This was updated today, by removing old links. But that's not a good way to fix linkrot; it's better to keep the broken links, so people can look them up on the wayback machine if they wish.

You could do instant flood-fill on a slow PC in the early 90s. There is no need to precompute this. The possible issues are: 1. You're using a slow algorithm. This is almost certainly the case, looking at how slowly it run and at the o

WebGPU availability factoid is actually just statistical error. Noscript Georg, who lives in a cave and browses over 10 sites a day using Emacs, is not an outlier and should have been counted.

Is the waitlist FIFO or does it prioritize? For example, suppose a Googler signed up for the waitlist, and since they already have ~all Googlers on it, they won't get access before 2026. Could they get access faster by quitting their j

It may not cast a shadow directly on it, but the bridge still destroyed the mansion's utility. The alternative would have been to run the new east span south of the old one, instead of north. Apparently San Francisco preferred that opt

It wasn't a letter of the alphabet any more than the dollar sign, the pound sign, or punctuation were letters of the alphabet. It wasn't used in words. All that happened is that someone decided to put it at the end of the alphabet

Here's an egregious UX error in the Apple Weather app: when you look at the precipitation map, it animates the situation throughout the day, but the current time it's showing is only indicated by the cursor in a timeline at the bo

Not to detract from your general point, but are you sure your example corrupts memory? AsciiStrToUpper returns a std::string (it has to), which in your example becomes a temporary object. Temporaries are destructed at the end of the contain

How do you think a heavy fine works in practice? You tell the bike thief he needs to pay $1000. He doesn't pay. Then what? You garnish the wages from the regular job he doesn't have? (His actual job is bike thief.) You send bounty

If you put the bike thieves in jail, sure. And when your e-bike gets stolen, you may well think you want them in jail. But the next week, the New York Times writes an article about how there are too many non-violent offenders in jail and th

The grammar _is_ wrong. It should have been "We found the 'an' neuron in GPT-2". Given the article's contents, it's hard to believe that the authors would make such a mistake; it was probably done deliberately,

IMHO the insistence on below-market-rate quotas is counterproductive in terms of the actual housing market (though it's probably necessary in terms of political feasibility). The BMR housing is _already built_: there is plenty of old,

Overwatch launched in 2016 to critical and commercial acclaim. I would say the opposite, it's in the last few years that Blizzard seemed to really go off the rails.

I use the Concur app to scan receipts for travel expenses. It has a useful feature called "ExpenseIt" (maybe a company they acquired?) that parses the receipt photo, finds the expense amount, and automatically files it in the curr

Yeah, the notion that people are _choosing_ to be alone makes me laugh. I think I'm even worse off than you, since I don't like drinking alone.

I'm sure you mean well, or at least as well someone who wants to restructure society according to their current hobbyhorse can possibly mean. I like walkable urbanism myself. But the problem with this kind of argument is that people k

One thing that really doesn't help here is that Unix password entry traditionally hides the input text completely, instead of showing bullets. Normally you would notice pretty quickly if you're typing in the wrong place, since not
