitutional”.

The main value I get from sqlalchemy is parsing the result into useful structures. Getting the two models out of a join, prefetching related objects, etc. Though I much prefer rust…

I was taught that’s old American from before knives were cheap. Originally you’d pass the knife. Strange that the wiki implies you set the knife down after each cut.

This history was a surprisingly interesting read https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43667010

Steam OS might get a boost soon with their new hardware.

Huh. Just checked kagi and it’s the same. At least you can block sites manually.

Or “called them over by raising a hand” with “flagged down”.

As recently as the Silicon Valley tv show, the joke was that every startup pitch claimed they were “making the world a better place”.

Writing an email with AI and having the recipient summarize it with AI is basically all the fun of jpeg compression, but more bandwidth instead of less. https://m.youtube.com/watch…

The problem making a bear-proof trash can is that there's significant overlap between the smartest bears and the dumbest tourists.

I considered forking an MIT repo once but had no idea how to communicate which parts were under the original MIT license and which weren’t. Unless I copied it into each file and de…

Not to mention the (now experienced) graduates of really elite schools on the other side of the adversarial relationship, working for those financial institutions.

The market cares about dollar returned vs dollar-x-time invested. A shoe sits on a shelf until it is sold. If it costs 1.5 times as much to stock a store with shoes, then you need …

And yet we still enter zip code after the rest of the address.

Yes, 1d. But it's easier to go from a strip to a sheet to a block than trying to imagine an infinite block from scratch. The important part is that at any given point on the elasti…

Picture an infinitely long piece of elastic. Now stretch that elastic.
