Very few mayors have as many constituents as NYC, though. So of all mayoral inaugurations, this one has among the most potential people thinking about it, even disregarding how on-the-national-stage the election played out.

I probably need to learn Go.

And by “suspicious of” you mean “bigoted against”.

but also: exploit the oil

Turns out "anti-woke" was just a rebrand of good old bigotry. I am shocked.

The Invisible Hand demands its tribute. It’s giving us the Invisible Middle Finger again.

Management is always going to take too long (in an engineer’s opinion) to manually throw the alerts on. They’re pressing people for quick fixes so they can claim their SLAs are intact.

How about Assembly?

Assembly is higher level logic than brainfuck, especially on modern chips. You have built in instructions for arithmetic and conditionals/branches and you can allocate memory and point to it.

You don’t really get any of that with brainfuck. You have a theoretical tape and counters and that’s basically it.

SKI calculus is pretty neat, too. You get no tape, no counters. (But it's not quite as bad to program in as brainfuck, because you can built more ergonomic contraptions to help you along.)

SKI can, of course, be de-optimised a bit further by replacing I with SKK. You are right though that it is relatively simply to go from something that looks like a normal program languages to a pile of S and K combinators. Not the most efficient way to compute though!

Unlambda solves that problem.

"What if we had the lambda calculus without the lambda forms?" asked no one.

There is exactly one game keeping me from running Linux as my main OS… and that’s iRacing.

Sadly, they won’t (not can’t…) ship the flag in EOS (née EAC) that enables anti-cheat support on Linux. It would work, but they just don’t have the resources to support a whole other family of OSes.

So, between that and the abject murder of WMR for my Reverb G2, I’m stuck on Win10 for the foreseeable.

Apple integrated the hyperlocal darksky stuff into their native Weather app. It had a few growing pains, but it's as good as it ever was, imho.

Agreed.

The one thing I’d like them to improve are the precipitation maps though. They just feel awkward and unreliable.

Alas, that's just the nature of precipitation maps. When radar is the only true source of what's coming down where, you're a the mercy of the laws of physics, and we don't have a large enough array of stations to give hyperlocal-quality coverage to every locality.

Making it vague-ish was a design choice to help curtail complaints of inaccuracy while still giving near-enough-to-accurate information to be useful generally speaking.

I've been burned by Apple's rain forecast many times causing me to time my bike ride home at the worst possible time

I don't think DarkSky was any better though to be fair. It's just a hard problem
