No one has ever written a FactoryFactoryFactory and deployed it to production, right? This article takes a look at some real Java mishaps.

An Essential Piece to Your Life Resume

Are you sure you even know what your problem is?

In this paper, we describe the research on how perceptual load can affect programming performance in people with symptoms of Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). We asked developers to complete the Barkley Deficits in Executive Functioning Scale…

Talk about the circle of life. It is here. It is there. It is everywhere.

Polyhedral splines is an Blender add-on that can convert quad-dominant mesh into piecewise B-spline patches, and enables artists to edit the shape in real-time.

In eight new papers, the North American Nanohertz Observatory for Gravitational waves (NANOGrav) presents evidence for a gravitational wave background. In this bite, we provide an overview of their results and their implications

One of the most valuable experiments I ever ran was intentionally practicing the skill of making close friends, and this directly led to most of my friends today. This post is the story of that experiment, and distills the lessons learned

John Higgs on the decision to become a full-time writer.

A thinking trap for those of us who are analytical.

On today’s episode of Being Well, Dr. Bessel van der Kolk, the author of The Body Keeps the Score, joins @RickHanson and I to explore how trauma keeps us stuck, and how we can use imagination, self-expression, and creativity to break away from those old…

This 100-year-old binary classification of human interaction holds us back. It's time to move past it.

A real-world dataset, with hyper-accurate digital counterpart & comprehensive ground-truth annotation

Human Shader, computing a shader image by hand

I wrote recently about the turmoil in the field of higher-temperature superconductors, but little did I know what was coming. Yesterday two preprints appeared on the rXiv site, the first bearing the attention-getting noscript “The First Room-Temperature Ambient…

Yesterday we had a super fun meetup here at Intercom in Dublin.  We split up into small discussion groups and talked about things related to managing teams and being a senior individual contributor…

In 2022, millions of fish died in the Oder river. The reasons were mysterious at first. A year later, we see clearer - and we know how to help! Together with our partner @RewildingOderDelta, we’re…

National Lab (LBNL) results support LK-99 as a room-temperature ambient-pressure superconductor.

Simulations published 1 hour ago on arxiv support LK-99 as the holy grail of modern material science and applied physics.

Here's…

I've worked with superconductors for the better part of a decade now in different contexts, from STM condensed matter labs, to particle accelerators, and now fusion.

Time for a deep dive on what exactly this miracle-technology unlocks for us a species: 🧵

I went on a hunt to find the "Meteors" loading animation from Netscape back in the 90s, and wrote up my adventure.
