Thats super interesting (I deleted Tiktok because it was too addicting!), but this is a common complaint about Instagram is that it feels impossible to find a reel based on keywords.

Its interesting - the salary cap comes into play as well - but this article (and the parent article which is a bit more detailed into the tennis aspect itself) basically summarizes to 'top tennis players can use outsized prize winnings

I had tried this but found it a little bit weird - switching back and forth on the same device between the 'hard drive w/ full files' library and the 'primary drive optimize storage' didn't really seem easy. II

This is awesome! This might be a great replacement to attempting to get the Windows app to work. Has anyone had luck with the iCloud app on windows? Similar to some other folks in this thread I have ~2TB of iCloud data, a Macbook with far l

I don't have any particular horse in this race, but looking at this exchange, I hope its clear where the issue is coming from. The original post states "I am seeing Codex do much better than Claude Code", and when asked for e

Zachtronics has an excellent game(?) Shenzhen I/O which is such a good simulacrum of an embedded SDE; reading datasheets, coding, and sending emails, that I couldn't play it! But I highly recommend it, if thats not your day job -

Never hosted or surfed, but joined the meetups in a couple of different cities when traveling, and it was great every time. (This was 2013) Seems like it just had a nice group of people.

Seems like a fair point, given OPs opening says “crowdfund independent testing of specific products you actually buy” - having the top products be more commonly bought items may be interesting.

Posting the same link 4 times in 18 days, by the author, certainly seems like self-promo, but somehow allowed? I don't see any URL manipulation, and it certainly took off today. (I found it interesting!) A&B testing of post names s

That one Apple is still allowed to collect fees on (which I'd love to see the provided justification for!). Per the article: "Apple can no longer collect a 27 percent commission on purchases made outside of apps or restrict how de

People leaving is definitely a step-function of negatives as the responsibilities get shared between the (now smaller!) team. I think GP was more saying that improving retention, at a % level, is a slow ship to steer. (At least what is avai

“The American Telephone and Telegraph Company (AT&T) was listed on the NYSE on Sept. 4, 1901. Only 11 other companies have been listed longer than AT&T.“ Yeah, impressively wrong gp! 1984 was when they were broken up by Justice Depa

FWIW to avoid the plugging in (which I hated) Calibre can be configured to send emails as well, which works well with the email to kindle feature, and with a little fiddling you can bridge the gap to have Calibre auto-email you. ( https:&#x

Is it? The line preceding the bullet list on that page seems to state otherwise: “” Each storage volume can deliver the following performance (all measured using 4 KiB blocks): * Up to 8000 MB/second of sequential reads “”

Don't work for Google, but been to the Toronto office (it is on the smaller side). It is in the heart of the Toronto downtown, near Richmond & Spadina, next to the old & new City Hall. Definitely disagree with GP, I'm not

I'll agree wholeheartedly that the analogy needs some work. Tools are different - we have our literal physical tools that we don't generally dive into (keyboards, mice), we have tools that are maybe more battle tested and rarely e

+1 - Finished reading it this year, very fun read and much in the same vein as this article.

In my experience, the missing something is "have at least one computer that is a Windows PC" - at which point you are limited to a website. (Not the end of the world.)

It is actually the exact thing described in the 2nd section of the main article! Wild that AMEX covers it! (while on a trip booked through them though, it looks like)

It looks like the Intel out-of-tree driver is carrying around some legacy HAVE_PAGE_COUNT_BULK_UPDATE option that is making their porting efforts difficult. This commit in upstream ends up getting split in half: https://github.co

Wow, I've been using -f and getting (extremely rarely) frustrated if the file rotates. I need to read more man pages, thank you!

The favicons are certainly functional - as a sufferer of 'too many tabs' syndrome, at the very moment, the only information I have about each of the ~30 tabs currently open in my Chrome browser is the favicon. This packs far mor

Interesting - I felt this way about Project Euler, which within the first few problems was exactly as you described - heavy mathematical literacy. I haven't gotten far into an Advent of Code since 2015 (~18 days), but have done the fir

Very interesting to check out how different POS systems handle the rounding! I share GP's assumption, assuming that businesses would re-price based on the final cost. There is a financial incentive to get the transaction to round up, a

Awful. “Check this out before you leave” And it includes their articles plus sponsored ads about casinos for me.
