Yeah I think Wirecutter and I sucked it up and signed up for a consumer reports subscription. Anecdotally I thought there was a period (maybe 2017?) where Wirecutter was becoming less trustworthy (maybe it was when I was looking for a mattr

A lot of renewed interest in effect systems and to a lesser extent co-routines. I appreciated the contrast to higher-ordered functions which are conceptually simple construct but start requiring additional syntax of the language as effects

This reminds me when my parents would have half their browser covered in random toolbars they'd get tricked into installing, whether by online ads or software bundled with them. The modern dark patterns are really nothing like the earl

Aren’t you describing frame rate? Tick rate is different; it’s when the server synchronizes state across clients

He’s been at twitch since 2006. How many founders stay that long? Mark Zuckerberg I guess? I just don’t think the numbers back up your premise that being a CEO of a top company requires a pathological drive to stay there until death

I also think it’s appalling how much input lag there is with these devices. It’s 2023 and there’s seconds long delay between input and response with these things. I get they’re cheap but how much CPU is needed to move a cursor?

In this case they aren't mutually exclusive. A government agency reminding the public it has legal authority to regulate is always threatening.

Maybe they gave a simplified explanation of their service, but if all they do is parse the country code of a phone number to return the geocoordinates for the center of that country then maybe just deprecate phone number inputs. I can’t th

I don’t see how this can be true under any definition of computer science. I used linux in college and I think it was useful, but more as an immersion learning program for the Unix abstraction than anything related to what i was studying (C

Smallest unit also has issues. For instance the Indonesian rupiah technically is made up of 100 sen, but the currency is so inflated nobody uses it and currency libraries behave differently (even different versions of the same library). We

I went from a rails developer to iOS; Apple and iOS developers in general are pretty good at comments, and I now value them more. Comments at the API level mean I don’t have to go diving however deep to find out what a method does. If they’

I liked the article. It was rightly critical of their treatment of employees, but I wonder if it’s possible for a restaurant like noma to exist with fair wages and have a menu price low enough for people to show up.

Well their new business model no longer has a restaurant; so closing for most people

I agree that colloquially it's definition can be looser depending on context, but it's in bad faith that Weiss[0] quotes Twitter's then Head of Policy and Trust as saying Twitter doesn't shadow ban people when in the ver

I agree Spotify wants more revenue but I seriously doubt compensating artists is top of mind despite what their CEO says

Is Spotify on any of those 3rd party app stores other than Amazon's (which also has a fee)?

Can someone explain why Apple is always the target for these complaints regarding fees? Is it just shorthand for both companies or a target people rally against? As Android has the same 30% fees for in-app billing, it's not like it&#x2

What language only allows concatenating a non-empty array? And it still doesn't explain why string concatenation being a monoid is useful in ruby. It's useful in Haskell because implementing one of their category-theory typeclasse
