Some people have long term negative effects from LASIK like extremely dry eyes, halos, loss of night vision, etc. These effects vary in severity. A very, very, very small percentage of people who got LASIK had such severe side effects that

It blew my mind when moved to Ireland and saw that GPs/dentists etc. posted prices for services. How sad is that?

Nothing constructive to add here… just think it’s awesome you got to hang out with your kid and… I never knew that guac benefits from sitting in the fridge. I always thought it was the opposite.

This was a really effective anti-ad for Hudson Rock.

Was their intent to dox the employee while discussing this beach? They show the employee’s username, which is easily Googleable.

I think it’s an intersection of quality and price for Costco. In my experience, you can certainly get things for much cheaper elsewhere in terms of price, but not at the same quality. Costco definitely pays off if you have a family of 4+. I

Agreed. Not dismissing scaling social media as a trivial technical issue, but the real challenge with building a social media platform is building out the community that cause the tech scaling problems.

I would LOVE to have an EV that’s a “dumb car”. I have no interest on my car providing me all of the extra bells and whistles that I already get from my phone. What kills me too is the giant screen with smart features on these cars is extre

I’ve had the same experience… when I can get a human on the phone, they’ve all been really friendly and helpful. This has been a trend in the last couple of years. I’ve even had good experiences at the DMV the last time I went. I thought I

Yeah I always thought RC was like a writer’s retreat… but for software.

Is it more expensive than DoorDash after all of the food markups, tips, and fees? Or at least comparable given the quality of the food?

How do management teams get to such a point where they’re so wildly out of touch like this? I guess the only nice thing is that they’re being upfront about it so people know to bail/not join.

Likely just a lack of organizational expertise. Also, if you use some of the tools out there advertised to make K8s easier (operators + Helm) - you actually do have a harder time debugging the thing if you don’t know K8s well due to how m

That and I don’t think Alaska has much of a choice in the short term without severely impacting their business. According to [Wikipedia]( https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alaska_Airlines_fleet ), they have 65 Max 9s and t

Istio reminds me of the saying on Sawbones (a medical history podcast) when it comes to “cure-alls”: Cure-alls cure nothing.

Engineer warns of consequences. Execs ignore warnings. Bad things happen. A classic.

That’s dark but… huh I never thought about it that way. I thought it was more of a disease prevention thing due to rot.

I thought the double spacing was a typewriter thing. Is it uniquely American?

Likely those fundraising talks and numbers were already agreed upon and closed a while before they showed off Sora.

I think it’s because your kitchen sink and cookware aren’t regularly exposed to other corrosive elements that damage that a car left parked outside would be. The article mentions this: > Once the chromium oxide barrier is breached, corr

What are they actually trying to achieve by doing this? To get you to speak so they can record more voice samples?

I’m a “wait for the 2.0 or 3.0” person, but I’m grateful to the people who dive in for the 1.0. They’re the people who provide the feedback that helps make the 2.0 better.

Arch’s docs make me simultaneously happy and sad: happy because they’re AMAZING even for the most obscure things I’ve run into… sad because they’ve given me a taste of what docs could be but aren’t.

Seriously horrifying. If the acquisition went through, Amazon would know exactly what was going on outside AND inside your house since they also own Ring.

I imagine that there’s not much Hugging Face can do about it if they’re getting pressure to make money by their investors.

I wonder if it actually had to do more with esports pulling back quite a bit this last year. Riot was leaning into that pretty hard for League. That had to factor in for a large chunk of the headcount for layoffs. I just can’t imagine they’

I’m surprised that they decided to move forward with the project in 2021 due to COVID. Were they just too far in with contracts at that point to duck out?

I think this is a great approach. Just looking at the comments here - I'm not sure how many devs would jump for a git replacement. However, anything that solves version control for all of the non-code cases is VERY compelling.

Another example that I think captures the spirit of autoexec’s point is credit fraud. Are you the one taking out credit cards and potentially tanking your credit score? No. Does it still negatively impact your life? Yes, because the informa
