TIL: For any prime number p >= 5, p²-1 is divisible by 24.

That's cool.

Isn't it?

Yes it is.

Usually I don't post things older than the late Palaeolithic period, but #insects embedded in amber never cease to amaze me - the sheer age!

This ant preserved in its finest detail is some 50-million-year old.

Found in Gujarat, India.

CI, unit tests, linters, formatters, code review are imperfect but effective safety and productivity tools because they do not require a state of constant hypervigilance.

Before AI, I felt like I could review PRs and, based on whose code I was reviewing, I could be more trusting and casual with my review, since I knew they usually wrote good code and paid attention to details. Now, with AI, no one pays attention to details, so I have to deeply scrutinize every PR, which takes twice or 3x the effort.

AI agents almost always add things that aren’t necessary, or they follow anti-patterns based on the surrounding legacy code context.

@ocramius @Crell @bagder What would be the point, one wonders.

Real fun would be doing it the other way round. Recreating proprietary code bases in FLOSS ways.

@aral @ben I've always admired people who put two spaces after the end of every sentence. Acknowledging how a sentence is a building block. The sophistication, the gravitas.

(actually not being ironic here. for the most part)

In my online undergraduate P5.js course, students are about to begin the module on motion and physics, including a bit of physics simulation using Matter.js. It suddenly occurred to me that I had never seen anybody put together this particular demo before, and I realized it had to be done.
