If you were to design a government system from scrstch, knowing what you see now, where would you place a Supreme Court?

Most roundabouts around here have stop signs at the entry points. They do nothing to alleviate the traffic flow.

🤦🏻‍♂️

A lot of Teslas around the SF Bay Area, but lately, noticing many Bolts and Rivians. Guessing the local numbers will change rapidly in the second half of 2024.

Biscuit may well be stalked by paparazzi soon.

How do you even recover from a capsized boat of that size in the middle of presumably bad conditions? And the article said they did it THREE times? Amazing.

Gave up on FiveThirtyEight after 2016. Once again, it's all about turnout.

You had to go dig deep in Settings to delete or change a password. Now it's in a built-in app.

Also, family sharing, one-time passwords, and Passkey support are all exact functionality of several third-party password managers.

This is taking Sherlocking to a whole new level.

• Monty Python and the Holy Grail
• The Big Lebowski
• Inception

Edit: Can't believe I left these out:

• High Fidelity
• Princess Bride

Relax. It's just proof that you're not from an alien species that has mastered the art of counterfeiting.

The remaining 0.85 have nowhere to go but down.

I have a project ready to try this out. It's a software simulator, and each run (typically 10-10,000 iterations) can be done independently, with the results aggregated and shown at the end. It's also instrumented to show CPU and memory usage, and on MacOS, you can watch how busy each core gets (hint: PEGGED in multicore mode).

Can run it single-threaded, then with multiprocessing, then with multi-core and time each one. Pretty happy with multicore, but as soon as the no-GIL/subinterpreter version is stable, will try it out and see if it makes any difference. Under the hood it uses numpy and scipy, so will have to wait for them.

Edit: on my todo list is to try it all out in Mojo. They make pretty big performance gain claims.

Python 2.7 and iOS mobile programmers stuck on Objective-C could start a support group.

Big fans. Our kids grew up on all the books and original TV shows. Then they remade the animated series, which brought along a line of stuffed animals. They had all of them, including an original felt Lowly. My wife even named her cat SallyKat.

The Taliban would approve this message.

Think where you would like to be when you're thirty, then work backward to now and figure out what you need to do to get there.

Also, don't be afraid to take chances.
