  • I wonder how many AI-relationships it actually takes to get 20% of a network to know one of them.

  • That’s why, in every new place I get, I strip naked and run around shouting GERONIMOOOO

  • I found that I do my morning exercise way more reliably than my afterwork exercise. I try to get 30 minutes in each session.

    The biggest game changer, however, was not working 8 hours a day anymore. It also helps to have a boss who’s fine with delays, so you can extend the morning session if you feel like it.

  • The browser can never know what information is needed for a certain use case. So it needs to be permissive in order to not break valid uses.

    For instance, your list does not include the things a user clicks on the website. But that’s exactly the info I needed to log recently. A user was complaining that dropdowns would close automatically. We quickly reached the assumption that something was sending two click events. In order to prove that, I started logging the users’ clicks. If there were two in the same millisecond, then it’s definitely not a bug but a hardware (or driver or OS or whatever) issue.

  • At least these ancient versions won’t try to update in the middle of a sea fight.

  • In this case the developer hasn’t designed this with the user in mind. Their rock is clearly too small for the user to sit on comfortably. Therefore it’s the dev’s fault.

  • TIL that the Higgs itself has mass.

  • On the contrary, websites are incredibly sandboxed. It’s damn near impossible to find out anything about the computer. Off the top of my head: Want to know where the file lives that the user just picked? Sure, it’s C:\fakepath\filename. Wanna check the color of a link to see if the user has visited the site before? No need to check. The answer will be ‘false’. Always.

  • First comment from the link:

    Every time you open LinkedIn in a Chrome-based browser, LinkedIn’s JavaScript executes a silent scan of your installed browser extensions. The scan probes for thousands of specific extensions by ID, collects the results, encrypts them, and transmits them to LinkedIn’s servers.

    That is very different from “searches their computer for installed software”

  • Yeah, I thought that, too. But to be fair, I can’t think of any missing feature.

  • If you have htop installed, run it in a terminal and click, for instance, the column headers.

  • “This isn’t a bazaar. We don’t haggle over deadlines. We professionally estimate them.”

  • So what? If you weren’t consulted when the deadline was set, it’s not your problem. Have some balls and rip your bosses a new one when they pull bullshit like this. “That deadline was unattainable when it was set. Had our team been consulted, we could’ve worked on a solution. But since sales went over our heads, this is their mess to clean up.”

  • Can a file really be split efficiently? And is reading from multiple files on the same disk really faster than scanning a single file from top to bottom?

  • (top-left corner:) Hexensküche 1971

    Riemann-Roch’scher Satz: der letzte Schrei: das Diagramm

    [the chart and doodles]

    ist kommutatif! [sic]

    Um dieser Aussage über f: X→Y einen approximativen Sinn zu geben, musste ich nahezu zwei Stunden lang die Geduld der Zuhörer missbrauchen. Schwartz [sic] auf weiss [sic] (in Srpinger’s Lecture Notes) nimmt’s wohl an die 400, 500 Seiten.

    Ein packendes Beispiel dafür, wie unser Wissens- und Entdeckungsdrang sich immer mehr in einem lebensentrückten logischen Delirium auslebt, während das Leben selbst auf tausendfache [not sure about that] Art zum Teufel geht – und mit endgültiger Vernichtung bedroht ist. Höchste Zeit, unsern Kurs zu ändern!

    I’m not sure if I can do the German idioms justice in English, but here’s an attempt at translating it:

    Hell’s kitchen 1971

    Riemann-Roch’s Theorem: the latest in-thing: The diagram

    [the chart and doodles]

    is commutative! In order to give any meaning to that statement about f: X→Y I had to abuse the audience’s patience for two hours. In written form (in Springer’s lecture notes) it takes about 400–500 pages.

    A stunning example how our curiosity has taken to enjoying itself in a logical delirium, disconnected from reality [literally: life], while life itself is going to hell a thousand times over – and is on the brink of its final annihilation. It’s about time we changed course!
