@cosmictylxr What kind of camera these are taken on?

followed by these

This is easily the best picture of the shuttle program. Silhouette of the future.

Yeah I guess you got a point. I mean if you’re trying to become a world class mathematician that can win a Field’s Medal you need to start early or else you might not have a chance……. SIKE! Last person to win a field’s medal didn’t even major in math in college he majored in Journalism!!!! He didn’t start doing any real math until his *checks notes* 6th YEAR IN COLLEGE. You can literally GRIND your way to ANYTHING !!!!

@ATabarrok @tylercowen One can see that in Muslim world

In our textbook, Modern Principles @tylercowen and I liken this effect to dating: "Imagine how difficult it would be to get a date if every date required marriage? In the same way, it’s more difficult to find a job when every job requires a long-term commitment from the employer."

I like billion $ software failing on me. Had to italic some lines in WhatsApp. Its syntax is line oriented, but the editor is unaware of it. So it puts the markup only at two ends of selection, which doesn't make the lines be italic. One has to do it for individual lines. @Meta

@parmita any such readings you recommend?

I wish more successful people wrote recollections of all their failures and what they learned from each of them. The success was just the inevitable result of persisting through all the failures. As long as you only focus on the good times, people will think they can only become successful if they have your luck or perfection, instead of seeing that you’re as normal a person as them and therefore they can make it through their hard times and it can mean something incredible

@sudobunni @signalapp Tried many times, no result, they assume very strongly that they are saved form harm by big tech.

how can I convince my normie friends to use @signalapp instead of whatsapp??

@dhh Sheeps, as they think

So much organizational dysfunction is created by managers who desperately want magic thinking and general policies to relieve them from having tough conversations.

@teej_dv It should work even if it is broken into every keys

I BROKE MY SPLIT KEYBOARD INTO FOUR PIECES OH NO OH NO

@ThePrimeagen @thecto very much a virus

@thecto Microsoft The whole thing

name one consumer product that people hate, yet it’s successful. I’ll wait

@vaxryy HEARME

In wire protocols, the initial "hello" message is just a phrase the creator chose. For example, email uses HELO (yes, HELO), TCP uses SYN. Give me your most creative "I want to establish a connection" messages for a wire protocol to use.

@alabamaED @CropNetwork field crops for now - rice, maize, jute, cotton, mustard, soybean, sugarcane etc.

@arafleaf @CropNetwork It depends on what crops you are interested in

Soybean vein necrosis showing up in Alabama. The virus is spread mainly by soybean thrips. It is more common during drier summers late in season. A 3 year study suggested it was not a yield reducer in Alabama; more of a cosmetic disease @CropNetwork #Virus

@4ster_light sorry to say, not seeing any beauty

Rust is so damn beautiful

@ATinyGreenCell is this called economy at scale

People *really* underestimate the logistics involved in getting to this price point at scale, gigantic monstrous scale. It's so hard to farm at this level, and the margins are razor thin.

@dhh fight is needed against haters of mathematics

The EU Chat Control proposal would be a catastrophe for Europe. It would seal Europeans behind a new digital Berlin wall, cut off from Signal and other e2e messengers. It's embarrassing and dangerous that it's gotten this close already. Time to bail to back to sanity.

@signalapp hating mathematics goes this far

We are alarmed by reports that Germany is on the verge of a catastrophic about-face, reversing its longstanding and principled opposition to the EU’s Chat Control proposal which, if passed, could spell the end of the right to privacy in Europe. signal.org/blog/pdfs/germ…

@HSVSphere convince me to actually try nix

Nix without the drama at the cost of being unfree. But you can use the core nix tool without the Determinate parts and get a better experience than CppNix Just add the flake to your inputs & use the nix package from its outputs

@gdb "anybody who actually builds things, as opposed to just writing about them, knows you do no get a result this good without a constant process of iteration and refinement" - @Jonathan_Blow

iteration speed is a superpower

@krismicinski what's lisp then

It is so sad that people look at s expressions and see lisp. S expressions are dirt-simple to parse and manipulate, and you can give them any semantics you want
