That makes sense to me… You really only want one path for the air flow. E g. In through the front, over the components, and out the back.

Most of the fans in this setup are just fighting against each other.

Yeah, AI is a new twist here but the concept of misrepresenting images and stories for attention is ageless.

I still really miss Google Hangouts. It was integrated with Gmail as a web interface. The web and mobile app synced perfectly. You could use SMS/MMS, or chat, seamlessly in the same interface. Contacts worked correctly. SMS and chat history saved to Gmail so all the text was searchable. It was AMAZING and Google killed it for no reason, only to later replace it with inferior options.

Edit: oh yeah, you could also make phone calls, or group voice and video calls using the same app/web interface.

One person can do something, but one person can’t do everything. If you are already running a farm co-op, leading a union, or so on, you simply don’t have the time to address the hundred other things you can see in the news in a single day. The point still stands, you can’t control everything, so even if you are making change on one or two points, you have to avoid being angry about the hundred other things you cannot.

A party made up of a blind character, a deaf character, and a mute character. I’d play that.

I highly recommend the book Pandora’s Star by Peter Hamilton. They explore using tiny wormholes. They move them, poke a powerful sensor suite though, scan, retract, and close, gradually moving in on prospective planets. They have powerful forcefield to protect against anything coming in the other way. Makes sense to me.

I have a recursion joke. Re-read this for the punchline.

I have a programming joke, but if you’re not a fan of recursion, you might find it repetitive. Reread this joke to get the punchline.

I have a programming joke but nobody seems to get the reference.

For me. I don’t care about resolution after I’ve downloaded it. Heck, I don’t need to know the resolution before downloading, I can tell by the file size.

js’s JSON.stringify(obj, null, 2);

There are some fringe benefits for blockchain but massive issues with normal human issues like:

• Scams/theft: person has the wallet lost through scam or left, how do you invalidate the lost credentials or tickets.

• Wallet loss: loss through any number of means: fire, incompetence, computer being destroyed, loss of account to cloud backup etc

• Issuer need to invalidate: if tickets/credentials were purchased by fraud or an issue occurs where they need to invalidate

How does blockchain handle these common situations?

I really roll my eyes about the “dismantle the capitalist system because food costs money” memes. Like dude, dismantle it to what? Do you think no one starves when there’s no capitalism?

You guys drive? 💀 My rollerblades were only $200 and the ball bearings are in great shape.

Dude are you me? I literally just went through this. I used two profiles and had the memory issue. Couldn’t even take photos, the camera app said device was out of storage despite deleting most of my apps. And apps crashing all over the place.

The best part is… I’m traveling so it cost me half a day of vacation photos when I factory reset. And same as you… Will have to fix work 2FA on Monday.

What he hell were they thinking??

To be fair, this was ~12 years ago and the web has changed a lot since then. But being able to submit a form without js still seems reasonable to me… it also means you are doing proper backend validation. Something I’ve noticed newer devs sometimes have no concept of.

When I led a small dev team making an ecom site I pushed this approach to JavaScript–you should be able to create an account, manage your cart, and check out without JavaScript. All extras with JavaScript just enhance this functionality. Add to cart without leaving the page, a mini cart, client side validation.

Sadly with the rise of SPAs, this concept is totally out the window.

Great reads! Thanks for posting.

I think it would be neat if, as something gained popularity, more and more of it were re-written in optimized assembly. I mainly work in .NET, which performs fine for what it is, but there are some libraries like Dapper (which is a micro-ORM) which are written in IL, which is incredibly difficult to do but results in it being insanely fast compared to what you could do in purely managed .NET. I’m sure if it were written in assembly it would be an order of magnitude faster than that.

I would love it if every website change on Twitter/X didn’t result in endless “news articles”. I need to find a way to block this crap. I literally don’t care. Stop using X if you don’t like it. Done. Stop talking about it. This is worse than celebrity gossip.

In the description it uses “who is Tom Cruise’s mother?” Vs “who is Mary Lee South’s son?” As their example.
