Yeah moving to standing desk basically got rid of lower back pain. I didn't do it for the heart.

The DNC reminds me of the board a formerly successful company with good people - but has terrible management and keeps promoting unpopular leaders.

A more apples to apples comparison is NextJS and SvelteKit - you'll see they have similar levels of complexity when solving the same type of problems. (I like Svelte too, but NextJS is pretty convenient for what it does.)

This looks quite nice/simple imho, and avoids Electron: // App.tsx import Gtk from "gi://Gtk?version=3.0"; import * as React from "react"; import { Box, Label, Renderer, Window

All I can suggest is that SoCal prices can and do crash... but the cycles are so long as to skip parts of generations who would/should normally be able to buy homes. I lucked out and bought 14 years ago (after seemingly "priced

I’m not defending companies here, but what I’ve seen happen sometimes is a well-meaning engineering manager will post openings on this or other forums, and then the resumes end up in black holes like Greenhouse where the HR/non-technic

Well kinda in my second point but yes correct. I mentioned as I kept assuming you couldn't use these as such yet, but have been using happily for months now after I realized the functionality was all there.

Unless I'm misunderstanding, the news here is Apple is adding a hearing test app, and "officially" stating that you can use your Airpods Pro like hearing aids. I mention this as you can use these today as hearing aids, you ju

These darn things don't need to be "cloud enabled", or even wifi. Please make them Bluetooth, etc only. These dopey use cases of needing to trigger a cleaning while miles away have always seemed like a stretch.

It's from talking too much - many many companies plaster over their poor planning and decision-making by constantly meeting and talking. They need to cut out some of the yapping by deciding, writing things down, and sharing this info.

If we actually get to that point, we'll eventually be doing a lot more activity and manufacturing off the Earth where the CO2 emissions don't matter.

I'm not an AI fanboy but I think this might be good usecase for generative AI. Generate a storyline from the history in this style, then the visuals from that.

Keep in mind a lot of people who'd benefit from this may not last another 30 years due to age or health issues due to weight either.

I just wanted to throw out there that having an informed electorate was one of the reasons there is the Electoral College. We can blame LLMs, etc. now but low-information, easily-swayed voters has always been an issue.

I don't agree. While "just" audio, I've made a few AI songs that have made people tear up and trigger strong emotions. I think you can do this with video too, just more challenging right now.
