I've been home schooling my son for the past 3 years. The reason why it's "too hard" is because the traditional model of learning in public schools (in the US) translates very poorly to home schooling. Once you stop fo

"So...evidence?" All people are saying is that there's a reasonable hypothesis that this thing came out of that laboratory. There's enough circumstantial evidence to support that theory even if it's not a leading t

I was blown away this morning when I fired up maps. I use maps for traffic data for my commute. The UI improvements are great and I love that there's geometry now for just about everything. Looking forward to discovering new feature

Movie going is something that has been on the steady decline for years. The reality is, people aren't replacing movie watching with reading, they are just watching movies in a more private setting. Media consumption is at unprecedent

As an adult, my body temp has always been low, around 97.2*. I also never get fevers. I'm also very athletic- I bike 3-4 times a week. Maybe there is a correlation with sedentary life, but I don't think it's a factor in my

The point is that (primarily) the road needs to be smart, not the car. There should ideally be a synergy between the car and road, but the road has to be the primary vector to guide the car.

If you owned a 286 or a slow 386, owning a 486 with math co-processor was definitely a romantic desire in 1990.

That's great, not sure how I missed this video since I follow you guys on Youtube.

My criticism is a testament to how good the pixel art is in CE1. My son and I love your game so I'll be buying the sequel, but I feel like you are going more towards the Renowned Explorers visuals which I felt was completely inferior

Curious Expedition is a fantastic Roguelike. I've been playing it forever. I'm not pleased that they are ditching the gorgeous pixel art for coreldraw-style clipart in the sequel. Regarding their development stack... this game p

I guess this is what Intel has to do at this point. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It's absolutely not bullshit. I've worked places where this is true and places where it isn't. In my experience, the former is more common.

Everyone else has pretty much explained all the reasons why a stationary bike can work better than an actual bike for fitness... Funny thing is I'm really likely to get a good street bike now since I'm in such good shape to use on

Exercise is all about routine. I have a very hard time getting into one when I work from home... I don't have a commute that brings me past a gym so I have to force myself out of the house to go to one 15-20 minutes away. I also like

As a work from home developer, having a Peloton has been a godsend for me. I could never motivate myself to get out to the gym after work... the effect of that was a constant feeling of malaise and fatigue, presumably because I wasn't

"Lord knows, you can't actually grab the scrollbar and navigate with the bloody thing." Do these people not have scroll wheels or scrolling gestures on their touch devices? I get it that some content is too long for scroll w

I lived in Canada for 2 years. The week I moved there is when T-Mobile started offering free unlimited roaming in Canada. In my time in Canada I kept my T-Mobile plan and didn't even have to get an unlimited plan since I already had

I just care about the bugs and the quirkiness around how playlists work. I think the UI simplicity is refreshing as well.

I just checked and I'm running 3.0.6. That's definitely a helpful interim fix, but I'm looking forward to the more robust change in 4.0.

You seriously think that adding some checks to account for missing files in a playlist is a hard thing? I know it's probably a bit more involved than that, but lets be serious here. I'm not asking for much. I do think making the

I only made the comment about the lack of interest because of how long these issues have existed, and I certainly don't think any of us are entitled to a better UI if it's not a priority at the moment. You guys have my utmost res

That's possible, but I think you've already reached a point of diminishing returns with a standard teabag. They do have a more premium feel, so it's probably a combination of perceived quality and cost savings.

Many cheap Lipton teas have this type of sachet. Using this plastic is a horrible trend and I'm not sure how it started. My worry was always more about leeching, but the microplastic results might even be more disturbing. Such a sha

As much as I love VLC, them blowing off the lack of UI polish is why I have a love/hate relationship with it. For instance, VLC still forces you to kill the process when it can't find all of the files in a playlist (if you delete

All of this can be addressed with best practices. Just enforcing lint rules can mitigate the majority of your complaints. Flow and Typescript can take that even further. Webpack will streamline your process. My primary complaint would be

I shudder to think how many people will read this headline and immediately takeaway that React Native/Flutter/Electron are terrible cross platform solutions.
