I think the iphone becoming a commodity means the apps themselves are more of the focus. I am surprised Apple never put work into making killer social media app, a search engine, etc. these things live beyond the lifecycle of phones

Drake and J. Cole can act like this is a contest but Kendrick already won a long time ago

Once I got some “disposable” income I spent it mostly on music equipment and other hobbies. A lot of that stuff holds its value somewhat as well which is nice

I feel nostalgia most strongly for my grandmother’s house I used to live in and for Japan where I lived for a year. In both cases I believe the feeling is most acute because these are places I can’t return to or in the case of Japan, am afr

Where do I say anything about zero becoming 1? What I am talking about is that counting arbitrary periods in a given quantity always starts with zero whether you count it or not. If you ground all of those coconuts up and decided to count h

Yeah, it has too many things. Working in mature C# codebases is like wading through a swamp, so many abstractions with long and obscure names that makes holding a mental model of the system in your head twice as hard as TS.

The rub is the thinking a length of 4 maps to four points when in reality, the points are 4,3,2,1,0, totaling 5. I feel like this could all be helped if in casual counting we started at zero, then our entire concept of where the measurement

I was born in the early 90s, was working in film in 2019, broke my back, joined a bootcamp three months later, got a job in 2020, got another 6 months later, and managed to find a house in April 2021 before things started climbing. The comb

Yes but it wouldn’t make as much money which is the main issue with having for-profit enterprises control every good and service

Tldr; The author argues that the first computer should be considered one that is programmable because many nonprogrammable calculating devices have existed for a very long time. I guess he also means programmable AND performs tasks with dat

I had this belief for a bit while living in JP but i eventually realized there are some very key differences culturally that lead to JP’s stagnation. I worked with many college age students and their overwhelming sentiment was a feeling of

Honestly, I like that advice. Crime is a symptom of societal dysfunction, something law enforcement has no real way to combat. The conventional belief that the police can enforce laws makes no sense, you would need an officer for each perso

I meant “download the totp generator”. Correct me if I’m wrong but the totp generator has to linked with some account, the security of which is not managed by you, and is just as vulnerable as that account

Using code to code is just faster and simpler than telling an AI to do something, it not being exactly right, wasting time trying to tell it to do it right, and then needing to fix it manually but not having the skills to correct it bc you

If you have access to someone’s email account can’t you dl the totp authenticator and bypass this? Effectively that makes email the authenticator which isn’t better than a phone number and device

I have a pet theory that we are entering the “beautiful ones” phase of the unimpeded growth of humanity. Social media has accelerated a form of vanity that eclipses other needs such as survival and reproduction. That would lead to less inte

Good point. Where is the line bw pr and journalistic though? Is it ever ethical to alter a photo that will be seen by millions, affecting their opinions, even if for PR?

For sure. I would imagine a portrait photographer may not understand the distinction though

It is very normal for professional photographers to pose subjects separately or use head shots on the body of a different photo. In this case, the lighting on all of their faces is too consistent and similar, and indicates their faces were

Yeah those are fair points. I still think that to encourage wider learning and understanding from foreigners, using English as a base model makes sense because it is most widely taught across the world. As far as the second point, I taught

I was just trying to describe this personality trait I have last night (although saying I’m autodidactic is probably a sure way to look like a total ass). I have taught myself drawing, painting, photography, programming, guitar, cooking, ba

One thing i imagine is missing is the weight aspect. The weightiness of a macbook pro makes a solid typing experience that is missing from a lot of laptops and keyboards

Yes people are stupid but many are stupid, smart, and clever all at different times and in different ways. To simplify that there is a class of stupid people responsible for everything wrong is to imply the inverse that there is a class of

How is it harder for non-English speakers? Knowing the kana pronunciation for Sinzyuku is way harder than knowing the English pronunciation of Shinjuku for most outside of JP. Also, JP schools already teach English from grade 1 onward so if

The real take away is that apple should sell a keyboard and trackpad combo that is laid out like a macbook body, not that they should make a hybrid device
