    (Separately, I *also* love the way that errors -- like the one here -- include a debug URL. In addition to helping the developer fix things, access patterns to those URLs give us practical telemetry about what's causing confusion so that we can make improvements.)

    👏 for taking error messages seriously. Error messages are foundational to developer quality of life.

    ‘Eat local’ is common advice for a low-carbon diet. But this has little impact on your carbon footprint. Transport accounts for only 6% of food emissions. Focus instead on *what* you eat. Food choices > food miles. Latest article:

    I often think about how this quote applies to me: “It is difficult to get a man (sic) to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it.” - Upton Sinclair

    To the coffee industry, 6 ounces is not a cup. To the wood industry, 1 is not 3/4, 4 is not 3.5, 2 is not... nevermind.

    Beyond that, humans build social and physical structures along shared narrative prototypes of the world. Hence, different groups literally see different worlds, all energy-minimizing.

    Because narrative prototypes are expensive to construct or modify, it appears our brain will reject input that doesn't map to our existing compression prototypes (confirmation bias). Or we will fill in parts of the world so that they match.

    Production of these linear, narrative structures seem to be automatic. We can't help but force narratives on the world, even with random events (the narrative fallacy). We seemly can't process raw input. It is all intermediated by our energy-minimizing, compression hardware.

    Other parts of the brain, which are responsible for high-level reasoning, have equipment to construct narrative structures that reduce complex causal relationships into simple, linear ones. These structures have the same energy-minimization requirements as the built-in ones.

    Some parts of the brain, like the eye, seem to have many sophisticated, hard-wired prototypes (e.g. depth recognition cues like parallax, surface texture) that have evolved over billions of years.

    The brain seems to be a compression engine that maps sensory input to compression "prototypes".

    Let me present you a fast, modern JavaScript port of Jonathan Shewchuk's legendary robust geometric predicates — an industry standard in computational geometry for 23 years! Had a ton of fun building this over the weekend. 🔥

    Let's get rid of load- and start-screens alltogether, default should be to put the player right into the game as fast as possible, with as few UI interactions as possible.

    Impressive comprehensive review of bites in Florida. Takeaways: gators bite more when it's warm, most victims are adult male Florida residents in or near water, and 1/3 of bites are related to people feeding gators

    Dear map people, Routing is the most powerful tool we have to reduce the environmental impact of driving, make cities quieter, safer, and more livable, and fight congestion. And you are blowing it.
