If we realized tomorrow we had the speed of light slightly wrong, we wouldn't change the length of a meter, we would change the definition of the meter. We've redefined the meter thrice already.

I still dial my parents by number rather than using their contact largely to keep that memory fresh and flexed.

> So... do we restrict the meaning of the word "bug" only to the mismatched (developers') expectations, or do we extend it to cover bad expectations too? Good thoughts and framing, thank you for that. I think I'm in t

In video games, you're typically resting one hand on the mouse and the other on the keyboard fairly consistently. Going back and forth between the keyboard and the mouse is what's awful about bad interfaces in my opinion, not the

And the singular makes a huge difference there. If I'm a hundred meters away from a tourist site that I'm not overly interested in but can snatch a quick picture to send to friends? Well sure. I'd admit to that. I visited the

I first thought this was a tongue in cheek joke before I realized you were the original commenter and looked them up. I've described some prior experiences with some interviews as failing my litmus test and have cancelled further inter

I'm not sure why string level manipulations would be necessary in a structured data format to begin with. You'll update the URL using tooling regardless, so why not utilize the language for it at the expense of a little bit of ver

There are real infrastructural reasons it's harder to do in North America compared to Europe, but that's not it. Biking is relatively popular and definitely feasible within ten km or so from most city or town cores here in Scandin

I find the bridges to be rather brilliant, as they're distinctly European without being placeable (until Spijkenisse got feeling[1]). The least historical governmental buildings in Europe seems like an awful choice by contrast: They&#x

That sounds like an oligarchy. Especially if "great" is measured in dollars rather than public good.

Its history is also one of perseverance. Blender was never a runaway success story, but rather a matter of becoming a little better every day and eventually getting a recognition for that.

Microsoft controls NPM and GitHub. I would not put it past them to truly take over a project if they gauged it in their best interest (though it would be a massive violation of trust, so I'd imagine they'd tread carefully before g

It really bums me out that I fully believe this is it. Megacorps seize the demand for regulation (to regulate them) in order to write regulation that purportedly does that, but in practice mostly closes the doors behind them and cementing t

There's a C-suite of five people and a board of advisors I couldn't be bothered to count before their public beta for an AtProto instance. That just seems too heavy an operation for my taste. Seems prone to either infighting or ra
