I had fun re-implementing antirez's "kilo" editor

https://github.com/antirez/kilo

There's a nice tutorial for it

Great way to learn more about terminal modes and write some raw C

Copycopy?

Yeah she and I prefer the flash version too.

The music is great, and sitting together at a computer is a better collaborating experience than the mobile app.

Unless you're on a roadtrip.

My daughter and I play "dadbot" where I'm the robot and she has to give me clear instructions on what I should do. It started after I showed her https://lightbot.com/ but we like the "screen-free" nature of dadbot better.

Eventually she jumps on my back and the game doesn't last much longer because dadbot gets tired.

I went to Olin and took a class from Allen Downey. Highly recommended

I think LexClips are a little better because they tend to have less Lex and more guest than the full interview.

But I’d prefer if he was edited out completely.

Errol Morris had some pretty good interview documentaries where almost all interviewer questions are edited out. It’s a great format.

Do you work at Apple?

The man/woman color inversion one was the most impressive to me. On the rotations, I can rotate in my mind and see the other view… but I find it very hard to color invert mentally

I guess with Nazis, there is a chance that a revolt eventually happens and ends their reign. It’s less clear how humans come back from being paperclipped, so maybe that’s his rationale. But it’s a foolish question because of the antisemitism that looms in any discussion of nazis.

I prefer this variant of the question:

Would you rather all of humanity suffer in eternal Hell, or cease to exist?

That’s a pretty clear one for me.

I’ll take an Irish Car Bomb please.

Or ] if you want to make a red screen ;-)

What’s the minimal program that actually draws something? I’m just getting black so far.

Edit: ah, it’s F

Completely agree! The antagonists also dig tunnels and otherwise subvert city infrastructure. I feel like it was a perfect example of what the author talked about.

“We are in great haste to construct a magnetic telegraph from Maine to Texas; but Maine and Texas, it may be, have nothing important to communicate.” —- Thoreau

We raised ~$60m before R1 launched in 2018. And we were still under 100 total when S2 launched at the end of 2019.

I'm not sure how things would have played out if we had 100m+ before we launched anything. We may have delayed launch even further and missed out on valuable market feedback and brand awareness.

“keep a copy of it”

It’s been so long since I sent a physical letter that I forgot the default is you only have a record of the replies.

> our lab

Which lab are you referring to?

My friend just moved back to SF from Austin.

He said Austin seemed alive when it was one of the only places open during COVID, but now it’s just another place with worse weather.

I tried to do this, but apparently I didn’t start early enough.

Now my six year old daughter trolls me, saying “I love the ads” and refuses to let me press SKIP AD if we are watching a YT video together.

Harm is all you need

I know the reason, and it’s a doozy. Send me $5 and I’ll let you in on the secret.

I have a Tailscale wrapper script named rat-king.

I hate people that complain about logo redesigns, but I audibly groaned when I saw this amorphous blob icon.

I like how sharp the old logo looked, so this feels too rounded and squiggly by comparison.

The adjustable colors are nice though. Hopefully it grows on me.

At least it isn’t another four-primary-colors app like Slack or Google, etc.

Yeah I remember watching the documentary about the history of the group that created Biosphere2, and I had my mind blown when Bannon showed up at the end.

I like YouTube Shorts.

I think the TikTok swipe format works pretty well for content discovery on mobile, so I’m glad YouTube copied it.

And unlike TikTok, the long form videos are still there, so I can click on a username and watch more from a creator I like.

Would be funny to redo existing famous movie scenes with obviously AI generated responses.

"I shall offer him a proposition that he cannot refuse."

"Looking in your direction, dear child"

"Your capacity for handling the truth is insufficient!"

"May the power of the Force be with you."

"I will return."

Ah, my smarter friend figured it out.

Hint: what is eatable?

I can't even beat the first level.

You seem smart. How do I follow you?
