Here's my god-tier hacks for memory and concentration. 1. For memory: it's all about the strange. The brain is exceptionally good at remembering strange and weird events. So all the articles you read where something odd happens yo

I'd be curious what exactly the 'cultural clashes' are? You would expect a whole article about such a thing to ah... at least list some? Like, is it longer work hours? Less pay? No free lunch? Less or more 'family friend

What do you all think is going to happen to sites like Amazon books where people pay for content? Are whole books generated by ChatGPT going to proliferate the store? Will less people use such services and go to ChatGPT instead? Will this n

As a software engineer what is the use-case for these kind of 'code generation' tools? Are they good enough to generate different scripts for OS tasks? Can they automate CRUD APIs? What level of detail is required to use them? Lik

I think this more reflects the complexity of emerging web technologies than Chrome-specific bloat. I think many people would be surprised by the sheer number of new web tech that's been added or is on the horizon. Check out some of the

Looks like he actually puts effort into his videos. I am so sick of YouTube normies who literally just steal others content and add their 'reactions' to it with a click bait title. It's not 'fair use' in my opinion.

I see the potential but I'm not sure if that Lisp-style language is the right fit here. I'd at least add rainbow brackets so you can match up the brackets more easily. Other than that this seems really cool. I can see it being goo

It's also amazing for people with trouble sleeping. It masks all the noises that pull you out of deep sleep. I've been using white noise for sleep now every night for years. You can get machines that play many different tones to h

This is like something from a movie. You write really well, by the way. You could easily write a book if you wanted to.

What he wrote about delusions and nightmares in the ICU really hits close to home. When I was younger I ended up in the ICU for an accidental poisoning. Initially I went in and out of consciousness, having horrific nightmares fed by the mor

Anyone know if there's a more accurate alternative to NTP that doesn't require specialized hardware?

Oh look: another service that thinks ADHD is an inability to do scheduling or some other bullshit. ADHD is literally a neurological disorder that effects dopamine in the brain. It reduces wakefulness, concentration, the ability to filter ou

It's okay people: I have the solution. We just need to make Python as hard to use and ugly as all other languages and then the skids won't be able to use it. Thank me later.

What a ridiculous and poorly thought-out experiment. Visual art can be incredibly detailed, complex, and imaginative. None of these qualities are captured by trying to create... plots... Literally anyone can do that using Excel or Google Sh

I tried out many different BSD 'flavours' recently and seemingly none of them had good networking config. It was the thing that stuck out to me. Everything else seemed to work perfectly but outside of using DHCP you were in a worl

Is there any good reason to support this notation for URLs? Do you think this format would be faster to parse than regular IPs?

Netflix has a series called 'dirty money' that covers all kinds of interesting businesses that are highly unethical or straight up illegal. I think many of you would find it interesting. It's not really focused strictly on fi

Anyone who has ever pulled a website from a script knows the pain that is Javascript. Normally you want to just get some text and work out the API actions but a lot of sites use horribly obfuscated Javascript -- either because that's w

Good advice. I do think the arguments these companies use is ridiculous. I think it's possible that these companies are knowingly exploiting OP because he comes from a lower economic background. I say this as an Australian where tech j

Typical weasel word announcement from a big company bending over backwards to satisfy the prevailing voices of a political narrative. This has nothing to do with 'free speech' or 'due process'. It is about ensuring a bra

I see what you're saying. But there's no reason why you couldn't do the same thing with this design. You can build a basic DOM model that is allowed and only let that portion through. While the outer layer uses Javascript fre

To me this just seems pointless because an implementation in Rust is going to have similar features to one in C, Java, Python, or any of the handful of languages where Tor already exists... I want to rep another project that I think would b

It's honestly like 99% marketing and 1% skill. The other day I saw a Vlog from a YouTube developer advocating to avoid else statements completely because it leads to 'cleaner code.' It will 'force you to make all your in

Would definitely appreciate a more in-depth commentary on 'fibres' vs coroutines. Since it seems like there is a difference in 'scheduling' and Wren is using fibres. What are the pros and cons?

You got lucky. Somehow you managed to avoid any one of those retailers being hacked and ending up in an email dump. Somehow you also avoided any website that does marketing or promotional emails (idk how?) Many companies put it in their ToS

I interviewed at a YC startup recently and the founder was making ageist jokes to me because I was older than 25. Tech is literally insane regarding age. The assumption seems to be that once you get a single grey hair you can't use a c
