I disagree with my sibling comment. The trick is beautiful. If you generate UUIDs such that each bit in the result can be reliably traced back to a single bit in the input, then you can take a substring of the UUID and use that to infer whi

If a planes jet engine gets close enough to the roof of the airport to burn this treated lumber, there’s bigger problems afoot.

I know two (educated and hard-working) people in my immediate circle who intentionally keep their income below $30k/year so they qualify for state healthcare programs that they couldn’t otherwise afford unless they were making upwards

I agree, but some people use social media to follow 1000s of other users. Some kind of “hot right now” or “high engagement since you last logged on” setting might be nice for them.

Nicely said. The way I think about it: if we can’t write legible and adaptable functions, then we have no chance at making viable systems. All the same engineering skills are at play, just on a different scale.

If you’re stupid enough to get depressed you don’t deserve to rot in bed all day. If you’re stupid enough to get sick you don’t deserve to go into debt. But I think that’s the difference between seeing gambling as an activity and an addicti

I after with you, but to be fair many cases of mild mental illness can be improved through regular journaling. Talking to a chat bot is probably not so far off

When I started working at Amazon in 2014 I had a number of coworkers from India and Taiwan whose dentists had convinced them that they needed professional teeth cleanings every 3 months. I didn’t say anything as I am not a dental expert, bu

In the remote era this is the only way that 2nd level managers can exert authority. In the office they have a nicer desk and eat lunch with a different crowd so you know they hold power. If it makes you feel any better the director is doing

The app is very clear when a time is based on gps vs the schedule. You can even watch the gps like you can on Uber. No one can predict the traffic but in my daily experience it is reliable to the minute

Nothing has changed for rich people who didn’t see their employees as people anyway. When you are the one stuck with a computer as your boss then tell me nothing has changed. Good luck getting a reference for a better job!

my layman viewpoint is that psychedelics make things that seemed immutable more…mutable. Everyone has some short list of things they are endlessly hung up on. Mushrooms might make you realize there are more viewpoints and more options. But

It hardly matters anymore. Probably at least half of all Americans live in a state or city that celebrates Indigenous Peoples Day instead of Columbus Day. Italians have secured their place in society.

Penroses theories about cognition smell like bunk and I only got a physics undergraduate degree. I’m glad he has found things to do in his old age but there are not a lot of physics departments jumping to put those theories to the test. Thi

To add another voice, lift even though it is annoying for 3 months, after that you will want to lift because you’ll notice how you feel (and look!) without it.

There’s certainly something to be said for the fact that shoplifting has entered the Overton window in the last few years. I see on tiktok probably weekly videos of people suggesting that shoplifting is not very serious, how to nick things

This paper is very enlightening, but I don’t think that an algorithms class should address these sorts of problems. When I went to school (15 years ago) We had a separate machine architecture class series that went over these sorts of pract
