I first used a laser cutter ~eight years ago. Our printer's UX relied on sending designs with special colors to an attached usb driver. So you'd make something in Illustrator, open a regular print dialogue, and get out a precisely

Audible has some flagrant dark patterns in their design for consumers as well. While you _could_ buy independent audiobooks at cost, their most popular model is to subscribe to a monthly membership where you earn one credit a month. This mo

OP here. To clarify, the blog doesn't use containers just because it didn't really call for it. Ended up creating a simpler CI pipeline to just push updated static files directly. For everything else that I work on, I'm 100%

Are we materially further along on fusion than we were 10 years ago? I know we're making some strides with magnetic / vacuum sealing but I'm unclear on how much novel insight the research has surfaced, versus just iteratively

Even if we accept some statistical failure rate, we should still investigate lethal failures. Like any good RCA it may uncover some learnings that could help the implementation and/or regulations around self driving.

Depends on how frequently you're interacting with this widget. The annoyance of animations comes from the integral of all time you have to spend watching them; if they're in the critical path of a workflow that you do multiple tim

I can't figure this one out either. The Air now has the same screen as the MBP 13", same processor, slimmer form factor. The air is also $100 cheaper than the MBP so that's not a justification. The only thing that is differen

Are you the alumni of any other companies or engineering schools? I've had to hire for similar sized startups and find the most success with reaching out to past colleagues or friends in the same space, and either pulling them in direc

Congratulations on the launch guys. Product need seems clear to me & is a painpoint that I've felt most acutely in side projects that I've worked on outside of our company's devoted CI infrastructure. Are you planning any

Right when I feel like the internet's becoming too corporate and optimized towards SEO for the sake of profit and profit alone, I land on a gem like this. Thank you brrr lords for bearing the webhosting cost for something fun.

Waymo has a similar approach in Phoenix. Passengers can't directly intervene but can call tech support and they'll dispatch roadside assistance to override the car and drive it to safety. Will be interesting to see if Cruise copie

I define a radical group to be some collection that seems to be consistently peddling false material for their own ends, with an overly provoking tilt that makes it easy to go viral. Some specifics out of the past year would be vaccine misi

These things do help. Most members of these communities get radicalized by virtue of other content they’re already browsing. If you remove the communities and force individuals to leap from Facebook to some no-name forum, they’re far less l

Images serve to make a website beautiful. Dithered images are not - in my mind - beautiful. There are other ways to optimize a website speed and bandwidth. Let's serve devices the image resolution that they can handle and not an XL ima

Makes sense. A lot of my work involves parsing crawled pages, ie. html -> structured dom tree -> some heuristic search or other algorithm to tag or extract elements. So in this case the compute per page is relatively high but I still

Interesting product - have felt an acute need for something similar while writing machine learning preprocessing pipelines without having to spin up a dask or pyspark cluster. How are you dealing with data streaming latency here? For most o

Fun fact: Listings in California used to contain a unilateral offer of subagency by default. So _all_ realtors were legally bound to work in the seller's interest, even if a buyer had reached out to them in the first place. So you can
