Reading Graham's essays on writing always puts me in mind of the videos where Mexican moms react to Rachael Ray trying to cook (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zFN2g1FBgVA), or a Malaysian guy has to watch a BBC cook make rice (https://youtu.be/53me-ICi_f8?si=0AaZ82dk_AYFqJAx&t=226).
It helps when you never question if, as in his own essay describing other ‘bad writers’ weaving falsehoods, you’re the one lying to yourself.
TimSchumann commented on How (memory) safe is Zig? (2021) scattered-thoughts.net/wr... · Posted by u/vortex_ape
What that means, though, is that you have a choice between defining memory unsafely away completely with Rust or Swift, or trying to catch memory problems by a writing a bunch of additional code in Zig.
I’d argue that ‘a bunch of additional code’ to solve for memory safety is exactly what you’re doing in the ‘defining memory safety away’ example with Rust or Swift.
It’s just code you didn’t write and thus likely don’t understand as well.
This can potentially lead to performance and/or control flow issues that get incredibly difficult to debug.

You must mean CuriosityStream because most of my favourite Nebula creators are also YouTubers. Usually, the Nebula version of their video is slightly longer, too.
It could be a time based clause. Nebula exclusive for two weeks prior to any other upload, etc

Nebula, its arms open.
IIRC Nebula has an exclusivity clause in their contract not allowing content creators to upload to other platforms, though I could be thinking of CuriosityStream.

Didn’t know the people behind the mp3 format were into tooling for metalworking. Guess it makes sense, it involves a practical application for use of sound, and they are a research institution.
I wonder if the metal can hear the difference if it’s not the full 192 kHz.
Besides the color temperature, they are way too bright. It's like daylight in front of my house since they changed the lamps.
They shine through my windows at night and are truly horrific.
They’re down the entire alleyway behind my place, and a walk to the grocery store at 7pm during the winter makes your body and mind think it’s sunrise.
