We in the upside down land will be checking which way the toilet flushes if Biden is elected, just to make sure.

My understanding of the joke is less about tables, more about pontification; I.e. “it is so because we say it is”.

The system would also work in the UK the past few years.

Look up “Stanford marshmallow experiment”.

I can’t stand Rossman’s videos; but I respect the hell out of his ideas, principles, and efforts to better the slices of technological life that he cares about.

I don’t even have to open the image to know it’s FCKGW!

Me in the late 90s: CSS is not a language!

Today: Holy crap, it’s now Turing-complete.

“It’s a deck of playing cards. How much more fun can it be, compared to the 50+ other solitaire games? And why would I want to play poker by myself?”

So I got a bit of money leftover after bills, and decided to get it anyway cause I haven’t played anything fun this year. Went in blind without reading or watching any reviews.

Turns out it’s NOT just your standard deck of playing cards. You can do all sorts of crazy things to your deck. Like playing illegal hands such as five-of-a-kind, or a flush house. It’s a lot of fun.

Obligatory link to the Rustonomicon.

Should you wish a long and happy career of writing Rust programs, you should turn back now and forget you ever saw this book.

Thus just feels like a lazy LLM-generated article.

Here are some secrets of Linux that many people may not be aware of. *Proceeds to list things that Linux is famous for*

Speaking of stores, there’s also Obtainium if you like living on the edge. It can pull directly from GitHub releases, which may or may not be desirable for different people.

Another obvious one is Firefox or its siblings Mull & Fennec, with their add-on support for a better browsing experience.

There’s also system-wide ad/tracker blocking solutions. I don’t actually have a recommendation on this as most of them share each other’s blocklist anyway.

To be fair, I’m all for whatever medium would allow science communication be more effective. And for certain demographics, videos are the only thing they could digest, even for things that don’t need visuals. It is what it is, and I’m not in a position to judge.

But yeah, for people like us with one foot on the grave, every minute counts. And nothing beats the efficiency of skim-reading through text.

For the older people like myself that don’t understand why everything needs to be a 5-minute video, here’s a 15-second read:

Classical conditioning (also Pavlovian conditioning) is a type of learning that happens subconsciously.

Ivan Pavlov (1849-1936) was the first to show the way in which it works. He did this in an experiment using dogs. Pavlov noticed that the dogs naturally salivated when they saw food. He paired this unconditioned stimulus (showing food to the dogs) with another, neutral stimulus: the ringing of a bell. Pavlov discovered that, if the two stimuli are presented together again and again, the organism learns that they belong together.

all work in floats

We even have float16 / float8 now for low-accuracy hi-throughput work.

I really don’t know the Scottish English

If you think American v. British are at 80-90%, Scottish is around 30% and that’s being generous 🙂

Jokes aside, I’m now craving potato noodles because of your comment…

I still find it wild that Americans call macaroni and lasagne “noodles”.

Every. Single. Time. 🤚👆🤚
