I like it because I can see kids, no matter what vehicle I’m in. I have unusually good spatial skills. I have parallel parked and reverse parked perfectly every single time for over 5 years… …but no matter what, I cannot see behind my bumpe

I think the real problem is that a food pyramid is an oversimplification. No matter what you do, “fruits” isn’t really a goal — it’s macronutrients and micronutrients like vitamins, fiber, etc. So with or without lobbying, any food pyramid

How easy is it to get family and friends to connect to your Jellyfin on like their Roku or Apple TV? Right now I just have them make a Plex account and they just login. Easy on my part since I don’t have to be tech support.

I use both and ChatGPT will absolutely glaze me. I will intentionally say some BS and ChatGPT will say “you’re so right.” It will hilariously try to make me feel good. But Gemini will put me in my place. Sometimes I ask my question to Gemin

Reminds me of when I first tried to learn guitar. I tried doing fingering practices. It was so boring. I gave up after like a week. I thought that playing music just wasn’t for me. Many years later, I picked up a friend’s guitar next to me

I don’t think it’s ironic. The commonality of people working on AI is that they ALL know software. They make a product that solves the thing that they know how to solve best. If all lawyers knew how to write code, we’d seem more legal AI st

I find Gaia Maps even better for the boonies. It has a lot more map data accessible and you can even overlay National Park Service maps, land ownership, accurate cell service grids, mountain biking trails, weather conditions and things like

Well you can also drive off road too.

Same. I still kind of look forward to work Sunday night. It's also the case with my other hobbies. Aside from chores and responsibilities, most of my days consists of doing things for fun. Sometimes it aligns with something people will

As I’ve gotten older, I find this to be untrue. Estimating the unknown is itself a skill. It’s like choosing to crash random parties everyday — at first, exceptionally novel but facing the unknown becomes itself mundane. Humans adapt. They

Ford seems to regularly re-design some sometimes-major part of their vehicles every model year, for better or worse. Some model years are banger and others are just a failed experiment, but you do get newer advancements. Compare that with T

Same. Game writers need to learn about character development. I never care about 99% of characters in video games. Characters need history that they don’t necessarily let up easily, deep seated fears that they don’t want to tell you, and su

Ask a car guy and they’ll tell you that German car makers have been known to be be maintenance money sinks for 40 years. But German car makers are really quick to add new technology. They were quick to add ABS, fuel injection, complex suspe

I’ve worked at companies with cellular failover for the most critical services. 5G in my city is 650 Mbps and is honestly cheaper than fiber, but my fiber has better jitter (and can go up to 2 Gbps). For a lot of people, 5G would be more co

I get 650 Mbps with T-mobile in my city.

I personally feel this distinction does not apply at the granularity of people and this difference is unrelated to the issue of people who aren't observant. I am very process-oriented about drawing. The simple act of drawing is fun and

Why do I need to? I didn’t propose some framework to analyze people who are perfect. This thread chain is about people who do something and it doesn’t work out.

We’re not talking about preventative actions. Choosing to park my car correctly because I used get tickets is a reactive action. Helping someone because they asked for help is a reactive action. Being late and then doing things to stop bein

No I mean you measure after. Some people just don’t seem to measure after though.

My biggest complaint about some people is that they measure success by the act of doing and rarely by the result. If I help someone, I am checking if you no longer need help. If I say I’m going to be there at a certain time, I remember ever

I wouldn’t consider it “solved” because most organizations and people don’t actually check the log. And a malicious actor can abuse this fact.

OK I got my own extremely hot take. In my opinion, the core functionality of React (view rendering) is actually good and is why it cannot be unseated. I remember looking for a DOM library: - dojo: not for me - prototype.js: not for me - Moo

I strongly disagree with this approach in life. I am “morally lucky” because every decision I make is to ensure I can always be morally lucky, 10 years later. I take certain kinds of jobs in certain kinds of industries. It’s my same approac

I see this type of vulnerability all the time. Seen it in Java, Lua, JavaScript, Python and so on. I think deserialization that relying on blacklists of properties is a dangerous game. I think rolling your own object deserialization in a li

Liberal arts is cheap and is not why university is expensive. You can get it for relative pennies at a community college. I’ve studied at university, state college and community college and my best history teacher was at a community college

Not that it changes your point but the funny thing is that Anker was a no name Chinese brand on Amazon like UGREEN back then. And like UGREEN, it was noticeably better than the other Chinese no-name brands.

Kodak had digital cameras but it would 10-15 years before digital sensors would be good enough. But the film market collapsed in like 5-7 years.

I can find an experienced doctor, plumber, musician or mechanical engineer that was doing it 50 years ago. I’m not going to find someone that was doing software 50 years ago. And if I do, their experience is completely unrelatable.

It’s a testament to product planning. It has nothing to do with engineering. If it’s Photoshop and formally verified and can’t crash but it has only 5 tools, I would be pissed. If it’s a remote monitoring station with a cool GUI but crashes
