It’s quite sad. Firefox used to be the browser where I could just put AdBlock Origin on and would be good to go without too much tracking. Now, I have to dive into deceptively named privacy settings just like with the other large browsers.

A friend in primary school used that to create comic faces: doodle randomly, find a face in the tangle and perfect it. Usually they were profiles with large noses and other exaggerations. Quite entertaining.

Good idea in principle. The texts are all royalty free. The RFP defines value as (1) mandatory requirements and (2) lead time for delivery, which they later specify should be 2 weeks. That’s a steep schedule for such a production from scrat

I don’t hire for technical roles, but I always ask a “how would you solve this” question. This gives me an idea about their reasoning and if they have a good grasp of similar situations. It’s not a free consulting session. Of course, if the

Impressive! And a music track like that should be standard for all progress bars.

It’s an invitation to talk about yourself. Since it’s so common, why not have an answer (or several, depending on the situation) that keeps the conversation going? Helped me when I felt less confident about my place in the world. Berating p

What a mess. Why does it seem so difficult to organize review processes that are competent? Great that they managed to find a way to bypass it. (I can imagine that the complaint about data collection comes from the file referencing “googlad

Nice! Will give it a try on the weekend. Would highlight “calculate” instead of the “close” button.

Quite miraculous. Underlying paper: https://arxiv.org/abs/1602.06208v2 Unfortunately, the algorithm seems to be a bit too complex to turn this into a party trick.

I still don’t understand why iCloud cannot have a switch to keep the pictures even when I delete them on my phone (where storage is more sparse). OneDrive with an MS-Office subscription actually solves this. Syncs in the background and I ca

Yes. And then you have the vexing problem of the stage sound where you want the musicians to hear themselves and each other. Without feeding back into their microphones, and not too loud please. Modern in-ear monitoring has solved some of t

Not useful. You usually hire someone to get something done, so you need to gauge their ability to do just that. Intelligence is good for certain tasks. But the cleverest person doesn’t help if they don’t know how to make things happen, get

It’s a consumer protection measure to shield lower incomes/wealth from less regulated products that are riskier. And most of those products require minimal investments that are quite high anyway.

They’re ok, but I prefer the slightly smaller format of Moleskine that strangely only they seem to make. It’s astonishing how much these branded notebooks cost. They must have great margins, not just Moleskine as described in the article.
