@awesomekling Serious Matrix vibes.

hanging with my middle nephew (we are very cool 😎😎)

@ThePrimeagen And even then you could simply save pages from the browser.

@ThePrimeagen Reminiscent of using Teleport Pro about 22 years ago.

OCD trigger: in 2024 you still can't reorder the positions of columns in a Postgres table.

@diemkay @VivekxK Oh, he hated it right from the beginning. He was forced by his father (Iranian emigrant) into it who was a textbook example of an abusive parent. The book presents some of it in a humorous way but really by today's standards is terrible what he went through.

@webtoure @VivekxK Did he always hate playing and found himself in it because he didn’t fit anywhere else or or did he like it at first, but the business of tennis (tournaments, pressure, media, etc.) burned him out?

@diemkay @VivekxK Andre Agassi would be the exception I suppose. He confesses in his autobiography how much he hated tennis and yet he went and become a legend.

Feel old yet? Retweet if you know what is this

@scribu What is your opinion on ML if not AI as a whole? twitter.com/aallan/status/… IMHO the fact that AI/ML is turning into something accessible right now might have a much bigger impact.

Is the current optimism around AI similar to the nuclear optimism in the 1950s (the atomic age)?

@dvassallo A 14% reduction in time for a 4% increase in average heart rate. That's really cool. :)

Now under 25min 😅

First time I ran 3 miles in under 30 mins. 5 months ago, I couldn’t keep this pace for 5 mins.

@Sara_Imari But isn't technology just the expression of our own evolution? This means it is always conditioned by our current state but I wonder if we do in fact have a limit in terms of the ability to reach the threshold of understanding what is life.

Technology defines the boundaries of what we define life to be and when and where we recognize it

@scribu A very cool experiment and it makes a lot of sense too. It felt weird though that they eventually gave all of them three extra treats. Also this: In the unreliable condition, only 1 out of the 14 children (7.1%) waited the full 15 min; The salt of the earth.

Turns out impulsivity can be explained, at least in part, by a rational assessment of the stability of your environment. If you believe that the setting is unreliable, it just makes more sense to eat the one marshmallow now. Source: ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…

@aramh Of course, having a good structure in your code (among others good separation of concerns) doesn't mean anything by itself, bad algorithms and bad data structures invalidate everything.

@aramh I think I may be missing something because to me it seems that one is a precondition to the other. I can't imagine having a sound structure in the flow/logic of the code without having it properly structured in the first place.

What's important is not how the code is structured, but what is the structure produced by the code.

@lzsthw Apparently it flew over the head for a couple of folks the fact that you were being ironic. Wasting a whole day for such an elementary thing it's just sad (is there any non-toy app that doesn't need a calendar?).

You know you're a pro coder when you can implement a Calendar in ONE WHOLE DAY. Seriously, why is anyone having to do this? Every date/time lib should have a simple "make me a calendar grid for August 2021" and it just happens. Throw in "make me a clock" too.

@shivon youtube.com/watch?v=_dPlkF… I still remember when I saw this clip for the first time

The robots now have hawk-like head stabilization 😯

@scribu My belief is that everything is in the people. I think the solution would be fair salaries, coupled with real punishments for corruption and appropriate infrastructure with new management. I believe the quality of people in any system is affected by these factors.

@webtoure Having trustworthy state institutions would be great! The question is: how do you build that trust? How do you ensure it's not captured by special interests?

Eating less beef won't help the environment that much 🤦‍♂️ (it may still be a healthy choice, tho) youtube.com/watch?v=sGG-A8…

@scribu We tend to greatly diminish the role of the state, but in fact we are in dire need of impartial government agencies to function in the service of the citizens. A strong state is a state with strong institutions, institutions heavily funded from public sources.

@scribu If our parents lived without access to unfiltered sources of information, well we have a torrent of information that we do not have time to filter. It's worse for us because you realize how vulnerable we are to misinformation as individuals. (1)
