The entire site is very obviously AI generated. The fonts, layout, and even the logo are obviously AI. I'm not sure about the content. Maybe the "author" is actually someone really interested in history and just used Claude t

So Trump's master plan is to renegotiate the free trade agreement that he already renegotiated during his last term? He obviously has no idea what he's doing. Is there even a point in signing treaties with the United States wh

Are you running a 15 year old netbook or something? I've never noticed any input lag in VSCode or Slack (or any other Electron apps I can think of)

I like taking photos of the aurora, and I often use NOAA's forecasts to plan sightings. I wanted the forecast in a simple non-video format, and was tired of doing the mental math converting from UTC, so I made my own tool to show Kp fo

Our work switched from Slack to Teams after an acquisition, and I can confidently say that Teams is just complete garbage compared to Slack. - The interface is laggy - Scrolling back in long messages is buggy, it often skips around and lose

I really like QOI (The Quite OK Image format). It achieves similar compression to PNG, but it's ridiculously easy to implement (the entire spec fits on a single page), and its encoding and decoding times are many times faster than PNG.

It's just a personal preference. I can't tell you why, but I just don't like how all of the programs start with K. I think it looks weird. It also annoys me every time I try to search for the calculator by typing in "Cal

Are you certain you're getting the flu every year? Do you get tested for it? A lot of people assume they have the flu when it's really a bad cold

It's a bit different since Trump's kids were all political figures in his nepotistic administration

I got a Pixel6 in July. Aside from the camera, it is by far the worst phone I've ever owned. I probably experience at least 4 or 5 major crashes every day where the phone becomes unresponsive for a few seconds. Up until now, I've

It's absolutely torture. I don't live in Ottawa, but I was eating at a restaurant near the trucker protest that sprung up in my city two weeks ago, and I nearly lost my mind just hearing the horns blaring for an hour straight. I c

That might depend where you live. 2x6 is standard here in my part of Canada, but that's just for added insulation, not for any structural reason. Older homes were built with 2x4 exteriors

> The disease has a 0.3 risk of fatality, still less for Omicron I'm not sure what you mean by "0.3 risk". 0.3% case fatality rate? But where are you getting that number from? COVID19 had roughly a 2% CFR early on when tes

I've never understood why some programmers like to use ligatures, especially on a cheat sheet like this, which will be used primarily by people who aren't familiar with the syntax. It's not 'a' ⇒ 1, it's '

People don't click on the video because of the dumb face. They watch the video if they think they'll be interested in it. But the dumb face makes it more likely that you will initially notice the thumbnail
