I walked out one morning and had a whole flock of them on the pergola on our second story deck. I was pretty surprised that they managed to get up there, three stories off the ground. At the same time, they dont seem to be able to fly well

Yeah it's really not worth my mental energy. Sometimes I take the time to reject tracking cookies. But I figure everyone's tracking me and everyone has my SSN at this point, and as long as my credit files are locked I don't

A 10% tender offer isn't really an interesting discussion. You should take definitely take 10% off the table unless you're already pretty wealthy. The interesting discussion is how much you should take off the table if the offer

I love my ErgoDox EZ but I have the same problem as you. Even after a few years, I'm still not used to the location of some of the punctuation keys that you need when you're writing code (braces, pipe, etc.) which in turn really

I think the problem is that in spots where the concepts build on one another, you need to memorize the lower level concepts or else it'll be too hard to make progress on the higher level concepts. If you're trying to expand polyno

There's a very large lower-middle to upper-middle class that is going to be price sensitive. And that's the point. Maybe I'm pretty well off but $15/day is still painful for me to drive in every day. But! Occasionally

FYI - you aren't handling the "scroll up" case. To see what I mean, click "Creating a Feature" then start scrolling up. Notice that "Creating a Feature" is still highlighted even though the entire screen

This works for things in the past but not things in the future. If I say I want something to happen at 8pm New York City time on January 7, 2028 and then the DST rules for NYC change, I likely still want it to happen at 8pm. Converting to

The point is not to improve it until you actually need to change it. Like you said, you're probably bad at predicting which code is going to need changes in the future, so if it's working now and you don't need to change it t

Yeah there are just a lot of titles with weird rights situations that no one cares about resolving. Maybe you lost clearance on a song in the movie, or one of the actors has a clause in their contract, or some company bought the distributi

Sure - that's why Sony is the winner. Other companies tried other things and lost. Now they see what the winner did and they're following their lead. When WB started all this it wasn't clear what the winning strategy was go

My guess is that OpenAI’s margins are much lower so they aren’t in a position to forgive or have people skip out on big bills. For Firebase, their costs are probably pretty marginal.

I don't recall getting stickers at any clubs NYC, although it's been a few years since I lived there. It was always on the honor system at places like Output and events like Black Market.

FYI you have a typo in there. You wrote "JTL Bukem" but it should be "LTJ Bukem". LTJ being short for "Long Time Junglist"

Pretty much every analytics product does this now. Amplitude, Statsig, Posthog, etc. Not saying it’s a good thing but assume that most websites are recording your session at this point.

I think that there are just very few notifications where a summary is the thing I want. Most of them I either don't care about at all or I want to see the actual text. Either it's important and the details matter or it's, l

It's still cheaper to not buy a phone. Yes, buying with pre-tax dollars is cheaper than at a store. But not buying one at all is even cheaper. And business expenses, like a new phone, are usually above the line, meaning you essential

Yeah it feels like the ideal way is to feed in a transcript of the announcer audio + some standard stats. That would ensure you catch both the human stories & the factual content. But I wonder if there are licensing issues with using t

This makes me angry literally every morning when I wake up and turn off sleep. And the worst part is that it used to work fine until they changed it to a long press for some reason.

I wouldn't be surprised if the construction business in Guatemala is a lot harder than in the US. Probably longer hours, no breaks, harder work, few to no worker protections.

You could prove to the type checker that you're only allowing input values that, when fed to your operation, results in outputs that remain in bounds. For example, if you're doing addition, you first check that each input is betw

Yeah - in theory they are the same thing. You can have a dependent type that's an array with a length of 5 or you can create a type called ArrayLengthFive, and in both cases the type checker ensures that you don't accidentally us
