The first Pebble was kind of cutting edge when it came in 2013 and it looked awesome. This new one looks like an electronic tag and is just a medium priced smartwatch with limited capabilities.

Why would anyone support this knowing how it went the last time? Eric isn't in this because he want you to have a better watch, he is in this so he can sell you out at the first opportunity. It may not be FitBit or Automattic this time

Yeah, it's ridiculous. Specially when there are good or even better alternatives out there. Postman was awesome back in the days, but now it's just slow, bloated and too complicated for 99.9% of use cases. It has become the Micros

I believe one of the selling points are the shared collections. So you have all the secrets and endpoints and whatever in collections that you share amongst a team. Now, noone has access to any of this and the hassle to set this up locally

Imagine all the major companies now unable to debug or test API's. We are probably talking about millions of dollars in lost productivity. What are some good alternatives? Postman is kind of bloated anyways.

I was thinking the same thing. Why pay $20 - it's still a Parker pen if you use a Parker refill. This has little to do with the quality of writing and is more about bragging rights and social signaling.

For me, the reason I do programming, is the wonderful rollercoaster of feeling like a god in one moment, to feeling like a moron in the next. I think I kind of got addicted to that :D

To me it seems that Atkinson Hyperlegible Mono has really bad kerning. I think I'll stick to JetBrains Mono for the time being.

One example is Junaid Hussain. Drone strikes may not be for everyone, but killing hackers isn't anything new.

I like the general idea of having zero tolerance for bad behaviour.

The unfair match between good and bad has most likely been a conundrum for thousands of years. Multiple solutions has been proposed as to how to deal with the bad ones, including; kill them, forgive them, educate and reform them - but nothi

The highpoint of my Linux desktop journey, was my Compiz Fusion setup. That one kicked ass back in the days :D

by bronlund 1y ago
This is kind of the same reason I gave up on the Linux desktop and went for macOS. When I first learned about Linux I was thinking "Sweet!. This is going to kick Microsoft's ass!", but this was 30 years ago and instead of a k

If you have already been there, why would you go again?

I like shameless plugs that are honest about it. I'll surely take a look :)

Yeah! macOS gets more and more like Windows by the minute. I dread the day, in about 700 years, when you can hardly tell the difference anymore.

It does just one thing really. It bridges the gap between what you want to do and how to do it.

"We have four different standards, why don't we just make one proper!". And that's why we now have five standards. Jokes aside, good luck with this one :)

I see where you are coming from, but reading other peoples research is also research. And what you say about bias, is most likely true for a lot of academic research as well. And a lot of people actually do their own research. I once tried

It makes perfectly sense to me that the COVID vaccines could be killing people. The amount of testing they did was very limited and the little they did wasn't really a big success. How mRNA interacts with the human cell and the immune

I agree to some extent, but I don't think it is as simple as that. Part of being smart is the amount of information we retain. For some though, the more they learn about the world around us, the more depressed they get.

Maybe, but probably not the way you think. I can imagine that Niels Bohr might have appeared somewhat "out there" to his family members. Meanwhile, from his perspective, his family likely seemed perfectly reasonable.

by bronlund 1y ago
If you got a family member that's weird and talking nonsense, the probability that you're the smart one(s) is about the same as you being the stupid one(s).

The fact that there are plenty of hints on this same page as to what he did wrong, does not work in your favour.

I see your point, but I think it depends on the situation. In this case, he misunderstood the task, and instead of reflecting on his mistakes, he complained about it online. Not a great look.

Failing an assignment might cost you one job opportunity, but complaining about it publicly can harm your reputation and limit your chances with a lot of employers. In the long run, venting online can be far more damaging than the initial s

I think it makes sense retiring a TLD for a soveregin state dissolved 34 years ago. This wouldn't be the first time a TLD has been retired and probably not the last.
