You know the Museum of Science in Boston has a bunch of these made in real life iirc for the World Fair in Chicago. They are so fun to see since there's a button you can toggle to activate them. My kid loves watching them go. For ref:

Any chance you can share any of your process? Super interesting to hear you use lean as a meta language, I'd be curious to see how you've harnessed this (as I'd like to do the same)!

Hard to see a world without modules as a means of compartmentalization for various reasons. You do have to appreciate the exercise what a world without them looks like / the implications.

You have to wonder if it is over engineering, or a resolution for something they've discovered from shipping so many phones. I wouldn't think of the camera as a security vector, but maybe Apple thinks it is?

If you don't have any of those alternatives in the first place. The Best Food Review Show Ever went to Egypt for a series and the authorities impounded their video equipment and wouldn't let the team access the equipment until the

The Harvard Art Museum also has a copy: https://harvardartmuseums.org/collections/object/203742 I don't think most folks realize there are a couple of copies in Boston!

One thing I really appreciate about your site is that you have a setup guide, with photos! This is really helpful for folks unfamiliar with how to run a spec. https://learntla.com/core/setup.html

Is there any way to do performance testing with TLA+? I always had the impression that TLA+ could help you validate the design of what you intend to build, but was less helpful if you wanted to see the performance implications of the design

Is Dgraph out of business? I still see their product website up?

As much as folks may be unhappy Adobe is taking over Figma, I'm sure the team over at Figma are elated. It's a successful exit for a much loved company and I'm sure the hard working team that built such a fantastic product ar

Likely worth a read for those that found this interesting is Russ Cox's article on dependencies, Our Software Dependency Problem, at https://research.swtch.com/deps . This post is a bit more detailed and balanced in my

Pre order was out in December, sounds like they are aiming to have the first keyboard drop in the summer. At least it was implied in their blog: https://kinesis-ergo.com/zmk-and-kinesis/

I can't wait until the new Kinesis Advantage 360 is out. I'm hoping it's much quieter than this iteration. https://kinesis-ergo.com/keyboards/advantage360/

Objective-C is such a small and concise language. It doesn't get in the way of development in quite the same way Swift can delay building out a feature due to bikeshedding.

It's always been incredible to me that Interface Builder dates back to NextStep, like that's all the way back to 1988! While I don't on the regular use IB, I've always appreciated how easy it is to hook things up and mov

I'd assume Tim has a different definition of what an app is than what you're thinking of.

The CEO lists several accomplishments in the press brief. It doesn't appear to say that he's being let go specifically for performance concerns.

Cool, but it's the lipid delivery system that is the secret sauce. This is equivalent to giving the source code without a compiler to build it.

It's an interesting consideration. This would be a great time for any lawyer to chime in. Personally I'd think it a matter of taste or etiquette. If I were a full time employee (FTE) at one company, working for another company wou

A tech employee is being paid for their work. The company assesses the employee's ability and dictates the level, which determines how much work they believe the employee can handle in a typical 40 work week. The balance a company hedg

A point to keep in mind, tasks does not necessarily equate to writing code. Think for example, writing a design doc, responding to email, or reviewing any kind of metrics. If this person was hired as a manager or a technical lead then the p

Disagreements on which company owns the IP generated by the employee might end up costing both companies more than the value the employee generates. Legal costs quite a bit. Another consideration, if this person is able to complete their wo
