Damn, I see a firewire port on there too!

I never really see people doing this, but I've had a great time pitching my tent in the back of my pickup instead of on the ground. You get a perfectly flat surface and some foam or an air mattress make it pretty comfy.

I have a bike I put together with this mindset and it's pretty awesome. If any component dies I can replace it individually, even if it's not made by the same company. No reason an electric car couldn't have the same benefits except that the average consumer doesn't care about planning ahead

I rented Superman 64 as a kid, never knowing it was a universally hated game. We had fun with the weird multiplayer mode where you fly around in weird pod things. I remember flying through the rings too. The whole game makes zero sense in hindsight.

I haven't done much low level stuff, but I think the 'main' function is something the compiler uses to establish an entry point for the compiled binary. The name 'main' would not exist in the compiled binary at all, but the function itself would still exist. Executable formats aren't all the same, so they'll have different ways of determining where this entry point function is expected to be. You can 'run' a binary library file by invoking a function contained therein, which is how DLL files work.

Yeah, he was bamboozled as soon as he agreed to allow multiple separate files. The challenge was bs from the start, but he could have at least nailed it down with more explicit language and by forbidding any exceptions. I think it's kind of ironic that the instructions for a challenge related to different representations of information failed themselves to actually convey the intended information.

Houndstooth Peart?

I bet you'd spend about 14 hours a week doing all that stuff, maybe as little as 7-10. Pessimistically then it's 56 hours of work a month and optimistically it's half that. So he'd be paying you from $31.25 to $62.50 an hour, which ranges from great to ridiculous in favor of you. Personally I wouldn't do it because of the weird dynamic of living with my boss, but there could be a great deal in there for you.

Typescript on the other hand...

Love watching his videos, they go way beyond your average music production youtuber content. I generally think generative AI is an awesome tool in itself, but that it's too ripe for the perversion of capitalistic greed. Like Jordan said in the video, it's pretty disgusting to ingest years worth of hard work and dedication from many artists and then use the resulting model to compete with those same artists. I optimistically predict that the current approach to AI will never do much better than the grey slop it currently shits out, though.

Radiohead, especially In Rainbows. They have amazing melancholy music that also has a groove to it.

Yeah but like, what new features do apps have which weren't available in those times? Embedded videos maybe? Doesn't justify the bloat.
