I have no idea why they highlight the $2/user/8 hours when they also offer $7/user/month. The latter makes it clear that you could use this all day, every day.

I don't fully understand what this is. This seems to be a tool to allow me to semi-automate repetitive tasks that access a REST API; is that correct? Can I download it and fill it in with my own endpoints, etc?

My brother, who works as a fitness trainer as a gym, where he also does some office work, says that they had exercise balls for the desks, and he was relieved when he convinced them to go to chairs. He believes the balls are really good for

I've been interested in this myself, trying to tell whether "active seating" arrangements are helpful or "hypeful". I heard of the "Swopper" chair, and it claims to be amazing. There are many cheaper alter

That's so interesting. I'm very computer literate, and a huge reason I couldn't stand Safari is because it didn't show it didn't show favicons in the tab bar. I typically have dozens of tabs open, and really need so

I realize politics is frowned on here, and there is much I'd like to say yet won't, but do take a look at https://articlesofunity.org/ .

That's pretty cool! I'd actually like to stream from my Mac or a phone to an Alexa Echo Dot. Bluetooth usually works, but not always, and not needing the devices to be in close proximity would be a bonus.

I really wish there was a standard way of streaming audio over LANs that worked between devices (like phones, computers, and smart speakers). Bluetooth is such a pain, IMHO.

I'm amazed by these salaries. I thought I was making decent money but it is nothing like that. Do any of these sort of salaries exist outside of the US? How about outside of FAANG companies?

That's a quarter million USD per year. You are telling me that senior VPs make 2.5 million USD each year?

Gee, I was just thinking I needed to make some new chairs for the kitchen table (which seems to be a somewhat challenging woodworking project, as curves as usually called for and the way to craft them isn't obvious). I wish the article

Tangential to the topic: is there somewhere I can buy keyboard stickers with the macOS shortcut symbols on them? I couldn't find them when I looked in the past, and it is frustrating looking at my external keyboard (or even many intern

Some iMacs support a feature called "Target Display Mode". Looks like Apple no longer supports it, but it is worth taking a peek to see if you can use it. https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/389348/

Its strange to me that the article says that board games are booming during the pandemic. I haven't been able to have a regular board game night in months :-( I tried online but didn't love it (I suppose I should try it some more

Thank you for your reply, Zaroth. I wish that graph showed absolute numbers instead of percents, but it is very nice as it is. Interesting points to ponder.

It seems to me that the mass gatherings are ongoing -- not just in the past, but in the present and in the future. I know I read an article as the protests went on that said, "if we don't see an uptick in cases a couple of weeks f

That's amazing. I don't think I've ever seen diagrams like these from GraphViz. I've spent the last couple of days trying to structure some complicated data for it to format to nicely, and I can't make it sing or da

I'm amazed by the daft things people believe about Covid. The best thing a foreign power could do to take out a nation would be to get them to fight among themselves, and there is fighting all over the place, from memes to counter meme

I skimmed the article. People search google; it gives a paragraph from Wikipedia. That answers their question, and they go on their way; this has reduced the number of people that click on the link to see Wikipedia. I fail to see the proble

We have an some Echo Dots. While I'm somewhat concerned about the privacy implications, it has been very convenient. The biggest problem it has solved is "how to listen to music", and if that isn't a pain point for you,

I believe it is widely known that the disease disproportionately affects older people. Are you saying you wish we had worldwide stats for the demographic breakdown of the deaths? (If someone does that, could I also request a breakdown that

This is so awesome. So neat to see lots of people here. I totally want to use this -- especially if there is a plan individuals can afford (ex. for board game nights).

At a previous job, I used a tool that really gave a sense of presence that Zoom/Discord/Skype, etc, do not. I wish they had the right sort of payment model for it, but I'd look at Sococo ( https://www.sococo.com&#x2

Thanks, Sean-Der. And, that's a good point. The curse of knowledge is real :-)
