There's no mention of the word "testosterone" in that article?

Being locked into a specific cloud is usually nowhere near the top of threats to a startup.

Request for startup: Tinder in the US that isn't utter garbage. Maybe you can find a cofounder on this platform :)

Excellent, thank you! The swiping model didn't feel like an ideal solution for the task.

Yes! YC calls them "scenesters", but the reality is that often you don't know if you're cut out for the gig until you actually do it, so lots of people have to experience it first-hand to realize they don't actually

Similar situation here, thanks for sharing your journey this last time around, I'll have to reuse some of those ideas myself.

There was a similar case in Italy regarding its own version of the 90s satanic panic, which led to dozens of kids separated from their parents, parents committing suicide from shame and grief, an overall travesty of justice. Until Pablo Tri

Incredible work with this article. I didn't realize experiences like that were even possible in the browser without a whole company backing the effort.

> We're in the desert? Do the stereotypical Arabic singing sting! It's interesting you say that because Hans Zimmer specifically said in an interview they tried their best to dodge the cliche' middle eastern musical tropes

I'm also a big fan of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warnock%27s_dilemma , which I wish had gotten more traction over the years.

Are there any examples of successful companies out there with no Twitter presence? I've always wondered if the downsides of being exposed to the Twitter outrage machine as a brand are greater than whatever a company and their staff hav

Wonderful blog, I'm in awe of people who can consistently write quality posts like this year after year.

Steve is a national treasure, I've been a happy supporter on Patreon for years. I love how perfectly consistent he is with his catchphrases.

I had the same happen to a mid-tier brand portable bluetooth speaker that was charging from the wall outlet on my night stand. Burst into a massive chemical flame right next to me, splattered the wall with molten plastic. It took me a few

I got bitten by a fake SNES Classic off of ebay a few years back. I was super excited to play Super Mario RPG on the real thing, only to find out that it was running with all sorts of glitches due to how the clone device had been designed,

The physics of music comes up a bunch in music production. When working with different waveforms, filter types and specific bass frequencies, you always have to make sure you know what your spectrum looks like, or you'll have phase iss

It took me about 3-4 separate attempts over the last 15 years to get music, and only this last couple of years I was finally able to crack the music notation, music theory, and music production nut. I'm by no means pro-level, but I can

I would be surprised if that was the case. Picking on Bezos specifically does a better job at creating drama, than by pointing a finger at a giant faceless organization.

It got you to click, and to create engagement for this article, I wasn't aware of this product's existence and I likely wouldn't have been if not for the clickbait headline that got it to surface. That's a successful mar

What's the recommended way to run nvim on macOS these days? Just run it within Terminal? I recall that unlike on Ubuntu, there was some scrolling lag to it that might have required some tweaking. Not sure if that's the case anymor

Looks like my 5500M GPU draws 10W fewer when I change my external 4K monitor from Scaled (to accommodate for every OS UI element being minuscule) to the display's native resolution. It makes the OS barely usable from a UI standpoint, b

I experience this 100% with writing music. I suspect most of it is around the need for your creation to be good, versus allowing it to be child-like play. If you're able to suspend the need to be good for a moment, you can start to exp

I would love something like this for the longer, boring, predictable drives. For example the I5 drive from LA to SF. That's a pretty straightforward, predictable and mostly uneventful 6h drive that seems straightforward to delegate to

Another example of how bananas the system is: when I go to order prescription refills through my health care provider, it is currently unable to tell me how much it's going to cost me. You're expected to say "Ok, charge me wh

I clearly remember burning CDs up until around 2010, but I never realized that the technology was already around 30 years earlier. I still have rose-colored glasses nostalgia of the days of PC games in large cardboard boxes containing multi

I own that very sling and the attention to detail is exceptional. It's hard to put down. Their clip system is rather convenient as well, including its interoperability with the Manfrotto tripods. They're expensive products, but yo

Is there anything today that feels like a underground scene that's "happening", that is acting as a technological vanguard, that is full of mystique, but that hasn't gone mainstream yet? The demo scene felt like absolute

If you're doing any kind of composition where mixing and mastering are a mandatory component, you're strongly encouraged to have a proper set of cans, or even better, a decent set of monitors. The tech has gotten rather good these

I remember experiencing issues earlier last year with Zoom correctly transmitting the sub bass frequencies in a music production class I was taking. Perhaps that was a user error, but in a craft where getting your frequencies right across t
