Rhinestone! I just watched for first time the other day. I had made my partner watch Rocky to see a different side of Stallone, and she is a huge Dolly Parton fan. Rhinestone was hilarious and great to watch just because Stallone and Parton

1. Cannot create account because the CSP policy on the site blocks its own captcha. 2. The github repo URL is a 404, as is Releases and Issues links. I was hoping this would satisfy a need so I didn't have to build a full tool myself.

Neat! Installed this for Claude Code and am adding Codex support to offer back, assuming it works out. Great tool idea and looking forward to seeing it in operation over the next few days. The 'audit' command is a great feature id

I've been on Zoho for my (and my partner's) email for 4+ years and it has been great. Chose them because there is no per-domain charge, so I have like 12 domains on it. The configurability is extensive in both web app and ios emai

It definitely affected hiring. I work at a startup that is self-funded, profitable, and at about 24 people. The tax change increased our tax bill by around $125k, so that's an engineer we couldn't hire. Made me glad our founders a

Thank you for sharing that. It's a beautiful set of ideas. I read it aloud to my wife and we're talking about it now the implications for all knowledge levels. Fascinating thing to share.

Indeed. At a former employer, when they announced removing free soda, I assumed they were about to stagnate very hard. Compared to the costs and profits of flying hundreds of sales engineers around weekly and any executive-level expenses th

This is incredible software. Thank you for linking to it. It has features I've long wished for in a laptop!

And in those more complex interactions there is not enough adjustment capability. I often want Alexa to speak faster or just shorter (reduce filler words and pauses). There's no way (I am aware of) to make it more efficient for the det

In 8th grade I read a book on Zinc and it projected the world's supply would run out by ~1985. The book was published in like 1970 and I was reading it in 1994. Since then I've had a big of skepticism of "it's running ou

There's an older short story "Thirteen to Centaurus" by JG Ballard with an interesting take on this.

I have a strong memory of using an IDE that behaved like this - using size and font to communicate structure - at a job around 2005. I can't currently remember the name but think it it started with 'source'? If someone else r

Thanks for explaining that. I feel like I heard about the "Tweel" in the 90s in Popular Mechanics, and occasionally since then.

A new novel by Derek Kunsken called "House of Styx" explores in detail human habitation of Venus. In floating cities and airships and realistically dealing with pressures, temps, and the acidity of the atmosphere.

Same in healthcare. I work in one of the EMR companies, usually onsite at clients, and the whole operation is appalling in wasted human time and just cash wasted on stupid things.

This argument against checklists would apply anywhere for checklists: healthcare, airplane pre-flights, auto mechanics. Checklists enforce a minimum set of thought processes. Suggesting checklists be discarded because some people don't

If you are talking about being overburdened by too much work, here's my thoughts: I prioritize. I get as much as I can done in my usual 40 hours, maybe 50. Anything left undone apparently wasn't high enough priority, so gets dropp

That's how the Kansas City Airport (MCI) was designed. Before 9/11, you could park, go through security, and walk onto a plane in 15 minutes. Very minimal space is given to restaurants, shops, or even bathrooms inside gates. The l

We use them extensively in our API client code to pass back immutable, well-defined data structures. Dictionaries and classes are mutable and then each layer of code tends to sloppily change them however is convenient, meaning the underlyin

It's always pleasant to find names for things. I haven't seen that term Cornell Notes before, but it's close to my method. I tend to use the full width of a page within a lab notebook, but use annotations in the left margin t

This is pretty awesome-looking. I was thinking today about how to create a dashboard to which I could send data and easily add new widgets on it: graphs or lists or urgent notices. The examples for sending from django, python, rails, etc ar

I agree. Integration is exceedingly complex. Data is stored and interpreted differently in every system, even if they share the same EMR, due to configuration differences in workflow, data setup, software versions, etc. You can't excha
