I like interesting facts, podcasts, and anime. I'm most interested in software development, cosmology, and sciences in general. he/him
Episode "Wild West" – 5th in series W, it included a segment about square wheels, aired a couple of weeks ago. Part of it is on Instagram: www.instagram.com/bbciplayer/r...

P.S. Surprisingly, it wasn't in the episode "Wings and Wheels". Got cut for time, maybe?

As I’ve said before with similar games: I stand with the weirdos on this stuff. Don’t take my vanilla output as quiet complicity with censorship of interesting work, take it as a sign of how inherently boring I am as a person.

"Effective Java" by Joshua Bloch. Though technically focused on one language, a big portion of it is language-agnostic advice, all with "why" explanations.

It's a must-read if you want to work with JVM languages: Java, Kotlin, Scala, Groovy, Clojure, etc

I'm sorry I misunderstood your usage of punctuation. That's my bad.

There's nothing special about bad UX design, it's ubiquitous.

I just want people to know how to deal with this specific issue.

On Android: long tap on the image > Share image > Google Lens. If "Share image" doesn't show up in the context menu, make a screenshot and share it to Google Lens.

I'd wager Google Lens for iPhone can do the same. Maybe even Apple's Apple Intelligence can do it.

For lots of reasons, I don’t like LLMs and I don’t use them, but I know there are serious people working on ways to meaningfully incorporate them into education and I don’t doubt there are ways to do that productively. It’s probably obvious that “Have the LLM tell you the answer” isn’t one of them.

not really, the "you" on the chart can be interpreted as "plural you" or "singular you" on each axis
