Well, you can turn everything off except messages so I don't see it as that big of a deal. I don't install many apps on my phone so going into the app settings and turning off notifications isn't a big deal.

Go to where your users are. Reach out to the local service providers individually and tell them about your service. You will get users if they see value in what you're offering. It's not scalable, but you need users to better he

Not FAANG, but I've hired and worked a number of people over the years without CS or related degrees. I have no problem with it. I don't think that the degree will help you get the job, as long as you can get an interview.

Wow, that sounds exhausting! I've been doing development work professionally since 2000. In that capacity, I've been self-employed and worked for a number of firms providing work-for-hire development services. I worked full time

As a cyclist that uses my bikes for recreation and transportation, keeping cars out of the bike lanes is really my top concern. This is really cool, but it's honestly a pristine bike lane is a very low priority compared to getting pro

Usually mindless implementation of some buzzword process in its entirety is doomed to failure. I worked for a manufacturing company a number of years ago. I was a developer, working on machine control software. Management decided that the

I think it's good to solve small problems too. The $400M has the chance bring a little happiness to a lot of people. Cooling due to the shade of trees is a big benefit. Trees improve the charm of the neighborhood and could also contrib

Poorly. Information was often duplicated because it couldn't be found. There was not a wiki embedded, as far as I know.

I've been part of a number of organizations that have tried to use Slack as a knowledge base. It works fine when there is a small amount of information that needs to be shared by a small amount of people (say, less than twenty). I fin

There are lots of amateur and professional breeders working on improving traditional and non-traditional crops. Some of the what's being improved are considered weeds. My interest is in perennial crops, and there's lots of inter

I pay the $40 a year for the Pro version. It's great when you need an icon or a simple illustration. I composite multiple icons together quite a bit. There really is an icon for everything. "Affair" https://then

Just checked out GLICOL. It's quite cool! Is there MIDI support or any plans to add it?

This is the right way to do it, if it's possible to do so. Flag as deleted then have a scheduled job that checks for items that need to be deleted.

I don't think this is a dark pattern, but a better approach might be requiring the user to type in their account name. It's preventing an accidental deletion. I like that Azure makes you type in the resource name before deleting

It's a great day when I've deleted more code than I've written!

It's a great idea though I haven't noticed photographer friends sharing Flickr galleries in quite a while. Mostly they just post stuff to Facebook and Instagram.

I do a lot of my own plumbing but I had a larger job I didn't want to do. I had assumed the plumber was going to use copper and sweat connections. He basically told me that copper was way up and the labor costs of the sweat connectio

I get it, but it doesn't make it any less disappointing. And around here, a combination of defund the police and other factors have reduced the size of the police force. Patrols are down 40% since 2020. Hit and runs and other traffic

I don't see this has a hot take. A couple weeks ago a car intentionally rammed into me from behind. I called 911 and the police took 30 minutes to arrive on the scene. The officer talked to me for about 3 minutes and then threw up the

I love to cook, but I often have a peanut butter sandwich for breakfast. It's fast and easy. I can see the appeal when you just want to get started on your day. The second most frequent thing I eat is congee, I make a big batch and t

I do it a little differently, I mostly buy the same things every week but make many different things with them: Cheese, beans, eggs, mushrooms, apples. My weekly shopping trip to Aldi takes less than five minutes. About once every month or

My previous car was a nearly 20-year-old Outback. I don't think I ever looked at the owner's manual to figure out how to do something on the dashboard console. From the articles and discussions I've been following, I'd

What kind of mileage do you get? I have around 4,000 miles on the car now and I have 39 MPG average. I just took a longer trip (1,600 miles total) and averaged 27.5 mpg for the trip. A good deal of my other driving is shorter regional tr

Just got a 2023 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV. The UX is awful, full of bugs and quirks. If it was an app I would have already uninstalled it. Unfortunately, I am stuck with an expensive car that is super clunky. I doubt any of the bug repo

I have a friend that has had COVID-19 at least one, and he swears he also got it in 2019 along with the friends he was hanging out with that weekend. There are probably lots of instances like this and we may never know for sure.

I don't really understand the hurdle to "learning binary". It's not necessary to understand how binary works to complete a hello world program, but I think it's something that you want to get a handle on pretty qui

I've got a car for the same reason. My car broke down last July and I wasn't able to get a replacement until December. I rode my bike around, used ride share, got rides from friends and rented a car for one longer trip. I only d

I know many people do it out of necessity or desire to live in a certain place, but commuting that long would be a last resort for me. It turns an 8 hour day into a 10 hour day. You don't get paid for the time and it costs more in fuel

I graduated in 1999 and had to take two typing classes, one in 7th grade and one in 11th grade. Both were mostly wastes of time because I had already learned how to type. I could type about 120-130 WPM back then and somehow, I was still re

I sympathize with victim in this story. The AI detecting anti-cheating tools really seem like quite the racket. At a certain point, telling if someone "cheated" on a research paper by evaluating only the text of the paper because
