Schools should forbid grading on a curve. MIT does, for example. Standards should be absolute.

For a side project, I used Iroh to give my web server in the cloud the ability to print directly to my label printer at home. The API is simple and easy to use. It took no time to write a reliable system on top of Iroh.

So much work is done for HIPAA compliance, and then the only authentication required is a birth date.

If you're interested in efforts to catalog and even deflect asteroids that might hit Earth:

The ".ai" stands for "Asteroid Institute." It was started by two former astronauts, Ed Lu and Rusty Schweickart.

Actually, they do have an incentive to let you turn off ads. If they don't, many users will turn off notifications entirely. At least if they categorize them, some users will just turn off the bothersome ones.

I second your recommendation. I watched it last night, and loved it. It was beautiful to see the level of competence and devotion of the tiny group running the spacecraft.

This makes me nostalgic for my 4K TRS-80 Model I with cassette tape. There was something beautiful about having control over everything, and even the tight constraints were sometimes fun.

I love Waymo. Using the word "impact" is unfortunate.

Thank you for saying that. I regularly attend the International Conference on Functional Programming, which grew out of the LISP and Functional Programming conference. Except for the Scheme Workshop, which is the reason I attend, it might as well be called the International Conference on Static Types. Almost all of the benefits of functional programming come from functional programming itself, not from static types, but one would never get that impression from the papers presented there. The types are all that anyone talks about.

Yes, especially in a city like San Francisco where so many cultures come together: the Prius culture, the BMW culture, the Subaru culture, etc.
