It is really funny to hear these types of statements when if you could go back and look at what fans were saying about the Peter Jackson movies, they are largely the same. People complaining about deviations from the source material. The be

Agreed. I think they should have made an effort to be _more_ different than the movies. The LotR trilogy, for many fans, has passed into a kind of mythological state of reverence. When they decided to make a show that followed in the same v

Nobody should argue that the show is accurate to the source material. However, this article hides behind a veil of "fact" to really just complain about the things they don't like the show. There are huge gaps of knowledge abo

It has been a long time since a subtitle on an article immediately soured me on it as much as this one did 5 seconds after I opened the article. Has there been an "everybody is listening" style hit since Serial? No. And I strongly

I think the theory of this article is fine, but the solution of sacrificing weekend time with family to eek out some time for work goals feels bad to me. It also involves pushing more child care onto the partner in the relationship, when it

I think the best way to hand that stuff off to your children is to wait until they get to a point where they hand off can happen, when they are adults, and then hand them a highly curated set of photos on a USB drive and let them do with it

Can be highly dependent on the kid but in my experience: * Definitely lost a lot of sleep in the early months due simply to how often the baby needed food. This does start to taper off eventually, but whether or not they will sleep through

I wonder what the future of Substack looks like, I have seen that they have been trying to push into the podcast space recently. I wonder if they continue to broaden the content they support and just slowly morph into a Patreon type site wh

I definitely like the UI, speed, and the simplicity. The two things that will prevent me from actually using it for my pods are the much discussed VST support and the lack of ability to select a range and mute the selection. The second is a

I use daily Markdown files, which I started out just manually creating, then I used an extension in VS Code called Journal to create them automatically, now I do the same thing in Obsidian. I have found MD to be the proper mix between forma

These articles seem to pop up from time to time, and the persons numbers seem roughly accurate in my experience. In my experience Patreon has been around 11% cut scenario, split very roughly between Payment Fees and Platform fees. But I am

I'm not really a fan of his work, but as with most other posts in this thread I think a lot of his success is driven by the guests. I do think that many posts in this thread are overestimating how hard it can be to get guests on podcas

I think this is very much a uniquely American article and comment. I believe in many other nations the situation is different on both sides. Postdocs are treated different and get more pay, junior developers get paid less.

The simple answer for this is probably just that the vast majority of people are not looking at the screen while listening, which probably makes it hard to make a business case for it to happen.

I feel like Tweetdeck fixes 99% of the UI problems with Twitter, even in a mobile browser. UI clean of suggested tweet garbage, pure chronological feed, just a more compact view, the list goes on and on.

Not sure why this doesn't link directly to the article mentioned, which the Linkedin page does not really add much to. Other than showing some LinkedIn posts that shared it. https://hbr.org/2022/03/how-to-ment

It is interesting that they do not discuss age at any point in the article. My expectations would be that younger generations are much less religious, and so the 3-in-10 being unaffiliated is mostly due not to current trends but simply due

Podcasts have come to occupy a similar spot in my media consumption. It isn’t so much about any real learning just satisfying inquisitive urges. I am under no illusions that I would become an expert of a topic by listening to a podcast, but

This is a great response. I often describe this as the 'video game tech tree' problem. It is very easy to know where to put time/resources when you know what the next step of the tech tree is and how it will help solve proble

On your first question the major problem was not necessarily speed, which did improve a bit for example the French Renault FT could make a bit over 4mph, but instead endurance. They were never able to solve the range and reliability problem

I like this article a lot. Attacks a lot of popular myths about the war (maybe a bit too much strawmannirg but it is just a blog) and also their representations in pop culture. However, I think, while being really close to being correct doe

People who have not used a lot of JIRA may not understand that there is "slow" and then there is "JIRA slow" when it comes to webapps.

Kind of? There are some tech differences on what the creators can do. Especially around video/live streaming that are all handled on site instead of externally like Patreon.

I'm sure everybody has their reasons. But on your second point. My guess is that the $180 average on OF is WAY higher than the Average monthly income on any other site for this type of content. Some workers may earn massively more on o

There are certainly digital archivists at many institutions/organizations that are digitizing archives and things. The problem comes in from the fact that for most of human history things have not been digital, so there is only a very
