In general you can't take anyone whose job is to opine too seriously. When you're not familiar with what they're talking about, they make it sound reasonable and convincing. It's their skill after all. But now and then t

No wonder in China they call Trump "the nation builder".

I think a close analogy is Github. The base infrastructure is open source and replicable, and still there's a virtuous cycle that keeps people choosing it over the alternatives.

I don't think it's an oxymoron at all. An expert climber still uses a harness for safety, even though they won't (typically) try to jump off the wall.

Is that satire?

It worked for Reddit... It used to be a 100% website experience and now I'd venture the majority of their traffic is from the mobile app.

No, that's a different color.

10h later and I'm still not getting it here in Spain, even with a Pro plan...

Has. I can confirm.

Well, I'm glad I used all my tokens earlier today... It was a good run.

Spread across a city probably more than you think, especially if you include parking tickets. I've never had a driving ticket, and maybe 4 parking ones over decades, but I'm probably on the lower end of the curve. In their first 4

I use https://steplimit.com/ to both cure my Reddit addiction and to walk more. You earn minutes on your tracked app(s) by walking. If you run out of minutes, either stop scrolling or go for a walk. It's so simple and

In my time I heard some people called this the "Tower Records effect". If the workplace is cool enough (record store, video game company, rock band), enough kids will want to work there that the employer can pay peanuts and won&#x

If this story is true, this is definitely a step in the wrong direction, but comparing freedom of Germany and China in those terms takes some special kind of mind bending.

Yes, same here. The title hasn't aged well, I suppose.

Not if you treat it as a magical box that fixes things on its own. We're a tiny team and our process has improved a lot thanks to processing AI reviews and learning common patterns. It gets tiring to get the same feedback over and over

I find it hilarious that your comment has an emdash.

I guess the value of the tool is that it gives you that same benefit for the cost of a few tokens.

"Don't be evil" they used to say.

More eyes, more chances that someone will actually use the tools. Also, the tools and how you use them are not all the same.

Not working on it yet but planning some projects with the kids: - A candy classifier with Arduino for Halloween (the goal is to have trick-or-treaters choose their preferred candy and have the machine sift it out automatically) - A board ga

It's gotten to the point that I don't open emails from Sendgrid support because 4 out of 5 are poorly disguised phishing attempts.

I've heard the same from South Indian friends, so I guess it's pretty widespread.

This is neat but my OCD brain is hurting. I suspect a location based sorting, where most-recently-used boxes are near the top, or closer to your workstation, solves the same problem without the visual clutter.

Congratulations! Mine was intentional, back in college, where all PCs had open telnet in order to facilitate cooperation. We discovered it was easy to seize someone's computer for a while, and then watch them look around for the culpri

Yes! As a beginner-level, amateur armchair economist who hated philosophy class in high school, I have to admit I was surprised to learn about this when reading https://store.abramsbooks.com/products/economix by Michae

It's possible. At that time people were talking about Go as the next frontier (that didn't last long). IMO, the game is the same, and for 99.9999% of folks who ever play it, whether a computer can beat the best human is irrelevant

Ironically I had a very smart and otherwise reasonable math professor who, shortly after Kasparov lost to Deep Blue, said in class that chess was no longer interesting.
