I feel like I'd been ok, previously. I've spent a lot of time in loud places for most of my life. It's definitely possible that I simply didn't recognize the issue. Interesting point about music. I'm terrible at

I started to have the same issue about 10 years ago. Suddenly bars and crowded places became far less enjoyable for me because I had such a hard time keeping up with conversations. I had my hearing checked and while it wasn't perfect

You're absolutely right, this website works fine unless you deliberately disable it.

Absolutely! My number is from a city I haven't lived in since 2012. Anyone I know who calls me from that city is definitely in my contacts. Everything else is spam or politicians (also spam, but less so as someone who had voted in l

I have DND on all day/night for exactly this reason. It's set up to allows calls from people in my contact list to get through - which is fine because none of them are going to call me unless they _really_ need to. What's fr

Quite a few years ago, I spent many hours making my way up the support tiers at Time Warner in Brooklyn to resolve some connection issues (cable modem). I patiently waded through each tier as they repeatedly asked me to reset my modem and

I really appreciate this story, but I'm not sure I agree with seeing this tragically. A working relationship is just something different. There is still emotion, because we're human. But more than anything, there's mutual t

I did the same. I don't love using them, but it's better than keeping different cables around.

I think the accepted answer is still an important signal. I've seen cases where the highest voted answer does not necessarily respond to some nuance in the original question. It may be an overall better approach to the general matter

I use a command line app called nb to manage my markdown files and a single markdown file per week, named after the first day of the week. For instance, this week's is called "Weekly Summary - 2021-09-13". The format is an H

That's an interesting use of the word "easy".

I've been finding that vector.dev keeps up well. Before I moved to containers, I was using rsyslog, which also kept up incredibly well. I've had both set up to pour directly into elasticsearch, which, if tuned, can keep up as we

I appreciate the goals and tenets of observability, but I really wish these tools didn't absolutely insist upon being integrated into my software. Give me a log format and parse my logs and then do what you will with those logs to prov

Are you implying that web applications are a fad? I'm also a fan of obsidian.md.

Not quite, but I appreciate you for asking for a clarification. The web is absolutely document-first. Our applications are _still_ just documents, which is pretty incredible. I just don't think it's very good at being document-f

That's clearly stated, but not well supported by our experience. I agree that many sites are poorly implemented because they're trying to replace browser functionality with poorer versions written in JavaScript. This can be the

I don't think the comparison between documents and applications is anywhere near as interesting as _why_ we've collectively decided to tie ourselves into knots to create applications out of documents over the past few decades. It

I started working remotely over DSL at the end of 2001. I also recall getting an ISDN line in the late 90s, but I was working in an office at the time.

This table[1] posted by @codezero explains it. > Since 1900, the numbers of recognized meteorite “falls” is about 690 for the whole Earth. That’s 6.3 per year. Only 98 of those occurred in the US. That’s less than 1 per year. Even when a

Interesting solution for tracking open tabs. Every so often I like to dump all my open tabs into pocket just to make absolutely sure I will never see them again.

I just watched this demo on twitter[1] and found it entertaining that it was auto-completing useless, redundant comments for the developer. Pretty sure that says more about all of us developers as a whole than about Copilot. 1: https:&#x2

I've been loading the menus on my phone before I get to the restaurant. Works great. Never have to concern myself with a signal or wifi or anything. And sometimes I even know what I want before I show up. Also, because of the QR cod

Any suggestions on the other end: where to sell a business that is both profitable and should continue to be? Asking for a friend who is looking to retire in the next couple years (at the normal retirement age).

Just chiming in to say some of us live in the big expensive cities precisely because of the life we lead outside of work. Otherwise, agreed.

I generally agree with this, but think it falls far outside of the bounds of work (re: "future of work"). I lived in NYC for 13 years, and worked remotely full-time for about 11 of those years. I explicitly lived there because I
