tjalex··on About the irrationality of e=2.718... (1840)
Check out the annotations on the side of the document for more details -- you can extend the proof to e^2 easily with c = 0.
tjalex··on Star Citizen and Squadron 42 are using Amazon’s Lumberyard game engine
Are you serious? Have you actually even tried the game?
tjalex··on Visual Studio Code 1.7
https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=donjayam... is fantastic, and I haven't felt the need to install anything beyond that (for Python specifically).
tjalex··on Visual Studio Code 1.7
I was so excited, but it turns out there's still no middle click for block selection :(
tjalex··on 2017 Chevrolet Bolt EV
They covered 238 miles on a trip w/ 34 miles indicated remaining, so if they went ~250 miles total on 60 kW-h that would be equivalent to a ~140 MPG car.
tjalex··on The “432 Hz vs. 440 Hz” conspiracy theory
I think they mean that chose to major in <X>, with music as a second (additional) major.
tjalex··on Hard Tech Startups
From the footnote in the original post:

[1] I use ‘hard tech’ to mean a startup where there is doubt that the technology can be built at all.

tjalex··on Visual Studio Code 1.5
Same; can't load any extensions. Issue has been posted: https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/11702
tjalex··on Essential Electron
I've tested opening a few ~15MB log files (no syntax highlighting) with VS Code and Atom... I'm amazed that one editor will load within 2-3s and the other will take 15s (or more!) when they are both built on Electron.
tjalex··on Ask HN: What did your 'Show HN' project turn into?
Just added $25/mo more :) awesome, awesome idea!
tjalex··on Hello world in every programming language
https://github.com/leachim6/hello-world/blob/master/b/blub.b...

Some of these are so nonsensical, it's fantastic

tjalex··on Can a 700 M.P.H. Train in a Tube Be for Real?
Service between LA, SF, and the Moon by 2020!
tjalex··on Play Store and Android Apps Coming to Chromebooks
Mine feels like it's slowly turning into a paperweight. :\
tjalex··on Chrome removes Backspace to go back
Agreed -- I am surprised (/disappointed?) they didn't add a replacement shortcut e.g. Alt+Backspace or something similar.
tjalex··on An MIT Underwear Exposé (and Sorting Hat)
You're not missing out, don't sweat it :-) I went to a similar university, and one of the best things about working in tech is that the culture is so similar to that environment.
