Some people call me Flipsi. I like to craft software, play music and eat bananas.

@floogy @ImSh4yy This seems awesome!

Fun fact.

The Hawaiian Pizza was invented in Canada by a Greek immigrant, who was inspired by Chinese food to put a South American ingredient on an Italian dish, that went on to be most popular in Australia.

o3 and o4-mini are super good at coding, so we are releasing a new product, Codex CLI, to make them easier to use.

this is a coding agent that runs on your computer. it is fully open source and available today; we expect it to rapidly improve.

"A calculator app? Anyone could make that."

Not true.

A calculator should show you the result of the mathematical expression you entered. That's much, much harder than it sounds.

What I'm about to tell you is the greatest calculator app development story ever told.

One of the cool things about JavaScript is that all numbers are floats, so all loop iterators and incremented counters will eventually get stuck

Ich sitze im Zug, und weil das langweilig ist, versuche ich gerade auszurechnen, wie kalt sich der Weltraum anfühlt. Das Ergebnis erstaunt mich gerade ziemlich. Ich hatte mir das immer völlig anders vorgestellt. (Thread)

Objekte werden auf unserer Netzhaut verkehrt herum abgebildet. Daher, so liest man oft, muss unser Hirn lernen, das Bild umzudrehen. Und Babys nach der Geburt sähen anfangs noch alles verkehrt.
Aber Moment, das ergibt doch überhaupt keinen Sinn! (Thread)

"Spacetime had a good run. It was a really wonderful framework and it’s over, [...] It’s the glory of science to have theories that tell you where they stop. That’s how you avoid dogmatism."

A nice idea to approach the problem of missing/outdated documentation of domain models for evolving codebases.

❌ Avoid deeply nested validations that are hard to read.

✅ Instead use invariants.

[Fermat's Library @fermatslibrary]

2¹³⁶²⁷⁹⁸⁴¹−1, discovered today, is the largest known prime. It's a Mersenne prime (2ᵖ-1), which are easier to find.

It took nearly 6 years for the GIMPS software to find it after the previous largest known prime. It was also the first Mersenne prime found using GPUs.

C is Latin, the root of all modern languages, the whole universe used to speak it.

C++ is French, it’s Latin with fancy rules, used by the elite around the world & in specific circles.

JavaScript is English, everybody speaks it, most speakers speak it poorly and others don’t bother learning another language.

Java is German, it’s verbose, over-complicated and it made me cry several times. I won’t elaborate.

Python is Esperanto, it was created to be so easy everyone could speak it. Its speakers could benefit from a shower once in a while.

Rust is Russian, most speakers have an authoritarian left background and want to spread it worldwide.
