As someone ignorant to the Quran, can you explain how this functions as a checksum? Are you theorizing that scholars knew this fact and used it to, say, aid memorization? I’ve heard of similar mnemonic devices in oral traditions, but I’m no

I recently tried the freelancing thing for a couple years, and I’m not sure about this as general advice for experienced engineers. I found it difficult to find gigs paying similar to what I had been making as a FTE, and I found it stressfu

This comment reminded me of "A Thousand Brains: A New Theory of Intelligence" by Jeff Hawkins, which explores this. To Hawkins, the brain's relatively fast evolution implies there's a general-purpose "compute"

About spilling to disk, in DuckDB’s docs I see: > Both persistent and in-memory databases use spilling to disk to facilitate larger-than-memory workloads (i.e., out-of-core-processing). I don’t have personal experience with it though. h

Interesting, how can I learn more about this?

setTimeout takes a duration in ms, not a timestamp. If it did take a timestamp, I think you would need to pass it a timezone to disambiguate. Maybe a better argument is, “when you’re setting a phone alarm, you don’t tell it a timezone.” May

Wow, that seems like a huge security risk for Google that people can create phishing sites on their auth domain. I don’t think Google Forms allows login forms, but I’m surprised Google Sites would offer hosting on the primary Google domain.

You might look into MIDI devices, since there are programs to convert MIDI events to keystrokes. For hardware, this seems kind of like what you’re looking for: https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/SamplePadPro--

But isn’t a “cell” composed of infinitely many cells on infinitely many levels? So changing a “cell” should change all cells on all lower levels, not just the visible level.

I always read through my entire diff in the PR preview (on GitHub, say) before submitting, and I find I catch many things this way (typos, small todos, small factoring improvements). I get feedback that my PRs are very polished, and I think

Not really what you asked, but there are lots of tools for markdown to HTML, and lots of HTML parsers.

20 years ago, I got into programming by writing little VBScript extensions for my StarCraft clan’s bot on battle.net. It was primitive, but such a fun and social way to get into programming!

My imposter syndrome basically disappeared when I started onboarding newer coworkers. It exposed me to _other_ people’s knowledge gaps, and made me realize how many things I actually knew and understood.

I work 3 days/week, which comes out to $130k annually at my current rate. 9 years of experience. I was working full-time making $325k, and I decided I wanted to trade comp for flexibility and free time. I’m now a self-employed contract

I don’t understand this absolute opposition to customization. What would you do instead?

I loved this book, but I only recommend it if you’re reading on a Kindle or similar. There was so much jargon and technical words that I had to look up the definitions of.

My hunch is that we’ll eventually realize that we never cared about intelligence in the first place, just “human-ness”. After all, there’s very low moral concern for cows, pigs, dolphins, etc regardless of intelligence.

Are you confident that an audit would have uncovered this bug? I’d be surprised if audits are effective at finding subtle bugs and race conditions, but I could be wrong.

Can you share what helped it click? I’m in the same boat, trying to understand it through analogies.

“Arguably” seems right. It’s definitely not obvious from the data points in that chart…

I just took 6 months off and recently found a contract for 3 days/week. It wasn’t that hard for me. Companies didn’t blink an eye when I mentioned a break due to burnout. I’m a 30yo software engineer in the US. I think I do have more r
