I hear a lot of people be incredibly critical of TikTok, while being active consumers of Facebook/Instagram/X/etc. I've found the content on TikTok to be much better curated to what I actually like, with just enough (i.e

Same. My in-laws are Toyota Land Cruiser people, heavily involved with the local clubs. FIL even runs their driver training programs. Was very anti us getting a Defender and said we'd regret it. When we did the training the main proble

I've been meaning to build a similar thing. I already have all the parts, but I was hoping to find a way to build something that simulated a small record player. Bonus points for a way to have a functioning turntable with the NFC reade

The most recent episode of John Oliver goes further and says he actively funded Hamas to destabilise the area and cause problems for the PA.

I was previously working at https://autonomy.computer , and building out a platform for autonomous products (i.e., agents) there. I started to observe a similar opportunity. We had an actor-based approach to concurrency that mean

Even his financial arguments are often weak. Of late he’s been constantly ranting about the use of ARR, like that hasn’t been a norm in SaaS businesses for almost two decades now. And that they’re using it to fool… who exactly? Wholesale in

Admittedly my frame of reference here is now a decade ago when I was living in California. But we would routinely hire people on H1B, and it most definitely wasn't because we thought it was a cost saving. Between the >=$20K in legal

I worked somewhere that (IMO) placed a lot of emphasis on good design. Even among engineering folk we'd talk regularly about Dieter Rams' 10 principles of good design. Two of those principles being "it is unobtrusive" an

Do you mean like Ludwig? What else? I'm not in the UK, so often only see the best of British TV after someone has recommended it to me and I can go hunt it out.

We have passive thermal heat tubes on our roof to heat our pool. It works amazingly well. I want to put PV on our roof, but that’d mean having to pull up those tubes first and replacing our pool heater with something electric. Turns out the

This is fascinating! Did they ever discuss/consider taking incremental steps with the glasses from your current state to what perfect should be? I could make hypothesises for multiple outcomes here but don't actually understand an

A lot of places I've worked end up coming up with a prioritised list of who they think they want to hire as candidates are going through the pipeline. The first preference for various reasons might not be the first to finish the interv

That might not entirely be an accident, given Joe Brumm was originally an animator that worked on Peppa Pig and decided he wanted to do an Australian version of it when he moved back home.

One of the refreshing things about the Amazon/AWS hiring approach was basically this. Did we agree this person can do the job? First one to get to a yes gets an offer. No interviewing all the candidates and stack ranking and trying jug

You've clearly not driven one recently. I'm shopping at the moment, and the BYDs in particular are great to drive and have an amazing fit-out. Model 3/Y are the most direct comparable on both fronts, if I'm looking to Eu

If it were truly ideological for him, wouldn't that roof be covered in solar panels and he'd be leading the charge on shifting this huge energy consumption in this emergent high-use use cases towards renewable resources?

As evidenced by the other replies by OP, it’s a hyperbolic and bad take. There’s plenty of companies doing just fine with Rails codebases. Many of which are a decade or more old now and have done just fine with the inter generational transf

I struggle to justify it from a cost and utilisation perspective. Given how well it went, I've run the hypotheticals in my head a few times about what the optimal case might have been. If you discount the cost of my time to zero and yo

I was curious about the difference, and a quick search suggests Nevada has property tax rate of 0.44% and California is 1%. I'm not from the US so wasn't sure why your experience differs from my very brief and naive comparison. Ar

I felt the same way, though once I scrolled down to the LaTeX comparison it was more obvious. The first few code examples being how you define a function don't lend themselves to showcasing how markdown-esque the actual usage is.

Yikes! This may seem easy to say in retrospect, but I've worked at large orgs where I've had to give public demos or keynotes. If I wasn't giving the demo in a completely different logged in user/profile for some reason,

I mean, you're both right. Being able to chat and iterate on stuff while I'm driving is both more productive and feels more natural than I expected before I did it. It wasn't too far removed from a brainstorming session I&#x2

I had a similar complaint with the few 3D things I watched when that has been hyped in the past (e.g., when Avatar came out in cinemas, and when 3D home TVs seemed to briefly become a thing 15 years ago). It felt like Hollywood was giving m

I’ve briefly intersected with Adam, admittedly over a decade ago now. I really enjoyed those opportunities and found him to be a great and professional person. This site just reeks of a misinformed person with an axe to grind. A quarter of

That falls short of the "meets their needs" test. Authenticated users already have a check (i.e., the auth process). Anubis is to stop/limit bots from reading content.
