That's another thing I'm tired of: manually managing the algorithm. Using private windows, on top of downvoting and hiding stuff I only wanted to see once. I like the "idea" of the algorithm, something that finds cool st

The lack of nuance is killing all these sites for me, not just Netflix, which I gave up on managing. It's when sites carefully note what I look at, and start making drastic changes based on that. It's like if I go for a walk, meta

I think in terms of niches and fitness Programming languages are under a Darwinism-like pressure of programmer's attention. They have to fit a niche, and the ones that fit the niche best, survive. What another commentator calls killed

I'd like to see a layout system that maximizes rivers in the text. Lets make reading weird.

I loved that site too. Nowadays everything is so optimized and efficient, I've become nostalgic for the days when webpages sometimes sucked. At least they had personality, even if they were hard to use. It's like cars, I like look

This is a small bit, and I don't know anything about Zuckerberg's personal life, but "he refuses to get out of bed before noon" is normally more a sign of depression than laziness.

It's been a while since they made a bold choice. When I bought an iPhone a couple years ago, even the apple store employee kinda shrugged his shoulders when I asked if the new 14 phone was better, besides the camera, than the cheaper 1

You get to walk around the underground backstage yourself if you take Disney's "Keys to the Kingdom" tour. Basically, everything the public sees of Magic Kingdom is on floor 2.

I've tried a few dotfile management tools, and yeah they're always overkill. Plus it's one more dependency to handle when I'm setting up a new environment.

I did the same. I have a little dotfiles repo[0] on github that I clone on a new machine, then I execute a setup.sh file that installs a messy set of aliases and functions to set up my cozy unix world. [0]: https://github.com&#x2

I got a little fish in my first capsule (along something useful that I can't remember, maybe a suit). I kept it the whole game, then passed it on in my own capsule. It's silly, but I still think about that fish.

I had the Dungeon Notebook. It was fun. I played it until I got bored, which was quick, then gave it away. The ability to "give away" these little games are part of the fun. I'd like to see a game like this where "giving

I wish I could find the original article, it was a link from a link from the bibliography of Chip War. I think it was things like how you couldn't initially purchase music, and had to sync to iTunes to do that. I think there was more.

I cant find the quote and article now, but I read that before it was released no one else believed a computer like that could have any reasonable battery life. Then they opened it up and discovered the iPhone was really just a battery with

I like the idea of vinyl for kids too, because of how tactile it is, but man, begin with a cheap player and cheap records. No matter how old they are, they will play with it like a toy. The good news is my father's old slightly warped

I think this author is talking about a subset of non-fiction books, and we may as well call them "non-fiction idea" books, where the writer has a single idea they want to convince you of. On Tyranny does that. And sure, maybe bo

Having a pocket-sized wifi-only kindle is what saves me from doomscrolling. Instead of spending god-only knows how many hours a week on social media, I read. It's an mental health game changer.

Also by the time a parent dies it's possible those old books are not in great shape. It only takes one mistake for a whole shelf of books to end up damp and musty, and sometimes no one notices how bad it got.

The one downside of ebooks is there's no way to donate them to a library. I have a hundred and something books on the kindle that will never be read again. Although I guess I don't "own" them, I only license them.

Daniel Lemire's entire blog: https://lemire.me/blog/ . It focuses on low level optimizations, often by using SIMD, avoiding division, and being generally clever. It's nothing I use in my job, but I enjoy read
