Looks like an excellent book, and the author is right that graph theory is a very useful and practical branch of mathematics. If only I could persuade my son to read it.
the only things we've got to actually make a judgement on are vibes and token anxiety. vibes generally indicate that more expensive == better, but more expensive == more token anxiety. so you end up using the most…
OK, so all of the evil capitalist western companies entirely pull out of the global south, taking their evil dehumanising "work" with them. Then what? Maybe the lucky ones get to work as domestics or laborers in the…
From my limited experience of working with McKinsey people, I would describe it as a Fortune 500 C-Suite incubator. The hire smart people, they are very well connected and the goal is to rise the ranks and get a CEO…
it's a good idea, but can you tweak it so that page 1 isn't a flashing naked lady?
If the majority of German voters want "to damage or destroy the democratic constitutional system in Germany", then is it not their democratic right to do so?
My dog has no nose. How does it smell? Awful.
What annoys people about Singapore is that it's an incredibly right leaning society with single party rule and "outrageous" social policies like "get divorced, lose your home", "10 grams of meth and we'll hang you (and…
"Scientific Linux was never simply "RHEL with a different wallpaper." It gave the scientific community an institutionally independent implementation of the Enterprise Linux platform."
Claude Code is an absolute dog. They hijack the scrollbar. Keybindings don't work properly on WSL. A jumble sale of slash commands that are almost all useless. Stupid flair like "Boondoggling...". I despise everything…
I thought the exact opposite a few lines in, and that's a shame because I'm genuinely interested. But it was unreadable.
And no one has dirtier hands than the BBC
What I find ironic are the "creatives" who declare resolutely that AI cannot create art,... now here is this cool vibe-coded software I've made. It's like saying a chisel cannot create a sculpture. Yeah, OK, but without…
I used to attend Kevin's Number Theory seminars at Imperial College many years ago and he's both a first rate mathematician and a very nice person. His blog has got me interested in maths again. Considering how pro AI…
No thanks
And we all sit on beanbags, sing kumbaya and write poems about our feelings.
Come to a country with universal healthcare (England) and realise that if you work then you're paying 5x the market price for the worst healthcare imaginable. MRI scan - we don't know, one month wait, maybe two.…
React isn't immediate mode. The dependency array, amongst other things determine what redraws and what doesn't. Yes, you can make React look like it's running in immediate mode, fully redrawing on every frame. But if…
Sorry, I just don't understand the premise behind Rune. The whole neovim / emacs / blah blah cult is based around configuring the infinitely configurable ecosystem. It's not better, or more productive, it's a hobby. So…
I saw a chrome tab this week that had Gmail with an empty inbox idling at 2.8Gb. Hard refreshed the page. Still 2.8Gb.
Should also include be under 25 and have lots of time to dedicate to it. I've always been interested in the idea of graphics programming and a few years ago I started teaching myself vulkan. Not sure quite how long I…
This is quite an interesting one to me because dotnet has a couple of job queues, with hangfire (hangfire.io) probably being the main one. I've used hangfire for years and it's OK, but it was lacking a few critical…
Fake news
I once worked in a company where there was an 80% code coverage requirement. Some enterprising contractor had a script that generated a single file with its own covering test suite the size of which could be tuned to…
The problem is that if you look at Russia's actions they are mostly rational and predictable. And by Russian standards Putin is a moderate. The Western wet dream is to "Yugoslavia" Russia. Balkanize it, load it with…
