I wonder how many other XKCD comics now have Wikipedia articles?
taejavu··on French musician Kavinsky found dead
There’s a while sub genre of synthwave named after his album OutRun. Which, by the way, is best experienced while driving on the highway at night.

taejavu··on Apple's weird anti-nausea dots cured my car sickness
What's the setting called? I haven't been able to find it. Is it only on Tahoe or something?

Thanks!

Is there a good video you could link to that covers this? Or is it apparent just from watching a run, from GDQ or something?

Can you select and copy text with pretext?
taejavu··on The Biochemical Beauty of Retatrutide: How GLP-1s Work
Yeah I think the fries and sugary beverage would be contributing to the “crazy stomach pain” a lot more than the steak. But the person I’m replying to made no mention of those things..
taejavu··on Rewrite Bun in Rust has been merged
My read is that it just seems a bit reckless doing a full rewrite so quickly.

What’s wrong with eating steak? Biologically I mean, not ethically.

How does an article like this not mention Bill Joy??
taejavu··on 'Point of no return': New Orleans relocation must start now due to sea level
Weren't the Maldives supposed to be underwater like 15 years ago? Seems like the sea is rising much slower than models predicted?
taejavu··on Roblox shares plummet 18% as child safety measures weigh on bookings
What’s to stop a 40 year old from holding up a photo of their 15 year old self for the age verification camera?
taejavu··on AI uses less water than the public thinks
Yes, drought often results in the death of livestock.
taejavu··on AI uses less water than the public thinks
That water is free. It’s called rain.
taejavu··on AI uses less water than the public thinks
The vast majority of cattle are raised in a pasture and eat grass, even those labeled “grain fed”. Grain fed just means they spend some time (e.g. 30 days) in a feed lot.

I hadn’t heard about cows eating alfalfa though, where is that happening? Wouldn’t it be more valuable to sell it to people instead of using it as feed?

taejavu··on AI uses less water than the public thinks
How many gallons of water are you assuming are in that burger patty? Because, while cows do drink water that falls from the sky and lands on fields where it was going to land anyway, they also urinate most of it back out.

Very little water that would have been used for any other purpose, or isn’t naturally returned to the water cycle, ends up being consumed in the production of the burger patty.

To be clear I think your point about AI not consuming all that much water relative to other things is valid, but comparing it to the water consumed by eating meat weakens your point for anyone that hasn’t bought into the bunk “cows are driving climate change” narrative.

taejavu··on Reverse Engineering SimTower
Very cool! I used to play this game for a few minutes every morning at a friends place before school. With the clone being open source, would you be open to QoL patches? I don’t have anything specific in mind, just curious how close to the original you want to stay.
taejavu··on The Prompt API
Lmao and here I am still staunchly treating Blazor’s 2MB runtime as a deal-breaker
taejavu··on A programmable watch you can actually wear
September 18, 2020. That's when Apple released their Watch Series 6, which has an always on color display, and enough battery to last all day.
taejavu··on The underrated benefits of always having oatmeal at lunch
If you wouldn’t mind indulging me, I’m very curious how you came to be of that opinion

taejavu··on Claude Code Cheat Sheet
C is "just another abstraction on top of what we already had" (Assembly). Doesn't mean it's not useful
taejavu··on Runners who churn butter on their runs
Thanks I genuinely appreciate your input

And you’d be right. I have linked a study supporting my claim above, you’re welcome to tell me why it’s invalid.

“… higher TC and LDL-C were independently and paradoxically associated with lower risk of all-cause mortality and longer survival time in men”

taejavu··on Runners who churn butter on their runs
Eating butter is good for your heart. As long as your triglycerides and HDL (AKA "good cholesterol") are low, elevated LDL (AKA "bad cholesterol") is associated with lower all-cause mortality.
taejavu··on Tell HN: I'm 60 years old. Claude Code has re-ignited a passion
That might be generally true for frontend frameworks these days, because they’ve all converged around the same ideas. But in the mid 2010s, Backbone was very different from jQuery, which was very different from Knockout, Ember, ReactJS etc. certain frameworks embraced certain programming paradigms, others embraced others.

Some of my colleagues didn’t make the jump. Those that were the most into AngularJS back then are still writing Angular apps today.

taejavu··on Tell HN: I'm 60 years old. Claude Code has re-ignited a passion
At the time that’s precisely how it felt though. So much so that I personally felt it wasn’t worth it relearning everything. Had shipped several projects with AngularJS at my very first dev job, and have never written a line of Angular v2+
taejavu··on Weave – A language aware merge algorithm based on entities
I tried this with the kind of merge conflict I'd expect it to solve automatically, and it didn't. Is it supposed to work while rebasing, or is it strictly for merges?
taejavu··on Four Column ASCII (2017)
Tangentially related, there is much insight about Unix idioms to be gained from understanding the key layout of the terminal Bill Joy used to create vi
