Better idea: get stoned. You’re less likely to engage in reckless activities on cannabis compared to alcohol. At least, that’s been my experience in this situation.

Serious question: what do you want that much bandwidth for? I could upgrade from 100Mb/s to 1Gb/s but I haven’t because honestly can’t think of a use case for myself.

I’ve had this thought floating around in my head for a while, and it seems wrong, but I’m not completely sure why. I’m hoping someone more knowledgeable might be able to set me straight. Prices on the coasts — like 5k rent — are astronomica

Spot-on predictions! If I predict this coin flip will be heads, and I flip it, and it is heads… does that mean I can predict coin flips? What if I do it three times in a row? What if I do it 10 times in a row? [1] [1]: https://yo

Trusting foundations is the only way anything in computing gets done. If I’m at the point where I’m debugging 3rd party code, a little bit of unfamiliar Python syntax is the least of my problems.

At my company, the analytics APIs are provided by a platform team. I think there’s some utility in a company owning an abstraction away from a third party. Supposing if Amplitude (or Heap) were to ever go under, or if we were to want to cha

Twitter doesn’t have interests beyond making a profit. The shareholders of Twitter don’t have interests beyond making a profit. The company’s owners are aligned with Twitter insofar as they both seek maximal return on investment. Just becau

When I was younger, I would always skip over those kinds of long, windy paragraphs full of visual descriptions. It’s like noise to me. I do have a sort of movie playing in my head, but it’s not really a visual or auditory experience. It’s m

Even if you use Amplitude, this could still be helpful information. I’m not sure what kind of APIs Amplitude provides, but we use it at my job. In my work, the details of Amplitude are abstracted away such that this information is still hig

I moved from Sunnyvale, CA to Austin, TX last year. I don’t miss much, but I sure am sad to be missing out on this!

But nobody is saying that accessible entrances should only be used for disabled persons and nothing else. Here, the author is asserting that there is only one valid use case of !important, and that it shouldn’t be used in the general case.

I’m mildly upset right now because The State of California is doing this to me. I moved out of California on 7/10, and my vehicle registration expired on 7/14. The Vehicle Registrations Collections office sent a “Demand for Paymen

The author discusses the sequential leaps towards functional programming: from mixins, to HOCs, to render props, and finally to hooks. I’m very comfortable with hooks, but I’m not much of a functional programmer beyond that. So my question

Joe, while no genius, is smarter than he gives himself credit for. He’s not touting ignorance, he is being humble and implying that his audience should think for themselves.

I wonder how many were considered “winterized” before last year? This article doesn’t tell us what the delta is. The “cold snap” terminology is also confusing to me. Is Texas expected to have one this year, and if so, at what point does a “

Sounds like the Lkxijjlewlf Acceptance Factor (LAF) is also very low. You have something in common with the parent’s wife! The parent did no shaming; as you pointed out it’s extremely reasonable to not want to jump through hoops. Any shame

I use a (paid) app called Halide, but there are others out there too. I'm personally not aware of a way to do it with the native Camera app, but it would be cool if it exists.

Sure, but there is a major difference between color correction and, say, replacing a head with a leaf. Historically cameras have merely altered the style of images. These days smartphone cameras are altering the content of images.

I would gladly pay $5 a month for a Google-quality search service that doesn’t track me. I’ve been using Duck Duck Go for most of this year, but frequently find myself falling back to !g because Google’s results really are much better. I wo

I think a lot of JS haters haven’t spent much time with modern JS. That’s how it was for me, at least. I would laugh at JS wat-isms and think back to the old days of jQuery spaghetti. Python was my favorite language. Now I’m a full time JS&
