It seemed to just keep running with the lid closed. I think I woke it up with the keyboard and it didn't care whether the lid was open or closed. I just used the keyboard to unlock by entering the password every time.

There will be a blinding flash which signals the superintelligence singularity. When the smoke clears, you'll see a 50-foot tall Altman/Borg hybrid. He is about to destroy humanity with his death ray. Suddenly, a 50-foot tall Musk

I, too, only use Macs when my employer forces me to do so. Here's how I made it bearable: MacBook lid stays closed at all times; plug it into a Thunderbolt hub (requires just 1 Thunderbolt port for everything); connect a proper matte m

I found that 160F to 180F is enough for instant coffee, depending on personal taste and what you feel like at that moment. I have an electric kettle that has a several buttons for different temperatures, and heating only to 180F saves time

According to that guy: Being shelled in a trench and drinking instant coffee is better than living at home and making coffee from coffee beans. I guess there's a niche for everyone to be happy.

After reading a book about the history of Twitter ("Hatching Twitter"), I got the impression that Jack Dorsey is a disturbed individual with a poor grasp on reality. So it's not surprising that Block is poorly run.

I used to work with a guy who configured his IDE to use some wacky all-cursive font and it was awful. Not just having to read code in cursive, but also ligatures for things like "=>". So with every bit of code I had to constant

I thought so, too - dangerously close to Comic Sans, but for the block-quote, they throw in a cursive lowercase L. Just the one letter in cursive. I assume font nerds are going "ooh, it's so subtle, so elegant!"

Some of that attitude survives to this day: When an OS uses any memory that's otherwise unused as a file cache, which is instantly available if an application wants more memory, but isn't shown as "unused": "This OS

It must have been difficult and frustrating to work as part of the Windows team back in those days. You see all the wacky software that doesn't follow the rules properly, does whatever it wants, breaks things. And you have to figure ou

That should be self-evident and obvious, but apparently it still needs to be pointed out. On one extreme, you have the current world where there are millions of 1-line or 1-function packages like leftPad and isArray. On the other extreme, t

You can use TeamViewer (free) for remote assistance for Windows. It even has a web client so you don't have to use Windows if you don't want to.

If your product works as described, I think it would be great for a lot of small businesses. The only problem is that your potential customers don't know about it, and there's no easy way to discover it.

by chihuahua 7mo ago
The examples look fine to me. Potential customers want to see the menu (or product range or similar), location, a couple of pictures. It's supposed to give useful and necessary information. The intended purpose is: Before: your cafe do

It was Beats. At first it was found in counterfeit Beats, but later the same was found in genuine Beats. And then guess who bought Beats for their exquisite metal weight technology? That's right, it was Apple.

Totally agree. And also, this limitation of Spotify probably affects 0.00000001% of their users. In other words, it just doesn't matter (except to those 3 people)

I got a pair of AirPods Pro, paid for by a past employer, and it's the only Apple product I like. I'd even give some of my own money to Apple if I had to buy another pair. When I'm wearing wired earbuds, the feeling of gettin

I don't have any nostalgia for old machines, I understand the 5- or 6-figure price tags were ridiculous, but I'm curious - in what way did Unix machines back then work poorly?

The Gatling quote is hilarious. Did the inventor of the machine gun really think that each company of 100 men was going to be reduced to one guy with a Gatling gun, and 99 of them send him to the battlefield by himself, saying "good lu

Interesting perspective. One could argue that nuclear weapons are among the less harmful things invented, since they killed fewer people than knives, clubs, spears, guns, cars, cigarettes, alcohol, asbestos, coal power plants, and probably
