I know you are right, but there just aren't enough hours in the day to fight against every injustice or underhanded business tactic. Plus it takes a toll on my mental health to obsess about these things and I have to force myself not t

I vaguely recall a news article about some company, I want to say Apple but I'm not sure, patenting a process to use the camera to track your eyes to verify you're actually watching an ad to make them truly unskippable.

Roku makes me so sad. They had a product I really enjoyed using and admired them for making. Then slowly over the years they keep becoming more intrusive with their ads and more invasive with their data/privacy practices. My first Roku

We are using Amplify and I can't agree enough with this. The gen 1 to gen 2 migration docs are literally: just stay on gen 1.

What was the source data here? It seems like a lot of the graphs are just the author's intuitive feel rather than being backed by any sort of hard data. Did I miss it in there somewhere?

First time in a long time I kind of wish I had a Windows machine to try this out.

Yeah, but their platform is basically a janky PDF parser which is why I don't understand what the hype is about. It's easy to cherry pick a PDF for marketing purposes and claim you're better. I didn't miss it, I just don

Hmm, I have to say I'm pretty unimpressed with my initial experience here. 1. The sign up with email just endlessly redirected, click link in email, ask to sign up with email, put in email, click link in email, etc. 2. Fine, I'll

Personally, I have always struggled to find enjoyment and meaning while working at a big company so I would ask yourself if a big company is right for you. If you decide to stay, try to make a couple of friends. People need to eat so see if

You can't have someone be an effective leader in the company who doesn't believe in the mission anymore. As the leader now, you need to give them the speech that as you build this company, people are going to get on the bus and pe

So, X is starting to show ads without labeling them as ads? One more reason to not use Twitter.

I know they don't rely on GPL much, but what does the ruling here suggest for OSS foundations like Apache and CNCF? Specifically this part: only the author can initiate the lawsuit. Does that mean failure to adhere to the terms of lice

Wow, sorry for trying to show some encouragement for someone online. Screw me right?

Wow, 40kbs is fantastic progress! Congrats to your wife. I've lost around 15 lbs by run/walking on the treadmill every day. I started at around 20 minutes/day, now I'm up 30-45 minutes per day 5x/week and just watch

Nope, just me. As someone who also struggles to lose weight I am tired of hearing about Keto and Paleo. I would be thrilled to be down 55 lbs. Sorry if it sounded insincere.

I was expecting this to end with the usual "using this to treat patients in clinical settings is at least 10 years away" (read: probably never) but this one is actually available now it looks like, although it's very pricey a

Wow, congratulations! 55 lbs is a lot of weight to lose. Your approach of gradual changes and focusing on caloric deficit is refreshing compared to the extreme diets and fad-based approaches that seem to come and go every few months. Keep u

Why does it seem like the average American doesn't care at all about exactly how much sway corporate interests hold in our government? Boeing's influence on politicians and regulatory agencies is a glaring example. The safety of p

It's frustrating to see these updates that feel like a step back rather than an improvement. Why remove useful features and irritate your users? Guess this lets Google lay off more workers who were working on these.

Reading this, it really makes me wonder how content creators will adapt in the AI era. Even if LLMs can't reproduce their content word for word, I find myself going to ChatGPT more and Google less.
