Top notch content. Right up there with his popcorn button on the microwave video.

Didn't say it was offensive. Just pointing out that you are, in fact, using a lot of social media.

The 35k comments in 11 months says otherwise.

Probably has something to do with the trade restrictions on certain chips.

This is just a crude early version. Eventually the tiles will be significantly smaller, quieter, and less prone to ripping toes off.

Even simple lies like this stress me out. My method is to just abruptly say, "sorry, I've got to go" and hang up. If asked about it later, "I'd really rather not talk about it." They pretty much never ask about it later though. Zero lies, zero stress, and you don't have to keep talking on the phone.

"Engineers have been circulating an old, famous-among-programmers web comic about how all modern digital infrastructure rests on a project maintained by some random guy in Nebraska. (In their telling, Mr. Freund is the random guy from Nebraska.)"

That's not quite right. Lasse Collin is the random guy in Nebraska. Freund is the guy that noticed the whole thing was about to topple.

Replace women with black people and your argument sounds exactly like the enlightened individuals arguing that baseball shouldn't be integrated even if there were black men out there good enough to play ball with white men.

Jackie Robinson absolutely understood that he would face unyielding discrimination. So did the flood of black ballplayers that followed him in the years to come. Hardship didn't deter any of them.

Each dev kit is $450. Being able to test on an emulator is free. Sure, you ultimately want to test on hardware, but indie dev teams aren't going to shell out that kind of money for each developer. Who gives a fuck about indie developers though, right?

Only 30+ year old cars, but a coat hanger can do that too. Soooo...

It's probably based on Q learning, which has been around for 30+ years, and I'm guessing the star is a nod to A* because it's an optimization of some kind.

You just linked to a wiki article that says country music has been around since the 1920s. That same site says a generation is 20-30 years, so 3 to 5 generations of country music.

For example, Hank Williams played country in the 40s for one generation. His son, Hank Williams Jr. played country music in the 70s for a different generation. His grandson, Hank Williams III, played country for yet another generation in the 90s. His great grandson, Coleman Williams (aka IV) plays country for today's generation.
