A monitor arm with rotation support helps with this! Useful if you're planning to have a long read session, since there is a bit of setup cost (physically rotating the screen and then updating your OS's display settings). An iPad

The difference is you breaking consistency for your use cases, vs some product designer somewhere breaking consistency for all of their users for whatever reason without the end user having any say in it. Pithily, the cost of a product de

Finda’s architecture[0] is great for this discussion. On the one hand, you can say “look, an Electron app that’s actually fast!” On the other hand, you can say “wow web apps are slow; it takes ~50x longer to render a basic list than to rege

IMO desktop apps aren’t quite equivalent to native apps. Native apps look and behave in a consistent way. They have • Familiar UI primitives: - Controls and chrome are in the same place - Font sizes are the same across apps - Consiste

Personally, I'd be totally happy for the game engine to fill in the details. It's more about the familiarity/general sensation of driving through places known places and exploring new, real-world ones!

I've long wished someone would do this for racing games too. An open-world street racing game powered by real-world environments/maps would be wonderful :)

TL;DR, every marginal employee generates enough marginal revenue at scale that they more than pay for themselves, and so it's worth it for the company to keep adding people (at least while the business is doing well)

+1 for Dark — I've been helping a friend with a side project whose backend is built on Dark, and it's very impressive. The request replay feature (being able to replay a previous HTTP request to an endpoint) and seeing step-by-ste

This is a compelling mental model, but not practical — one person can't live expected values. If you want to actually realize expected values on options, the best option might be to become an accredited investor as fast as possible a

It could just be random (or at least as random as this world can be). A situation where Cloudflare, Google, and Stripe go down is just as likely as any other situation. Just appears like a big deal because humans latch on to pattern matchin

You don't just order toilet paper from Amazon, subscription or not? (Although I'd imagine toilet paper usage rate is pretty consistent, so that would be easy to set up a subscription for)

The transaction/interchange fee is set by the card networks, not by any one card issuer. Merchants (businesses, restaurants, service providers, etc) pay that fee, not the consumer — cashback/points is basically a way of transferri

Ah that makes sense. I glossed over "Documentation" originally, so I thought it was somehow cleaned up from vanilla Stack Overflow answers. Was wondering how that cleanup got done

My entire productivity system is a checklist in a pocket-sized notebook. When I get to work, I write down the things I need to do, have been asked to do, and want to do (in that order) — most days it's 3–5 things. Each item is a specif
