    When loading a page, I wish browsers would display the status code of the HTTP response. I'm not a fan of staring at a blank screen for 5 seconds only to see a very ornate 404 page.

    Fun fact: The refractive index of silica is 1.55 and the refractive index of methamphetamine crystal is 1.50. That means that fiber optic cables made of meth would have slightly lower latency. 🤔

    Veteran: "You should apt-get install sl." Newbie: "What does sl do?" Veteran: (perfectly straight face) "It trains you."

    Just a reminder: At some point in your life, even if everything goes right, someone is going to ask, "Do you have grandkids?" Future you is going to answer that question. Maybe you'll say, "Yes." or "No." or "Soon." or "It's complicated." 😬 That day is coming. Get ready.

    I watched The Dawn Wall last night. Tommy Caldwell's life is ridiculous. First he became the best rock climber. Then he got kidnapped by Kyrgyzstani rebels & saved everyone (incl his girlfriend) by pushing one off a cliff. Then he lost an index finger but got better at climbing.

    My friend (joking): "What was the name of it again? Stranger in a Strange Car?" Me: "I'm pretty sure that's called Uber."

    The composer of the Doom 2016 soundtrack gave a talk about how he made it. Even if you have no musical knowledge, the whole thing is pretty interesting. His main points: "Become comfortable with failure." and "Change the process, change the outcome."

    Last year I donated to the Sway hackathon. Today, Sway 1.0 was released: I'm proud to have contributed a few patches, but real work is done by the core devs. Sway is what it is because of their high standards & solid technical skills. Well done!

    Most people don't like to hear recordings of their own voices. I wonder if that's true for people with great voices. Maybe Morgan Freeman watches March of the Penguins and thinks, "I can't stand this. I don't sound nearly as cool as I thought."

    Ha ha, you fool! You fell victim to one of the classic blunders! The most famous of which is, "Never get involved in a land war in Asia." But only *slightly* less well-known is this: "Never go in against Bryan Caplan when MONEY is on the line!"

    This presentation on 's combustion simulation is very impressive. They had to combine technologies from multiple domains to get efficient and accurate simulation of rocket engines:

    I'm still amazed that Alex Honnold managed to climb a 3,200ft granite wall in 4 hours... without a rope. If I climbed a ladder for 4 hours I'm sure I'd slip and fall at some point.

    Free Solo is really good. Not only does it document one of the greatest athletic feats ever, but it shows the life of a true monomaniac (and generally weird dude). In that way it reminds me of Jiro Dreams of Sushi. You can buy it on Amazon Prime or iTunes:

    I enjoyed reading *Giant Killer*, a sci-fi short from 1945. It's fun to notice which parts of the story have become dated and which are totally at home in 2019. Thanks goes to for finding this.

    I hope there's an episode of Tidying Up with Marie Kondo where she goes to a hospital's emergency department and throws out all medical equipment except defibrillators. Because nothing else sparks joy in your heart.

    At least with Uber or Lyft I could get a refund. BART is absurd.
