So many good quotes: "If hallucination matters to you, your programming language has let you down." "Does an intern cost $20/month? Because that’s what Cursor costs." "'But it’s bad at rust' It’s hard to get a good toolchain for Brainfuck, too." LLMs are good at Go and bad at Rust says a LOT.

Let's talk about these two department store owners: brother and sister Louis Bamberger and Caroline Bamberger Fuld. From Newark, New Jersey. They are random people, basically. But in the late 1920s, with fascism taking over Europe, they made a choice that profoundly changed the world: 🧵

the "Our Blessed Homeland / Their Barbarous Wastes" meme, which depicts identical societies with different coloured flags, and labels describing features of "our" side as glorious, noble, etc, and "their" side as primitive, backward etc. i've edited it so the little boats approaching eachother are labelled "our world-changing technology" and "their dangerous copyright infringement"

31 December 1995. Still the perfect goodbye.
The final Calvin and Hobbes cartoon. The entire page is mostly white as they're in the winter snow. The pair is walking with a sledge, nicely duffled in in scarves, hats, gloves. Calvin delightedly exclaims 'wow, it really snowed las night! Isn't it wonderful?'. Hobbes follows up with 'Everything familiar has disappeared! The world looks brand-new!' -- A new year... a fresh, clean start!' adds Calvin. As they look over the landscape, Hobbes observes 'it's like having a big white sheet of paper to draw on!' -- 'A day full of possibilities!' Calvin affirms. They get ready on their sledge and Calvin tells his friend 'it's a magical world, Hobbes, ol' buddy... let's go exploring!', and the pair sledges off into the wintery landscape.

One of the best quality-of-life "hacks" `jq` has provided is to make it stupid easy to craft parameterized JSON for `curl` calls. It's almost too easy.

When writing strings, #Rlang does not have the option of using triple quotes like in Python. However, since #RStats 4.0 (April 2020) makes it possible to use `r"(...)"`, similar to C++, so you don't have to worry about single or double quotes. stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-...
