Happy to engage. referring to him multiple times as a "kid" in quotes from a "horrid memory" is not useful context. It sets the tone in a judgmental not open to interpretation way. An alternative view of someone choosin

My read of the article is that they’ve also pivoted to the methods experts suggest as well. The article actually phrases that in a negative way weirdly. I agree with the original comment, at least they’re trying and iterating. You get confl

I think that gap you described of not ready but able vs ready but not able is exactly what the college experience is for. I also don’t think everyone needs to bridge that gap by going to college. For me personally, I had a ton of fun squand

Your needlessly condescending description of the event coupled with the power imbalance of the situation suggest to me that you got the answers you expected to get simply because that’s what you were looking for

Appreciate your take. I think we’re bouncing around the same mental state from different sides. I do not believe in predetermined roles. My version is to find the thing you’re excited to do and not the outcome you’re excited to have.

This feels like such a defeatist take. The ideas time had come. For luck to strike you have to be in the market for it. Just keep shipping and playing. We don’t “all have our role to play” but there are a lot of roles that need playing

Built myself a silly little menubar pomodoro timer tamagotchi thing for mac. I’ve been slowly going through and building highly personalized versions of my day to day apps. This is the first one I polished up enough to share. Free if anyone

I actually think this is the same point as who you’re responding to. If the human vs ai factor didn’t matter, you wouldn’t care if it was the human or ai on your co-op. The differences are subtle but meaningful and will always play a role i

check out Bill Bryson’s “at home” if you’re looking for something a little less specific to refrigeration and more fun narration of similar novel life/home inventions. To give a sense of depth, refrigeration is probably a few pages. It

The fediverse folks are violently against any efforts for discoverability. They like the high bar for discovering and joining. Any attempt gets brigaded and shut down quickly

Weird approach chastising your customers lack of expertise in something they’re actively trying to pay you to solve for them. He shouldn’t have to be an expert in it. I was a longtime customer of fivetran who hit these sync issues constantl

For me he touches on this here: “One thing that distinguishes the persistent is their energy. At the risk of putting too much weight on words, they persist rather than merely resisting. They keep trying things. Which means the persistent mu

These answers make it seem so much more fancy than it is in most cases. Year 1 - Form posts into slack. Someone calls you and reads the price off a pdf. Year 2 or 3 - form posts into CRM. Someone calls you and reads the price off a pdf. Yea

Helios flight 522 had no usable voice recordings due to the nature of the incident. The cockpit recordings begin well after the last pilot actions from what I recall. They were able to piece it together using comms with the towers, but that

I used to feel the same way, but over the past few months have started experiencing it quite a bit. I think it started in more touristy areas I didn't tend to go to, and now is spreading all over the platform. It's a terrible exp

The comment wasn’t that 2% doesn’t matter. It was that even with the 2% from your ugly fund manager you should still just buy index funds

Remember when we used to call that filtering and it was a feature and not a con? Not for actual censuring in cases where it’s demonstrably harmful - but I’m not required to give attention to someone’s opinion just cause they feel like blast

I don't agree with this take - I joined mastodon with the best intentions and really wish I could have found my folks there. I did not want it to be like Twitter. The challenge is that it's intentionally difficult to find your com

I could believe that it's possible to stumble upon an instance that fits who you are and offers a great onboarding experience - but it's far from the norm. The reason I'm confident saying that is that it's actually by de

Fair point, then I guess I'd adjust my comment to say "in ADDITION to the server issue....". The reality is even once you're connected, it can be a rough place to explore for newcomers.

Everyone likes to blame the server interface, but honestly that's not so bad and I think most people get over it. Mastodon's real problem in my opinion is that its primary audience today doesn't actually want anyone new to jo

In that moment, I also don’t really care how they did. It has absolutely nothing to do with how they end up passing, the pain they’re feeling or the level of stress they’re under. To suggest otherwise is crazy and disrespectful.

This is reductive in that it implies if the answers are yes you won’t be the one sitting in bed screaming or drugged up. I’ve seen this situation enough (whole family works in hospice) to know it’s not the case. Do the best you can, but at

I actually find the smaller sized Apple Watch fills this exact need nicely. Screen is too small to leverage much beyond phone and text. Can leave the phone at home and still use the same number. Lightweight maps there if you need it in a pi

Thanks so much for suggesting this - fits me perfectly. Have always wanted to do something for bees and with bees, but know I wouldn't commit to taking care of them as needed. Going to get this going next weekend!

I'm sure there are some forms of carefully crafted hybrid that works well - but in our case it's become a weird case of "whoever happens to live near an office comes in". End result is you have folks with no team overla

Having read through a few of the comments this guy faced, this feels like a decent take. I suspect most folks float around for a bit and land back on twitter - which is also a shame.
