I wonder how they came up with that. Was it a human idea, or did the AI stumble upon it? Given that it was inside a 9-step text preprocessing pipeline, it would be surprising if the AI had that much autonomy.

I've heard it described as the "exculpative voice".

I suspect that each player has a bowl of stones, and they have 1 lid that covers those bowls. After taking a turn, the player puts the lid over their own bowl so that the other player can easily see that its their turn. "Drive by"

You can have a monorepo with any tech stack you'd like. You can write your front-end and back-end in the same language. No shade to you for finding a productive setup, but Next.js tightly couples your front-end and back-end, no questio

I think you're conflating the coders with the code. I read the upthread comments as advocating against dedicated FE/BE coders, not against dedicated FE/BE code bases. Of course you want your embedded C separate from your CSS!

This is an hour long survey of the accumulated wisdom of a software developer who clearly cares a lot about the craft. I listened to it this morning while doing my stoutness exercises, and there's a lot of good wisdom here. I'll p

I also bought a house with an ice maker in the refrigerator. I can confirm that it gave us constant trouble until it gave up the ghost. I use ice cube trays in the freezer.

I switched (back) to Firefox a few years ago, and love it. My only complaint is that it forces me to restart the program occasionally, for updates. Does anyone know why this is done? Is it a technical necessity? Why can't I postpone it

I have been using nushell for work for about 4 months, ever since I inherited a windows-only project and was looking for a decent shell experience. I'm not doing any extensive scripting, but I do live in my terminal. I really like it d

Many years ago, I worked next door to a porn shop. A very similar law was passed in our town that would have required the shop to move out to the middle of nowhere. The owner bought a crate of enamel pins (this [1] kind of thing, but for lo

The abstract doesn't mention anything about grafting this to human skin. I believe the researchers are proposing a fungal substrate for PCBs.

I do, and I really value the time I spend at a cafe near my house. I go to the same cafe (and typically sit in the same spot) every workday for between 1 and 4 hours. It lets me have a bunch of loose acquaintances, both staff and other regu

I think that the author is speaking about their world, in which they regularly encounter a specific use of trigonometric functions which would be simplified (conceptually and computationally) by skipping the conversion from and into radians

I think the difference is that if Figma's website goes offline, you lose all of your figma stuff. If penpot gets acqui-killed, then you can just clone a version that you were comfortable with and keep going.

That's right, but "business process" is a much larger solution space than "texture shaders for video games."

Many summer camps require that you be available to retrieve your kid if e.g. they start showing Covid symptoms. I'd love to drop them off and forget about it, believe me.
