DOA (1950) - I have rewatched this many times. Great movie.

This is just complete racist rubbish. It just beats me that this nonsense is taken so seriously, and so reverentially in today's era.

We have this opinion of American Indologist Dr. Trautmann, that Caldwell's Dravidian grammar was "magnificent". Really?

what prompted this thought was: after reading about "AlphaSmart"
I thought it would be cool to hack together such a device with e-ink display, a nicer keyboard.

Where I "discouraged" myself was when I started thinking about "cloud"/syncing/features etc

Fastest super computer in the world is now ARM based and from Fujitsu 😮

Damn. This guy was so smart.
He talks of the Johari window and social proof here. With examples.
It's so sad that no one (including me) even knew of this side of his when he was alive.

@cigardubey do you think this is a biz opportunity for someone in finland to build a solution -

Panje was such a person of fine taste. Along with that, he was generous.

If true this would be rather remarkable: I wish they provided a transcription of the actual inscription.

Oracle NetSuite is using #GraalVM #JavaScript to provide modern JavaScript (#ECMAScript) features to its customers via "SuiteScript". Use ES6+ now!

For Father's Day, all I can say is that "family" can sometimes be cover for unexamined trauma, parents can be more complex than you give them credit for, and understanding both is key to understanding yourself. I drew this, about my late father, in 2016:

Our recent experiments demonstrate the kernel can be shrunk down to almost 3MB by garbage collecting unneeded code, extracting ZFS code into a library, and keeping only drivers needed to boot on Firecracker and QEMU microVM - .

@btbytes While I'm not sure which specific Bhagavadgītā verse the fragmentary quote on the page is traceable to, one verse that really seems a neat fit for the page is 3:4.

(Which book of quotes are the above pages from?)

Yo why doesn’t anyone ever talk about this part of Julia Child’s bio?

Dear @ScienceChannel
Can you please retire the unscientific phrase "lost?"
Thank you.

This is not in the slightest bit worrisome.

Loved this bit of trivia from the Ergodicity Economics Lecture Notes ().

Matches my intuition that “paths” are the main object of study in EE and the areas it overlaps (systems where you decide what to do by looking at cause-effect and change over time).

Hooray! They finally get it!

Here is the machine-readable text (Devanagari) from the printed edition created by Shrinivasa Varakhedi and team. What a massive undertaking this is!

When you go to you are logging in to an information security platform written in Clojure. It's a very large business-critical system, and necessarily quite complex, while very clean, readable, and maintainable. Great example of a Clojure success story.

@ShriramKMurthi @guzdial I have gone through similar set of questions multiple times because it's an excuse for me to put off writing anything. finally :

1. a github hosted blog using python+pandoc+Make to generate html
2. a desktop wiki to write things I'm not ready to share yet

@SuspiciousPleb have you read @amychua's World on Fire:

Seems relevant in this context.

I came across this article by @aparrish, "Programming is Forgetting", thanks to @lhochstein. It's profound. Every few paragraphs it went a level deeper. (And perfectly relates to the follow-up to our upcoming ICER paper.) Well worth your time.
