I always appreciate when companies take the time to focus on performance. Performance optimizations aren't as flashy as new features and senseless UI refreshes, but they save users time and probably also increase the amount of time use

Free speech has never been perfect. Heterodox ideas are often wrong, and sometimes those ideas have a cost. But sometimes, heterodox ideas are right, and absolutely crucial to us making progress. The latter category of ideas is the main rea

If you know the reproduction steps and you can look at the code, you should be able to make an estimate of rarity.

Are we reading the same thing? In the very first sentence they claim that the DFEH's descriptions of the past are distorted and false.

I agree. I wasn't a fan of the extreme skeuomorphism that Scott Forstall introduced (iCal having stitched leather and ripped paper, for example), but overall the GUI was in a much better place then. I bought a 2009 iMac with Snow Leopa

Shane Bieber is now out with a shoulder strain, so that may explain most of his uncharacteristic performance. I still stand by my general observations though.

Yeah pitchers in general seem to have lost command of the ball, based on the Indians games I've been watching lately. Shane Bieber (AL 2020 Cy Young winner) gave up an uncharacteristically high number of hits today. I've seen pitc

> Penalizing accusers doesn’t produce fewer false accusations. It discourages true accusations. Why would the rate of true accusations go down while the rate of false accusations remain the same? My intuition is that they'd both g

It never occurred to me that the immune system was involved in keeping cancer at bay, but that makes sense. Shows how lacking my biology knowledge is!

Are our telomeres long enough to allow for the development of cancer, or is it necessary for the system to be overridden, thus allowing cells to replicate indefinitely? My layman's understanding was that benign moles were benign, and n

I really wish this weren't a clunky 200MB Electron app.

Knowing the environment in which the virus developed can help us better understand it, which will strengthen our ability to appropriately respond to it, now and in the future. You should care about knowing where it came from if you want t

The iPhone 12 mini is larger in height and width, which is what matters most for one-handed use.

The lack of Safari extensions is precisely the reason I don't use it. It seems like a great browser for Mac users otherwise.

My solution to me getting tired of tracks in my work playlist was to keep adding more. It's currently at 2885 songs, or 5.2 days of music. It's mostly video game music, since a lot of video game music is written to not be too dist

Ah that's good to know. Thanks for the correction.

This is true, but having a phone number requirement lowers accessibility to the server for users who either don't have a phone or aren't comfortable providing their number.

On the flip side, it makes it difficult to spot dupe accounts or ban evasion attempts. I run a moderate-sized server and I have a suspicion that one of our members has weird conversations with himself across multiple accounts, but I have ab

That's actually not a bad suggestion! I'd miss being able to snap the occasional photo, but I could always carry my old iPhone if I anticipate the need for that.

I'd pay decent money for a 4 inch phone as well. I've been in the Apple ecosystem for years but decided to search for a current Android phone that's around that size, but couldn't find anything decent.

This is pretty cool! How does the legibility work? It seems to decrease variation the higher it is.

From my perspective, it offers an overall nicer user experience, and it's free. I assume Discord's gamer branding (which they only dropped recently) might be the reason Slack is more widely used for teams.

Yes, the "hide everything" trend is really annoying. An egregious example of this is how iTunes hides the track number and/or duration when you hover over or have a track selected: https://i.imgur.com/IhwHnfO.

Your framing of the situation is biased. I could say: "One group is holding signs that say 'Let us reopen. I have 2 children to feed' and another group is calling for police abolition while smashing in the windows of small bu

How are owners of small businesses able to make money while their company fails? I would like to know because I plan on starting a business in the coming year.

Yeah. When supplies can't meet demand, raising prices serves to discourage people from buying more than they need or buying just to resell.

Certainly, very few people possess the brilliance of Jobs or Musk. But, I doubt Twitter and Square demand the same sort of brilliance from a leader as Tesla, Space X and Apple do/did. A quality that Musk and Jobs have that Dorsey might

I'm not familiar with the situation. Is it different from Elon Musk dividing his time between several companies (seemingly with success)?
