   True story. I sub contracted with another agency for a new startup and we wanted to have a pre-release for a small audience and the app was outright rejected by Apple for this same reason. My final milestone for said agency was tied to rele

   My sister was part of an immunotherapy trial years back. She was given weeks to live; the trial gave us years. Tailored medicine is truly a marvel.

   I have not built anything novel — just utilizing community projects have been a wonderful improvement at home: 1. Ratgdo for the garage door 2. Esphome EcoNet for my water heater 3. Off the shelf Sonoff switches for some holiday lighting. A

   I live in South Carolina and was nodding in agreement reading your reply.

   Good for you. Abusing anchor (or navigation) is also a flagrant disregard for impaired users (those that need accessibility tooling).

   Same boat here. When my 2nd child was around 5 was diagnosed with SPD (desires heavy input, sometimes auditory stimming) and autism. This is a journey and would recommend doing some reading. I can't recommend "The Power of Neurodi

   Have you tried Blendle? It semi solves this problem with a “pay per article” model, usually around $.50 each.

   I “installed” drop.com as a PWA on my iPhone. It gets full screen real estate and a launcher icon.

   I have the exact same sentiment when it comes to the Baratza line of products. I have the Preciso, which is similar to the Encore. I have rebuilt parts of it twice and you could build a unit from parts if so desired. In fact, they should co

    Ahh, great quote from Battlestar Galactica.

    I am on your same wavelength. Props to you for pursuing this mentality. I believe you would enjoy the book “The Innovation Delusion” by Vinsel and Russell

    Notes on the Synthesis of Form provided intriguing insight into the theory and cultural impacts of design. As others have mentioned, he provided examples using architecture and biology. Quite fascinating albeit dry at times. Highly recommen

    I use Pop_OS on my Framework and loved 1.5x scaling except for screen tearing I get (YouTube for example). I reverted to 1x and increased icon and font sizes to semi compensate.

    Entertaining read. I enjoyed the dialogue-like banter. Nice write up!

    This has been my experience to the T. Hindsight may provide some reinforcement one way or another, but if we had to do this all over again, I likely would not change much about our quarantine behavior patterns. Our crew just does not want t

    I read East of Eden by Steinbeck twice. It's a long read, but a great story. In fact, I don't really remember any of the story, so perhaps a third read is in my future.

    +1 on the "Typical AWS issues" regarding policies. Even Amazon's own examples tend to confuse the issue more and it is typically after much trial and error do you attain the sweet spot for sensible policies that prioritize se

    Stackbit really is a great product! I was able to throw up a marketing site for my family's rental property in a few hours for some non-technical people to manage.

    +1. For our family, it is not worth the stress of enforcing this new behavior until our child actively exhibit signs that they are ready for this endeavor. Maybe we have late bloomers, but it’s on average around 2 or 3 years old before they

    I went down this route before going in full time with contracting. With a full time job, I was capable of billing between 10-15 hours a week and it was only sustainable for a few months for me due to the balance of downtime and family time.

    I can't agree more. I also went the self employed route just after ACA went into effect and the level of stress this entire process causes every year is mind boggling. To add insult to injury, my premiums are increasing at astonishing

    Although NuScale is not the first to focus on this type of implementation (Westinghouse, Areva, B&W, etc..), namely small modular reactors (SMR), I am glad to see more hands in the mix. As a South Carolina resident (and supporter of nuc

    From a hobbyist perspective, I gladly welcome the onset of cloud-based tooling. Most of these options (OnShape, in particular) have generous free tiers. I used SolidWorks in a previous profession and generally was very happy with it, but in

    I started using it around v0.3 and quite a bit has happened with aws-amplify since then. After migrating an IoT cloud from a competitor to AWS IoT, our team decided to leverage AWS Cognito (user identities) and Amplify really saved some tim

    I will second Blendle. I found it via HN recently and signed up. Being USA-based, I found that NYT and Economist are both available, which are value-adds for me. For example, I paid $0.19 to read a short NYT article, which seemed fair to me

    From my experience, it is not so much the noise level, but the distractions that they create. A nice set of noise-cancelling headphones allow me to focus in on my tasks.

    While I am not in education, a large portion of my family is. My outside looking in perspective would tend to agree with all of your arguments, but a few counterpoints, I'd like to raise (based on my anecdotal evidence): 1. Teachers do
