This seems like a plainly bad idea, though that doesn’t lessen the chances of it becoming law. In practice, it’s silly — building 3D printers side steps it, yes? Can I print nothing when the registry …

I didn’t get that the IDE is running on both sides, if that’s true. Wow.
comment
How so? Perhaps I don’t understand the context. Undoing text display is trivial, undoing code changes is already there, what’s missing? We’re not talking eons, less than a second.
comment
Interesting. It seems to me that client side prediction and lag compensation (aka the basics for games in similar situations) would have been a viable alternative.

All the comments, all the time. This was a fun (funky?) little project that I enjoyed building and am enjoying on my desk as well. Source for the display and backend are both on github if you'r…

This is an interesting left hand vs right hand thing. Apple is making it more difficult for find a particular app while coding assistance is making it easier to build one. At some point those curves i…

That’s not uncommon, but having grown up in a house heated by wood fires I knew that when building our current house. The main fireplace is on a central wall and has enormous thermal mass. Beauty and …

A while back I worked on a project where s3 held giant zip files containing zip files (turtles all the way down) and also made good use of range requests. I came up with seekable-s3-stream[1] to gener…

This lack of ASIC is interesting to me. If it existed, that would very much change the game. And, given the simplicity of WG encryption it would be a comparatively small design (lower cost?)
comment
Let’s game that out. What happens during the transition? Oh, inconveniently ugly things that Musk won’t say out loud. Oh, and the timeline makes that transition interminably long.

There are two kinds of people when it comes to UDP.

AutoLISP programming is the only LISP programming I’ve ever done. Memories.
comment
I stopped deploying to a single region for production years ago, so I don’t really have a horse in this region comparison race. That said, I’ve seen network level issues in every region I use — nothin…

Isn’t that exactly the same? People hiring someone (or using something) to make themselves better understood, more professional looking, or falsely authoritative?
comment
I see your point but that’s not mine at all. People use these tools for a variety of reasons (as diverse as people’s experiences). One can use an LLM to help express a perspective or develop and opini…

That’s a great distinction — the non-determinism is a huge difference.
comment
Explain?
comment
But not the appearance. It’s not the same, but it rhymes. Edit: to clarify, people were judged by the clarity of their handwriting in the past and these tools made that impossible. Similarly, LLMs spa…
comment
Is writing with LLM assistance that different than writing with a typewriter 100+ years ago? Than using a computer and printer 30 years ago? Each can be seen as using a tool to add false legitimacy. B…

Not often, and not recommended, but I have coded on the cockpit table while single-handing a sailboat. Interrupting a conference call with “sorry, one moment, I have to tack out of the fleet” is it…

So at least a good chunk of the Internet does indeed operate on a spreadsheet. Good to know.
comment
So now we call the refresh button CPR?
comment
Nice. JSON over UDP is convenient, but has some drawbacks. But first your questions: The answer to a) depends: If the payload is larger than can fit in a single datagram (the exact number can vary a b…
comment
I imagine a world sometimes where punitive measures reflect the scope of crimes. If steal from a person is 1 year, then stealing from 1000 is 10 years and from a million is a lifetime. That’d put the …

To put it on your level, the mechanic works for you not us. Working for us involves a higher bar (or should). Edit: typos

Unregulated casinos?
