A new, more energy efficient transistor may cut global digital energy consumption and make devices smaller and cooler. "You spin me right 'round, baby, right 'round"
And of course there had to be magnets involved.

Maybe. We've seen other transistor "replacements" come and go.

I'm glad that they're giving such consideration to innovation in the usability and reliability space. I'm sure the new wallpapers will make a big difference.
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

While the Dunning-Kruger Effect might not be a real thing, the problem of people mis-estimating their own level of understanding certainly is. I just usually bang my head against the keyboard until it compiles

I find that I surprise myself by implementing something I didn't think I understood, whether it was LR table generation, GLR workers, or even NFA/DFA state machines. I implemented them before I thought I understood them.
Based on that, and my history of overestimating how much time things will take me, and based on comments I hear from others about my coding ability vs. my own honest perception of it I feel like I underestimate my own abilities.
I don't know though, because in more recent years I've become more confident. I've had a lot of victories and a lot of affirmation though so there's that.
To err is human. Fortune favors the monsters.

In my opinion... Yes, definitivelly. You do. 
I would be happy to understand the half of what you do.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

It has since occurred to me just how much I learn by spelunking Other People's Code and reimplementing whatever it does myself, even it means porting and modifying - through that process I begin to understand it, and then the concepts behind it.
I'm not sure how well it works for you, but it helps a lot in my case.

There are two kind of programmers:
Those who know how stupid they are and those who don't. I have no idea which one I am.

Chumsky has a tutorial that teaches you how to write a parser and interpreter for a simple dynamic language with unary and binary operators, operator precedence, functions, let declarations, and calls. If everyone else is creating their own languages, maybe you should as well?

I put Windows 11 on my new machine. If you don't have to move to Windows 11 stick with Windows 10. The start menu in Windows 11 looks like Sinofsky (remember the Windows 8 UI debacle) designed it.

Just wanted to point out that it was Julie Larson-Green that was over the Metro UI development.
She also designed the ribbon command bar[^].

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Crypto entrepreneur Sina Estavi bought Twitter founder Jack Dorsey’s first-ever tweet as an NFT for $2.9 million last year. He listed the NFT for sale again at $48 million last week. *snort* giggle
I also may have gone with "Hee-haw, hee-haw, hee ha-ha-ha-hah", figured few would get the reference

Quote: Estavi has two days to accept the bid, or it will expire.
I thought once you put something up for auction, and it was bid on, you had to accept the highest offer. I guess I was wrong, or it doesn't apply if you are rich. In this case, even though it is purely hypocritical of me, the auction house should charge him 30% of the 2.4 mill for their 'work.'

Not if you enter a "reserve price", i.e. a minimal price at which you are willing to sell. The danger here is that you typically owe the auction price a percentage of the sale price. If the bidding doesn't reach the "reserve price", you owe them that percentage of the "reserve price".

Thanks! I'm a neophyte at auctioning - I've heard their cut is way too much.

A few years ago, Bruce Maggs and colleagues decided to take on a challenge: building a speed-of-light internet. Researcher rediscovers microwave towers, collects grant
And makes popcorn
"Assuming a hypothetical budget of 3,000 towers spaced roughly 40 to 60 miles apart, the team figured out the best way to beam signals from tower to tower along the shortest possible paths, and without things like hills or buildings or trees getting in the way." Simple!
