It feels like we're living two separate lives when it comes to remote work. If my office was a 5-10 minute walk then in-office could be fine. I used to longboard to the office and I didn't have too many complaints. But after getti

One of the biggest accolades Biden got for a lot of people was they got 4 years of being able to turn off the news and nothing was on fire. His critics might have called him sleepy Joe (despite his administration being quite prolific) but i

And then you read the SDK code and the bewildering doesn't stop at the code quality, organization, complete lack of using exiting tools to solve their problems, it's an absolute mess for a spec that's like 5 JSON schemas in a

The fact that there isn't a carve-out for confessions under seal of the confessional is weird since they get one for everything else. If you try to deputize priests for literally God's sake you destroy the point of the sacrament.

This argument doesn't make a whole lot of sense because nothing about type annotations constrains Python code at all. In fact because they're designed to be introspectable they make Python even more dynamic and you can do even cra

I wish they just exposed the auction system to make the whole tipping thing moot. A slider that sets your delivery fee that updates based on demand / driver availability would eliminate a lot of the awkward social dynamics. Low fee slo

Yeah, it's a weird situation with the current administration because they're clearly on a revenge tour and it will be hard to predict what their actual government will look like once they cool off. They're still acting like t

Teams as a Zoom competitor is fine. It works perfectly well as video calling / conferencing software. Teams as a Slack competitor is abysmal. Absolutely unusable for anything other than the most basic communication needs.
