I can't think of any healthy team dynamic that doesn't require some form of deliverability estimates (this is not limited to engineering), and am very curious how you approach this.

There's a massive piece of the music scene that I can't imagine AI ever replacing. Some genres are formulaic by design, but the draw for so many others is the human experience and the inventiveness. Many people follow artists beca

My first thought was that this person would be an excellent consultant for some arthropod-based game or film (Arthropods Attack?) I wonder how common it is for folks to try to understand some new field in order to build something vs. the ot

Big fan of the Spotify app, because it keeps shoving pop-ups in my face about artists and shows I don't care about despite disabling these notifications in the settings. Points for discovery. I also like how it constantly resets my &qu

Or buy an old car. Of course there are tradeoffs with efficiency and safety, but I like having a car that's easy to work on and features no telemetry or smart features.

Copying a quote from that "slow thinking" post because I hadn't seen it and I think is valuable: > People say that your first reaction is the most honest, but I disagree. Your first reaction is usually outdated. Either it’

Do you have a source for that? The highest city tax bracket I can find is 3.867% To be clear, it's still ridiculous to pay hundreds of dollars a month extra just to live in the five boroughs but 10% would be unmanageable

Not exactly what you're describing, but I've been running my band directly into Logic Pro on an M1 (both for recording, and live shows). Dry signals go through amp sims and effects processors, and then route to both a FOH mix and

Thanks for unlocking the memory I have of getting my radio license in my early 20s. Got a lot of questions about why I was interested in radio, but in the sort of way that you might ask an alien what the purpose for their visit is. Also if

> "CEO of AI company here [...] This is a gold rush" Forgive my skepticism, but AI hype today looks remarkably similar to the NFT hype of yesterday. IMO there's certainly value in AI-assisted workflows, and maybe the hype

The bounty password looks like 2 names, a type of flower, and a two word object. That significantly reduces the search space. Though, it's likely at least one of those words are non-standard or wouldn't be found in any wordlist.

Can't say that I love the praise over Chris McCandless, given the amount of deliberate self-sabotage and the fact that hikers have literally died trying to recreate his pilgrimage. > We’ve all got this theory that we’re not just mea

Episodic (vs serial) television has its own problems. It can be done well, but the path of least resistance is to make episodes low-stakes, formulaic, and mindless. Law & Order, The X-Files, The Simpsons et al have vague arcs but are ap

Thank you for this. Honestly, your first line is enough. You can wake up later, you can start drinking earlier, or you can do both. I'm sure a lot of people do better with a more structured, social workday -- it's easier to not fe

I have fond memories of rooting early Android devices, and having to constantly rip the battery out when the phone would inevitably lock up. I have less fond memories of waiting all day for a newer phone to run out of battery when the same

Interesting you mention guitarists thinking in terms of flats. Is that rooted in music theory, preference/convention, or something else? A sibling common mentions "c#, g#, c#, f, g#, c#" which is exactly how I would think of

This is awesome. I've been kicking around the idea of a notation/composition system that uses external forces (temperature, moon phase, time, etc) as live input but prior research is a bit hard to come by. Feeding signal into e.g.

That's a shame. I just paid for a T-casual with cash and it worked beautifully throughout the week despite becoming a crumpled mess by the end of my trip. NYC is moving to a system called OMNY, where you can either hunt down a retailer

One neat thing I recently encountered is that people are listing apartments with fees as "no-fee" on StreetEasy. That is, I inquired about a no-fee listing and was met with "actually, there is a 15% on this listing is that ok

As a manager - my work habits look pretty similar. If you don't trust your peers or reports, such that you need to monitor the specific hours they're doing asynchronous/solo work, then that's a problem. The challenge is

Big fan of DO. I have a Droplet I haven't accessed in 7 years. I'm pretty sure if I look at it the wrong way it will break, but it's been running the same app with no downtime like a champ.

I stopped grazing when WFH started, since I don't care to replicate the office's snack stash. I signed up for a premade meal service, so I throw a box in the microwave and eat whatever's inside (e.g. salmon/rice/veg

I built an app like this in my college days! That is, an app that can send network requests over voice, decode the voice channel response (which comes from some proxy), and render it in a useful way or pass it off to some other process. Tri

Your tone is quasi-facetious, but you do not realize that Taco Bell was the only restaurant to survive the Franchise Wars, so...now all restaurants are Taco Bell.

Small world, I won Best Mobile Hack at hack.UVA a few years ago :) Notes: - This was one of many I snuck into after I had dropped out of college - It was a mobile app that let you scan an ISBN and would pirate the book for you. The results
