I don’t go there more than once a week anymore because there isn’t a good mobile app. I previously doomscrolled Reddit for a couple of hours each day. It’s been great for me!

Ah, a fellow frequent flyer, I see? I don't really have a horse in this race, but Microsoft turning Azure credits into Skymiles would really be something. I wonder if they can do that, or if the credits are just credits, which presumab

That is an amazing story. And you know that because of you, that person probably still calls their browser “the internet” because you showed them how to get to google. I can’t imagine any old person calling tech support now and getting that

Click on start. Yeah that’s in the bottom left. Yup that one. Then look for settings. No the word settings. Has a little arrow next to it. Yeah hit that. It didn’t do anything? Wait, click with the mouse button on the left. Yeah it brought

This is unlocking memories for me. I think we used to tell folks something like "If it's under $50 and Walmart sells it, that's a winmodem" or something like that. In theory, one of the selling points was that as standar

> Unsure if our go-external plan made sense or not (does an internal hardware modem run its own UART or communicate over ISA to the board's serial port?). Internal hardware modems had their own UART. A lot of them had DIP switches o

There needs to be a special kind of therapist for people like us.

This was definitely when tech support could still be fun. We didn't have tiers or scripts or anything, just a handful of people on shift answering calls. You kind of loved when you got one like this when the customer calling in also ha

Yeah, in the case of winmodems/softmodems, it was because A is cheaper. Or, at least, you could externalize the costs. In our case, we technically did not support your hardware - you had to show up with a working modem. But in practice

I was doing dialup internet support when these things hit the market. What a fucking mess. It’s 25 years later and I still get anxious when the phone rings, because my brain thinks it might be a senior citizen who can’t connect after they g

I’m in my 40s so Google wasn’t my first search engine but it’s definitely been what I’ve used the most. And I do think it has changed similar how to you describe it. But I see the change more as: You used to go to Google and effectively be

The convention when flattening is exactly that I thought - an underscore per level of nesting. This is what I would expect to see too.

I built an app for myself that I’ve been considering rolling out as a product. It’s built around SMS because I will always look at a text message but app notifications are constant and easy to ignore. But the whole idea of the product is bu

The headline immediately reminded me of the Juicero. How can they advertise on-device if they’re immediately sending your data elsewhere?

No. But my AI will hang out on the Japanese internet for you.

That looks great but it needs to not cost $1300. Seems like their use case is conference rooms but I’d love for remote folks with their own whiteboards to have this.

I was going to post something similar and then saw yours, and it was better. We can add that math is language, and sometimes language describes things that are real, and sometimes not.

These statements are not mutually exclusive. Tech workers deserve higher salaries for the value they provide. And the market is to some extent manipulated, or we wouldn’t see massive layoffs and massive (and growing) profits. The difference

I imagine there would be plenty of folks willing to come over if the wages at least got into the ballpark of the US. My impression is that the visa/residency process isn’t too onerous if you’re coming over with a job. Close the gap eno

Completely disagree. Some folks are brilliant but aren’t going to function well in group settings all of the time. You still need to find a way to listen to what they have to say, and 1x1s accomplish that for many people. Otherwise, group d

See above if you're interested in that. It does work quite well, even with nested virtualization (WSL2).

The newer Rad bikes have hydraulic brakes - the older ones (like my City 3) had cable brakes with the integrated motor cutoff. I upgraded to hydraulic brakes and wanted to keep the motor cutoff - it was hard to find levers with the integrat

What good is a product to a startup if no one's using it? Sales turns the product into money.
