The irony that web art history (design, ux, &c.) is so much more difficult to study and appreciate—compared to traditional forms—when it should be the easiest, always surprises me. I try not to profess in mixed company that young design

Totally get the creepy part, but my criticism of devices like this is that they seem to be made by people with limited exposure to the creative power of children. Children don’t need this; they are so much more creative than an AI (and the

How about when the email client pops up its own browser, intercepting the link, so that when you open it in the system browser, the link is burnt and you have to do it again? Or when the email service is overloaded and the magic link takes

Spring training at bats aren’t equivalent—hitters and pitchers aren’t approaching an at bat as they do in the regular season. But it’s no matter as we’re going to need to see a lot more plate appearances before the stats would be reliable

Baseball is the king of misleading small samples. It’s usually best not to jump to any conclusions as the article does so early in the season (ban them! After 3 games?!). There is a lot of randomness in the data. And if the season proves th

If you’re out of the house with a babysitter, it’s more than likely to be a date night. Take the night off and enjoy your partner’s company. Don’t watch the monitor; let the babysitter take care of that (you’re paying for it). IMHO, of cour

Would a Filson[0] fit the bill ($145)? It’s 5oz. material (what weight are you targeting?). Anecdotally, I wear a wool coat from Filson that is nearly 20 years old. Halfway through its life they reconstructed the fraying cuffs for free. 0:

I think we’re getting into kludge territory there. Might as well have an explicit property that can be autocompleted/stumbled upon via spec or docs than an implicit behavior born of a little trick.

I often set gaps between elements to 1rem or more. Coloring the gap wouldn’t be the same as adding a rule. My “theory of layout” is that no element should have any styling that relates to its relationship with other elements. Gap is very us

I have an ice breaker type question which is “what’s something (tool, tech, whatever) you are interested/excited about and wish people knew more about?” Selfishly, interviewing is kind of boring, so I’m always looking to learn somethin

What I've been thinking about leetcode medium/hard as a 30-45 minute tech interview (as there are a few minutes of pleasantry and 10 minutes reserved for questions), is that you are only really likely to reveal 2 camps of people—t

You may think I’m nuts for this, but I really want a corded phone. I have an old corner shelf from my grandmothers house that used to hold her old rotary phone in a communal space with a small bench and I really want to recreate that experi

Curious if you can set a schedule so that it doesn't ring in the middle of the night. Do you get spam calls like the old days?

I have a toddler and I've been thinking about landlines for a while now. How do I teach him how to answer a call? I remember listening to my parents saying "this is she/he" when they answered a call and being amazed at t

I used to have a really long commute when I lived in Tokyo and would regularly nap on the train. I was always amazed (and grateful) when I would wake up just as the train pulled into my station.

I had a friend who used to fall asleep regularly on the first train after a night out and would wake up in the farthest reaches of the opposite direction of his home.

Let’s not all point a finger at the “business” boogeyman who doesn’t understand coding is creative without acknowledging that many programmers today are right there with them. The current state of interviews tells me that a lot of programme

The library use case is trickier, but bundlers do a pretty good job of handling workers (albeit with funky magic comments in webpack’s case). What I find a pain is the uneven support for shared workers.

Any easy way to aggregate all of one’s screen time data? On an iPhone, the data is limited to a few weeks in the screen time settings.

I find I am enjoying the syncing features of Safari (and iOS), and it's much less resource intensive on my 2019 MacBook Pro. Also, Safari seems to be the most fiddly when it comes to websites (either because it's stricter in some

I recently made Safari my default browser for this reason. If Firefox’s days are numbered, I figured I’d get ahead of it than be forced. Ublock origin isn’t available for safari, but I was able to use the same content blocker that I use on

Out of curiosity, what is the relationship between 430,000 mph and the speed of impulse power on Star Trek? I assume Parker Solar Probe is way slower, but what are we talking?

Why keep building AI to do the things that people find fun to do rather than the mundane bullshit? All we’ll be left with is cleaning, folding laundry, and doing the dishes while AI does all the interesting things.

The English translation that Iverson mentions was in Harper's magazine. Iverson says it “was a report of an interview with Professor Weizenbaum,” so I’m not sure how complete it is. In spite of having developed Harper’s first Android a
