    RIP , who influenced the strategy of an entire generation of founders. Christensen's term “disruptive” is used loosely today to mean any big change—but it actually has a precise, technical meaning. In honor of his legacy, here's what “disruptive” actually means:

    If you don't totally get floating point numbers, but kinda know the basic idea, this is a good thing to play with:

    I think this is a useful metric, because at numbers much higher than 1moo (such as Drive's 4.5moo), it means Google could just put their servers on the moon, and I wouldn't know the difference. The experience of waiting 4.5moo and 5.5moo is similarly eternal to an end user.

    Proposal for a new metric: The Moon Unit, or "moo", which is equal to 2.71321035034 seconds, the maximum ping time to the moon. It's a measure for web technologies, like Google Drive, which regularly takes around 4.5moo to list the first 50 files in a directory.

    Consider: millions of years ago our antecedents gave a massive sacrifice of their left hemisphere. We lost a tremendous amount of short term memory and replaced it with Broca’s, Wernicke & the phonological loop. But why? So we can—talk. Thus chimpanzees can do this—we can’t:

    As we come into 2020, I am now pretty sure I picked the wrong career. If I had known what computers were going to become, I probably wouldn't have wanted to be a programmer. It is definitely no longer a career for people who take pride in their work.

    And I am like, why do none of these people realize the same thing is true about software? Why do they keep multiplying software into thousands and thousands of parts, rather than trying to build the electric car of software?

    I sometimes get e-mails asking to do ad placement on . For the record, the current price is $2,690,000 US per 30-second spot (same pricing as the Super Bowl). Very reasonable.

    PSA: 's spam filter, like all of Google's products, has continued to degrade and is now quite unreliable. You may not be checking your spam folder anymore because it used to be good, but I now find that _many_ legitimate personal emails from real people go into spam.

    Running a small conference with accessible ticket prices free of corporate branding is a daunting, grueling, unprofitable job. Hats off to who did it anyway and gave people from literally all over the globe a great 2019!

    (a) This is super cool. It is not very often that we discover something new about basic linear algebra. (b) Why is it acceptable to publish an entire news article about the discovery of an equation, and not ever show the equation?

    Computers today are amazingly fast. They should be able to compile programs almost instantly, for any reasonable program size. If they aren't doing that, it's the sign of a problem.
