Seems like a slick app. Give me an Apple Pencil block that lets me sketch up ideas and I’m completely sold. EDIT: They have this! This is wonderful

The idea of treading water, 50 meters down, in the middle of the ocean, in pitch black, makes me so anxious just sitting on my couch thinking about it...I couldn’t imagine just...sitting there, knowing that in every direction it effectively

I’m a massive fan of traditional bulletin board style forums (like vanilla, phpbb style). Even tried launching one last year to compliment the temporal qualities of hacker news. Had decent initial engagement on it but it eventually faded, i

You definitely are being hyperbolic here. There's no world where the only jobs available are food delivery, even in the fucked up world of Covid.

I haven't physically seen a doordash driver since covid started, they just leave it at my door. I also don't want to exchange paper money with people at this point in time. The odds of DoorDash lying about tip distribution are bas

As far as I'm aware, no one is forced to drive for these companies. I very much get your point, but in a fully opt-in scenario, it's hard to feel like I'm compromising my ethics by ordering cheeseburgers in an app.

Because of covid, my wife and I have been using DoorDash probably twice a week. As others have mentioned, if you have a chase sapphire reserve card, they give you like $60 in credit this year and next, and free dash pass, so it makes it act

I would love to use safari, but I am a big fan of having separate chrome windows for different google accounts (personal vs work) and I don't think safari can handle this.

So I REALLY don’t mean this to be cynical, but: other than this clearly being a beautiful product, and I guess the simple fact that it’s just not a Google product, what exactly does this bring to the table that Google slides doesn’t already

I just signed up for this because it looks pretty neat, and installed the chrome extension. Now I can't for the life of me figure out how to get back into the chrome extension settings after having gone through the initial sign up wiza

So that’s the thing: a standup isn’t for discussing what you’re doing, it’s to ensure that things are on track (which the default assumption is they are) and a forum for surfacing blockers/impediments to sort out offline. Assuming you

I have a pi 4 running in the closet that hosts pi hole, Plex, Medusa, transmission, and a few other media acquisition solutions. All running with a simple docker-compose script. My test for these types of projects is incident rate of my wif

As someone who used to do a decent amount of web and search engine results scraping in a past life, one thing I’ve never understood about DDG is how on earth this setup is economical. If they’re hitting (presumably) bing’s api a few billion

I didn’t mean I was expecting them to nail it and am surprised they didn’t, I meant my mind was blown that they whiffed so hard that it doesn’t seem like they even swung the bat.

It’s both incompetence and complete cowardice in the face of an extreme challenge.

I very much agree. The whole situation is just crossing fingers and hoping things will go away as a replacement for pragmatism in the face of no good options. Complete failure of leadership at every single level.

I mean, for every 20-30 kids, there’s also an adult trying to educate them. Everyone’s fucked in the situation, and all you need to do is follow the money to understand the motivations. For example, my wife has to take real time attendance

My wife is a kindergarten teacher, and has been back at (virtual) teaching now for 2 weeks. Whatever your political persuasion, it’s pretty mind blowing how little the districts prepared for and invested in a virtual year. It’s not exactly

I guess this question fits well enough this thread: I’ve always wanted to learn Spanish, and have tried lots of apps and various techniques and can listen ok, read well, and barely speak. I have an 18 month son, and a Hispanic nanny who bas

Because I’m always streaming to Apple TV’s, I’m pretty much always just direct streaming and not transcoding. It’s in my todo list to async transcode all downloads to an optimized format, but it’s basically a premature optimization for my u

What caused you to pick a Pi as your primary machine? Not doubting you, just interesting to see you have two 4K monitors yet just a pi for your computer
