At some point we have to say it takes too much. If it takes 20 college-educated social workers, medical professionals, etc. just to enable one junkie to eek out a miserable existence doing drugs and sleeping on the street, it's too muc

It’s hard even when you don’t take into consideration that you don’t know what you’ve misremembered. Try writing a memoir. You’ll realize you never actually remember what anyone says, but caveating your dialog with “and then I think they sa

I stress about getting my shit stolen every time I’m traveling and being completely locked out of everything. I stash an extra phone separate from my main phone every time I travel for that reason.

It's not "less noise" just because it's shorter. Code golf is extremely hard to read exactly because it's so terse. If Math.ceil is making your code hard to read, there's probably something else going on. Being

Funny. Georgia (US) is well known as the home of Coca-Cola but when I was a kid, i remember all my kin in South Georgia drinking RC Cola.

The problem with that is that everything is something you did online now. People are constantly recording. There’s an astonishing amount of embarassing shit on TikTok just because someone was recording at the right time. Maybe in the past y

A couple of months ago someone was on here announcing their healthcare-but-not-healthcare startup for ADHD [1]. This is a great example of why not to trust these services. Relationship with your provider is extremely important when it comes

Hence the complaints that Apple isn’t doing enough. It’s technically possible to know ahead of time if an SMS or call comes from a fraud operation or from an MFA number. Personally I don’t know if the phone is the right place to handle that

The problem I have with these is that unknown but wanted senders get squelched with the spam. I get MFA tokens via SMS from assorted random numbers, or worse calls from them (looking at you Citibank).

The problem is that someone has to squat your domain for you for as long as want to prevent an adversary from registering your domain and intercepting any emails still being delivered to it.

Eye tracking, probably not, but localizing the VR headset in space without needing an expensive rig in your living room is cool. Or perhaps even being able to build a 3D reconstruction of your living room, localize yourself within it, send

Tracking is a core competency for VR headsets. It could also be used for AI-assisted video production, which is the bread and butter of their advertising platform. Users generate videos, and with more powerful editing tools they can churn o

In my opinion all of these mental wellness apps start out in the good faith category but will transition to borderline scam. Same as most VC startups. Mental health service providers are expensive, and trying to get equivalent services at r

You’re describing QC. The reason that’s not sufficient is because your test user might not meet the conditions that trigger a bug. Trivial example: a bug that only shows up for users using RTL languages. A test suite allows you to test edge

Oh really? I just commented about how this misconception made me change my behavior. Wish that was more clear, or that I had higher reading comprehension.
