Ahh wow this is awesome! Is there a way to deep link to a lat/long?

This is an incredible contribution to the community and it's just... one guy? I kept reading expecting a Series A funding announcement at the bottom. It's a nice reminder: You can use AI to slop cannon at maximum speed, or you can

This is my usage pattern and I agree it works really well. I start almost every conversation by asking Claude to read, not write. Then once it's explored a particular slice I let it rip. This takes a couple minutes (and I suppose I&#x2

I learned to program with KidSIM and later Stagecast Creator, a spin-off of Apple's Advanced Technologies Research Group in the 90s. I'm re-creating it so a new generation can learn the fundamentals of object-oriented programming

I think this is largely the point, this data is absolutely scraped but the people posting want to be found.

Just want to drive by and mention - a friend told me to play DDLC and I was highly skeptical given the anime pin-up girl art style. I eventually gave in and gave it a shot. It's an amazing "playable story" unlike anything I h

That's unfortunate... I feel like every startup I know of just recently switched to Brex. I wonder how many are being kicked off the service.

Ahh this is super cool! Looking at the Visionect product line and their website isn’t entirely clear - do you need to pay a subscription fee for the cloud service that manages the device settings? This would be a great piece of office art b

Great read, but remember this is the guy that also recently authored "Why I'm voting for Kanye West".

Wow, this ignores both the "floor" below which you would not be subject to the wealth tax (in the US, most recently by Elizabeth Warren, this has been discussed as $50M+), and ALSO fails to take into account that you would be grow

Oh jeez this is cool. The least we can do is get this guy a working Macbook Pro to continue his work. Donated!

Hmm, it does make sense, but I think delaying carriers from starting their routes probably put backpressure on the upstream team to complete their work on time. Really hard to say if this is good or bad without more knowledge of the interna

I think that this is a really meaningful step. The ability to find community around a conspiracy theory or a wildly unacceptable belief on a mainstream site reinforces that it is valid. If high schoolers discovering QAnon for the first time

This is great! I wish it was searchable by bank though. I heard that a local bank was making some interesting choices about who they helped through the PPP program and I'd love to pull up all the results by Lender.

Wait, so you can just duplicate an app that has more privileges than your app, modify it, and run it to exploit it's access? This is a pretty glaring security issue actually - after reading this, it seems like Apple's choice to tr

Buried in here there is a nice bit about expanding access to Vote-By-Mail, so that's nice. I know the democratic party has been pushing for this to be mandatory and un-burdened by extra rules for a while: """ If an ind

Wait, are bills always typeset like this? It's no wonder it's 1000 pages, there are only ~150 words per page. This would fit in 300 pages if it was book-set (and that doesn't seem like too much to ask everyone to read before

Hmm - is there a good summary of this argument I could read? I torrented many years ago and it always felt like stealing and still does. Seems more or less equivalent to shoplifting to me from a moral standpoint, would be curious to read in

I realize this may not be the place for this comment, but a few of these comments got me thinking. Human memory is squishy, and that's great. You retain facts + feelings that help you make future decisions and everything else is integr

God do they proof read these articles at all? The image right at the top is captioned: "Workers wearing protective sourround pigs at a farm". Misspelled AND missing a noun :-/

Yeah this is hilarious. I feel like tech companies get away with this because the internet is more "mysterious". This is no different than a chemical plant "accidentally" building a conduit a quarter mile and dumping was

Same! I'd also be curious to hear about production scenarios that would really benefit from Redis going 5x faster. It's pretty darn fast to start with!

This line caught my attention: "The US manufacturing of Mac Pro is made possible following a federal product exclusion Apple is receiving for certain necessary components." Is this sort of a "if you don't make us pay tar

Ahh actually this makes a lot of sense. The thing is, I don't "pair" the scooter I ride - maybe it's Bluetooth LE? Actually, I have an android phone around here somewhere loaded up with a BLE inspector app, gonna see if

The Bird (scooter) iPhone app asked me for Bluetooth. It said something about "nearby scooters" which I think is a flat out lie because you unlock them via QR code? Probably also tracking...

Oh man this is exactly what I've been looking for. Spotify has the "Browse > Concerts" tab which shows upcoming concerts in your zip code for bands you've listened to on Spotify, but I've always wished I could ju

Man what a shame, if they weren't a decade late (both in terms of competition and in terms of folks having trust in Facebook), this could have been cool.

This is super cool! I'd be really curious to see how the messaging to particular demographics compares as well. Wild that the Trump campaign is spending so much money...

Hmm, perhaps - though I feel the distrust progressives in the US feel toward Russia is warranted given their (well investigated) efforts to meddle in US politics, etc. I think xenophobia is more of an /unwarranted/ fear + hatred.
