Coding is a tool to solve a problem, but, to many it is also a culture. It has a history, it has connections, it has lore, it had some loosely commonly held values, and yes it absolutely was a craft. It’s okay for people to mourn that. It’s

Would someone mind explaining the technical aspect here? I feel with modern compute and OS paradigms I can’t appreciate this. But even now I know that feeling when you crack it and the thrill of getting the imposible to work. It’s on all of

There’s a lot of good advice here, and everyone I know is different about how to overcome executive functioning issues. But one bit I’ll add: ADHD can be incredibly lonely. Not even in ways you are aware of until you are older. It’s easy to

When I first used Rust, I was using failure and it just made sense to me. And then we got the 2nd (3rd?) wave of error libraries and nothing has ever made simple sense to me since. Never saw this link and it’s wonderful, it’s exactly how I

In all my undergrad and graduate level Physics, I don't think I ever used the value of R. The answer has nothing to do with the numerical value--that you can google. It has to do with knowing how to solve the problem. Though having a g

The occlusion would need scans form the phone which I can think of one company that can do it fast, then you need to figure out where in the world the user is if you want to occlude using buildings, etc. I know of one company doing that. Ne

One incredible use is actually in network training for things like AR and autonomous driving. You want a slightly fake world and you could easily try out various network approaches using a free fake world found in game engines. Microsoft ha

Recently been working on a rails app and been forced to use nano for editing one a remote server and it's now that I really see the niceness of YAML. I always like YAML with ruby but I think a lot of the great features are subtle and h

This is super fantastic. Well written and just the right amount of approachfulness and wit. Sometimes articles about things like this go too far into metaphor and lose the reader. I'd recommment going over fn mv_mutable(mut a : M

I’m no airplane expert but I find the trend lines of the industry interesting and one trend has been how fuel prices and long lead times on fuel efficiency has lead to formerly continental planes now flying intercontinental. AirBus has real

I love all of Rust’s documentation it has really been great to see as I learn the language. I can pick up a language easy enough but to pick up a language’s specific idioms is really hard without examples and this resource is great for that

Using apps that support Open In Place has been magical. I now use my iPad 24/7. Terminus is really great and although I was hesitant to spend money at first I just think the app is so well made. Mix that with Working Copy and it’s so e

Certainly birds might not adapt to be less sensitive. I certainly would hope that research will be done to check how the type of EM pollution will affect nature. It might not but it also might over time.

I mean congrats to the team, but I’m really not sure there’s much scientific use in this mission. Don’t get me wrong, there is tremendous engineering and propagandist value that could lead to other high-value missions like mars etc but the

iOS does not involve sending your source code. This involves ensuring your app runs in their Hardened Runtime and is properly signed. Apple checks that there is no Malware.

It’s possible it’s because of Gurman (the author). Mark Gurman was a big Apple journo and has great sources. Bloomberg scooped him up and he’s been at the front of big Apple rumors and Bloomberg has risen because of them. Especially after M

You're making me miss my hometown. Everything there is just amazing, I love the city and the people in it. The people are so kind and the transportation is stellar, and you can listen to Fred & Angi on your way to work.

I work in a mapping related field and I’ll be honest I’ve never considered that part of navigation. That’s a really interesting idea for making navigation better. Taking into account elevation and quality of road.

I write a lot of command line tools for work and need configuration files and always go for YAML, but am never happy about it. I use it because it serializes to Ruby objects so I can more easily do validation and check if someone forgot an

This is literally the same argument of the tweet's first poster (to which the linked tweet is a reply). This is just simply not true. I know many people who make mail apps for some big big companies. They have CS degrees and would admi
