I think this is one of the exception cases where the initialism is better known than the full name.

As an ADHD person, I absolutely love the metaphor of the day having too many steps. I’ve never thought about it that way, and I suspect there’s truth in it to explore.

I think the suggestion reflected a deep understanding that transitioning from decades of wild-west to standardized in the smooth fashion most likely to succeed would require that strategy. If you don’t accept whatever some org’s data is enc

Looks like current ones are water-washable instead of microwavable, which I assume has the disadvantage that you need to do it page by page. But you can use off the shelf Pilot Frixion pens with all of them, including the OG Wave version (w

I bought one recently, and I’m using it primarily as an ereader at the moment. I really like that in landscape mode, it’s the same size as two 7” Oases side by side. It feels like reading a paperback when I display the text in two page-size

I think the devops-inspired idea of engineers owning what they deploy has become fairly popular, for better or for worse.

C# was also at least somewhat informed by Delphi, the Object Pascal variant the same architect created just prior to MS luring him away from Borland.

I've had the issue in the past where Apple's auto-correction would capitalize "Watch" every time I typed it. It doesn't seem to do it on my iPhone now unless it's directly preceded by "Apple." But I w

California banned potassium brominate as a food additive last year, but it doesn’t go into effect until 2027. The FDA finally banned brominated vegetable oil very recently so maybe they’ll get to the rest of it too. Assuming they can make

I remember typing in the David Ahl version from the 1978 edition back in the 80s, on my TRS-80 CoCo. As soon as I started reading the article I realized they were referring to the same game. I don’t think I realized the game itself was so v

Yeah, but it was an Area of Effect type damage. The radiation formed belts. It’d affect the same area now, just more satellites.

FWIW, doing it as a special code block would align with how Obsidian handles stuff like that from its extensions. For example, ```tasks blocks are used in Obsidian Tasks to denote queries. The extension replaces the block with the rendered

Any capacity for inter-note links there or planned? I guess the OG NV didn’t have that but I used them pretty extensively in nvAlt and in Obsidian (not that I’d expect anywhere near what the latter does with analyzing them).

I feel like that’s unlikely to cause much confusion.

They’re probably remembering the Creative Zen/Nomad series. I think I had a 30GB or 60GB jukebox model well before iPod had similar storage capacities.

I felt that was an odd omission in the article. Maybe it didn’t have a huge market impact outside the local crowd, but it was a big deal then. I seem to remember the CEO posting in the threads apologizing, etc.

They do, though my experience was it wasn’t really a comparable experience to app-accessed ChatGPT. Of course, you do have many more models to choose from, but I’m pretty sure I’m inclined to just align on one. I will admit I never saw the

I’ve been very happy with Kagi, though I did eventually downgrade from the Ultimate to the regular plan as ChatGPT Plus added more usability features (memory, preprompts, voice conversations, etc). I’ll have to check the article to see if t

I have to confess that when I saw this post, I quickly skimmed the threads to check if someone was trying to educate Animats on TCP. Think I've only seen that happen in the wild once or twice, but it absolutely made my day when it did.

Atlanta had a phenomenal BBS scene in the 80s, in part because the 404 area code was flat rate for all local calls and covered a large (at least 25 miles, probably more) radius around Atlanta proper. When I moved to the SF Bay Area in 1991

Historically, Hyundai/Genesis charged $300/yr for BlueLink connected care. Think my 2023 Ioniq 5 is one of the last (EV) models with that yearly charge, and that year's Ioniq 6 and subsequent models get it free. Unfortunately

Is everybody with mental health issues required to offer them up for public discussion at every opportunity? His mental health wasn’t relevant to the attack from any report I’ve read. That makes it a bit odd and more than a little thoughtle

Slowdowns happen for all kinds of reasons. Life comes first. The explanation behind the slowdown wasn’t relevant here or a factor in the attack. They exploited the growing need for a co-maintainer. Airing the dude’s medical issues, particul

I find it unfortunate that Schneier chose to underline the XZ maintainer’s mental health issues (literally—he linkified it) as the reason he’d slowed down on the project, which then led to being open to taking on the malicious co-maintainer

Unless Southwest is wildly different than other airlines, the behavior of people you give F&F standby passes to potentially reflects on you as an employee. Not sure if getting in trouble with another airline instead of your employer wou

I think the idea is chase them long enough to tag them with the dart while you’re on their tail, then stop the pursuit.

That one is a little different. That's when Apple clones your app into their OS as a core feature, thereby completely killing your market. It usually implies Apple deliberately studied your specific app or replicated it based on detail

With ChatGPT, I get a range of interesting responses just telling it I’m bored and don’t know what to talk about. Sometimes it’s fun to start a conversation with something like “I got your message that I needed to log in. What was it you wa
