I think the author is taking umbrage with DHH using the word "gypsies" where it might have been "junkies" or just "homeless". I see it in Berlin, rise of agressive, smelly begging …

don't say "apparat" when you can say "device". side note, when first transistor-based portable radios showed up (as opposed to large lamp-based stationary devices), they were calle…

I have no doubt those studies are run by some smart fellers.

What I am saying, is make another version of the function, which is explicitly not allowed to fail, if you want to use it in the loop.

If they're not going to handle the return values, they should change the function signature to reflect this aspirational contract, that that function "never fails". I see in the ar…

You lost me at "I have a function that has a value `x`". How does function "have" a value?

I find it strange that software people will accept this level of flakiness from the hardware. Normally you would just send the card back, and request a replacement. > One of the ca…

Yes. I kick myself that I did not get the 500gb model when getting was good. It was a massive price tag, but the hardware is NICE. And that MLX architecture really works. I run the…

Instead of "Reference counting primer" I would like to see a primer on how exactly such a huge change can go into Python without formal PIP process.

the billing alerts DO NOT help. you may rack many thousands of $$$ before you know it.

If you think you know what every acronym stands for, I recommend CBT.

try M. John Harrison - he has similar command of the word. His Kefahuchi Tract trilogy (Light, Nova Swing, Empty Space).

And the icons are too small. It's vaguely a mystery meat navigation.

HomeKit cooking your phone battery, period.

It is full of these short sentences that AI writing loves, sort of to feel "punchy". Normally you would copy-edit that stuff, join them up, have the writing have some rhythm. I agr…

> if they wanted to switch to pumping out destroyers, missiles and drones This is such a naive take. Nobody is coming to US to try to outgun you. The moment petrodollar wobbles, th…

That issue now is closed, probably as "not planned".

> The Feds added methanol to bootlegged hooch how did that work? did the Feds pose as some false flag bootleggers? do you have some sources I could read up on? thing is, russia has…

Oh, it's Mandala effect now? I could swear it was Mandela before.

Says who? Trillionaire capitalist overlords?

Read Tonsky for that. https://tonsky.me/blog/tahoe-icons/ a disgrace. https://tonsky.me/blog/tahoe-icons/writing_direction@2x.webp...

In 2010 I was paying 10 cents per kWh. In 2025 I am paying 36 cents per kWh. What ever happened in these 15 years, it is an absolute death spiral.
