- chrisbrandowIf so, presumably because it kills the weeds that feed the bugs.
- Herbicides kill plants, pesticides kill bugs, right?
- I’m not actually familiar with current state of scientific research. Are there any quality studies that contradict the ghost-written report?
I understand the valid reasons for pulling the study, but that does nothing to specifically address its claims or evidence.
- Try changing tabs when reviewing a PR. 5-10 seconds on basic PRs often
- Two things kicked in around mid 90’s:
1. Dropping levels of elemental lead in folks born 20 years earlier, so lower impulsivity. 2. “The internet”, leading to higher levels of homogenization of culture
- In app purchases from (crappy) games is top revenue source in App Store. Anecdotally, I’d be shocked if the majority of that wasn’t from kids using their parents’ phones.
- I wouldn’t expect that either given the little that I know about the rigorous software requirements for aviation.
But I assume that neither of us has anywhere near enough expertise to “refuse” to believe that any computer/software system could be used in dangerously absurd ways even accidentally.
- This was poignant. Thanks.
- This reads like one of the clearest intros to C that I have seen in a long time. Feels approachable the whole way through.
- the liquid glass video controls on iOS absolutely does obscure more of the content than the pre-26 players did and it's not even close. it's just UI chrome for its own sake
- it's not a change in webkit. the webpage just displays the current OS video player. i read the page in Sequoia and it shows the old version
- It reminds me also of the original head of development of the Safari browser talking about at least the early days of building the browser. They had a rule that no commit of code could cause the browser benchmarks to get slower. And apparently he was maniacal about the rule.
I don’t know if that’s a good or realistic rule for most projects, but I imagine for performant types of applications, that’s exactly what it takes to prevent eventual slowdown.
- Having seen the shuttle in person in LA museum, I was struck by how much it looked like a plane sitting on a flat heat shield surface
- Someone posted about a little Easter egg wherein the Next icon was buried somewhere in iPadOs but I’ve never been able to track it down since.
- I'm so glad someone documented this. it's been driving me crazy. I was just in a serious crunch mode for a couple of week, so all kinds of minor speed bumps in my workflow have become really evident to me. The UI transition between PR "tabs" has been one of the worst.
- There have been a lot of studies that show the correlation with lead up and down and varied by lead in different cities countries with different phaseout timelines.
Kevin drum and Rick Bevin both did a ton to lay this out systematically.
As leaving drum has noted, Lead is NOT the only contributor to crime, but it was the cause of the largest variations for most of the 20th century.
- Somebody once shared an Easter egg on an iPad, where they wrote a little code in the playground app and were able to pull up the next logo from the ROM, or something like that. I reproduced it at the time, but I’ve never been able to find a reference since. This was like 6 years ago or so
- Why?
- This really resonates for me. I have been thinking for sometime that it would be much more useful than scratch, if we could have a simple programming language with a simple canvas next to a text/console output, both of which were separate from the editor.
And ta da!! You’ve done it.
I really think this is wonderful.
- No one bothers going downtown much. Too much bother when they can just fire up Netflix.
