A hollywood reporter article [1] says that he passed of a brain aneurysm. Tragic way to go and so early. He entertained the heck out of me as a kid. [1] https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/grant-imahara-dead-my...

They have started testing this with a larger format grocery store: https://www.msn.com/en-us/finance/companies/amazon-opens-lar... I'm guessing they're slowly scaling up.

This and the post yesterday about adding latency to websites reaffirms an idea I've been thinking about lately - adding friction back into digital processes helps break some of the addictive power they have. Imagine if you had to use a

Additionally, you could rephrase from "downvote" to "rebuttal", which I think makes it more clear that not only is the opinion/post unpopular, but that there is information that contradicts the OP's post. It co

I just was recently introduced to this and other discussions on city planning by a couple of great youtube series by donoteat1[1]. "Franklin" and "Power, Politics, and Planning" are some of the best and most humorous exa

Another way to say this could be if you decide to take the route of explicitly not solving an edge case or write throwaway code, that feature becomes a leaf until the branch of immature code can be pruned and a new, stronger one put in plac

I like the presentation a lot, but after looking at the features tab I'm left wishing there were some sort of interactive demo. This looks like a really cool project! I like the idea of a journaling tool that also helps you reflect at

Often times I get frustrated with the second type you describe because they seem to assume that I have deliberately (or otherwise) chosen to do something suboptimal out of laziness or neglect when often it is simply from not being a subject

I don't deny that this is an issue in any college setting where lots of hormone-driven young men are crammed together around a smaller number of women, but something about the way the question in the article is posed makes me suspiciou

One binding method I rarely see on these types of tutorials is Smyth sewn binding: https://craftschmaft.com/smyth-sewn-book-binding/ It's got the desirable property of being lay-flat (like perfect binding), but al

That's an easy sentiment to come away with from every article in the series except the very last. The final one does offer (imo) a pretty clean solution to the problem he's been exploring, which boils down to viewing the rules of

Cool tool, I really like the idea and workflow it promotes! Only question I have is about the content I write into your text box. Is it still mine? Is it private to everyone (even your servers)? Writing is a personal exercise and can be cre

A new "Law of UX" should be coined: "Visual design is not UX."

It feels like a centralized organizing service for web content (and by extension, retail goods sold online) is an inevitability in today's internet. If we switched google off, some other search engine would replace them simply because

A question for the author or anyone who has been through a similar experience: Can you better describe what life is like without the "haze"? One thing that I see consistently in these kinds of writeups is the author describing liv

They are also a very large, non-homogenous business which has had some great people work for them as well as some very shitty people. The best managers there are the ones who largely disregard the incentives placed before them and respect t

Anecdotally, I almost exclusively buy Fair Life milk nowadays which usually has a very comfortable shelf life of 2-3 months. No discernible taste differences. They claim that they've got a cold-filtration process which is what allows f

Is this measuring a causal relationship though? Correlation is not causation... Maybe those kids from more wealthy/well-educated families are more persistent and tempered because their self-image aligns with society's looming popu

I think that a lot of the 'unfixable suckage' comes to exist by people not wanting to rewrite boilerplate code to achieve a seemingly simple task, so they import someone else's boilerplate (angular) and use it to achieve thei

It took a while for me to understand Yalgeth's Limit, but once that piece of information cracked itself open, the rest of it all really falls into place. Edit: Check out the wikia to get started ( http://vxmodules.wikia.com&#

This makes a lot of sense. If investors can get a real feel for who they're investing in rather than a lot of marketing/canned pizzaz, I think they'll make consistently better decisions and founders will get a much clearer un

I'll echo that sentiment, I experience it daily. Very rarely is a business itself abstract and complicated enough to merit an abstract and complicated technical solution. Meatspace is still pretty simple.

Thanks for the insight. In regards to comparing new technologies against previous ones to understand their legal definitions, it feels like the burden is on technologists to navigate us through the ethical minefield. I'm not very aware

Interesting, thanks for letting me know. Jurisdiction seems like a concept that is going to change a lot in the next decade if that's the basis for argument.

How is echo audio data substantially different than something like a tape recorder that was live in the man's home? What about a cell phone that was on a call at the time of the alleged murder? I definitely understand wanting to ensure
