I’m not convinced of anything but brain dead takes like “he’s a conservative!” are not going to help identify his underlying motivations.

Not many conservatives care much about global warming, do they? Caring about the issue enough to start an electric car company seems like something a liberal might do, but he’s not that either. Dude literally started a company researching h

Everyone trying to understand Musk's motivations reminds me of the parable of the Blind Men and an Elephant [1]. Yes, he is engaging the right wing, including the reactionary factions, but that hardly makes him a conservative. [1] htt

This is cool. Being able to render SVG animations natively, without having to embed a browser, is awesome. The map of Paris rendered in 40ms on my M1 Air which is crazy considering it's a 14MB file with tons of overlapping shapes. I&#x

I’ll amend my previous statement and instead say that some people are being disingenuous and others are simply obtuse.

I’m personally not on team Trump or “Libs of TikTok” or whatever. If they were doxxing, then fuck them, too.

That’s obviously not the motivation of ElonJet. Again, disingenuous. If there was anything substantive about ElonJet, it would have been the statistics on jet fuel consumption, because that makes a statement about hypocrisy. They could have

Doxxing adds nothing to the conversation. It’s not an opinion, an argument, or an artful expression — forms that free speech laws are designed to protect. Rather, doxxing is merely harassment and adds nothing substantive. Same argument can

If that were the case, wouldn't it say "Account suspended" instead of "This account doesn’t exist"?

Is there anything like Blender Nodes, but for data modeling? It's an amazingly powerful system. [1] The learning curve is still fairly steep in terms of having to learn all the nodes and how they interact, but you can't make a syn

It’s “lying” in the same sense that stable diffusion draws an astronaut riding a unicorn.

Generally, I view people who push back as valuable, but the caveat is they have to be correct or at least providing a valuable alternative viewpoint. If they're not, and actually just being lazy, then collect some objective documentati

The strong do what they can, and the weak suffer what they must. Also, suffering can be a crucible for greatness. Hence, the story of the ascendant nerd.

Your last paragraph is a little ridiculous. Hindsight is 20/20. If you knew there was a recession coming, why didn’t you short the market and become rich? Nobody, including CEOs, knew for certain when the pandemic would end or how that

No, by “also” I was referring to cryptocurrency markets not the 30%.

by programmarchy 4y ago
NASDAQ is also down 30%. Crypto was down before the whole FTX scandal, too, so that doesn't explain everything.

I'd much prefer apps use Dock menus, like the HIG suggests. [1] There are very few apps that need to be permanently in the menubar. Plus, the Dock offers a much more high fidelity icon to represent your app. Seems like a win-win for us

The FDA has approved all of the growth hormones currently in use. [1] So how is that any worse than growing the entire thing in a lab? If anything lab-grown meat is a more extreme version biological engineering. [1] https://www.f

Dude, hell no. This is an incredibly entitled outlook. You don't get to check out and look at your phone while your children or grandchildren want your attention. As an elder, you're expected to invest your time and wisdom into th

Looks slick and feels super fast. One thing I like about Linear is having multiple accounts/workspaces and easily switching between them. As someone who manages multiple Gmail accounts and projects, this would be a nice feature. Totall

Moral of the story is that sometimes social engineering is much cheaper and more effective than software engineering!

I’ve done a bit of PDF wrangling in Python, so figured I’d describe the lay of the land. PyPDF [1] is great for reading and writing PDF files, especially dealing with pages, but it’s not great for generating paths, shapes, graphics, etc. Ho

Willing to bet there’s more to this story. From the article: > Heather Wallace's oldest son, eight-year-old Aiden, was driving his two brothers crazy in the car as they all returned from karate one afternoon in October 2021. Wallace

Yes, and I also know the difference between a request from an end user client and a server-to-server RPC which was referenced in Musk’s tweet. The Android engineer is confusing the two, and so are you apparently.

So, are there 1,000 RPCs needed to render the timeline or not? The Android engineer didn't seem to know the difference between an RPC and a request from an end user client. The former timeline engineer disabled public responses to his

Was it ever the main storyline? Clean energy isn't sexy compared to the low rumble of a gas-powered V8. Heck, even "safe" cars aren't sexy. "My car has the highest NHTSA rating, m'lady!" But fast cars are
