Emojis are used mostly in 2 ways: punctuating a sentence so that it’s tone is less ambiguous. A shortcut for an emotional state that is not dissimilar to writing “haha” “ew” or “meh”. As a IRC-chatting teenager in the mid-90s, I am somewhat

I've been using it for a while. It's pretty good yet I think the accuracy of weather prediction could be better (at least in my part of France). Real-time rain and wind is really useful though and much easier to use than all weath

No I did not rule that out. Problem is I rarely have campfires that need tending to.

Exactly. it's not fair in the sense that platform pricing is not set by an "efficient free market". What you pay for is not the features, it's the visibility. So the pricing of gumroad/apple store/etc is way ab

> I have a few areas of expertise that I would consider to be much deeper than the average engineer. That’s what needs to stand out. For the rest, it’s better to talk about the things you built rather than the tech you used to build it.

Why not take 1-2% instead of 30? Just what you need to cover the hosting costs. Taking 0% tells users you’ll end up screwing them one way or another in the future.

Hey there. It’s 4am, just woke up. I have been insomniac for a while now. But I have this kind if insomnia where I have no trouble at all falling asleep in the evening. I just wake up early. Way too early. And then I can’t go back to sleep.

Age discrimination definitely. But also, your resume is to stuffy to be true. I don't believe for a second that you can have proficency at all these skills. That's just not possible. You may have cobbled things using these techs o

Well, he just states that, and then explains it with reasons that are similarly shady... It sounds like a bar conversation.

France does that through the postal service (it’s an address, duh). They’ve been doing it for a while and I think they have a fair amount of users.

Techies care enough about ad blockers that they will install Firefox on normies computers, just so when their normie friend wants to show them a youtube video, they don't spend 15 seconds watching some absurd commercial. Ad blocking is

A quick Google Search says 42% of internet users use some kind of ad blockers. The web with ads and without ads is a vastly different experience. I don't think people are going to mobilize for privacy! I think people will just jump shi

I think they are signing the end of chrome dominance. People are going to flee to Firefox.

Google didn't kill RSS. If RSS was so great, there were plenty of readers available that people could have jumped to. RSS died because it became yet another channel for ad delivery and shitty content. XMPP wasn't killed by Faceboo

Like everything in the stock market technical analysis works when a lot of people are doing technical analysis, which is why people doing it tend to talk about it and sell books, rather than keep their “winning” strategies to themselves. Pe

Gameplay is not great. After 30 seconds of random peeking, it's clear that the winning strategy is to go line by line, then column by column, then diagonals. Not a lot of fun...

Could you summarize the idea behind this? My feeling is that charting rising stocks will give you a bias in thinking the stock will continue to rise. Even worse, it'll make you feel that the whole stock market is going up, when it coul

Well if you want to read a book in its original language, it’s mostly because some idiosyncrasies don’t always translate easily, right? Learning a new language to the point where you get its idiosyncrasies will require a lot of time. Just t

If you have the cash and the time, I’d say it’s pretty low risk to give it a shot. With AI@Apple on your resume, you shouldn’t have a problem finding a new job (possibly higher paying) if things don’t take off in your business venture. Set

Neither decentralising nor open-sourcing search would allow "us" to "take back control" of the results.

What changed? Just an asumption here. But could it be the fault of the web rather than Google's? Could it be that the web itself is being so flooded with SEO-ed crap content that even Google can't sort through it all?

They do the oil thing because that's one thing that doesn't require a change in rules. But strikes should happen less than 10% of the time for the sport to be enjoyable to watch. It's way more interesting to see a professiona
