Actually my Garmin does do points of interest, and supports either driving, walking or cycling directions, all fully offline. For two entire continents! All on device. I concede that the experience looks a bit less polished than the nice UI

Plus the whole feeling of “I just smelled this thing and it reminds me of my aunt’s house, who died 35 years ago”. I think it’s pretty established that humans are very good with smell. We just aren’t very sensitive compared to dogs

Same with finance, we could all live an upper-middle-class life with all the luxury, for one parent working in the home, if we were willing to live the same lifestyle as the 1950s. But life today is much easier than even then — and we’d rat

Yeah agreed, worth noting that it only takes ~100-1000 nanograms of Botulinum toxin to kill you. So it’s kind of irrelevant to compare different substances toxicity based on quantity alone. The toxic levels of aspirin are totally irrelevant

Yeah I have a line in my custom prompt telling it to give me citations. When custom prompts first came out, it would always give me information about where to look for more, but eventually it just… didn’t anymore. I did find recently that i

Not sure that really refutes the point, since the temperature was down by about 0.25 degrees during that little ice age, according to the graph at the top of your link. after that little blip down it absolutely shot up. Little Ice Age barel

At least in my city (in NL), there are a bunch of public electric chargers with the street parking around the city. It seems like almost 25% of spots are electric only in my neighborhood

I think you’re making a false comparison. Growth mindset is a separate thing entirely. “Growth” versus “fixed” in terms of ability to change your thought patterns. It’s “scarcity mindset” vs. “abundance mindset”. In terms of ability to gain

Yeah, I ended up switching to neovim because I was getting sick of my Jetbrains IDE. It seemed like it has been getting slower, and the New UI was pretty meh. And I was already using the vim mode plugin. Switching to neovim was definitely p

It’s a fair concern, but there really isn’t so much there. If they compromise my trello account then they know I have some meetings coming up with people, and that I’m starting on ticket 927109 and planning to deploy ticket 901223 on Tuesda

Certainly nothing privileged! Moreso just reminders about “follow up with person x” and that kind of thing

Ooh actually that’s the most compelling reason I’ve heard. I think I might actually split out those accounts with this reasoning.

Convenience, I suppose… and that doesn’t solve all of the issues (eg Copilot) I’m fine with it because I know there’s no management software on this laptop, but yeah it’s a totally different story if I had to use a newer one with SSO and ma

Fair question, but I use a lot of things that are varying degrees of helpful for my work: * personal ChatGPT and copilot subscriptions, since company doesn’t pay for these * Trello account for keeping track of my todo list (following up wit

My company will only give us new laptops that are preinstalled with Okta’s management system. I am grandfathered in to an old MacBook that has absolutely no management software on it, from the “Early Days” when there was no IT and we just g

Writeups and actions like this from cloudflare are exactly why I trust them with my data and my business. Yes, they aren’t perfect. They do some things that I disagree with. But overall they prove themselves worthy of my trust, specifically

I mean yeah some switch to transit, but there are still lots of people on bikes. I guess I shouldn’t have said nobody changes their behavior, but rather that it’s common and totally fine to ride in those conditions, as evidenced by many p

Personally yes, every day to the train station on my way to work. The bike paths are a bit less busy but basically nobody changes their behavior except to go slower around the icy corners. This is in Netherlands

I don’t usually love parallels from digital to physical worlds, especially with regards to laws, since there is a lot of nuance that gets lost. But, with that said… If I own a property that I don’t use, and people start making and selling d

That’s great for you. My partner was also not given anything when her wisdom teeth were removed. As the dentists anesthetic wore off, on the drive home, she started crying, then screaming as we pulled into the driveway. I got her in bed and

Yeah, but if you’re pulling in water and disposing it from a specific region, eventually the water that you’re pulling in is progressively saltier, and you’re compounding the saltiness of that area. I’m sure that ocean currents will eventua

I had a similar experience when testing Kagi after reading this. The top result for the “wider car tires” query on Kagi was a link to Physics StackExchange with some marginally informative answers [0], which would be easy to expand on in fu

Another giant recommendation from me on intervals.icu ! I have hundreds of workouts to pick from in there across swim/bike/run, and used the site to plan out all of my training for an Ironman 70.3 (and also for some upcoming races

Did you forget a /s ? Growing food is much harder than that. Growing a few tomatoes or something is easy. But growing enough food to sustain yourself and your family is much more involved and requires a lot of training and experience.

That’s exactly what we have in the Netherlands — there is a system where you can go to check out, using iDeal. It gives you a QR code at checkout, which you can scan with a banking app on your phone. It shows on your phone the amount you’re

I definitely didn’t mean it like hazing. I don’t see what’s so wrong about saying “you used inheritance for this relationship, but we have a pattern of keeping classes like this separate, since this system tends to change frequently. Please
