I don't use OneNote for long standing documentation (maybe one tab is a cheat sheet). I just make a tab for each ongoing work project/client/etc, and paste stuff in there. Text from emails as a todo list which I think write c

Do they make more money if I click on a few SEO spam sites full of Adsense, and page through a few pages of Google results, before finding the answer or possibly giving up - or if I find and click on the top result?

It's not just pain, it’s thoughts too (which can also be related of course). I’m someone who will overthink which leads to worries that don’t need to exist and bring no benefit. This is why it helps me socialise, I’m far more likely to

There is a saying “first cab off the rank” or “first off the mark” (as in running races) so it may be a shorter version of something like that.

They do that in AU / VIC for the EV road use tax, you have to upload a photo. I don't see the problem, just make it illegal to lie and fine the ones you catch.

A while back I watched a video on YouTube, and I forget the name and creator, but the basic idea was there are too many "good" games. Good just isn't good enough anymore, there are also too many great games to have time to pl

As a player, Unity games seem to have some issues with stuttering especially on resource load (e.g. first time a new enemy type appears). It happens to a degree that is surprisingly bad, given the relatively low fidelity of a lot of titles

Work out what you must have based on the rules, list them out, then subtract from 200. For me, V and VII from the roman numerals = 152 so I needed 48. Did He and Pd. Then of course a later rule came along.

My understanding is that section 230 is more about free speech i.e. your defamatory statements do not allow me to be sued if you post them on my site as a comment. The protections do not cover illegal speech, such as copyright infringement.

I think its main use case is safe harbour. Without the DMCA, if I posted something infringing copyright, Hacker News would be liable as the service provider. DMCA shifts the blame to me, but the publisher has to comply with takedown request

At this point I think the only thing that will stop SEO-spam articles is an AI good enough to read with a human-like critical mind that can detect bullshit (or, at least skim the 100 similar articles to get the one useful fact they all repe

I think it’s a reflection of the cult of youth. It’s common in many industries. Young people will put in long hours to get experience and give up comparatively little because they have less going on outside of work. It’s not necessarily hea

One example can be resources and efficiency. One time I was trying to browse Google Fonts to find something in a certain visual style (ie not something you can really search for via keywords). It made Chrome completely unresponsive after a

Yeah - it's like getting rid of old photos I know I'll never look at. Just can't. And the more helpful comments might help someone one day.

I can't remember the last time I deleted an account. I only do it for legal reasons. I would probably just visit Reddit less and less, until one day it's for the last time, and I never go back - not even to delete it, because it&#

The first few plumbing jobs I did myself were a net loss from time, tools, materials. But I've made it up since then. Also, I think it's not always direct - tinkering with the car has made me more confident in plumbing and vice ve

For a lot of people, they are just paying $20 to have the book. It makes them feel nice through the act of purchase or building a collection. Or maybe it provides a safety blanket if you might need it one day, but no need to read it right n

This is my general opinion. My iPhone is not a productive device, even sending an email is a hassle. I'm either at home, or will wait, unless it's urgent. It's basically for social media, maps, music, and keeping in touch via

I've seen this argument in other places and it makes an error in assuming all users are equal in what they bring. It's common in MMO communities - why do the devs spend so much time working on high end raids enjoyed by only 1% of

It's true but that falls more into the explanation-not-excuse category. I bet there's someone advocating for better ad partner integration and driving projects for that - no reason they can't have it for UX/UI/Acces

From recent reports (based on their layoffs), "large" means around 1800 employees. I know they're not all developers, but I don't think labeling the mod buttons is beyond them.

Something I've wanted (which probably exists as an extension in Chrome?) for Google searches is a simple blacklist. Just a little button and confirmation next to a result, telling it to never show this blog-spam-ad-laden-SEO-mess of a
