This is awesome - well done!

I love ASCII/terminal games. The creativity involved with creating a graphical game in something that was only ever meant to display lines of text is super interesting to experienc…

This is truly incredible. I want to remind everyone about Blender's humble beginnings. Great work, I look forward to seeing your product pop back up as others discover it.

This article is awesome. I've always wondered why Chile is that shape and I didn't know about the Chilean dialect of Spanish being so far off from the others. Super cool.

Just saw this, not in the habit of checking back on comments (whoops). Casey Faris has been a huge help to me over the years: https://www.youtube.com/@CaseyFaris

I enjoy projects that push the limits of what we expect from terminals. However, as an end user, I would be highly annoyed at a terminal with effects like this. My favorite thing a…

Davinci Resolve is super powerful, even in its free version. Every project I have learned something new that it can do. Highly recommend.

This reminds me of Steven Pressfield's works. The professional does what they need to do to complete the work. Once the work is done, they being to allocate for the next one.

My team of SWE's is at an inflection point with how we handle database backfills. Think new fields on existing records across environments being populated by some conditional logic…

You could just not buy the kid an iPad… Bikes, dirt, legos, board games, books, all still exist. Despite what American consumerism would have you think, devices aren’t required to …

The point of peer review is not to debug others' code (sometimes it helps and that is welcome). The point of peer review is to ensure the change adheres to team standards - both te…

Thanks for the reply! I hope it didn't sound like I was insinuating that you did a bad job, I was just curious what concepts others would bring up in a discussion about your articl…

I am curious to learn what concepts we may have lost and not just abstracted away. Is the knowledge lost or niche? Is it necessary for programming in general or a subset of the pra…

I am very new to GPU programming in general and this article was a fun read. It's amazing how far we've come, prime example being able to train a simple "dog or cat" NN that easily…

I'm not defending this. It's not an argument, it's a fact. If you're not afraid of the idea, look it up. Part of the problem here is never bucking back against what we've been taug…

I'm glad you brought up the public education system. One is designed to instill knowledge and nurture young minds (public schools) while the other is designed to make sure you come…

This has nothing to do with "fake internet points" and everything to do with firsthand experience that most citizens lack completely. You chastise those that "appease the masses" b…

I agree with your one example and disagree with the thousands of others designed to profit off of incarcerated individuals instead of rehabilitate them.

My main concern exactly.

Yes, my introduction to the world of commercial software development was an internship at a company that built products for prisons. To be clear, I said "prisons...are for-profit e…

I said "prisons...are for-profit enterprises", not "prisons are privately owned". Government-owned prisons still rely on, and provide revenue to, companies specifically designed to…

Honestly, I am just surprised that the number is so low...

Prisons in the USA are for-profit enterprises that rely on a consistent population. They have no incentive to rehabilitate, in fact it's the opposite. What I don't understand is ho…

> I couldn't find anything that I felt comfortable recommending to him, so I pulled an all-nighter and made this. All-nighters for an employer are one thing, but I have fond memori…

Why maintain a perfectly good and profitable business when you could suck every possible resource dry and be the CEO that boosted profits by 3%? /s Silicon Valley, VC culture, Amer…
