I can't speak to the physics but I've done cold water dives, and if you prime your wetsuit with a thermos of hot water, that envelope of hot water stays in your suit for a surprisi…

I wrote a Ruby gem to address this problem of hiding sequential primary keys that uses a Feistel network to effectively shuffle int64 IDs: https://github.com/abevoelker/gfc64 So in…

It's really an indictment of how far HN has fallen to Redditification* that you see this kind of low-brow ignorance so prevalently and so often. Yes, the greedy doctors who are luc…

No they'll instead ruin your life for posting a Trump wrestling GIF on Reddit

He seems to do an annual "update" video from wherever he's at, about minutiae of whatever he's working on at the time. It used to be QuakeCon keynotes[1] when he was at id. [1]: ht…
