Keep in mind that a lot of issues with search are oblivious to the general public. I don’t think I have ever heard a complaint, outside of tech circles.

I get what you are saying, but let’s cut it out with the ethical, free speech and other aspects of the Twitter dilemma. Leaving or staying is the same virtue signaling that most people were fighting against during the last few years.

PG likes to do that as much as any other person. I recall a random tweet telling something like “all smart people I know are moving their wealth from bitcoin to ethereum”. This is crying for attention, unfit for such an accomplished person and this great website.

If you want to go with something like that you could remove physical keys and make it a “tablet” keyboard with endless possibilities. That might be interesting

How is this interesting news?

This. Let’s not jump to the conclusion that making this point today is a silly argument or even an evil deed.

For someone who writes mostly in GC languages this was a great read and can recommend.

Even with switching to <your_safe_language> let’s not loose awareness of what is possible to strengthen current approaches.

Me too! I was surprised at the title, fully expecting Norvig to channel Michael Malice and talk about splitting the US.

By the title alone, I first thought it was about something like podcast addiction - listening to someone basically every waking hour. I feel like nobody (me included) can suffer silence anymore and it got even worse with remote work, when you are alone and can listen the whole time.

Optimum Tech is the place to go when evaluating any PC part or peripheral. The work put into the videos is simply unmatched, with its scientific precision, in the space and it doesn’t go overboard in the recommendations. It keeps in mind everyday things like value for money, availability and practicality.

Every time I come across a piece of writing by the author I wish to some day achieve such joy and love of programming.

Maybe it’s time to use more Lisps than Scripts.

If anybody starting out is reading this, I second the Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programms recommendation. Wish I started with that as well, but it has been truly great even later into a programming career.
