https://www.ckuhl.com/weblog/ It's intentionally obtuse, like ripping out the first page out of a notebook, so that I don't have an excuse _not_ to fill out the rest of the pages. It's already ruined, so

And yet, what is harder to attain and yet more necessary than the knowledge and impetus to implement such a project? It may not be necessary, but the specific tools are't the part that are necessary.

I think the real problem is that in a lot of companies, there’s a huge institutional inertia towards adding a new supplier vs. paying an existing supplier slightly more.

I think the biggest advantage scooters have over ebikes is that for a lot of people, there’s a place to store a scooter at both ends of a commute (under a desk) but not necessarily secure bike storage.

Not paying a middleman a percentage of the transaction would have some value to it.

I think it definitely depends on your use-case. Like you wrote, if everything else you have open also churns through battery life, it's unlikely having Slack open will make a difference. However, if your other applications are a termin

I can’t find a reference of the top of my head, but I recall s Logitech mouse(!) also installed a local web server.

It definitely negatively affects the battery life of my 2018 MBP. Using only native applications, I can get a full days work done. If I have Slack open, usually I can only work until noon.

The definition of what a suburban area is in North America vs. Europe are so different they really need different words. A typical suburb in the US will have no public transportation, and be so sprawled out that bicycling or walking between

To me that argument doesn't make sense... It seems like arguing that because there are wheelchairs that can climb staircases, there's no need to make buildings wheelchair accessible. I thing the problem with this argument is that

The problem is that _everyone else uses Google_. Even though I don’t use Google for search, my friends do and they’ll gladly share AMP pages with me.

Do you ever wonder if Apple attracts the wealthiest mobile consumers because of the controlled user experience they provide?

Companies could absolutely disallow / block it. However they most likely won't for the same reason that people who are upset about Apple's 30% App Store cut still develop apps for iOS: they have their customers spend far more

From a nonexpert viewpoint, that sounds somewhat similar to how fracking works. Do you think there’s a similar risk of the ground settling as material is removed?

Oh it definitely does. I remember seriously messing up a Linux Mint installation a while back because I upgraded all of the 3rd party dependencies that were preinstalled (because hey, newer is better, right?).

I think compared to the war on drugs, this would be incredibly effective. Social media is all about network effects - the more your friends are on social media, the more you want (/need) to be on it to keep up with them. Putting up a b

In a way it makes sense - if the numbers all had smaller prime factors, they probably would have been found sooner than now, and so wouldn't be as remarkable

I have heard before (can't remember where) that a lot of companies won't donate to a project, but would gladly pay for "marketing" if the project simply listed companies that donated to them. I'm not sure if that wo

That’s assuming the rest of the endowment isn’t reinvested. You’d need less than a 2% annual return on that $22B to fund the tuition in perpetuity.

App Store on iOS feels safe Does it feel safe or is it actually safe? A big part of Apple's competitive advantage is the quality it provides (real or perceived). If an app provides a subpar experience, they can yank it from t

That is a fair point. Since I was doing something kind of CMS focused, Django fit the bill. I suppose if you were doing something orthogonal to that, it would be better to have the flexibility of Flask.

The real value of Flask is that it makes you appreciate what Django does by default. When I first started learning Python / web frameworks, I went with Flask because it was smaller and "simpler". As my project grew however, I

I would disagree that federated social networks would face the same pressure to increase time spent on their sites. By the nature of federation, a sort of marketplace of social sites would allow people to move to whatever serves them best (
