FYI: The linked video is Smarter Every Day dunking on NASA, Boeing, ULA, the pork barrel, and all that kind of stuff in-front of a bunch of big names in the space industry for arou…

Would you rather use a product that somebody treats as a vehicle to "Michelin star dinners, travelling, live music, skiing, etc.", or a product that somebody deeply cares about mor…

This is essentially what I replied to the comment with. Hard agree.

This, in my view, is quite a utilitarian (dare I say brutal) look on work and the world. You are technically correct, in the same way "following the letter of the law" can be techn…

This best describes my feeling.

I wouldn't expect such a sudden death from "business plan just didn't work out" though. Take Docker for example. Curious. Competition perhaps?

In a way I understand why, however I still am always perplexed when a "we are kaput" announcement drowns the message in praise for all the amazing super awesome they have done whil…

Not found one yet. The linked article contains a very small amount of detail, such as the lat-long coordinate values they found within the dissassembled code, etc., but not much el…

TL;DR: * Polish train maintenance company, SPS, was getting suspicious as trains made by a company, Newag, kept on "randomly" breaking and couldn't be fixed. They was getting fined…

Agree with writer, apart from a challenge on the "I get pestered at the office/on slack too much!": I see this complaint quite frequently about flows being disrupted due to office/…

Although LeetCode does have a strong algo slant, choosing the optimal data structure is almost always a key part in solving the problems. If you think leetcode-like problems is alw…

What is everybody's experiences of experimenting with Bun? Any success stories? Personally, I tried it during v1.0.3, and although it seemed to manage a `bun install`, it fell over…

Key take aways (for layman): * Previous studies have used charged antimatter like positrons and antiprotons, which they imply is kind of silly because the electromagnetic force is …

Interesting, this was almost word-for-word how I was explaining it to a non-space-nerd friend of mine. I'm still convinced that this theory, in a sort of occams razor way, is the m…

I used UTM extensively when creating an almost-no-touch tool for developers to setup their Macbook devices at the company I work for. There's really no other convenient way to do t…

I've recently spent a couple 5-9s throwing together a Node logger that's dead simple and extensible. My inspiration was winston [0]. Verba has some nice built-in behaviors that I'v…

I went down a bit of a rabbit-hole there. Apparently, the current belief is that the meaning is "If the eye is healthy, it functions as the light of the body and indicates that the…

Odd statement, as it is of course always the thinker that gets the attribution, i.e. the manipulator of tools and the interpreter of results. E.g.1: Galileo saw Jupiter , not The t…

Tin foil hat: Insurance companies Realistic: Doesn't earlier "treatment" of Parkinson's Disease yield better outcomes? I.e. dopamine supplements, etc.

> When copper oxide superconductors were discovered in 1986, researchers leapt to probe their properties. But nearly four decades later, there is still debate over the material’s s…

Hey Bryan! Liked what you have done. Big +1 for #1. A brilliant IC that has an impressive contribution history tells only a small fraction of the story. Skeletons may lay behind th…

From somebody who, perhaps sometimes can be quite full-on about software quality, craftsmanship, and just generally doing good, here's what's helped me in the past when faced with …

I've always assumed that greed, particularly when it's egregious and endemic, would more rapidly unwind a start-up. My OC was more focusing on those mechanisms that tend to be at p…
