I see the benefits of in-person collaboration, but they're not a panacea and sometimes slow down productivity. I'm a big fan of the quarterly offsite schedule where once a quarter, your team/org/whatever gets together so

My secret is to watch Paramount content through the TV app on macOS/iOS/iPadOS/tvOS. The Apple video player is a much better experience than any of the current streaming service apps.

This reads like a critique of centralized versus decentralized control, but I think it’s more about lack of clear intention. Apple has a clear intent that allows the subsequent groups to work towards and contribute to it. Google and Microso

I'm not so sure about this. They innovate slower, but they still innovate. Sure, without Jobs there isn't one person who's a stand-in for the customer, but there are still plenty of folks at Apple representing the customer an

I would rather someone focuses on AR glasses that work really well and can work with my computer of choice.

Yeah, I really miss the old 360 Blade UI rather than the New Xbox Experience UI. From then on, it just sort of got worse. It's ironic since Microsoft also has Windows and DirectX and corners the PC gaming market in this regard.

That's true, unless you have local generation that produces electricity cheaper than the grid supplies to you (i.e. rooftop solar).

It seems like the phenomena of helicopter parenting and an intense focus on the "nuclear family" are two sides of the same coin. Helicopter parenting doesn't create resilience and also doesn't allow for an organic develo

I think there's one of two ways to make roadways safer: 1. Add these safety feature mandates that increase the price of vehicles 2. Move towards banning larger and larger vehicles and create limits on height and clearance for non-comme

It's a huge whiff that they didn't choose to go with WebKit, contribute back, and provide a unique interface juxtaposed to Safari. I like Arc, in principle, but I hate how wasteful Chromium is with a computer's resources and

Why not solve the "jobs" crisis of shutting down business in this situation by inverting liquidation preference and injecting employees to the front of the line? When the business liquidates as a result of close of business, credi

From what I know, there are several settings of regenerative braking you can choose. The higher levels will bring the vehicle to a stop, while the lower ones won't. So it's user-configurable to a degree.

I realized recently that my 16" M1 Max MBP is entering its third year of service for me. It still feels fast and I have plenty of disk space. I do wish I had more memory, but I have plenty for what I do now—though I'd want more

Sample size one, but I’ve only had the flu once in my life (29 yo). It was back in 2007 when the vaccine whiffed on the dominant strain. I remember a two week period of little energy at first and then some energy I could expend on one task

I’d argue every time they allow Sledgehammer Games to take the lead on a CoD title, it goes wrong. MWII was a breath of fresh air amidst an over abundance of twitchy ultra-arcade shooters. It struck a balance between the arcade experience w

Furthermore, if this were a sane analogy, HP would be paying us for the printer hardware and we would be returning the “investment” via paper and ink cartridges/toner.

This also presumes that an engineering-driven Boeing would have even built the 737 MAX in the first place. In all likelihood, they would have stayed the course in building a new middle-market, narrow body aircraft rather than continuing to

Why? Profit is the difference between revenue and expenses. Samsung could simultaneously see an increase in expenses and a reduction in revenue. Only the latter shows a true market slowdown. The former shows Samsung either investing in futu

The industrial design of the 2016-2019 MacBook Pro was under his purview, from what I understand. That obsession with thinness over the functionality of the device put them at odds with the chips Intel was producing at the time. In some way

Back in 2020, VMware pivoted hard into the cloud computing/software space with the acquisitions of Carbon Black, Heptio, and Pivotal—I was a Pivot prior the acquisition. They rolled all these acquisitions into a single business unit to

So much this. I'd much rather pay a shipping fee from the factory to my address than a dealer handling fee. I honestly wish I could just order a Tacoma straight from Toyota, pay for it to be shipped to me, and avoid the dealership riga

Further, I think local laws and ordnances like this (if this carries outside of NYC) will disincentivize the view that housing is an investment vehicle and shift the view to it being a consumable. The proliferation of short term rentals has

I agree. Axum feels really raw and I understand some folks like it, but it's more of a microframework in that regard than something like Rails, Django, etc. To me, Rocket has always had the best ergonomics to get going and Actix with m

The other piece is that individual action is good, but laughably ineffective in broad strokes. When we talk about polluters and wasters of renewable and non-renewable resources, corporations are the biggest culprits. If we really want to co

Not at all tired of being fully remote. I actually took a remote job pre-pandemic (by a ~month) after being in a strict, 9-6 (hour lunch break) day because the company had a legacy in the consulting business and treated their product teams

Anecdotally, as a remote worker, I have little interest in leaving the urban core I live in. I rarely drive and walk most places I need to go. That quality of life makes a huge difference. I grew up in a suburban bedroom community where eve
