It seems like somewhere in there he could have explained the acronym.

If I worked for PayPal right now I'd be printing résumés. Stripe recently laid off 300 of their IT people. To paraphrase Petey Greene, I wouldn't trust them to wash my car.

That's a perfectly valid reason. I tried AoC out one year with the Wolfram language, which sounds insane now, but back then it was just a "seemed like the thing to do at the time" and I'm glad I did it.

Stumbling across this over a week later, and yes, the clock is correct now.

LinkedIn is by far the worst offender in post previews. The doctype tag must be all lowercase. The HTML document must be well-formed (the meta tags must be in an explicit <head> block, for example). You must have OG meta tags for url,

What's up with the clock? Mine was two minutes off of local system time.

Neat, this is the first project I've seen in the wild that uses astro.

You're calling frameworks with two day old commits critical and terminal? As Mark Twain would say, reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated.

This brings back memories. I developed the "JoTrivia" mIRC script back around 2000/2001 as a way to kill time when I worked nighttime tech support and got maybe two calls a night. The scripting language syntax was completely

It was one of my favorites back in the 1980s. It was a followup to Gödel Escher Bach, written in much the same style.

I never thought of this before now, but tech from 1977 might not even be using ASCII.

This reminds me of Vi Hart's hyperbolic dress. It's not too similar to the knit dress here, just vaguely mathy + clothing.

Pufftygraph [1] I wrote a Spirograph clone that worked on an iPhone as a Christmas present for my 6 year old, mainly because back then I couldn't find any existing clones where you could drag the gears around to draw, and I thought it

I worked under a blind manager when the iPhone first came out. He was a former dev before his vision started to go. He was a power user while blind, and knew twice as many hot keys as I did, had his screen reader speed cranked up to a rate

Modem manufacturers were between a rock and a hard place back then. It was already expensive to have hardware chips that supported every available connection protocol, and the extra horsepower you needed to support, say, BTLZ error correcti

This style of writing feels a lot like the sections of Gödel Escher Bach that had the tortoise and Achilles dialogues. Anyway, I’m 52 and have been typing daily at tech jobs since 1995. I had a run-in with RSI around 2000, and tried ergonom

BVO has other consequences not mentioned in this article. I consumed Mountain Dew daily from ages 15 - 35, and quit cold-turkey after I learned about BVO's link to memory loss, since I had started to struggle with remembering words I d

I'd like to see a collection of pronunciation blind-spots, where people mispronounce words in the same way. E.g., the extra "ar" syllable we put in "narrator", and Ohioans who pronounce Bellefontaine as "bell-f

I'm glad the article had a plot of the bird's path. It looks almost like a hypotrochoid that you could draw with a Spirograph set.

It's nice to see just how popular Hilbert curves are. For me it touches the same nerve that Conway's Game of Life does. I threw together a hacky demo of the Hilbert curve and some other l-system curve for a middle school computer

Off topic, but Laser Blast was a great 2600 game. The ground stayed "hot" after you shot it, so a near miss could be a kill if the enemy rolled into the hot zone. The controls were modal - you could move your ship around with the

Novice level posts are great. Someone found something exciting to them, not new to us, but we should encourage them to keep exploring and writing.
