The boundary between machine and hand is fundamentally nebulous. Saying that we add human process feels like a backwards framing here. People do QA on things done by hand. People feed yarn into their own needles. The current process for kni

I really appreciate the sentiment of the article. I am always annoyed when colleagues say that clothing is made by robots or something like that. To the extent that textiles can b automated they have been automated. A wool sweater has a lot

This is a good question and this is definitely happening but it's not clear how big a percentage of purchased goods fall into this category. Many other sectors (Automobiles, Consumer Electronics, Chemicals), have radically improved in

Surprisingly the Persian Gulf is likely the exact opposite scenario. Modern research suggests that ancient likes like Ur were likely on the coastline while modern Basra would have been totally submerged. In most of the world the post glacia

The Irish famine is roughly comparable to other famines of the 19th century in terms of its mortality rate (i.e. Mysore in the 1870s). A true comparison is difficult since there were not accurate census figures in most famine prone regions

Agreed that there is no need to be a jerk on this discussion. The points you make are generally true in the abstract, but we are talking about CSS here which really is one of the most convoluted and confusing pieces of UI software out there

One of the primary functions of time keeping is coordination between people. The fact that nobody currently exerts their personal preference to not observe daylight savings time would indicate that the social forces overrule individual pref

Was going to say the same thing. Presenting stereo pairs has a lot of layout and resolution issues to say nothing of the fact that some people have stereo blindness to varying degrees (lazy eye is an extreme case). The author is correct tha

Reading and writing are both intimate activities. The reader holds the writer's thoughts in mind, and the writer knows this and acts accordingly. Personally, I don't particularly enjoy reading material that was made by an LLM. Th

I'm working on a music box to stream web radio channels from soma.fm. This was originally a scheme to have a crazy radio interface with seashells as the dials and the such, but now it has become a slog through linux audio drivers and s

Probably true going forward. Though the previous administration had two years to investigate the quarter million job losses that happened under its watch. It does not look like either party is particularly interested in acting on this issue

This really is one of the best color pickers I have ever come across. It breaks out the relevant axes such that is is really easy to understand what they mean and also how the color space bumps up against the limitations of an sRGB calibrat

The article cites a trend without providing any real facts or information for understanding the topic. I.E. which field are seeing growth and which are seeing contraction. It's a bunch of vague guesses at the cause like 'cost of l

Sort of but road erosion is to the fourth power of weight while fuel consumption is approximately linear with weight, so the tax is not exactly proportional to use.

This site simply discloses how much money the American Tax Payer has given to that organization and the goal of that grant. The information is already public and it should be public. There is no threat vector here. Arguably the information

They did the most spam-forward and deceptive growth-hack campaign of all the social networks that I have been forced to join. Straight up lying to everyone’s contacts: “person with hiring authority asked you to join today”, “Person you know

Fair point. I could have and should have done better. Sadly the edit window has passed otherwise I would clean up the original. In a sense, this more or less represents the core purpose of an MVP in action. The author might take the same le

While I appreciate that the author put in the time and effort to write this, I have to say that I disagree with pretty much all of this. Beyond quibbling about specific points, the MVP and the Vertical Slice are functionally similar they to

I remember watching that movie recently and seeing that the cast was almost half stuntmen. The fact that the Chicago police basically gave them free range and unlimited extras also made a lot of things possible. The final chase scene is abo

Came here to say exactly this. The ”author” didn’t even bother to use a decent quality image generator. The first image I saw maxed out my AI slop filter and I stopped reading. Made me wonder how much of the article was written by ChatGPT.

I would second this and say donate today. Focusing on who has money and who doesn’t today is really not a good policy. It is a generalization that is bound to misclassify some old ladies on a fixed income (my mom has one sleeping on her cou

This law will mostly just produce a bunch of extra e-waste since lighting charger cables and headphones will need to be thrown out prematurely. Phones will also get slightly thicker but that is not a huge loss.

There were >100000 layoffs at tech companies in the last 4 years because companies “overhired”. The government is finally taking action to address a “labor shortage” in this sector, because these same companies cannot find anyone to hire
