- It's more amusing when they call it "vegan leather".
- "What costs more to ship, a ton of feathers or a ton of bricks?"
- Universal Time, Coordinated.
- "by contracting the muscles"
- Looking at all he has done, I don't think he means "complex" when he says "clever". He's not advocating for (and most likely against) the architecture-astronautism of overengineering that some people seem to be associating with "clever" here.
He means code that appears indecipherable at first glance, but then once you see how it works, you're enlightened. Simple and efficient code can be "clever".
- Unfortunately this means, my website could only be seen if you enable javascript in your browser.
Or have a web-proxy that matches on the pattern and extracts the cookie automatically. ;-)
- Each access creates a new zip file on disk which is never cleaned up.
That sounds like a bug.
- I'm not sure if it even knows it's being honked at.

This article can be summarised in one word: learning. I've noticed over the years that there seems to be a growing divide amongst programmers, between those who believe in learning, and those who don't (and actively try to avoid it); unfortunately the latter has become a majority position, but I still try to show others this article when they don't understand code that I've written and would rather I stoop to their level.
A look around the site at what else he has accomplished, should be enough evidence that he isn't just a charlatan, unlike some others who have made a consulting career out of spouting pompous hot air about methodology.
- In other words they've just privatised the mail service.
- Unfortunately the EU has no 2nd Amendment, or they could go the route of classifying encryption as a munition.
- Prompting an AI and then filtering the results is a "human choice".
- Windows used to be like that too, when MS was more focused on being hostile to the competition than its own customers.
- I suspect it's gradual cost-cutting. At the manufacturing scales they're operating with, even one keyswitch adds up.
- From what I know, SDFs were popularised by the demoscene; it's interesting that they've now found more practical applications as a result.
- Along with a bunch of other, arguably far more famous people.
- Music files (releasing in order of popularity)
Increasing or decreasing? IMHO increasing would make more sense, as the most popular music is already mirrored in countless other places. It's the rare stuff that is most in need of preservation.
I wonder how much of the content there is AI-generated. Honestly, even as someone who was initially skeptical, I've found some of it to be rather good --- not knowing that it was AI-generated at first. Now if they could only reverse-engineer the prompt and only store the model, that would be an extremely efficient form of "compression".
- You made me imagine an alternate universe where there is a Jeffrey programming language and the man is named Java Epstein.
- <some sentence ending in an exclamation point!> <"let me know if you'd like"...> is a stereotypical ChatGPT response.
...and this gives them more control, so they can profit from it. Corporate greed knows no bounds.
I'm glad that modern computers are more secure than they have been
I'm not. Back when malware was more prevalent among the lower class, there was also far more freedom and interoperability.
