Yeah. They still take ~50% of the effort of hand-washing before you can expect them to actually clean anything you put in them, in my experience—our current one, though only a year old, is incredibly shitty and takes more like 75%. With a

The front end/back end sharing argument never appealed to me. In practice, how much are you actually going to be able to share? No way it's worth it. What's finally got me writing way more Javascript than I'd like to is

It also breaks "back" IIRC. They expect you to use the "x" on the page to navigate back, not.. you know, the back button built into the browser. That and the scrolling are what got me to switch my iphone to DDG.

I think I just have whatever Sweethome recommended last year. One of the lower-end models—only useful thing, really, is a timer-vibration to tell you to switch quarters or quit, and that's the only extra feature mine has. You don'

Good point. I've come to accept that bookmarking tabs is just a mechanism for making me feel OK closing them, and that I will never, ever go back through my bookmarks to look at that stuff. Haven't done it in over 20 years of web

The electric toothbrush is one of those "holy crap how did I live without this?!" things for me. First time I used it my teeth felt as if I'd had a professional cleaning. No amount of manual brushing gets them as clean as eve

I've been paid to write code in Perl, PHP, Ruby, JS, Go, ObjC, and Java, plus a little C and Python, for going on 15 years. I'm pretty sure I've never written "!!" and I think I could count the times I've se

The only two features that keep me on high-end smartphones are the cameras (I have kids—Apple's live photos are basically magic) and GPS. If it were only the latter I could probably drop to a dumbphone and just use physical maps, and&#

Did you read the linked page? Or google for how recommendations re: feeding kids peanuts have changed since 2015? We concluded the advice was wrong because very few of our peers in school had food allergies, but now a crazy percentage of th

My past iPhones have gone quite a bit longer than 2 years with 24hr+ battery life. But that's probably because they start out with ~72hr battery life (under my use patterns, which are ~20min web browsing, average of a couple pictures o

Huh. My wife and I deliberately did the opposite of the "avoid exposure to allergens (especially nuts)" guidelines for kids because it seemed like obviously ass-backwards, stupid advice, considering that rates of kids with serious

You can play a ton of songs with like 5-6 open chords. Find a song you don't hate that just uses G, C, and D majors, and drill the hell out of it until it's easy to transition between those. Way more fun to practice with a real so
