I know of one family that’s doing homeschooling. It’s not because of classmates, it’s because of curriculum failures. Their school district has messed up both reading (not doing phonics) and math. So if their kid goes to school they still h

Sonos couples the digital music selection to the sound system, trapping you in an ecosystem that can then brick your devices. The Wiim Pro is a great digital receiver that you can hook up to any sound system. Use Spotify or whatever you wan

I admire PG's essays, but this one seems to give an origin theory about a complex societal issue without any evidence. My pet theory is is that liberalism won the battle with conservatism and achieved everything useful that it could wi

Paint is a huge source of microplastics that many are unaware of [1]. But also consider how you are wearing clothing made with plastic and the fact that it’s not hard to find 100% cotton shirts. Start figuring out how to have less plastic i

Warp has been meeting all my needs other than tab switching behavior. It's not open source but the UX is great. Switched from WezTerm which was working cross platform but not quite as good. Both are low latency and written in Rust.

That's another incorrect summary. From the journal article there are multiple studies that have shown worse long-term outcomes from large amounts of exercise: > Other studies also have confirmed the long-term adverse effects on myoc

The article you linked doesn’t support the statement made about it. The evidence is mixed but shows worse overall outcomes for those overdoing it. Here’s a scientific publication that’s clearer that recommends 1-2 days off per week, and no

There's a lot of comments here that seem overly critical. The author came up with solutions to extend Go's errors to meet their needs and shared that with the world- thank you. I have been solving all the same problems and providi

The ductless design seems great for smaller units or open spaces. Although for smaller units you want to get building owners to install these. Have you seen interest from them or are you expecting a company to take up this design and sell i

This appears to be an open source MIT library that anyone can just use. The docs say it can be run locally against PG. but then they say to use DBOS cloud in production without mentioning that it can also be ran in production against any PG

I’m happy to have this idea refuted but character attacks and platitudes aren’t the best way to go about it. What Huberman says, even if it is an mis representation is based on scientific studies. There are some links in the notes here to s

Andrew Huberman discusses how the AMC structure in the brain gets bigger when we do things we don't want to do. It is bigger in those that live longer and have great mental health- it may also represent the will to live. Its one of the

The Go language was actually created while waiting for C++ to compile. Their goal was to create something that was better than C++ for network services and they succeeded- but that's a pretty low bar! Most companies that don't hav

I’m successfully using Go and agree with the author at the same time. For me it’s not a choice between Go and Rust- Rust is not as productive for high level code because every API maximizes performance. Since this article was written Go int

There’s an existing ecosystem that already works with the constraints of not having generics. If you can write all your code with that, then you won’t need generic much. That ecosystem was created with the sweat of library authors, dealing

The Go SDK is a lot more verbose for configuration (plums.String, etc) and then you have error handling boilerplate as well. Exceptions are a better match for creating resources in Pulumi.
