@caballerobrah yes, BUT the idea with go is the source code ought to be readable, and you should be reading the source anyway.

kubernetes has no excuse tho haha

[EMMETT MCDOW @mcd0w]

@LukeEure hmmm. is swahili generally more kiki or bouba? Askari is kiki(suitable for defense), but the others you mention feel more bouba to me.

in any case, cool to learn that there seems to be a Kenyan insider at Apple 👀

@magnum_d1ngus @MarioVerbelen (forgot to mention an init system, but point still stands)

[EMMETT MCDOW @mcd0w]

@magnum_d1ngus @MarioVerbelen 100% this. most don’t realize how simple linux “distributions” are. they’re really just:
- an installer
- a package manager
- a selection of most-used packages

understandable going for a normal distro in a corp. but for personal use? no good reason if you know what ur doing

@CWood_sdf pipes are a goated concurrency primitive

@kenwheeler i’m always on the hunt for secret, virgin toilets at work. it usually works best on places that have a large campus. the holy grail is when a section is being renovated (slowly) and a whole building is most unoccupied.

@dee_hw what’s the interface for all these sensors? e.g. how does that info make its way to the user

[EMMETT MCDOW @mcd0w]

people once said factories couldn’t replicate the work of artisans. so instead of trying to build the old designs with factories, industrialists made new designs suited for factories.

robots don’t need human level dexterity if we can simplify the designs of what they build.

[Aaron Slodov @aphysicist]

here's a vid of unitree robots building themselves using their own models (not teleop supposedly). this will only accelerate. it doesn't matter how much it costs to beat them, the economics are irrelevant. build it all now, and do it domestically.

@wolfie_ they weren’t driving through a park bc they had somewhere to go

@kenwheeler watching movies filmed in/about the place i’m visiting is my favorite

[EMMETT MCDOW @mcd0w]

@10_X_eng hey at least it looks like he’s having fun

[EMMETT MCDOW @mcd0w]

@DeveloperHarris @CalebChamberla6 my guess is banks don’t want to deal with selling thousands of something without an obvious public market (unlike a house)

[EMMETT MCDOW @mcd0w]

@tolly_xyz i don’t entirely disagree, but what makes you think *this* is the tipping point? many financial apps also require identity verification. feel like most apps won’t do identity verification unless required

@LukeEure sort the books individually by the longitude of the birthplace of the author

@Nexuist the catch is, if they have you doing a field sobriety test, you’re already cooked

[EMMETT MCDOW @mcd0w]

@Noahpinion SF is my favorite place in the world. but i don’t think it’s moving the culture very much anymore. I’d probably swap it for Chicago, Miami, or Atlanta tbh.

United States really should’ve put all of the knockout round games in SEC towns.

“Oh you wanna beat America in the round of sixteen? Great. You’ll do it in Tuscaloosa.”
