Code contains rules and instructions for computers to follow. The constitution contains rules and instructions for humans to follow. Each human uses a different code interpreter though 😊

I only observed a disappointing 995x improvement. What can I do to attain the remaining 5x?

Just kidding - you rock! I originally signed on with lemm.ee after I read one of your previous optimization posts regarding Cloudflare. You seemed like a gent who was on top of his game ☺️.

What a beautiful picture, thank you! You have a very nice way with words.

Thank you so much for sharing! I can really relate. Are you able to bring back that special feeling regularly? Or is it more rare these days now that you are a bit older?

I recently tried playing a game on an OLED Switch to compare it to the same game on my iPhone/Backbone combo. The game ran and looked better on my iPhone even though it was running through remote play.

I think I am in the minority of people who is actually interested in this device (in theory)… I just think it looks silly. Somehow the third party Backbone is more visually appealing than the Project Q.

Senior year of university I was browsing my school’s intranet page late one evening when I saw an advertisement for a “developer interview day” hosted by a Fortune 25 company.

I thought what the heck and filled out the application. Upon submitting the form, I got an error saying that my GPA did not meet the minimum requirements for the position.

I kept bumping up my GPA until the submission went through.

Ended up working at that company for 5 years!

“This sentence is a lie” sounds false but is actually true. I think?

“What Orwell failed to predict is that we'd buy the cameras ourselves, and that our biggest fear would be that nobody was watching.”

Thank you! This is right up my alley and I will definitely check it out.

Yep! The spreadsheet is just an analogy I used to help unfamiliar people visualize what I was talking about.

The actual rules for Conway's Game of Life are as follows:

  1. Any live cell with fewer than two live neighbours dies, as if by underpopulation.
  2. Any live cell with two or three live neighbours lives on to the next generation.
  3. Any live cell with more than three live neighbours dies, as if by overpopulation.
  4. Any dead cell with exactly three live neighbours becomes a live cell, as if by reproduction

Isn’t any illness on a plane an airborne illness?
