Mostly true, but Everybody 1-2-Switch was pretty close to being junk though.

I've had both lucid dreams (which was enjoyable) and sleep paralysis before. The paralysis was not a fun experience at all, and sounds a lot like what you describe. It's apparently common enough that there's folklore around i

I use Cloudflare Email Workers to manage this kind of thing. It works well, especially for receiving mail, but when you need to respond it does break down a bit. Jelly seems like a better solution overall, but if you need something simple a

I've been using a mouthwash with xylitol for around 5 years now and haven't had a cavity in that time. I hadn't heard about any concern with ingesting xylitol before reading this thread, but I imagine if it's a problem,

Cyclists are far from the only ones who don't stop at stop signs appropriately. Stand on a street corner sometime and count the cars that come to a full stop. I'd be shocked if you find more than 20% do. Which is all well and good

At least he doesn't have far to go to report to prison considering that Lompoc has a federal penitentiary. Medium security though, not sure he'd qualify? Kevin Mitnick spent time there as a point of comparison.

Not sure it qualifies as surreal, but definitely weird and ridiculous, an app that turns your iPhone into a trombone using AR to track distance from your face. https://www.tromphoneapp.com/ Disclosure: this is my own pet pr

Great idea! It may be a bit challenging to execute on that because currently it "snaps" to the note you're supposed to be playing, and given that even shifts of a centimeter or two will change the pitch to a different note, s

FYI: Just noticed a small mistake. "The Call of the Wild" attributed to George Orwell when it should be Jack London. Also, my kid is really enjoying the Dragon Masters series right now, seems good for the younger readers just gett

Totally agree. And I'd argue it's not even a new trend. Consider Infocom's Z-machine. What was that if not the Electron of its day? And the right decision from both a technical and business perspective.

It can be surprisingly hard to find children's books that tell a story with a beginning, middle and end, and with writing that is engaging. I distinctly remember one day Skyping with my mother telling her how hard it was to find good k

I got the FiiO M6 recently and am mildly disappointed. The audio sounds fine to me and it plays all the file formats I care about, but it lacks some features I thought would be standard at this point. The most glaring omission is the built

Not sure where the danger is with @AllArgsConstructor. If you change the order of fields, it's the same as if you changed the order of the constructor parameters. You'll get compile errors and be forced to fix them (IDE or not). S

Is it common for people to solve concurrency problems in the database by using serializable txn isolation? I'm genuinely curious. I realize you should always measure these things for your specific use case, but I've always thought

Can't say I found this article all that enlightening. Having been an employee at several startups that have transitioned past the 30-40 headcount mark, there does seem to be a breakdown at that stage. What is the cause, and how do you
