I have this same discussion with folks applying formal methods to prove the correctness of software where I work. Often the "proof" is harder to read than the original code and I certainly don't feel anyone has proven anythin

It’s my choice to use (or not use) Gmail. What data I share with them in exchange for their service is non of Amazon’s business. (If Amazon wanted to make this feature opt-in, sure, whatever.)

I don’t think it is so binary. If there is more friction to communicate with me I expect to hear from people less often. As an example, my friends that only use Discord and not SMS or Signal definitely hear from me less frequently. It doesn

That’s a bit uncharitable. It made perfect sense to me. I also learned something about Japanese lacquer.

The books are also physically really pleasant to hold and look at. I’ve read each book they’ve published and enjoyed them all.

Excited to say I worked on this feature! (Standard disclaimer: thoughts and opinions are my own and may or may not be shared by my employer.) To give an idea of the kinds of things you can do now: - Keys or other secrets can only be dec

I’m more familiar with the 737 (as a hobby, not as a pilot), but for that aircraft the “loss of thrust on both engines” checklist has the start levers as the second item on the list. Note that in the checklist I am looking at the goal is to

It’s not. And the fact that you think they sing songs makes me think you’ve never watched it.

I have an elderly parent who has required multiple trips to the ER in the last year. The issue here (Seattle) is that the beds in the other departments are full, so there is no where else for them to go. The ER usually determine within a fe

I haven’t explored that. My intended use case was outbound calls, so I just bought a phone that allows you to switch the ringer off. Rather than specific hours, I would probably just create an allowlist of friend and family numbers and trus

I recently just set this up for my 5 year old. I bought a Grandstream HandyTone 801 as a bridge. I use voip.ms as a service provider. Both are geared toward more technical users, but the service is very reasonable for the price. Instruction

My solution has been to use iCloud to sync photos to my desktop, but then I just backup the iPhoto directory on my desktop which has all the raw photos in case iCloud goes poof.

I found it useful to set deadlines that force me to prioritize features that add value/functionality. Since for me these are just personal projects, I try to add accountability by telling friends "hey, Monday I want to show you th

Employees may still be able to limit the amount that is stolen. You may be able to steal one item, but are blocked from filling up a bag.
