I think it's ok to not enjoy something after 8000 hours. It wasn't meant to be played for 8000 hours and it's good enough for him to get a full year of play out of it.

I don't think anyone else currently in the party has anywhere close to his charisma or pull, and you can't artifically generate that.

He's quite old and no other Republican figure comes close to his popularity or cult-like following (assuming Americans aren't crazy enough to actually support RFK Jr). I'd imagine he'll do one term and then the next Repu

Yeh it's weightlifting not cardio so I need to see specific lifts and my history with them, as well as being able to switch out exercises depending on how I'm feeling/how much time I have.

> workout loggers both gamify progress I agree but I just find it too useful to be able to see what my workout is going to be and what I did last time, as well as my progress on different exercises. The alternative would be printing out

I wonder if any of these studies distinguish between people who use screentime more productively. I use my phone on a morning for Duolingo and logging my workouts. That's quite different to doomscrolling, but I still wonder if it'

These are good thoughts to chew on. > Other users did vote for them. There are actual elections for diamond mods. I don't like the idea that I have to be on board with a website's unvetted volunteer moderators in order to use i

I don't want diamond users having access to any of my information that a public user wouldn't. I haven't voted for them and I generally don't trust anyone who wants that kind of power online for no compensation.

Yes in my opinion it's an absolute disaster that does nothing to help the new user experience. 1. Post a question as a new user 2. It goes into Staging Grounds instead of the main site, so there's no way to get an answer 3. Watch

All that the mods seem to do is stir up meta drama and they treat the paid SO employees horribly. You're right that community moderation is great on SO - users with certain amounts of karma can close questions, and downvotes are a powe

I find StackOverflow interesting because there is (in my opinion) a ginormous gap between how the volunteer moderators feel that the site should operate vs how its users actually use it. I think it would be almost impossible for a new user

I got confused and thought that you were the CIO of Crowdstrike until I read further into your comment.

Maybe because choking to death is so common that it doesn't warrant news articles?

It's worth saying that Ars Technica has an extremely anti-Musk viewpoint and often publishes articles targeted against him and his companies. As others have pointed out, these two companies merging is unlikely to rival Starlink and the

The title has been completely changed since I made my comment. My comment no longer applies but I can't edit or delete it.

The title has since been changed, it was lowercase now it's uppercase.

by dataengineer56 2y ago
Good story but not a fan of the title. It should at least be "Rabbit" which would hint that it's not a literal rabbit.

There's Looker too which is a much more cohesive stack when paired with BigQuery and DBT/Dataform

I wasn't talking about nitter, I'm talking about websites with names like "threadapp" or similar that would just convert a single thread into a static webpage.

by dataengineer56 3y ago
There used to be alternative websites that would turn a tweet thread into a single webpage (note that this is not what nitter did), but I don't know if they stopped working too?

There's a British TV advert for a mobile phone network where Kevin Bacon helps a family to land a plane from their living room using a 5G dongle. https://www.campaignlive.co.uk/article/ee-lands-plane-family...

My favourite wifi vs ethernet finding is that my modern LG OLED TV is capped to 100Mbps through the ethernet port, but has no such limit on wifi and can therefore run much faster. I wonder how much LG saved by not adding gigabit ethernet po

I'd pay for YouTube Premium if it was bundled with the old Google Play Music. I can't stand the new YouTube Music so there's no chance of me migrating from Spotify, and I'll stick to adblockers + YouTube Revanced.

They fixed the bug which is the important thing. Corresponding back to the hacker probably involves the legal dept and it's probably safer to not respond at all.

rdrama is the closest thing that I've found to recreating that "old web" feeling, but it comes with caveats and it's not for the faint of heart.

It's a tough day 1, I hope it doesn't scare off too many people. Normally day 1 is just some variation of "add numbers in a list", but this year has a mean pt 2 and a few traps for people to fall into. I wonder how long

Why keep a complex thing in your garden if you know you'll never use it? All of the infrastructure around it sounds like it needs a lot of maintenance. It's arguably more efficient to remove it rather than risk any of it going wro

One forum I frequent automatically replaces Twitter links with nitter.net, which still isn't great but at least lets you see the post.

It seems crazy that 2nd to 4th in 2021 didn't do 2022 at all! It's an annual ritual for me, I couldn't imagine being so heavily into it one year and then not competing at all the next. Was there a reason?
