It's depressing that The Onion headlines are becomming more and more milder version of reality. There was a skit a while ago about wounded people fleeing ambulances to escape debt hell, what we have here is arguably worse.

Blandness is a feature for my family. We have wildly different tastes, and it’s hard to come with a consensus on what to listen in the car. The top 40/50 has a high chance of being “fine” for everybody. That’s what I would put in the b

Learning french is an awful lot of grammar and rules, weird pronunciation tricks. I’d assume it would take 3 or 4 times more effort than straight learning the official Scrabble dictionary, if that’s the only goal.

People have different uses of their hands, wrists, different muscles and predispositions. For me personally the bottleneck was my finger’s middle joint, from too much mouse wheeling. Even for the targeted morphology, if you exactly stick to

We should keep in mind that ergonomic recommendations are for an average target at best, and won’t match a range of people’s use. Those people injured their tendons and now cover it with their wrist, other people will have other issues, wit

You leverage depends on your position and is not clear cut. If you are interviewing to have an alternative to another offer, you might effectively dictate the process (time spent, deadlines etc.) if they want to interview you bad enough. A

It is already a two-way street in that as a candidate you chose the company, and expect specific things from them. If they don’t deliver on that part you will walk away. To me parent’s point is that any company acting as if you’d unconditio

This was the impression we had 20 years ago looking at RMS talking. It felt like a cult, we felt he asked to us make completely unpractical sacrifices purely in the name of an ideology, the Free. In hindsight he might have been right, but t

Is the argument that a call that could get stuck for a few minutes is better than a “wrong“ dozens of second value ? Even as a user I feel it’s a waste of precious resource (including my time). It’s like waiting at the register until the sh

> phone marketing I find it interesting that we still call those “phones” when for a sizeable part of the population they are mostly portable gaming machine to kill time when they’re bored. Not Fortnite, of course, more easier games.

Two week’s ago’s The Verge coverture was pretty thorough and interesting. Also Epic’s filled surprisingly readable lawsuits, covering your points and more. > from that suit Google’s lawsuit is a different one, with specific arguments.

I see Hey marketing as "Email" more than a client or an app. Yes, it's a weird positioning, but to be fair it's also a weird service. They're not about better managing your existing inbox, and I also think completel

Say you wrote your 10 lines script that mocks your third party endpoint. running it on port 7659 is > php -S 0.0.0.0:7659 scripts/test.php and done. Compared to this one liner, the proposition is making a dockerfile with a base imag

It is still nice for quickly running something and get rid of it. For instance an ad-hoc script mocking an API endpoint that you can run on an arbitrary port in seconds. PS: a few years ago docker was not deemed production ready, and people

If you argue a company doesn’t allow behavior X, doing it and getting punished is the best course of action to prove the point. To your point, they have a whole lawsuit filling explaining why they think X should be allowed.
