¿Sabéis qué? Aún no tengo tiempo, pero he decidido montar la web y que funcione DURANTE UN SOLO MES (como cuando en el teatro hacen temporadas limitadas.) Durante el mes de marzo, podréis ver las noticias que pegué en el hilo de debajo, y muchas más, en esarroba.es ¡Corred la voz, que dura poco!

Debería haber unha páxina web que fora o contido de Reddit hai 20 anos para que os novos viran que o que pasa agora xa pasou antes, e para que non cometan os mesmos erros ca nós.

Os acordáis de cuando érais críos y salía en las noticias que los adolescentes usan pulseras o cromos como un código y que el rojo significa que hace una mamada y el marrón que se deja encular, y luego resultaba que ninguno de tus amigos había oído jamás de eso y que simplemente los cromos molaban.

Problema problemático: Anteayer llené el depósito del coche a 1.50 euros/litro. Ayer lo tenía a medias y lo volví a llenar a 1.40 euros/litro. Hoy la gasofa cuesta 1.60 euros/litro pero no he echado ninguna. ¿Cuanto vale la gasolina que tengo en el depósito del coche?

The Telegram guy: “Im gonna send a message to everyone in Spain telling them what a big meany their prime minister is” My Telegram:

Lo de vivir en EEUU mientras veo las noticias españolas es un morirse porque veo que la extrema derecha pone en práctica en España las mismas movidas que ya afinó aquí. Por ejemplo, la gilipollez de "felices fiestas", aquí llevan VEINTE AÑOS dando la tabarra con eso.

Go 1.26 is out with new features! I guess that means that I won't have to type up these two functions ever again: func ptr[T any](t T) *T { return &t } func ErrorAs[E error](err error) (out E, ok bool) { ok = errors.As(err, &out) return }

"Shadows of the Afterland" comes out tomorrow! A supernatural comedy mystery point-and-click game made by my friends @arumastudios.bsky.social . The protagonist died in Madrid in the 1960s and, as a detective, wants to investigate her own death. Which will be hard because she wasn't born yet (!)

El debate es a la democracia lo que las carreras de Formula 1 son al transporte por carretera. No resultan en nada duradero o importante y sólo sirven para que se luzca el ganador. Mejor haríamos si no les diésemos la importancia que no tienen.

Bravery is contagious.

Para los que me leen y necesitan un poco de esperanza. Ha habido una elección especial para el Senado de Texas en una circunscripción en la que Trump ganó por 17 puntos el año pasado. Pues esta elección la acaba de ganar el candidato demócrata por 14 puntos. Esto pinta bien para noviembre.

I'm laughing at myself reading some of the emails and thinking of how I would have reacted back then if someone were like "you should meet my friend Jeffrey". "Who's he?", I would have asked. "He's in real estate." "I'm not interested in buying a house." "No, he knows people." "So do I."

My "don't make oligarch jokes" T-shirt is raising many questions already answered by my "the previous owner of my company fell off a window and all I got was this company, a boarding school for my kids mere steps from the KGB headquarters, and this T-shirt."

My three-year-old: “Draw a square!” Me, thinking myself so clever:

Fahrenheit.

To expand on this: people only have as much power as you give them. If you think they'll be able to violate court orders without consequence, and act like that's true, you are only making it easier for them to do so. By forcing them to follow the rules at every step, you don't give them the power.

But he *did* have a fruitful conversation with his friends across the aisle, so...

I think some of the people pushing AI should tell us why we don't fly supersonic airliners anymore.

“Having reviewed the docket, we have a duty of candor to all parties which requires us to speak some simple, but hard, truths.” Uh-oh.

Hace tiempo pensé en hacer una web de noticias tecnológicas de broma, pero con todo lo que está cayendo no sé de dónde sacaría el tiempo, así que en su lugar voy a ir pegando aquí algunas de las "noticias" que he ido recopilando.

The extended version of the GBBO theme song rocks quite hard, but there is a special place in my heart for the homage-to-Wendy Carlos synthesizer bit between timestamps 12:05 and 14:47.

Just made a literal empty promise to my 3-year-old daughter: "Eat your dinner and then you can, ok?"

I had a Fast Fourier Transform routine I was quite happy with, then this week I tweaked it and became a Faster Fourier Transform. Nice what some loop unrolling and adding some extra code for the 4-point FFT will do. And I think there's still plenty of speedup left in that, should I ever need it.

I've just published a new version of my web-based RTL-SDR library, www.npmjs.com/package/@jta... It is now powered by my new DSP library, www.npmjs.com/package/@jta..., which has Tests and all those nice things, and you can use to demodulate signals from *any* source, not just RTL-SDR dongles!

Reward the behaviors you want!

If you want to increase your walkie talkie's range, connect two batteries in series to double their voltage. Since power goes up with the square of the voltage, your 5 watt Baofeng will have 20 watts! Follow me for more prepper tips that the government doesn't want you to know.

"average blue sky user doesn't get jokes" factoid actualy just statistical error. average person gets 1 joke per joke. Earnest Georg, who thinks every post is for him & has 10,000 jokes go over his head every day, is an outlier and should not have been counted.

Today I saw a response to an NPR piece (about Maduro pleading not guilty) saying something like "if he was gonna do that, why did he even bother going to court" and I envy the world that person lives in.

A plane just flew low over Manhattan, and I thought that was super duper illegal since 2001.

Muchos sabéis que Trump no es santo de mi devoción, pero cuando hace algo bien hay que reconocerlo. Así que cuando haga algo bien, ya lo reconoceré.

Someone in the basement of the Cuban ministry of defense, opening a folder that says "Mar-a-Lago" on the front.

Thanks for the update.

"What was your biggest impact on the Internet?" I wrote the JS code for Google+'s social widgets. At one point, "I" was on every Google property (including search) and on every webpage on the Internet that included a +1 button, an "add me to your circles" widget, etc. So not a very lasting impact.

Es que no lo entendéis. La chica ahorró para la entrada del primer piso metiendo el dinero del café en un fondo de inversión. Un simple cálculo nos revela que ella dejó de gastar 100 euros diarios en café y que el fondo rentaba un 35% anual. Una vez más se demuestra que no ahorra el que no quiere.

El anuncio original del Nescafé Capuccino (con el italiano diciendo "cremoso, delizioso") duraba 6 minutos 47 segundos pero consiguieron dejarlo en 20 cuando recortaron la parte en la que el italiano nos prohibía en los términos más tajantes tomarlo después del desayuno.

I love it when they combine "use it now or get left behind" with "oh you tried it six months ago and it didn't work for you? You should try again, it's completely different now"

Or, as I often say, it's 2025 and we are using Unix (1970) or Windows NT (1990) to access the web (1990) and run a server-side rendered web app (1960) or a client-side rendered AJAX app (1964).

I hope he makes a full and quick recovery and then never has to pay for drinks or food ever again.

Has anyone ever made an Earth sandwich where both pieces of bread came from the same loaf?

How the hell is Emil Bove younger than me? He looks like three ghosts will visit him in a couple of weeks.

Refining my pita recipe!

We haven't done anything new with computers since the Internet became popular. We all still use Unix and Windows. Someone who used either in 1995 could pick it right back up now. Java, JavaScript, PHP, Ruby, Python are all older than C, Pascal, Scheme and SQL were when they were invented.

"This new French style of expressing disagreement by throwing ingredients for pancakes should be called discrêpancy."

It's been twice already that my carefully crafted DSP function that uses arithmetic operations only turns out to be slower than the "naive" version that uses Math.sin and Math.cos and Math.atan up the wazoo. That wasn't the case 13 years ago! (Continues)

I was just thinking back to the 90s when magazines wrote about the Information Superhighway, we didn't know what to call the @ sign in Spanish, and Nicholas Negroponte kept writing the same essay about how airlines will know you need to go to your dad's funeral so they'll jack up the prices for you.

This is my "Big O is not a Big Deal" thread. It is about algorithms. An algorithm consists of a sequence of steps that convert an input into an output. Algorithms are theoretical: they are not programs, but recipes to build programs.

Me: The way algorithms are taught is wrong. Them: Yeah! With so many irrelevant details like... [In unison] Me: ...that the word "algorithm" comes from Al-Khwarizmi Them: ... big O notation Me: What? Them: What?

Me, generalist SWE, trying to build a PLL routine for my radio signal demodulator library, getting it consistently locked on frequency but mysteriously out of phase. Any real DSP engineer, probably: "you got phase shift in your filter." Me, three days later: "oops, I got phase shift in my filter."

For me, it's the fact that he built a whole fleet of space rockets and never went up to space, unlike Richard Branson and Jeff Bezos, who nearly had to be tied down so they wouldn't go in the prototypes.

Two and a half years later, and everybody still appends "(formerly Twitter)" after the name. Great rebrand, great rebrand...
