Some things I noticed 08/15/2020:
- “You can do anything with cherry picked examples.“
- “today’s mainstream cinema is all about making things relatable for the modern viewer“
- “The Laplace Transform is a one-sided weighted fourier transform for badly behaved functions.“
- “Masonic secrecy is not a way of hiding anything at all. It is the wrapping and not what it contains that is key.“
- “For fifty years it was the largest radio-telescope in the world, it has only been recently superseded by a Chinese telescope.“
- “Drovorub is a ‘swiss-army knife’ of capabilities that allows the attacker to steal files and remote control the victim’s computer“
- “HN runs on one server. Actually the app server (written in Arc) runs on one core. But we have some caching in front of that for logged-out users.“
- “the debate is whether Epic has the right to include a direct-payments service in its app, circumventing Apple’s and Google’s payments systems“
- “The most over-engineered post in somebody’s garden.“
- “What in the world do we have at a quarter to four?“
