I’ve had incredible success with testcontainers for local unit-testing

Found these a couple weeks ago and bought the golf PDF for my <7y/o nephew and he was initially hesitant but then thrilled once he understood the basic premise. Didn’t have the heart to start teaching him A* and manhattan distance, that’ll come later.
I’m glad the creator made this and am looking forward to seeing more of these
Side note, these reminded me of pocket mod which I absolutely loved using 15 years ago https://pocketmod.com/

Reminds me tangentially of this great recreation of a deposition: https://youtu.be/PZbqAMEwtOE

I love these! I’ve seen them referred to as “hand in hand” clocks and there are a handful of physical manifestations that you can 3d print or make yourself

I was just reading in "Losing the Signal"[1] about how Blackberry's relay service of the late 1990s was sometimes run on a sysadmins laptop just because they needed anything to help deal with the traffic they weren't equipped to deal with.

Just want to give a quick shout out to coauthor Tom Griffiths for being an amazing educator; I attended his class before this book was published and was delighted when this book covered the general ideas covered. I’m always happy to recommend it to others looking to understand more about computer science in an approachable way

MIT policy on sexual harassment was found to be violated.

There seems to be quite more to the article than that. Maybe if being critical of everything on the internet, the comment section may not be for you.

I think an answer to this is raw data. Data is data and you can of course massage the information to do what you want[1] and it can also be argued that it's been misinterpreted and improperly reported since the beginning of time. The truth is that the only "true" judgement that can be made is by the person who reads and interprets the raw data. If we make more "actualizations" like this where it takes a raw information stream and leaves it to the viewer to interpret, it will become less exploitable.
Akin to a thermometer, there are reporters and newscasters who can tell you the weather outside and we hope they are not deceitful but if you look at a thermometer, you have the raw data and you can make that judgement yourself.

Visualizations like these are incredible and I want to see more like them. We're at a time where data wealth and transparency is becoming more and more sought out and computers/microcontrollers are incredibly cheap.
An installation like this one would be thought provoking in an art gallery or event space, especially if it's pulling raw data. The silence, or even onslaught of noise, would be deafening. Presentations like these give a much more tangible understanding than points on a graph.

It is definitely beneficial to learn multiple languages. I felt bad for my friend because she had taken the two concurrently.
