It does mention the Insight Meditation Society.

Ah ha! I had searched the article to see if there was a way to do that. Because while it would be awesome to have a file like this, creating it sounded like a pain.

The white square is the designer. Try double clicking on it.

I worked at company_name when the .xxx top level domain became available, and my boss was sure that we should buy company_name.xxx. I talked them out of it. Luckily no one has maliciously registered company_name.xxx all these years later. I guess it could happen any day now.

"with even very moderate practice, humans can match Ayumu’s performance."

The article is misnamed, the actual score is 1 to 1.

Meh. About as useless as blockchain, I guess.

Capital oriented companies can lead to the correct outcome if the consumer has enough information to distinguish the superior product. One solution to this problem that capitalism has found is UL Listing (Underwriters Laboratories.) Of course you could say they are just outsourcing what should be done by the government. It comes down to who do you trust to not fall into corruption.

They didn't say constant maintenance, they said endless maintenance. 20 minutes a month is a never ending commitment of time. They have better things to think about.

In Richard Feynman's book, "Surely You're Joking Mr. Feynman!" he tells the story of his exploits in safe cracking. And the eventual "solution" that the bosses come up with... not to make their safes safer, but to ban Feynman.

_those are for playing MP3s off a flash drive._ I am reminded of the workaround people used to use for inputting streamed audio to their old car stereos through a cassette tape adapter. Could the computer emulate a flash drive somehow?

What is artcasting?

Took hints from, ergo "an ad hoc, informally-specified, bug-ridden, slow implementation"

Canary in the coal mine...

In ETL work I often come across a nightly job that is harder to implement than most for some snowflakey reason, and I just start my day doing it manually, which might just take a minute. At some point I will get so annoyed that I will take the time to figure it out properly.

That is a funny word. I am a big proponent of in-word dashes, which in this case could help clarify. It is "undo-able", not "un-doable".

The article mentions Chrome OS Flex, which is a version that doesn't require the Google security chip so it runs on a regular Intel PC. That is "de-Googled" I suppose, though I am not sure about the security implications that you mention.

If we are comparing the impact, shouldn't it be adjusted for the size of the economy? The U.S. GDP was under $15T in 2008 and is over $23T today.

That _is_ a very interesting idea. If every toy had a "home," then it could be a game; every object not in an assigned place would turn red, and you have to find its home.

Pretty. Keyboard shortcuts would be a nice addition.

The corners appear as triangles in the figure. I counted all the triangles I could find and was confused because I only saw 7. But then I realized the 8th is around the outside of the whole figure!

I am not a JetBrains user, but it looks like that only applies to saved versions? Undo normally holds every typed change. https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/local-history.html#resto...

So many dead links! Sad, I would love to poke around a resource like this.

Oh! Menus. I was confused, having come from a Hacker News link.
