Yeah it does to me at least. When people try to describe umami without being self-referential, they’ll say “meaty” which in my mind, really does stand separately from the rest of the other tastes. I don’t really have a good sense of a uniqu

Oh wow that’s interesting. Would be interesting if it actually performed the change, and on any character. Pointing emojis in the right direction with the Horizontal Reflection modifier would probably be useful!

I had the worst flu I've ever experienced in December of 2018, I was stuck in bed for a week, super sore, coughing, sneezing, fever-y, and specifically I was exhausted. On the day I got better, every single symptom went away over the c

The complexity of written language is going to keep biting features like this in the ass if people want them to “behave”. Doesn’t matter how many filters you put in place, there’s always more and more creative ways to ask for an infinite am

The social pressure side, I totally get. People get very defensive about this sort of thing, and act somehow personally offended if anyone does the opposite. I say that as someone that quite likes static types. I don’t care, do what you do!

I still bemoan the half-assed RBS type system in Ruby 3. I think Ruby actually had a cool chance to explore what inline type hints would look like in a very meta-programming-y environment. While RBS works, it's a hassle to keep updated

I always thought semver was specifically for dependencies. It even mentions packages and dependencies multiple times at the start. Anyone deploying their web app or something with meticulously selected semver changelogs is wasting a lot of

AppleCare is a great service. I’ve had the exact same experience! The problem is then also ensuring all other options are artificially worse than AppleCare. Your local “mall guy” is just as capable of swapping out a battery, in theory.

Just because my phone can tell the time, doesn't mean a watch is obsolete. It gives me an ambient sense of the time because I end up glancing at it randomly. I lose track of how far along I am in the hour if I forget my watch.

Doesn't have to be expensive! You can find a Bulova Hack [0] (the modern remake) for ~400$ usually. (Well under 400 on sale) I love mine: looks different with it's military styling, durable, repairable (by a jeweller, the watch gl

I’ll be honest, I don’t know a ton about medical trials and how they pick participants. But is there any reason why people are excluded despite seeking out the trial runners, and have a terminal illness that their drug/procedure MIGHT

Omnifocus does quite well with this. They offer a sync service, but it’s just webDAV syncing a few XML files so you can easily host your own if you want, or throw the files in iCloud.

Honestly, as someone that actually likes in-office work, I would hate this. Nothing I care about with in-office will happen in those 2 days. I like the fun of being able to just joke around with coworkers around you. I obviously don’t want

This is so cool! I would love to see this for other protocols actually, maybe SSL or something!

I hate to put it this way, but most flights are commercial passenger or freight. Only a small amount are private jets, so this really only affects a small number of people. Do you think Mark Zuckerberg would argue in favour of greater priva

I hate to do a bit of snooping, but you list your birth year on your socials. We're of a pretty similar age; I also only got a smart phone in high school. I really do think the expectations from your friends when you're in your ea

This is very true. The simple explanation is your son is turning them back on without noticing. Uber Eats is the example I can think of, where in order to get notifications about arrival, you need to enable ALL notifications, including its

Interesting, the linked paper [0] does show they controlled for physical activity here, since I would assume someone who gets more sun exposure, is outside more. If they really have controlled for that factor, shouldn't we see similar

I haven't seen an even remotely popular decision come from the CRTC in decades. I think maybe the last thing they did that anyone actually thought was worth while was unbundling cable packages... well into the decline of cable televisi

The municipality pays 2000$ a month per tent space? What does that mean exactly? Like paying for increased medical services/policing, or lost revenue from lowered property values?

I honestly thought you were joking or at least over exaggerating. You aren’t, haha. Some others from that list: - Curious/into things - Likes fans - Farting (stinky) - Looks sick Amazing criteria.

Sorry, you’re right, that’s the wrong word. I mean “tried and convicted”.

Yeah, I feel you. Clearly in that case, she dodged a bullet. But you hear about people having to explain drug possession charges, or even robbery charges from their past when they were a different person. We pretend like we actually want th

I guess that’s good in theory, but there isn’t a secret “causes harm” test we can do to say for certain something is harmful. If we want to “change the introduction of new chemical compounds to our environment at a mass scale”, what do we…

Not really in my experience? People aren’t very picky about the app they use, and many people I know (me included) will keep profiles on 2-3. Totally possible this is only a thing here? (Canada, Toronto / Montréal) I have a feeling it’

GP comment was about specifically information about crimes. Not sure what precedence is set by the decision mentioned in the article.

In my own opinion, if you’re arrested, have paid the standard debt to society that we all (in theory) have agreed on, and gone back into society seeking a job… forcing people to constantly deal with their old (non violent) crimes seems like

There are alternatives! (Scruff, sniffies, squirt) Thankfully the “let me chat with people, shown in a list by order of proximity, with some custom filters” is basically a weekend project worth of work. Seen quite a few alternative apps (an

Toronto will be opening 2 LRT lines this year/early next year. Works has also started on 1 new subway line, and a new subway extension. GO train expansion also continues with more service into and out of the city. Montreal just opened
