I really love the idea that the Hummer EV has which is a row of large (hopefully clicky?) switches that each have a tiny display above them indicating their function. They can be reprogrammed by the user, but still interacted with entirely

I don't want to speak for bobsmooth either but I'll take their comment at face value until given reason otherwise. I agree with the sentiment, I think it's underrated. I live a fairly hedonistic life and I'm overall a ve

Do note that that calculator uses different units for air travel and car travel. It uses MtCO2e for air and kgCO2e for car travel. When I went to the calculator I saw the same as you, but it turns out that with a few dozen flights a year th

I can't help but re-watch this entire video in full every time I come across it. What an amazing documentation. I wonder what next transition looked like to them. I imagine the most significant change was moving from paste ups to digit

By that logic you shouldn't buy anything at any time besides food and shelter because that money could be $$$ after appreciating for years or decades. We only live one life, you can't try to optimize every dollar. There's a t

Your driving comment made me giggle and then I continued scrolling on. I think it was lighthearted and fine as it was, just my input.

For a good chunk of the pandemic I used PlateJoy which did just this. You gave it preferences, and it told you what meals you were going to make that week and a consolidated shopping list. I enjoyed it a lot, but eventually my life got too

I'm not sure which museum in Everett you're referring to. Up north in Everett there's the Boeing Factory with their associated corporate Future of Flight museum, which is fairly small. Factory tour is extremely cool though, I

I live in Seattle and hadn't heard of this! Excited to check it out. I'm still mourning the loss of our Living Computers Museum, maybe this can fill that hole in my life at least a little bit.

Or you can look at the source and see the list of words. They're sequential, so you know every future word. The "Wordle 222" is actually just the 222 index into the array.

Hey Varun, this is fantastic and I see a ton of good technical and ux decisions made here, esp. for your age! As someone who was pursuing similar stuff at your age, all I can say is you've got a really fun career just ahead. It's

I think there's different types of work/life balance. Temporal, spatial, social, etc. Some people strive to keep their work and personal locations explicitly separate. Others set timers and hard boundaries as to exactly when they&

You had 18+ years spending 24/7 with your parents. Also, I'm sure the weekly calls aren't quite enough from their end, they never are for a parent--understandably!

But it's never enough proof, the goal posts never stop moving. We can't keep playing the game forever, or we'd be paralyzed as a society. For example, there were two months of audits, recounts, and countless court cases. The
