I had the pleasure of working with Mark for ~3.5 years at Heroku just prior to him joining Stripe. Since leaving Stripe, he’s been working on research projects at Ink & Switch, one of which they recently chose to focus on as a stand-alo

The situation in California is substantially worse than most people are aware. Many of the large well-funded operations have also been severely disrupted since adult use legalization. Most of the blame belongs to the CA bureaucracy which ha

I do believe the media tends to make too big a deal of EV fires and issues (given how they compare to gas cars' frequent issues). That being said, I don't think the stats you shared are at all relevant here: those stats are probab

Fruit juice and soda are effectively the same to your body. They’re both high-fructose liquids which spike blood sugar and lead to insulin resistance. The only meaningful difference is that a fruit juice probably also includes some vitamins

Not the OP but I use Kelvin for this, works great! It basically treats my Hue White Ambience bulbs like Flux, where they automatically dim and warm in the evenings. Those changes happen gradually over the course of minutes/hours so it&

You might be able to use an authorized Apple Service Provider for the repair and have the machines out of your hands for way less time. For example, I just had the battery (+ top case) on my late 2013 15" MBP replaced this week. I brou

Add to that list: hardware-based 2FA. Based on past tweets from jgrahamc, I believe CloudFlare requires all their employees to use hardware U2F tokens for critical things like Google services and has for awhile, yet they still don't su

Funny, that (also non-standard) keyboard shortcut is not shown in the menu anywhere and thus can't easily be remapped using the standard macOS keyboard preferences. I don't know if my Cmd+Shift+N private window remapping is failin

Vastly inferior dev tools, amateur tab management (no multi selecting tabs to rearrange or close), and a lack of extensions that are super valuable in web dev. I keep trying to switch but every time it is clear that Safari is an inferior pr

I actually just gave this another try. First thing I did was see if WebAuthn/U2F support finally works well with Google services, which it now does! Second thing I did was try to open a private window using the universal macOS shortcut

I think we're saying the same thing. If I early exercise my options on day 1, then I still have to wait until the 2 years after the grant date (2 years of employment) to get long term capital gains treatment. If I wait 4 years, then ex

Do these estimates account for some amount of I/O costs? For example with Heroku Postgres the instances use provisioned IOPS which is bundled into the cost, but if you’re running on RDS your cost may vary considerably depending on actu

While it may feel this way, the science strongly indicates this is not the case. The study in the linked article is one proof point. Many others are summarized in Matthew Walker’s “Why We Sleep”.
