After watching The OA, all other shows feel dull and carelessly made.
The OA was designed to be forensically examined, and it's a beautifully insane literary masterpiece. If you haven't seen it, I suggest you read nothing about it and simply start at the first episode.

Here's a useful counterintuitive fact: one 18 inch pizza has more 'pizza' than two 12 inch pizzas
I like this Theory of Everything.
According to conscious realism, reality is an infinite network of interacting conscious agents—the ultimate big data. Spacetime and objects are simply a visualization tool by which some agents compress the data and navigate the network. frontiersin.org/articles/10.…

A pleasant surprises to see on @Replit is how willing devs are to teach each other. Programmers, mostly young (some are 12), are writing fantastic tutorials to teach or answer common questions. Thread:

Current status: using the Intl.RelativeTimeFormat API (available in @v8js v7.1 / Chrome 71) to practice my Spanish skills.
I’m not even kidding.

🔥 The Intl.RelativeTimeFormat API enables localized formatting of relative times (e.g. “yesterday”, “42 seconds ago”, or “in 3 months”) without sacrificing performance.
