I still struggle with this, but have found a couple things I've discovered about myself: 1) Wake up earlier. I'm a self-described night-owl. Its counter-intuitive for sure, but I've found that the earlier I wake up, the more

This inability to discern the nuance of the situation really scares me. It showcases an unfortunate lack of critical thinking concerning the impact of large scale public policy, like this vaccine mandate. "The vaccine is good, and ever

Or, similarly: What if someone who isn't even an American amplifies their opinions on what direction America should take its public health policy in? But I am strongly in the camp that it doesn't matter. I welcome your opinion, an

The saddest part of all this is really the destruction of centrism. There's a strong amount of nuance lost on both extremes in the common centrist opinion that 'the vaccine is good, everyone should get the vaccine, public vaccine

So, who someone is is more important than what they're saying? Isn't that a logical fallacy?

You know, the funny thing is; phones got better. Apple's most of all. Batteries got bigger, processors got more powerful. Flash would have sucked on the iPhone 3G; I'd bet it'd be a perfectly pleasant experience on the iPhone

Its hard to know for sure; as they say, if you had asked Ford's customers what they wanted, they'd have asked for a faster horse. Its also a question that's complicated by another duopoly; the real question is, what kind of i

The strongest argument really isn't that the App Store isn't good for consumers. There are examples where it very clearly isn't (cloud game streaming is a great one), but by and large it is positive for consumers. The issue i

Yeah my example was really just an Option type. A better example: think of Kubernetes API objects. In short, expressed as typescript interfaces: type KubeObject = Pod | Service; interface Pod { kind: "Pod", metadata: Met

I like the use of 'never' over just 'undefined'; really drives home that not only is it not there, but it shouldn't exist at all in that case. I'm trying to think of a reason why the compiler couldn't allo

Very nice! The very, very related thing I found myself wishing I had just today is the ability to destructure discriminated union fields which only exist on one component type of the union. As an example, with the following type system:

Bluntly; it doesn't matter. Apple Watch providing human beings with more information about how much physical activity they're getting each day may not actually substantively impact exercise, on the long run, for most users. I don&

If I were Tim, the next ten years would primarily be: * Car; not happening. * Connected home; this is a crowded space, but it also represents a class of products that people are willing to invest in, then keep for years; Apple is great at t

Edith Finch is one of my favorite games of all time, as well. I debated not including it on the above list, because one of the things it does absolutely fantastically well is, lets call it, ludonarrative resonance. The opposite of ludonarra

I wouldn't begin to assert that those games are bad; just that their decision to mesh strong cohesive narrative with open world design ends up doing a disservice to both the narrative and the open world. That doesn't mean the game
827.
by 015a 5y ago
I'd tend to agree. I think games need to be better about "picking a camp". Many games try to force a strong narrative into an open world design, and both qualities end up faltering because of it. Examples: Mass Effect, God of

I think any process which takes 23 steps to describe could reasonably be described as "complex", but if you're jealous that you didn't think of it first its kinder to simply say so rather than talk down on the skill of t

Are you really, actually sorry, or are you just saying that to soften your message? Isn't that manipulation?

I think his statement is that founder (and family) led businesses are the only businesses capable of building the shock absorbers necessary to weather hundred-year storms; not that they always will. By comparison, committee-appointed CEOs

My last two builds (going about ~7 years) have been mini ITX. The builds tend to be more frustrating (I wouldn't say harder; just more frustrating and longer), but the end result is always more pleasing. The biggest thing that I wish w

I've been getting these a ton recently, on both a 2018 15" Intel MBP w/ 32g memory and an M1 Air w/ 16g. I suspect its just a recent MacOS bug that will get sorted out, and not an actual OOM issue. Chrome can use a lot,

This is legitimately one of the dumbest, most boneheaded tax schemes I've ever seen the left devise. I'm all for taxing the rich, but not like this. First, this creates a perverse incentive for founders to stifle the growth (or mo

This is always a controversial opinion, at least in some circles, but: I've long said that the PM role was created solely because companies can't find enough good engineering talent. That isn't to assert that PMs don't d

For me, its less about ads (I run adblocks everywhere, both on the computer and at the router level); but, the same idea surfaces in YouTube recommendations. One recent example was some random show a friend was telling me to watch. Later th

'bash -c $(curl )' doesn't mitigate a website's ability to detect whether you're downloading a file via curl versus accessing it in a browser (e.g. if (headers.USER_AGENT.includes("curl")) {}). It does mit

I will argue until the day I die: curl | bash is actually more secure than most traditional software delivery mechanisms. Slightly, but meaningfully. With curl | bash, the URL of the bash script is right there. I can copy it, plug it into

Yeah; one of my favorites in recent history was the Windows 11 developer preview. I installed it ahead of time to test an application my company distributes. Eventually, Windows 11 is released, and I think: Well, I'd like to get this m

Sure they are. In mega-corporations like Alphabet, even the head of YouTube is a middle-manager.

by 015a 5y ago
Right, and that's why I really can't believe this spat has the full force of Alphabet Inc behind it. I think its just Google's highly independent culture taken to the extreme with an idiotic, toxic, vengeful middle manager. I
