The descriptions of the problems make it sound a little like algorithmic puzzles but your only tool is Excel instead of some programming language… Excel is pretty amazing in what you can do; I’ve regretted having to use Google Sheets for th

OpenSCAD is great! I used it to create a bunch of things to cut on a CNC router over the years. Best achievements were a scale model of Mount Rainier and some one-piece picture frames with text cut into them.

Recently I’ve had the best results with Gemini; with this I’ll have to go back to Codex for my next project. It takes time to get a feel for the capabilities of a model it’s sort of tedious having new ones come out so frequently.

C#'s runtime (dotnet runtime) adds overhead compared to Rust with GC and other stuff too. This is true even with single-binary AOT compilation, the runtime is still there (just like Go). So it will never be suitable for some scenarios.

This isn't true at all anymore for years! Microsoft acknowledged Linux won for server-side and since C# is primarily used as a server-side language they made everything work incredibly well on Linux.

This one is an apt pick. I only worry it’s early and the true wave of slop is not yet upon us.

I can’t handle the swipe up to switch apps gesture with reduced motion it becomes too jarring. I set the glass to “tinted” and that’s about it. I wish they had a stronger disablement of just the glass.

This is great! I’m going to try the melting carnauba wax in tung oil one. I tried pure tung but it’s too matte for what I want.

I love unstyled UI components since you get complete visual control but accessibility still works and that's so easy to screw up and not notice it's broken. I've used Tailwind headless UI ( https://headlessui.com&#x

When a data tree is tightly coupled (like a complex sample of nested data with some arrays from a sensor) and the entire tree is treated like a single thing by writes, the JSON column just keeps things easier. Reads can be accelerated with

This is the typical practice for most index types in SingleStore as well except with the Multi-Value Hash Index which is defined over a JSON or BSON path

I don't and have never gone very often, but it's a lot of fun to see certain films in enormous theaters like IMAX. I will definitely see the Project Hail Mary film that way. And my kids still like to go, and I know people who go a

You can run the compiler with a flag that shows all the escapes with -gcflags “-m” and there’s also support in goland and vscode to show the escapes as inline annotations in the editor. This sort of thing IMO is one of the useful things abo

It is handled on the Unlurker front page (you will see a little note that says “time adjusted for second chance”). The replay doesn’t do any adjustment for it, but I think that makes it reflect the reality of when the comments came in since

It's fun to read some of these historic comments! A while back I wrote a replay system to better capture how discussions evolved at the time of these historic threads. Here's Karpathy's list from his graded articles, in the r

Sounds like a step in the right direction. I would like to see an all-up dashboard of everything in the shared state, and good control over upgrades (maybe a mode where in-progress functions can complete on version 1, even if new functions

The distributed state associated with workflow systems like this makes observability and code upgrades a challenge compared to just having an application orchestrating workflows with progress persisted in a shared database. But if they solv

If you like this sort of content, I recently found Sandy Petersen (Call of Cthulu, Doom, Age of Empire, Halo) is extremely active on X. Lots of interesting tidbits about game design https://x.com/SandyofCthulhu

What is the air quality like to actually breathe in your experience? I have noticed Jakarta on lists of poor AQI and it doesn't look great [1] but I think the AQI number is kind of an abstraction. [1] https://www.aqi.in&#x2F

Two 28" Samsung 4K monitors from Costco from ~6 years ago. I like having two, because you can dock/organize windows more cleanly than with one giant monitor.

"In fact, the existing legal structure largely protects Valve’s ability to engage in this sort of digital market manipulation. Players and investors were simply out of luck." Whew, as it should be. This is a game, and I'm hap
