A lot of people are comparing reMarkable with other e-ink note taking tablets. But I think that it would be wise for anyone buying these things to also compare them with pen and paper. I only bought rm 2 for one reason - to cut down on pape

I suppose that if fewer than 1/10000 birds are killed by an X number of wind turbines, then we could guesstimate that fewer than 1/5000 birds will be killed by 2X number of wind turbines in a given area. Of course, many other fact

That episode of The Simpsons was very on point.

Yes, that's true as well. Unfortunately, there are certain industries like AAA games, TV and movies where ambitious people are generally exploited through under-resourcing. Crunch is relatively normal, and it does make good economic se

Yes, it does generally lead to ER (particularly for stress symptoms being confused for something serious) now and then.

I am a software engineer and I earn £55k. It's about twice the national average. I must live an economy lifestyle to put anything aside - taking care to not heat my home too much, to never eat out, and not buy any luxuries. And on some

I work for a tech company that promotes internally quite well in recent years. But they also only want to hire senior, principal and lead level engineers to develop a mature workforce. Unfortunately, they fail to attract enough talent to re

The UIs around the year 2001 were fantastically accessible. The recent obsession with flatness undid a lot of good practices.

Yes, but we can't expect people to read ToS (much less keep up with ToS changes) for all the software they use. That would be madness - books and volumes worth of legalese just to get basic work done. Not to mention that some of ToS le

To be honest, it would probably benefit all of humanity if we stopped rewriting the same code to then fix the same bugs in it, and instead just used each other's algorithms to do meaningful work. I work for a large tech company whose l

Yes, that would be a good solution too. And there are also other good platforms. I am looking to migrate from Medium to bearblog.dev. The markdown format should make any future migrations easier, and also let me write articles offline, with

Medium used to be great for me as an author because I didn't need to care about hosting, spam filtering, tinkering with themes, keeping wordpress up to date and similar things. I could just write. That was in contrast to managing wordp

Similarly, currency symbols + noreply/no_reply sender addresses could be useful to filter out receipts. Though it might make sense to have a higher-priority rule or an exception for your bank domains.

Yes, exactly. The knowledge about low GI diets having a positive impact on weight has been around for a while if you knew where to look, or if there was a fad that briefly made them popular. Still, in recent years I've been observing a

It's good to see that in recent years we have been talking more openly about more nuanced aspects of obesity than just calories in vs. calories out. I think that this reductive way of thinking (while practical to an extent) has stigmat

I don't want to dismiss the effort and innovation that went into Quest Pro. I respect the team for innovating on so many aspects of the headset at once. Although for the $1400+ price range, I would love to see some "next-gen"
