100%. I think the article makes space for this, too. In 3, 4, and 5 the author describes the experience of bouncing off of something despite trying to like it as well as _thinking_ you like something despite not _really_ liking it. Both

I have a qwerty keyboard also and all I have done to change my layout is remap caps lock to escape. Which is definitely vim relevant. I am a vim guy.

Will I finally be able to ask my car factual questions while driving? Right now android auto's assistant experience is way worse than on my phone or watch, so I end up having to use one of those (if it's important enough, otherwi

Based on a cursory search, I get the impression they haven't solved the particular cleaning problem the author did (i.e. removing places that just have restaurants rather than actually are restaurants). In one case on my food & dr

Apologies if my timings are off in this comment. They should be close enough to make my point, but it can be hard to find the actual dates. I have run a Synapse server for almost 8 years, by my reckoning. For most of that time I have been

I feel the point is a bit subtler. We should strive for improvement. We should also understand that that takes more than the normal amount of resources to do something different and better & either commit to spending what's requi

That seems like the real problem with Spotify shuffle. The thing that feels un-random about it is that it plays the exact same songs over and over again despite the humongous size of the playlist. It's not that it plays the same arti

The discount rate is doing a lot of work here. There is a discount rate such that we're not talking about shortsightedness. Getting it right is difficult. But as an example, how much would you buy an investment that pays a hundred d

As a Neovim afficionado - I think you lose some credibility recommending it as an alternative to VSCode and Sublime. They're different beasts. I imagine a lot of people would be immediately turned off if they were expecting a VSCode&

I'm not the person you're asking, but at least for me: I went nowhere. I don't have something that is as good as Reddit at keeping me informed now.

Then you run into the differences between implementations. No one implements the whole standard. The company I work for had a bug driven by the underscores-in-numbers and scientific notation functionality (`20230101000000_e111111`, a times

Some of the interest rates I've seen on federal student loans - 7+% - seem exorbitant in general but particularly because the lender takes no risk. 7% interest on a loan in a year with 3% inflation (the real cost of having money that y

For ESP chips in general, the Rust on ESP Book [0] is pretty solid. Little short. I've been playing with writing a Watchy firmware in Rust (Watchy uses the dual-Xtensa ESP32-PICO-D4), and this was a great starting point. [0] https:&

The alternative here is that people are more of a burden on the community, not less. It's more disruptive to have noobs asking the same questions and having to be answered by community members every time. At least from where I sit. I

> You do not need FP to use pure functions I think this is a bit more subtle, and a bit less interesting to say, than you're thinking it is and responding to. You need to be impure in OOP world but not in every function you write.

I bet it's control groups. The FDA thinks similarly. In late 2021, they canceled trials of Paxlovid because it was immoral to have a control group. They did not then _waive the trial requirement_, meaning Paxlovid was both too proven

That's a good point. With those examples though I think being a member of multiple communities and discovering, joining, and leaving communities as desired is much lower friction compared to fediverse servers.

Not the person your question was to, but: I use Paperless myself, but Mayan EDMS is another option. OCR kinda sucks as a rule, but it's better than the big ol' firesafe I used to have.

The actual text says that you can't "publicly disseminate information regarding the performance of the Cloud Products". So no interpretation required; posting the stats is enough.
