Or here, we open hundreds of thousands of homepages, find the jobs page on each site, follow the links to the apply pages, and return useful job data from each one, synced to Sheets.

You don't have to teach it about each site. It'll figure it out, even when the site changes! 🧠

If you double the size of a mammal, you don’t have to double it’s metabolism- even though you have doubled the number of cells to “feed”.

Instead you only have to increase the metabolism by 75%, giving you a 25% saving. Bigger is more efficient.

The badge this year at @hackaday Supercon was a work of art. It's a 4-bit processor that you can program instruction-by-instruction using the buttons on the front. The leds show you the state of the processor and the memory. I've played with it briefly, but it's a total blast

Very interesting what's happening in Berlin:

- German road law already allows bikes to park on "car" parking spaces (although in practice no one knows it / does it)

1/ Chris Langton on complex behaviour:

"The most surprising lesson we have learned from simulating complex physical systems on computers is that complex behavior need not have complex roots."

LinkedIn really flies under the radar as the social media platform that’s absolutely the most unhinged

I've been thinking for years about how to answer the question "What's the value of spotting a defect earlier?"

I no longer think that's even the right question. Thanks to @acmeducation for having me and @GHFairbanks on to present https://t.co/qqn6vuQOa9

@ruuddotorg @isomer This is why it’s often better to think in terms of (and plot) cache *miss* ratio

[CommanderRoot @CommanderRoot]

This was my tool. It would have used and respected rate limits if Twitter would return them like they do on most of their other endpoints. Would have also been nice if Twitter reached out instead of just fully disabling it. https://t.co/LQepnDG0hp

The Bunnings–Kruger effect: a cognitive bias whereby people with low ability, expertise, or experience with DIY projects tend to overestimate their ability or knowledge.

[ruud de rooij @ruuddotorg]

A similar concept in computing: a seemingly small drop in cache hit ratio from 99% to 98% results in double the origin traffic.

On x86, the stack grows “down” towards lower addresses. However, this is only true in the northern hemisphere due to the Coriolis effect. In Australia, the stack grows up actually. That’s because they are all looking at their monitors upside down to avoid falling off the planet.
