If you've spent half your life not knowing what the sunk-cost fallacy is, it's probably not worth learning it now.

Look, if Apple took a hit of $200 on every Mac sold, their $147b reserves could only survive another 58 years at current sales figures.

Maybe it will become trendy again to optimize your software to use less RAM.

JUST IN: Apple $AAPL raises iPads and Macs prices due to memory chip costs: • iPad Air: $599 → $749 • MacBook Neo: $599 → $699 • iPad Pro WiFi: $999 → $1,199 • MacBook Air: $1,099 → $1,299 • MacBook Pro: $1,699 → $1,999

Some programming languages have so much syntactic sugar you get syntax diabetes.

I should add we use an eñe (ñ) instead.

It is unbelievable how much better all software has become in the past 6 months! Like everything is working better! Fewer bugs. New features all the time! The apps I use every day have improved at least 10x from where they were just 6 months ago! Services I depend on never break. Oh wait. None of that happened. Almost everything is actually significantly worse. Not sure how to make sense of that given all the immense productivity gains. Actually I do. Regression to the mean has more gravity than ever. And that is not a good thing.

the biggest problem is that most people in this space talking about model's performance were not good programmers to begin with and don't even know what good is.

I’m tired of useless AI benchmarks. How about we give three people a different model, strand them on an island, and see who survives the longest

お、おお…たまに見かける"メーカがデモンストレーションのために半分に切断したレンズ"、あれって一応写るんだ。しかし光線のイメージが脳内だと2D止まりで3次元的な光路がイマイチ想像つかないな…というか半分写るということでもないような…？軸上の回転対称の光路は喪失して、それ以外が残る？

1/ We are sharing additional details regarding our investigation into unauthorized access to GitHub's internal repositories. Yesterday we detected and contained a compromise of an employee device involving a poisoned VS Code extension. We removed the malicious extension version, isolated the endpoint, and began incident response immediately.

You asked for longer rants, so here are longer rants! After almost 10 years I'm back to blogging. Thanks for the encouragement. Link below in the thread 🔻

I maybe overreacted on the Windows CPU boost solution Perhaps folks like me are frustrated and want to hear about code optimizations over cranking up a CPU even if it’s a legit clever trick. The other thing is, I’m concerned about the damaged Intel Raptor Lake CPUs. I own one.

Let me get this straight Developers couldn't figure out how to make efficient apps, so they made us buy devices with 32GB of RAM Now they can't figure out how to make performant apps, so they're making us pay for more electricity?

Microsoft's hidden Windows 11 trick makes apps launch 70% faster. I tested it on a low-end PC, and early results are promising. Right now, when you click Start, open File Explorer, launch Edge, or right-click for a context menu, and there’s often that tiny micro-stutter before

It's of course not at all exclusive to web frontend, the same thing is starting to happen with Unreal & Unity, or with "AWS glue" style backend / devops jobs. Learning a tool rather than the fundamentals gets you started quicker, but ultimately limits your growth.

I've found UI programming to be very deep and interesting if you're doing it all from scratch (API design, layout, rendering, text handling, focus management, animation, input handling etc). Such a shame we condemned a generation of frontend devs to the browser black box.

Just want to make sure I'm reading this right: Microsoft rewrote the run dialog with performance "top-of-mind", and the best they could manage to do when putting up a single text box was 10fps?
