Interestingly, sometimes if you're the creative type you can get so consumed in creating that you end up not consuming enough of the real world. I sometimes get so wrapped up in projects that I end up not doing things I wish I'd d

I have an iPhone 12 mini, and the reason I like it so much is because I really don't care about having all the newest features in my smartphone. I use a desktop computer and rarely use my phone for anything other than text messaging or

I'm a software engineer, I understand the blockchain and crypto. I've been around Bitcoin since 2010. And yet I still don't know a single high utility use case for the blockchain. People keep saying it's the future but I

It's probably worth it. I always use Typescript with React projects, as typing your props will make things a lot clearer. If you're using VSCode, the intellisense is very useful. However, if you're just making a node CLI or w

The 16" Macbook Pro that's going to be announced on Monday. I've never anticipated a product announcement more than the new Macbooks.

Good point - Digital Ocean Spaces is a cheaper alternative while still using S3.

Old school: get an external SSD, drag and drop files. New school: get a Macbook and an iPhone and use iCloud. For programmers: Make an auto-backup script to an S3 bucket for very cheap storage, backing up only what you want (e.g. adding a f

I don't understand why Microsoft's developer products (like VS Code and Github) are really great, but their consumer products just suck.

Am I the only person who finds it incredibly hard to read Axios stories? The bullet points and bold text makes my eyes jump all over the screen.

Yeah, there's really no need for a long Twitter thread about some minor detail that can be summed up in one tweet. It takes the author six tweets to get to the explanation. Like, get on with it, already.

It depends on the shoe. Nike shoes have surprisingly low quality materials and their higher end shoes will not last as long as high quality shoe makers like New Balance or Adidas. The high end fashion shoes will last a lot longer. I used to

Yeah, this is just the nerd equivalent of being a hipster. It's not even as though any of the changes are any better, they're just different. Which of course means you can then write a blog post in a cool monospace font with your

Yeah I don't think Amazon cares at all about "communities of color" or anything related to social good. They want more ways to make profit and if they can sell weed on their website, they're going to push for it.

I have a journalism degree and work as a software engineer at a newspaper. The place I work allows pretty much anyone on staff to pitch story ideas, and if the editors like the idea enough, you can write it and get it published. You can per

Well, until they ban facial recognition scrambling masks. If the burqa is banned in many European countries I don't see why facial recognition evasion devices don't also get banned.

It would be nice if it also supported SCSS. Writing vanilla CSS variable syntax over and over can get extraordinarily annoying. Also if you want scoped variables SCSS has support for that while vanilla CSS uses global variables. I'd re

Tell that to news sites. I wish more news sites used containers around their content and had grey backgrounds. ESPN and NPR are two examples of news sites that use containers with grey backgrounds and I think they're both really nice t

I disagree. I was skeptical about Big Sur. I loved the look of the Mountain Lion days, through Sierra, up to Catalina. Big Sur felt like a big difference that I wouldn't like. But, I switched over and have found that Big Sur is actuall

I got really good grades in college from doing this (this might only apply for humanities majors, though): 1. Take notes of the keywords and core concepts 2. Make flashcards (you can use Quizlet if you like) of the keyword/concept and

I'm not sure I want to pay $3 a month, per person, just for some extra tweets. I don't think the value of a tweet is nearly as great as the value of a Substack post. Super follows seem wildly expensive to me. Seems more like a $0.

When a programming project starts to become this endless chore that I progressively look less forward to the more I work on it, that's when I know it's time to take a step back and ask myself why I am even doing this in the first

Seems to me like YouTube doesn't really care if you press "not interested" next to a video. I keep explicitly telling Youtube that no, I am not interested in watching Shark Tank videos. And yet... they keep recommending them

> My 4-year-old phone runs a de-Googled LineageOS that barely runs any apps other than Signal and F-Droid. Why even give your 4-year-old a smartphone? If you absolutely must give your child a phone, why not just a flip phone or a kid&#x2
