Better off Ted was sadly canceled way too early. Part of me wishes a streaming service would pick it up for a revival, but I know the monkey's paw there would be that it would be subverted by precisely the sort of corporation it set ou

> “but then you are doing react wrong” My objection is not that they are doing React wrong, it’s that their complaint is incoherent because there is literally nothing about React that could make this task take an hour. React isn’t a form

If someone said "having taken many doses of basically just water in my life, I can tell you that homeopathy is not 'bunk'" would you find that to be a convincing argument?

Which Bell Labs? Are you still in the area? I’m minutes away from Murray Hill and a lot of what you’re saying resonates with me (~10 years into my career and starting to lean into what I previously thought was weird).

I’m quite late here, but if you want a diagram you can ask the LLM to output Mermaid syntax and then paste that into Excalidraw or something else that can render based on Mermaid.

ML is used extensively in business and I don’t see any indication that it’s fading. I don’t think I saw any real effort to put VR into business processes. Hype around AR has popped up and fizzled quickly a few times, but still no real push.

I agree. They show up, cop to it, and collect a memento mori that will hopefully help motivate improvement in the future. They have a lot of work to do to repair their reputation, and I don’t think they’re foolish enough to think that this

I’d like to strongly recommend “Project X: Cup Noodle,” a business manga (who knew! Wish more of these were translated) covering the story of the creation of Cup Noodle. Maybe read it while enjoying the titular product.

Not looking at an advertisement is not “being a leech.” I glance away from billboards, I refill my drink during commercial breaks, I show up when the movie starts instead of when the preview starts. These are normal behaviors, not leech beh

IIRC from reading Showstopper, NT was intended to afford that sort of different frontend swapping. It just happened that Windows became the primary focus in the end.

This is fairly standard for mature products. In the early days the whole production process is tightly integrated, but as components and processes mature there is less room for there to be some “secret sauce.” Once that happens it makes sen
