Is this better than the "save to pdf" feature on your profile in LinkedIn?

I hear you that the end result is the software product, but what I'm saying is there are a lot of middle steps and grey area that could also be argued to be "software." In other words, I think I was trying to say I simply dis

It's the healthcare industrial complex. Just like the military. You get back some percentage of what you charge. They're incentivized to charge more because they'll get more, and sometimes it's an all-or-nothing. I have

I _think_ what you're getting at is saying the suspect wants the credit, in response to the parent saying the next one will be better at evasion by learning from his mistakes, right? And implying the next one might not want to evade ei

What about the product of the instructions? Or as another commenter said, the runtime execution? Which of those is more “software” than the other and what does it make the other? Seems reasonable to believe the thing happening due to the in

I've been using Mailcatcher for dev on a rails app that... well, sends mail sometimes. It has been so incredibly easy to use and run, and I can't imagine needing anything else than what it has. Thanks @sj26 and collaborators!

I’d say generally for most people, at least anecdotally, their work laptop is their only laptop because they’re expensive and have good specs. Especially for Apple products (which is the majority of the share of hardware in this anecdote),

Fair, sorry, thanks.

They want money, they’re riding the hype wave, not advancing anything and I’m sure most or all know it.

The Dawn of Everything, GEB, and House of Leaves are probably my top 3.

They have large bank accounts because of their scale. You’re adding to the parent’s case.

It's all part of the Sam plan to make as much money as possible before whatever happens next.

How much do you know about "the world"? That's a serious generalization. Lots of cities out there, lots of people. Maybe it's the systems that prevent us from seeing their efforts.

And with the latest firmware, can't even do the badge doubling :/

That's exactly what happened to mine. They nerfed it real hard early on and killed almost all actual utility of it. You can still find earlier firmware versions that do the old thing but you have to hack the hell out of anything to mak

It does make it net-bad because the educational content should exist without the trash, which is far more prevalent. It forces the positive stuff to comply with the trash algorithms that make them worse and also forces them to comply with t

Fair, it wasn’t clear to me that you meant “skipped writing about it” - I thought you were just some rando that was commenting on something that they skipped over reading in the article (which I now understand you wrote). Sorry for the misu

A reward does not need to come from “someone”, and usually doesn’t. You should expect reward from dedication because you’ll get it. Not from some god on high or some random person called Tyler Smith. It’s from yourself or the fruits of your

You didn’t spot the relationship with the “no doesn’t mean no” stuff because as you said in the next sentence, you skipped it. Nice one.

This is not how YouTube, or people, or virality work though. The fact there is some useful educational content is a byproduct of the machine of lucrative trash of the capitalist hellhole spiral, and the written word will always prevail comp

This doesn't appear to be a product marketed to "moms." But it also isn't clear how it works at all for a "power user" like me.

I'm 100% the same. I'm an engineering director at a tech company so basically one of my top strengths is ignoring sales attempts. That said, during university I worked for the development center of the school (fundraising) at the

This is great advice to people who DO have a job that takes up "all their time." Find ways to do things you enjoy; maybe eventually, it even leads to a job you might like more or that takes up less time so that you can continue pu

How much of that do you think was by following his "design" vs just luck and privilege falling into his lap? I think that's the point he's getting at, but I don't know his backstory and I don't see where you gl

Just because an individual has the right, doesn't mean the other entities have the means or desire.

That's fair. But I do feel like a Macbook pro workhorse ought to feel like it has similar lifespan as a heavily-used desktop. Maybe I'm too optimistic, or the wear and tear of portability really has a lot of influence here.

I have not had the same experience at all. I have MacBooks and old iPads or phones that are totally bricked and unable to update, but PC towers I built 15 years ago that still run like a champ. Just an anecdote, but I feel like I HAVE to up

Also auth. I would rather just lose all my shit than try to go through the login rigamarole on either of these sites again.
