YouTube TV was equal parts awesome and horrifying for the Olympics. It had plenty of great content, including a solid amount of 4k It also had the worst search UX I have ever experienced. Most importantly, recording an event did not guaran

Emily Oster is a national treasure that is still flying under the radar for most people. As above, she presents excellent science in an approachable manner for non-science minded folks. She also has enough of the technical details for this

It is fairly difficult to be perfectly objective about everything we discuss. We all bring our own bias and experiences to just about everything we do and say. In Dustin’s case, he is being open about his background and perspective. Isn’t

True but this misses the core point about agency. Some of us would like too think we know something more and ‘gamble’ on that knowledge. Having 5% to personally assign can scratch that itch without resulting in an overexposed or vulnerable

This is great advice. You follow the best rule of thumb for individuals, ETF w/ dca and set it and forget it, but allow a bit of fun to scratch the itch. I do something similar but honestly allow too much to go towards the latter. I

We looked at both and chose Render based on various posts here along with our real world testing and bake off parameters. We use the Pro Ultra config and handle ~20rps on a Node / Express stack w/ 36 workers using clustering. Ou

Good points. I didn’t actually specify it out, but my third backup is an offline SSD that I plug in every once in a while and store at my office. I only mentioned the RAID for local redundancy reasons. You are right about the data being cor

Totally. If you enjoy the config and have the time, by all means. If you just want it to work, by a Synology. Mine has been running strong for several years now and has docker images for my unify controller, pi hole and Plex. Took minimal t

I have been rocking the Caps Lock -> Esc for at least a decade now and absolutely love it. Such a better use of that key.

Take a page from every sports stadium in the country... instead of launching T-shirts, launch a foam vest of some sort. Clearly you have an issue with hitting someone in the head with something hard, but probably the bigger issue is launch

Thanks for the link, that was a great read! What a story. Minor nit pick, the pilot did not in fact eject. He was literally thrown out of the disintegrating aircraft, ripping his shoulder and waist harnesses in the process. Insane stuff, e

This is a great post and I am glad it is getting high visibility. Everyone involved in a startup should understand this and consider it as part of their 'do I join' calculation. Additionally, founders shouldn't try to hide

Wow. Each to their own I suppose. We have a corporate account and I think 1Password is pretty fantastic. Additionally, all of our employees are given family accounts, that include 5 individuals, for free. I highly recommend 1Password to

I have never quite understood this value proposition (maybe I am not the target audience?) The point of PaaS is to avoid DevOps... making a PasS with an eject just feels orthogonal to the value prop of the main business. Ejecting seems li

We don't give equity. The company is bootstrapped and the founders ran it completely until cash flow positive. It is now a fantastic mission driven small business, not a startup, focused on post graduate certification exam prep.

That is a good call. Having platform knowledge is definitely a plus, but core language skills are probably more important considering the minimal complexity of our system.

Kotlin is great, but we are having a hard time finding solid devs due to the smaller ecosystem for it. If anyone is looking or just wants to find a place that truly cares about its customers and team, please give me a shot out. We pay very

This is my only claim to fame, the pilot is my mom’s cousin. Super nice guy. Hearing him tell the story first hand was pretty incredible. He saw sky, so knew he had a hole… but had no idea it was so extensive until they landed and he walked

Thanks for the reminder on this… definitely need to give it a shot. One big issue with older folks is change. While the Assistive Access might be awesome, making such a significant change will be tough.

What a fantastic mission and amazing execution. With 70% of those deliveries happening in the last 2 years, they are really ‘taking off!’ (Sorry…)

Thank you so much for asking such a vulnerable question in a place where people venerate 'smart' and 'fast' people. In truth, we all have strengths and weaknesses and being at peace with that reality allows us the freed
