For those in the UK looking for a dumb TV, I recently bought a Veltech VE40FO01UK for £180. With a Freeview box and Chromecast, it's all I need. It would make me furious to find ads in software that I've already paid for. Hopefull

There are several posts here recommending you talk to management and ask for your role to change while you remain in position. This can work, and may be worth pursuing - however it's not always appropriate. Some organisations will not

One reason I prefer diagrams as "code" (by which I mean Mermaid or similar) is that they can be checked into version control, and changes can be reviewed over time. Unfortunately the diffs become less meaningful after significant

A single kettlebell offers loads of variety for resistance and cardio. Bent-over row. Overhead press. Squats. Swings. Combos like swing to press (although this takes guidance to avoid unnecessarily banging against forearm). Each has single&

Oh please. Googling "steve jobs bully pixar" reveals at least one story of horrible behavior directed toward regular staff members. Jobs could be a bully, it's well documented. Pixar wasn't somehow immune to this behavio

Then a further point being: it's not hypothetical. "Books" have "stopped working", see other comments. Whether you have or have not personally experienced this doesn't alter the reality. If this is a "mino

I kinda think you're missing a point: the viability of your "books" is not under your control.

Thanks for clarifying, it seems I did misunderstand. Too late to edit unfortunately.

Oh boy. No. Slowing your breathing is not going to protect against the effects of electrically stimulating the vagus nerve. Whether or not the TENS approach to vagus nerve simulation is effective or not, please don't believe this will

Inflammation is a crucial part of the body's response to tissue damage, infection, foreign matter, and more. In response, the capillaries become more permeable. This allows white blood cells to leave the blood stream and enter the tiss

A comment like this shouldn't go without a reply. Saying "sorry for your loss" always seems inadequate, so here's a brief recollection instead. A few months ago, in one of the covid lock downs when social distancing was

About your second paragraph. Can you clarify? It's a little vague. If you're in doubt of either anthropogenic climate change or the seriousness with which we should take it, I'd appreciate your sharing the sound reasoning und

In standard HN/startup parlance, are you a potential CTO looking for a CEO co-founder? If so, there are doubtless plenty on here. Maybe search for "non-technical founder" or similar here, if you haven't done already. If

Genuinely, have you considered leaving? You don’t have to work in a place that makes you so unhappy.

I've seen people (on here?) suggest that Maciej is on a long period of leave from Pinboard, and will definitely return to breathe fresh life into the product. But I don't think I've seen an official statement from him to that

Yep. I've kinda gone full circle on this. My view now is that it's increasingly difficult to say exactly what makes humans special or unique, if anything [0]. So it's overly anthropocentric to deny the possibility that othe

Nobody's arguing for "more power" than you or anyone else. It's about feeling powerless to enact change in the face of existential threat. The wheels are falling off the car while the driver refuses to stop. For anyone b

I kiiiinda agree with sibling comment about getting rid of such customers, although obviously doing it in a way that doesn't piss people off :) First, though, you need a way to distinguish toxic users from others. This is useful becaus

Agreed. As a notebook the R2 has replaced a disorganised and ever-growing stack of paper on my desk. I love it. The only way I use it is for sketching diagrams and noting my thoughts during meetings.

I can't compare to iPad, but the reMarkable 2 pen latency is very good. Not zero, but so tiny it isn't noticeable. It also has a paperlike feel, a subtle texture. This seems like a trivial detail until you use it. Now writing on a
