   For whatever it's worth I have a personal counter-story to airtag usefulness. Not to get into the debate of indoor vs outdoor cats, we had a cat a few years ago that liked to roam around outside and one time it got spooked and disappea

   My thoughts exactly! At least half of these are chart types that I've never seen before or at least would never think of using so having this reference is awesome.

   To me nutrition feels so complicated these days in that pretty much everything that you could think to eat has a bunch of detractors claiming there's reasons why it's unhealthy. I found a video recently listing something like 6 re

   I always use self-checkout and prefer it. Recently though it's gotten really annoying in the Walmart near my house in that there are like 30 checkouts out of which only 4 are working and there's again a line up. Probably again som

   NewPipe is one of the best apps available on Android. The only thing missing for me currently is Android Auto support.

   Not sure how relevant the energy consumption piece is if you just hook it up to the hot water instead of cold? That's what you're supposed to do anyway to get it to actually clean something, right?

   That's exactly what I was wondering as well. I didn't really understand how tapping into the power source could possibly cause an additional loss that wouldn't otherwise happen.

   For reasons that I can't quite explain fully, I like angular much better. For me it's a shame that react won the battle and is used at every company now.

    I've been there once almost 10 years ago. It was really nice. For me the highlight was the enormous palm trees and the massive lily pads.

    I don't totally agree with this. Prices between airlines and routes can vary dramatically to the same destination so it's not like saving 20$ will usually be the difference between the cheapest option and a more preferred option.

    I've had a great experience with a Xps 13 and currently 15. I'm not even sure what the alternatives are if you want a high end Ubuntu machine?

    I bought a fairly beefed up Dell xps 15 a year ago and put Ubuntu on it as I usually do. It's an amazing laptop with the only drawback being shockingly crappy battery life. Not sure if this is the laptop's fault though or Linux po

    I agree with the first point which is definitely a blessing even if we can't see it directly. To the second point I would argue (and I unfortunately do argue) that "responsibility" can be a vague and subjective term. Like is

    Yes, I think you're quite right with the OCD type personality. The communication about these various minor things does also tend to increase when she's more stressed/anxious. I feel like it's generally under control and

    Fair enough, although I think the term "slob" is a bit extreme here. I would say that I'm just not very into what I would call "organization for the sake of organization". For example: 1. As the author already menti

    I'm in a marriage and I struggle with this same question. I sometimes feel like the things my wife cares about are essentially endless. Like if I bend to "her way" and put effort into consistently placing the dirty cup in the

    That makes sense, but it also doesn't really support the article's overall argument about the perils of "standardization without understanding". If what you're saying is true then it could very well be that the appr

    Very interesting article! I was left wondering though in what ways the queue abstraction solution failed?

    I hope I'm not the only one who has nostalgia for tables and frames. There was only one way to center content and it always worked. Now there's a hundred and none ever work without a bunch of Googling and troubleshooting.

    I totally agree. I can't imagine paying the price of a premium laptop for a phone without newpipe.

    I'm a bit disappointed that there's no mention of mini laser cannons strapped to these drones. That would be way cooler, especially at night, and much more environmentally friendly compared to pesticides.

    Maybe people don't want to watch exclusively Netflix's originals. I personally wish there was a UI feature to just hide all of Netflix's own crap and show me what else they have. Of course that feature will never exist.

    I think the dream was that Netflix would actually become the one-stop-shop for absolutely everything old and new. That you could watch the latest GoT as well as get your fix of all of the old Schwarzenegger movies for 10 bucks a month. Obvi

    I totally agree with this. This culture of being expected to be present at work simply to pretend like you're working more needs to end immediately in every work place. It's just plain toxic.

    I'm blown away on a regular basis by how long it takes to write software that in my opinion is super easy. Usually it just comes down to fuzzy/missing/changing requirements. A lot of times people know that they want something

    My understanding is that in the US there are even companies which can be hired by hospitals and other care centers to "optimize" the codes before the final submission to the insurance. I take this to mean that they can ensure that

    I always find it kind of silly when AI is just thrown into a field with the notion that they'll just deal with the messy, subjective and unstructured data (like hand written medical notes for example) as is. For me it makes much more s

    With all of these AI generated arts, it's not clear to me whether this is using the training data as a kind of template and then somehow generating entirely novel content or if it's essentially just a somewhat sensible re-organiza
