”Starlink satellites are over 60 times closer to Earth than traditional satellites ” Goodness! I really need to learn more about satellites! For some reason that statement really strikes me. I wonder what the ‘band’ of distance from earth

I mean sure, you’re getting really deep and philosophical on economics here. I’m happy to have that conversation too, but I think it’s a different conversation, and one we should have over some beers :) I’m not sure how you took it as far a

Sure, but not everything in life can be purchased through your Google or Apple accounts :) I meant it’s a pipe dream, because many companies will put a lot of effort into paying sales people to try and retain your business. So I wish it was

Do you mean for canceling cable? Yeah, I’ve gotten many fully free months of cable in the past when trying to cancel. Offering discounted or free months is a good sales tactic for them because the cost for them to keep you on is basically z

Also fair that I probably ranted and rambled about points you weren’t making. It’s easy to get lost sometimes haha

Pro tip: the sales person mentioned reader mode. I read all the NYT articles I want with no subscription through reader mode. A subscription is not necessary. Reader mode is the easiest way to bypass the paywall. I’m not sure this always w

Not surprising, and honestly I didn’t think it was that bad comparatively speaking. Try canceling you home cable or your mobile service and see how that goes :) That’s no excuse though, ideally we would be able to cancel any service we wa

That’s fair. Maybe I tend forget a lot of the issues older Android versions had. I always had Samsungs, never remember any issues with them getting hot, maybe that was an HTC problem? I think my first android was a Samsung Galaxy S3. Now th

These conversations always rapidly devolve into the same old generic iOS versus Android nonsense. But I'd like to try to keep a super narrow scope here. The specific problem Epic and others are fighting here is "App Store payment

What makes you think Android is a 'mini-IT' project? I have an iPhone now, but I used Android for years. It was always great. It always just worked, no 'fiddling' required. The idea that you have to do work to keep a And

Fair enough. I read a couple of similar articles before this, but maybe I'm ignorant on the current science. I'll check the links out in more detail. But honestly a quick look at the WebMD link was not very convincing. They cite t

Respectfully, saying there is "evidence that COVID can destroy asymptomatic people's lung function" makes no sense. I think this safely falls into the FUD category, and it really bothers me when I hear things like this. I s

This post should have (2009) appended to it. It's not obvious because there is no date on the post, but if you scroll down to comments, they are from 2009. That means these code examples were written in Git v1.6. The current Git releas

Early appologies for the long essay, but I have a strong opinion on this topic if you can't tell :) > There's a ton of $ to prevent people from going keto. Why? I've never really seen this, but you're probably on th

Never heard of that, but I guess it makes sense. I always recommend fermented products to friends and family, such as kimchi, sauerkraut, kombucha, kefir, buttermilk. If you can find ways to work these things into your diet, even a little b

It annoying to me the extraordinary divisiveness conversations on ketogenic diets generate at this point. But I get we are still in the middle of the learning curve scientifically, and there is a lot of confusion. If you follow the threads

This is way off topic, but I’m very curious to the outcome of the Rittenhouse trial. There is no doubt he killed those people. There are multiple videos of it. Whether or not the court finds it falls under ‘reasonable’ self defense accordi

I’ve always found that very interesting about PHP. It can do both, be a standalone scripting language, and a templating engine. Not that I would ever recommend using as a templating language in 2021 :) but it’s cool that it can do that wi

I agree. I recently bailed on WSL because my poor crappy laptop was buckling under the weight of the extra resource demand. I’m not using Cygwin, but similarly, I decided to trick out my git bash with extra packages from MSYS2. I have all t

The vim help files are fantastic. Well written, and clearly explain any feature you need to understand better.

Full time a little over a year now I think. Yeah that's a good point. After a while you do start to realize the limitations of the VS Code plugin. That video is a good example. But once I got to where I could edit at equivalent speed I

I’m a full time vim user now, and I would say the ‘productivity’ gains are a bit of a pipe dream. That’s not the reason I would recommend anyone learn vim. The best reason for me is that vim is just fun . When you finally become competent,

Your statement is correct. But, after poking around the site, none of the exercises demonstrated ‘isolate’ specific muscles. They are all free weight and body weight moves. These moves will never isolate specific muscles, and do precisely w

It really does. Just kind of rambles, throws around a lot of tech words. Meanwhile none of the points really made any sense. Never really read anything on their blog before, but this doesn’t make me want to.

Totally agree, I thought this was a big red flag. What an odd thing to say. Sure enough, the rest of the article it littered with similar strange, and inaccurate assertions. This is not a good article.

As easy as it would be to pile on the author here, to me this serves as a stark reminder of the how overwhelming a difficult coding, and setting up environments can seem to beginners. I think this author is a the perfect target audience for

Wait I’m confused, it sounds like mean game ‘changer’ instead of ‘breaker’? :)
