The British Empire never truly fell. It just moved its headquarters from The City to Wall Street just as Rome did to Constantinople.

Great thread, I agree with every point made.

[Nic Barker @nicbarkeragain]

One of the absolute killers of productivity in programming (and most other disciplines) is too much overlap between people's work. The highest velocity teams are doing mostly independent streams of work with infrequent, well defined points to combine the results.

Friends.

Regarding the clear defamation of me by @nicolelampert in The Telegraph, complaints can be made directly to [email protected]

If they don't fix it, then we can complain to the regulator.

Much thanks xx

@mitchpresnick @GodfreeTrh 一、流行论调的表层观察
将中国资本配置模式简单概括为“微观极度浪费、宏观成效惊人”，是海外很流行的一种叙事。这种说法捕捉到了部分表面特征，但本质上仍是用西方短期盈利、股东回报的单一标尺，来评判一套目标完全不同的经济运行体系，视角自带局限。

The nascent HTML-in-Canvas API is exciting to me not for flashy effects, but because it extends the semantics that the DOM can (tractably) represent — tiny example: it's possible to show an element in multiple places, cheaply, under arbitrary transforms.

and for now it is about "Iranian oil," watch as this ends up "no oil at all" or "only oil we allow China to buy" which is almost the same thing.

Let me rant a bit more about this.

This is Crabs In a Bucket: The Comic. People share this every time someone tries to make something good. “Oh, that will obviously fail, because other people have made shitty versions of that thing. I am very wise.”

What is the point? Everything that is good was inspired by past things. The first version of the thing is never the good version. “Oh, mobile phones will never take off, because we’ve tried mobile phones and no one likes them.”

I have very little patience for status quo defenders. Is the software good, or isn’t it? If it’s not good, why aren’t we making something better? “Oh, people have tried to make better things, and it always fails.” Nonsense. The entire field of software is like 80 years old. Basically nothing has been tried. Why should we discourage people from innovating? From trying things they’re excited about? What does that achieve on literally any level?

If someone you know is excited about building something new, and you share this comic to shut them down, shame on you. You are actively preventing people from making better software.

One reason I care so much about mathematical development is that math is unusually powerful when paired with something else.

Math + engineering
Math + physics
Math + economics
Math + computer science
...

The combination is worth far more than either domain in isolation.

[Alex Smith @ninja_maths]

Adult learners often talk about how we've helped them overcome childhood math trauma.

These learners had bad experiences in math education & are carrying old prerequisite gaps.

When those gaps are repaired, material that once felt impossible can feel surprisingly simple.

I like this movie very much, because it was very clever in what it was challenging excellent work. Im not convinced either that he 100% killed himself.

But I do think ppl are really unkind to anxious/needy partners on screen, it awakens the abuse impulse. Thats why they like her

look I don’t agree with bombing this country but I am going to repeat every state department characterization and talking point about that government

[josh! @queersocialism]

should be a national emergency just how much these liberal talk shows are continuously making millions of american’s gleefully incurious and belligerently infantile politically. just a tragedy that this is the source that millions of people are relying on to stay informed
