I really hope this project continues to gain momentum. Apple Hardware + Linux is the least fscked OS running on the best hardware. MacOS continues to be a tire fire with endless bugs and churn between versions.

I went from introvert only-child to married with kids. As they hit daycare, I was perpetually riddled with disease for about 15 months. I still had to take care of the kids though, so I was liberally taking Ibuprofen. At some point, I st

It’s really bizarre to me that, even before the war, the mainstream western media ignored the 30k protesters getting massacred in January. They have been using kid gloves with the Iranian regime for some time, like this article exemplifies

The article mentions that there’s an identification process and that at least some data has access control. What were you expecting?

I wonder what "irregularity" means. It seems they didn't define this clearly. Are we talking about few hours or is this a weekly night shift flip flop.

I can’t read the article, but I hope their definition of upper middle class adjusts for the steep inflation in housing. If my family knew how much I made, approximately the top 1% of incomes, they’d think I live a fantastically luxurious l

Gateway seemed to be pretty roundly panned by space experts, including a number of former astronauts, notably Buzz Aldin. Still, any change at this point is a death sentence for the U.S.’s lead in Space Race 2.0. The space industry (outsi

The fact that it was unsuccessful does not make it any less worrying. Iran was a regional problem before the war, but this new escalation shows they’re a threat to the entire world. They might have previously had a chance at a Vietnam or

From what I have observed in my team, the opposite is occurring. Everyone is just making their own software because the barriers are so low. There is a lot less sharing and coordination going on, and the bottleneck moved to having the har

As an engineer I love that Zuck likes to throw his money around. He has been one of the big reasons for SWE salary inflation over the past 15 years. We should be thankful that not every company is relentlessly cost cutting
