Adding my own question, great topic, have any of you hackers figured out a great bed cooling system to buy or build? It seems like there are a lot of options, but not reviewed particularly well. Bedjet probably the best example but there se

God forbid anyone be multifaceted. It seems the the rise of influencer culture led to everyone else feeling like they had to only be in a specific niche, and only speak about it or they weren’t going to serve their “fanbase”. And you know t

That is interesting and from a very layman’s understanding it would be unexpected. I’m just a casual fan of history and have listened to a lot of lectures for Mediterranean history around bronze age, and my takeaway was that the consensus a

This is from the same person (team?) that made Turing Tumble, which has been great fun to do with my 8 year old. The puzzles are a lot of fun and gives a nice intuitive feel for “circuits” and basic mechanical logic ( ands, ors, counters, e

Looking for increased pay based on programming language used is going to lead to disappointment more often than not. The best thing that anyone can do to increase their compensation is be aligned with a business, or part of a business where

It’s not going to happen. That’s not the way that distribution works at scale. Just like the “kids are starving in $country/continent” lines that were often said when I was a kid, it’s horrible and I wish it wasn’t true but whether I c

Thumbs up for Chai Pani, I was really sad when they discontinued their packaged/frozen food for home a few months ago, was great to have their curries in the freezer and ready to go in the same amount of time it took to cook some rice.

So many comments here seem to ignore the existence of Apples screentime controls for kids. If you haven’t looked recently they’re very solid and gives kids a good way to communicate with restricted list of contacts and otherwise safely use

Can’t forget jazz there either. And I’d argue that blues and rock are separate, but that most rock until late 90s was heavily influenced by blues. But that’s all just fun trying to draw lines where there isn’t a clear difference sometimes.

Things like this happen often and every time it does the media takes the position that they should be protected and held in a special position because of their employer. I wish we would collectively agree that press is a thing people do, no

true on the concessions, not quite as true on the souvenirs. I got to go to the kids drive-chip-putt competition a few years ago. The branded shirts, blankets, bags, etc all go for quite a premium and people love buying them anyway. It is a

GamePigeon ( https://apps.apple.com/us/app/gamepigeon/id1124197642 ) does something similar. Completely unaffiliated but it’s a solid little gaming app and useful for playing games with older family members.

I don’t know about that. The way I remember it “malware” as a term was invented to be a bigger umbrella term to account for things like bonzi buddy when “virus” wasn’t quite as good of a description.
