Correct parental examples are key to successfully training healthy habits, but phones are plenty addictive in their own right. It's not just a problem of bad parental examples. Why do you think the parents are addicted in the first place? Are children somehow immune? Hypocrisy is not the main thing here.
This doesn't match my experience. I'm glad your childhood was nice though.

You only remind me that I don't blog that often, it should turn 25 this year even though I didn't know the word blog back then and scraped the personal posts from it.

Blogging about programming languages and technology I find interesting... when I have the time and the energy for it, which sadly isn't that often.
Throw ups are different to tags but I still don't think that explains how graffiti is distinct from mural, unless you're trying to say all graffiti is unsanctioned, which... isn't really the case.
Python Uniswap Universal Router SDK New Version
V0.9.0 is out !! - The latest version of the (unofficial) Python wrapper for the Uniswap Universal Router has been released!
It depends on how "made" is defined. Does it mean designed, manufactured, or assembled? Probably the latter.
> You are, however, missing the point.

No, you are. You are making a lot of hay out of a simple, dumb, trivial technical flaw, which is easily fixed, and reading deep lessons and 'sadness' into it. It's not interesting at all (which is part of why I'm angry I have to waste so much of my life explaining to people why their character-based gotcha is actually uninformative and irrelevant).

It no more tells us anything about deep learning or human intelligence than would waving a piece of paper 'ABC is to XYZ as etc' in front of a blind person and them promptly failing the test, even if they are a skilled song writer. Duh! Of course they fail the test! They're blind. Their eyes don't let them see the individual characters, anymore than a BPE tokenization lets a LLM see individual characters. You would be a fool to conclude that 'blind humans are not actually intelligent, and yet, he wrote such good lyrics, isn't it sad that the parts of T.S. Eliot we cared about were just some sort of wiggling dog leg' on the basis of failure due to such an obvious mechanical perceptual flaw. Maybe blind people are less intelligent on average due to their handicap, sure, maybe human intelligence is in fact a sad dog leg wiggling around - both of those are entirely possible - but you need a different measurement and it should have been obvious to you and everyone else before you wasted your time waving the paper. The waving paper told you nothing of interest whatsoever.

You should probably specify the age group you're interested in. The experience was significantly different in the 80s, 90s, 00s, or later. And it's dramatically changing today with GPT-4.

I write about anything that can help frontend devs to use their skills in the whole stack. Lately, that's decentralization tech.

Wrote more frequently there in the past, but after a year of hobby blogging I transitioned into doing it as my main job and now I write mostly for other people's blogs.

This blog has changed my life. It landed me jobs, it made me become a writer without having to ask (all the book I’ve published so fare were on request of publishers because of my blog). I’m really happy to have all this history and I hope to keep it until my very last post. It is now part of my identity.

I think they're being downvoted for the meth comment. I agree with everything OP and you said, but the meth example is a bit hyperbolic - the downsides to meth consumption would surely be felt much sooner than any theoretical downsides of the protein mentioned in the article.
It sounds like there are significantly more. Time adds up.

Think of it this way. Megaladon existed for ~20 million years. If one died in this area every year, you would have 5.6 billion teeth

I have one. I wanted to like it, but it just lacked. The feedback on the large directional buttons is limited, the controller isn't terribly comfortable to hold, and the ABXY buttons are at quite an awkward position. The trackpad to play PC games was an interesting idea, but it just didn't work for me because it lacked precision or range.

My biggest issue is that the touchpad lack precision that a normal joystick would provide, and you need quite some force to push the directional buttons underneath the DPAD.

It wasn't a complete design failure. I do miss the button on the end of the triggers, that was a smart choice. I find the Deck paddles a lot harder to press than the ones on the Steam controller.

The deck took everything the Steam controller tried to do and just did it better. The trackpads is still there, including the force feedback, but it's no longer used in place of usual controls.

With these lessons learned, I think Valve will be able to design an awesome controller!
You'll get a lot further in life by assuming you don't understand than assuming others are trolling. Indeed, sometimes it's the only way to get information from data. In this case you don't seem to have understood the context in which the phrase in question is often uttered. The context is politics. Power dynamics. Changing the definitions of words to change what is possible to be expressed with language. Not the natural kind of language evolution that happens over generations due to misunderstandings or new inventions.
Good for them. I’m mostly interested in OSINT content, not so much war propaganda.

I agree. Since nowadays the disk space saving argument is almost irrelevant the only thing in favor of shared libraries seems to be the automatic improvement of all dependents with one update. But I think history has shown that this is a major source of incompatibilities and since Julia software is not really supposed to be running public facing services the security argument is moot anyways.
My top interview tip, and it's painful that I have to say this but so, so many candidates get it wrong, is "answer the actual question".

It is so frustrating when I word a question very specifically and the candidate doesn't answer it. Most commonly it's a question like "tell me about a time when you encountered a bug in production, how you discovered it and the steps to resolve it". And instead of answering the question, they tell me about what they _would_ do, if they _had_ found a bug. Or worse, they step me through some process that their company uses. I'm looking for personal experience, not what you read on a blog post once.

I also am mindful at the start of all of my interviews to tell the candidate I am not trying to trick them, I'm just trying to learn where they're at. So if I ask you for an experience you haven't had, that's totally fine - no one has done everything, we're just looking for the boundaries.

I took a similar approach building mailpace.com's marketing/landing site: https://blog.mailpace.com/blog/using-html-modules/

basically you just write in HTML, CSS and a wee bit of JS wherever you want it, and have a couple of tiny npm scripts that glue it together.

Put it on netlify, cloudflare, github, or wherever and it scales right up.

In comparison our blog is in Gatsby, and boy does that framework never seem to work right away when we start it up for adding a new post.
Nice and simple. What do you do to generate your changelog btw?
The easiest thing to do would be to just try it as long as your distro packages or otherwise manages the nvidia driver (which PopOS does). I don’t use desktop Linux anymore, but when I had a 2060 I dual-booted it with Arch (btw) and it worked fine except for the whole EGLStreams-instead-of-GBM-for-Wayland thing - and that’s since been resolved.
I don’t think it’s fair. It’s a Sun tool that Oracle inherited and never made an attempt to monetize.

I think big companies do constantly need to remind people of their brand with ads to preserve it. That's why you see Coca-Cola ads everywhere, despite everyone already knowing who they are and what they sell.
That's different, those are dead/killed teeth used to make a denture. I don't think they were trying to make them grow in George's gums.
Good point. In any case, there's a lot of slicing and dicing and hacking and slashing and stabbing going on.
Take it day by day! None of what I do was planned overnight. I just began incrementally incorporating new things in as I saw opportunities and potential commitment.
I have the 256GB version which has regular screen. Glare hasn't bothered me inside at all in the year and a half I've owned it. However, I have not played it outside - in the shade / twilight it may be OK depending on your personal threshold. In sunlight, forget about it :)

FWIW I've added a microSD card and it's fine. Updating the internal nVME is not on my radar, because the whole point of SteamDeck, for me and my personal use, is for it to be "play and forget", as opposed to a hobby in and of itself :). YMMV :-)
There's a joke that dynamically typed languages are just statically typed languages with one type: hashtable.
Only the bad takes. I've been meaning to make a podcast or something where I debunk bad orange site takes and explain why they are wrong.
> What would you do with one on a device where every app is heavily sandboxed and there's no common file system?

Access each app's sandbox to move/copy/exfiltrate the data contained there, for whatever reason the user desires. Not much different from the way file managers are used on traditional desktop systems.
I have one, but it's a pretty crappy LCD panel, OLED would be nicer.

That's right, it would have no internal experience. A giant deterministic calculator is just a mechanism that gives predictable outputs. It doesn't gain experience simply because it's superficially similar to a fruit fly or because it has so many transistors that we cannot count them.

If accurate simulation of a quatum system was possible within a deterministic 01 machine, we would have to declare that this is a dead world: a giant calculator that's moving gears in a deterministic manner.

A fruit fly does have internal experience, but its brains are based on a continuous system. With a deterministic machine we can approximate that continuous system with arbitrary, but finite, accuracy, and that approximation will be a dead calculator. Our computing paradigm - a deterministic turing machine - is simply unfit for replicating a continuous system, even though it can approximate it with sufficient (for science) precision. And yes, I believe that a quantum computer will be able to replicate a fruit fly well enough that we'll have to call that rwplica alive.

Edit. And let me address another dogma. A fruit fly, or a 10 neuron worm, doesn't exist in isolation like it's pictured in imagination of many computer scientists. The wave function is one for all particles, they all evolve as one intermingled system, so the moment you somehow isolate a fruit fly to make simulation tractable, it loses a good deal of what makes it a true fruit fly.

A site about the most effective techniques to improve your memory, intelligence, and effectiveness. Built with a custom software stack, want to put more time into it soon.

Selection of posts:

· Adults learn faster than children: challenging a discouraging myth that children are suited for learning more than adults. (https://wetware.engineering/adult-learning)

· A new curriculum: The topics we fail to emphasize in school. Was on HN front page for a bit. (https://wetware.engineering/curriculum)

· Everyday memory palaces: How to increase your memory by orders of magnitude, and apply that in daily life (https://wetware.engineering/memory-palaces)

· How to draw a 4D hypercube: Wrap your mind around higher dimensions. (https://wetware.engineering/hypercube)
Aside from the eugenics nature of it, this is an experiment we're gradually trying naturally.

High-SES people are having children at later ages and are mostly having children with each other. If there's selection effects to be reaped, we'll witness them.

But I suspect we won't, because not enough people die before these later childbearing ages to affect things much. Neither do a great enough fraction die before said later children reach adulthood, and high-SES children have prospects of reproducing affected less by loss of a parent, anyways.

Then you're obviously doing it wrong. Programming with passion, is an art unto itself.
If this implemented sharding it'd be killer. I recognize that'd be a huge amount of work, but that would be amazing! I may do that someday. You could just use one PG instance as the config servers and this takes place as the mongos.

I love your blog, and if i am not mistaken your capsule.
The two stage process using different skill sets reminds me of the old painting masters. Often the master would come up with the overall composition, which requires a lot of creativity and judgement of forms, apprentice painters would then come in and paint clothes, trees or whatever and then the master would finish off the critical details such as eyes, mouth and hands etc.

It makes sense to have different criteria of what good is for each stage
Yes. It's an incredibly useful tool that saves a lot of time and mental energy. It's wrong to use it without checking its output, but even with corrections required it is useful. Lately I used it to modify some AWK scripts since I'm not familiar with AWK, and from the changes made I was able to grok enough of how it works to make the changes I wanted.
I'm no paleontologist but I believe the megalodon continuously shed and replaced their teeth like modern sharks. Some extant species are known to replace all of their teeth on a monthly basis so if the megalodon replaced them that fast, a single shark would produce thousands of teeth a year. For over fifteen million years.

Due to their shape and density, they were also more likely to quickly sink into sediment and avoid decomposition entirely. Then when the Pacific plate interacted with the North American plate, all of that ocean sediment was lifted up to form California.

They're actually relatively uncommon on the west coast compared to the East coast (the Carolinas especially). Sharktooth hill has lots more fossils of seals, sea lions, turtles, birds, whales, and other marine life.

The error checking nature of compilers was never a real pain point. It's a question of if you want pain now or later.

I'm with you, but, there is no OSX pro. You buy a mac, you're done. My mother does not need a professional laptop, she needs a laptop. Why should people on paid non-professional laptops be actively sabotaged? Is this what professional should mean? What is the difference between a macbook, a macbook pro and a mac pro. You open them, everything is the same, except the pro models have more to offer in a way that is obvious to pros, and non pros (meaning non techies) wouldn't normally notice, it's not the non pro models that have to work against you to make you regret not forking out more.

Nice, it’s always interesting to discover blogging stacks.

Historically a blog requires a feed, this is typically where super minimal stacks stop, although I guess you could scrape your index.

I wonder how many web devs can still build a blogging app, a webshop, etc from first principles when mostly it’s all npm create packages and template languages.

I started a php / SQLite blogging stack with basic web based editing and a feed (ah and tagging, a search), hope to add more indie web features to it.

Ooh, I like this. Too many people start projects at the logical beginning. But what you really want early on in a project is to maximize speed of exploration of the interesting parts.

To me there's a clear analogy with startups. The naive conception of starting a company is that you get a pile of money so you can hire a bunch of people and create important infrastructure. But with startups, you're trying something new, so the most efficient use of time is to find the riskiest hypotheses and test them as directly as possible. That often involves doing things that seem wrong if you proceed in the "logical" way. E.g., I knew a successful UGC company that didn't implement accounts and logins until like 6 months in. But that was fine, because actual accounts were not needed to figure out whether the business worked.
Agreed. I feel like I'm always the first in my company to complain when someone proposes a too-thin or too-light font style or color, but this read fine for me. I'd move away from monospace if anything, but I take that as a stylistic choice they made even if it hurts readability a little (not like thin gray that's used without even noticing: the dev already knows what's written there, or doesn't care if it's lorem ipsum, and checks the font only for form instead of also for function).
