I think they're expecting a daily problem set like Advent of Code. This is not a set of problems to solve, it's a series with one release per day in December, similar to an Advent calendar.

I feel like I'm missing the context of the sleep(1) debate and reading both points of view they seem like they're arguing for the same side? Would love for someone to cleanly explain both sides to this as I clearly don't quite get it.

I think the point is there are many "startups" with similar revenue and growth to Linear that never become profitable. I don't think Linear qualifies as a small business and I don't think they're scaling less quickly than someone in same market with more funding and less profit.

For me the only one would be sketching/painting. But I agree with the point in general, most hobbies cost a lot.

It wasn't quite monthly but on my radwagon 4 I would change the pads every other month at least. Hauling two kids around SF on a heavy bike plus a little bit of poor design on Rad's part.

I think they more specifically mean server side rendering of react components vs an SPA.

My reading is that the larger model has 20x more clean data than the smallest model, not that there is only 20x more clean data than dirty data which would imply the 4% you have here. I agree it could be worded more clearly.

Ambigrams can be read right side up and rotated by 180 degrees (sometimes other rotations also exist). Some of the ones here say the same thing when turned, and some say a different, usually related, word or phrase.

It's a little difficult to parse but this is hourly share of transactions. If transactions were evenly spread out over 8 hours a day, 7 days a week, each hour would get about 1.8% of transactions. So a 0.4% change in hourly share for a given hour is quite significant.

We bought a projector. Would definitely recommend this if you have a wall that works for it. No unsettling frame smoothing, a minute or two warm up that adds just enough friction and no smart functions or ads.

And beyond that obvious path the author is only watching for activity while the port is not wet! Obviously it wouldn't phone home every time the port is dry. While I doubt apple is using this to void warranty claims this is about the weakest debunking of that I can imagine.

> World Liberty Financial has received $75 million from Chinese crypto entrepreneur Justin Sun. Last week, Trump’s Securities and Exchange Commission, now purged of its Biden-era crypto enforcement team, dropped its fraud case against Sun.

This is not just financial benefit for a voting bloc.

I've recently tried to get into urban sketching and spending any time observing figures in an urban scene makes this immediately obvious. So many people staring at phones everywhere you got. I'm equally guilty but once you start looking it is quite stark.

They're often much cheaper at Costco if that's an option and you don't care about a specific color. They are a complete game changer though, especially if you're a new parent.

The podcast has been amazing. I started reading along at the beginning but couldn't keep up. It's been great to get such an accessible but in depth look into the book. Fascinating look at tactics and strategies for influence and power along with a ton of history of New York. I would highly recommend it.

Is python no longer a modern language? Objects are certainly not copied when passed to a function.

I believe lower_bound is ordering by key comparison - python dicts are insertion ordered.

Even if they are you can't do business in a country and ignore that country's laws just because you're domiciled somewhere else.

Sort of burying the lede - also states that all SVB depositors will be made whole along with Signature depositors.
