Slightly taken, at best.

vscode-rest··on Why so many control rooms were seafoam green (2025)
Prob because Go Away Green sounds way cooler than all of those and it’s not a user facing term anyways.

You think if mom and pop shop did they same they’d be charged the same?
vscode-rest··on Tin Can, a 'landline' for kids
Perhaps. But weirdness in a public space is superior to weirdness in DMs.
vscode-rest··on Tin Can, a 'landline' for kids
Probably the best thing is a CB radio. Let them talk to any other kids in town but no chance of weirdness.

vscode-rest··on Put the zip code first
I wonder if people had a similarly negative reaction when someone first proposed speculative execution in processor pipelines.

“This is is a terrible idea, you’re telling me you will make 99% of cases way faster but completely ignore the 1% that will be slightly slower? Unbelievable.”

If you have SA that most of your customers are in USA, this is a good idea. If not, maybe use your brain a bit and figure out if it can be adapted to something which will work for your customer base.

vscode-rest··on Those who can, teach history
They do make history, but history makes them too.
vscode-rest··on What not to write on your security clearance form (1988)
I will grant that if you experience frequent blackouts you will likely not get cleared.
vscode-rest··on What not to write on your security clearance form (1988)
That is not correlated to Alcoholism. The “extremely hot spy” problem is essentially unsolved.
vscode-rest··on What not to write on your security clearance form (1988)
That is not the rule by any means. 6 months is a rule of thumb.

What exactly happened to your friend? It is not in the domain of possibility that they were explicitly informed “you are being rejected for X reason”, so everything they do say is pure speculation. Probably, they lied about something and got caught.

vscode-rest··on What not to write on your security clearance form (1988)
This information is highly outdated. You can say any number of things on your SF86 and still get cleared. This is indeed the point.
vscode-rest··on What not to write on your security clearance form (1988)
Gross misunderstanding of the threat model.

Phishing is not the problem here. Your laptop isn’t getting SIPR emails with links to fake login screens.

Are the studies blind or double blind? If the musicians do not know what they are playing, they will not be able to “respond” to it.
vscode-rest··on EU bans the destruction of unsold apparel, clothing, accessories and footwear
That would be a carbon tax. This is plain overregulation.
vscode-rest··on EU bans the destruction of unsold apparel, clothing, accessories and footwear
So many clothes are already shipped to poorer parts of africa that it ends up being essentially indistinguishable from a landfill.

There are more clothes produced worldwide than there are people to wear them. Shipping unwanted refuse to poor counties is treating them as a landfill and patting yourself on the back.

vscode-rest··on I put a real-time 3D shader on the Game Boy Color
It would be quite hilarious if the game boy knockoff proceeds were funding the defense contract executions.
vscode-rest··on Vouch
Yeah… this code is entirely just a parser for a file format the author invented. Exact same thing could be done as a csv. Sacrificing confugrability for standardization and all that, but… I don’t see the there, there.

Probably the idea is to eventually have these as some sort of public repo where you can merge files from arbitrary projects together? Or inherit from some well known project’s config?

vscode-rest··on Five disciplines discovered the same math independently
I’m no mathematician (studied up to diff eq, linear algebra, discrete), but from glancing through the paper I do not really have an ability to apply this concept to a problem of my own, though it does seem useful.

Do you think this is something that should be taught generally? In which class would it fit? It feels generally diffeq-ish.

Everything you listed is zoo PR, just for a different target audience.

(that doesn’t make it bad)

vscode-rest··on My iPhone 16 Pro Max produces garbage output when running MLX LLMs
Calculator.app does have history now FWIW, it goes back to 2025 on my device. And you can make the default vertical be a scientific calculator now too.

Also it does some level of symbolic evaluation: sin^-1(cos^-1(tan^-1(tan(cos(sin(9))))))== 9, which is a better result than many standalone calculators.

Also it has a library of built in unit conversations, including live updating currency conversions. You won’t see that on a TI-89!

And I just discovered it actually has a built in 2D/3D graphing ability. Now the question is it allows parametric graphing like the MacOS one…

All that said, obviously the TI-8X family hold a special place in my heart as TI-BASIC was my first language. I just don’t see a reason to use one any more day to day.

Ah ok then let’s just call them contractors because that’s what exactly what they do.
