It's wild how my car won't let me change basic settings while vehicle is in drive (too much menu nav as to be distraction & I've had cars that would only let me edit the navigation destination while in park) yet - this ex

I definitely like the flexibility our system provides. I changed majors a couple times before I found what I could tolerate (can't say it's a passion). I do not think the kids today are as comparable to the kids of yester*. I thin

Tons of devs (CS grad devs that is) have made their career writing basic CRUD apps, iOS apps, or python stuff that probably doesn't scratch the surface of all the CS course work they did in their degree. It's just like everyone cr

You went from "median" job/employer to "best" employee in high value/pay/education roles. These best employee's don't want to work in the "median college-degree-required job", they like

I see it all the time. I actually don’t have an issue with it though. I’m usually alone in the room, or with my family and we all know that we poop. Not that we don’t respect privacy but when circumstance arise, we can bunk together in clos

I think that’s how it reached mainstream awareness for adults . Kids still are into it to some degree. I’m not sure how much staying power it has, I just know it’s not really dead.

On my work PC, they all but forced me to create an account just to watch videos. I could not find a way around it (I didn’t try super hard). I don’t use my personal accounts on that device so I just created a throwaway.

I’m still using Amazon as much as I was before, it’s just a more miserable experience now which I can feel and the annoyances are compounding. I’ve not yet done anything that would show in their numbers, like cancel my prime or start trying

I think this speaks more to using the trending TikToks of the world as a gauge for what is popular. It’s not a great gauge. Just because the trend there is waning, IRL this toy/brand has a huge opportunity to stick around for awhile. I

My 7 year old son just recently got a few keychain ones as birthday party favors bag gifts. Basically one of the lowest form of toy for fashion, but very good for consistency in sales. He’s also rolling his eyes at anything “6 7” related af

I used the original Google Desktop app a long time ago and even though I didn’t need to use it often it did become my de facto way of opening/locating files (I was really bummed when they killed it).

Since video is your thing, I feel like you need to just make a very edited demo reel and put all your energy into trying to get people to watch that video. Meaning, remove almost all text and bloat from the site and just show us all the coo

It reminds me of tobacco again. All these smokers, coughing up lungs, dying of lung/throat cancers, gee I wonder if it’s correlated? I knew when I was a kid and everyone in my family smoked it was unhealthy, it’s just obvious, how it w

Of course you’re absolutely right and the whole thing just illustrates how dysfunctional the US is. I mean, this edict originated in a tweet or whatever it’s called now. Even after months, nobody could be bothered to think about how to prop

You’re still the one choosing to be offended (or whatever) by my conciseness and trying to force me to appeal to your preferences in terms of communication and I simply have no interest in participating in those kinds of gymnastics. There’s

If I don’t know you, sure. The source of this usually comes from a teammate via a chat app (slack, teams) or email. In that context, I’m telling them concisely “I don’t have enough information to help you”. Tell me more. Figure out how to a

Definitely true although my motive is more based on a principle of “don’t let people send me on a fishing trip”. I’m glad to help but people need to learn the proper way of asking without completely inconveniencing the other person

I think they’re trying to replace the hole they expect when the app stores are forced to be open. It is sad they lack any plan other than ads, it’s a complete lack of imagination from what is supposed to the one of the most innovative compa

The thing is, the US model is still better in aggregate as it basically results in every single unicorn being birthed (in theory, there’s simply no lack of funding for plausibly good ideas). Focusing on a conversion metric is a vanity exerc
