@nice_byte we had the readability process when I was at Waymo, took multiple CLs to get it. Looking at other codebases I get the impression it’s a way to stimulate some level of code consistency ( style etc ) across multiple teams :shrug

@nice_byte Amethyst (https://t.co/0vb4RPXh4d ) is a tiling “WM” for macOS that works pretty well. I was using it for a bit because on Linux I was running full on i3, but I have to admit that I got used to the floating windows of macOS, otherwise full screen VScode works everywhere.

@nice_byte Welcome, the Waymo->Apple pipeline is real 😀

@nice_byte Julia is really awesome, I would much rather use it than python. But unfortunately the reason to use python is not the language but the ecosystem so it will take a long time to replace that.

@nice_byte @badlogicgames iirc two n-vectors always span a 2-dimensional sub space of the n-dimensional space (as long as they are not parallel) and angles are intrinsically defined in this 2-dimensional space, so nothing really changes in higher dimensions, it just gets harder to visualize.

The beginning of #DontLookUp is a pretty realistic portrayal of science: The lone bored grad student discovering the comet in the middle of the night while jamming out. Them doing back of the envelope calculations on the white board and not trusting their results. #nolabcoats

First time at Apple Park to end my first week at ⁦@Apple⁩. What an amazing building.

@psim Hah! I completely forgot about cortexiphan.

@psim Oh shit in the next episode there is Britta from Community

[FD @Paraphrazor]

@psim Yeah! Just watched “In which we meet Mr Jones”

@nice_byte https://t.co/LcIIZSoAL2 is interesting if you want to learn the mathematics of it.

[FD @Paraphrazor]

Yo!

Happy Higgs day!
