Life without a smartphone increasingly challenging. You have to use either Google or Apple. I use a de googled Android lineage phone but this is always getting harder, as numerous threads on this site will attest. Plus literally every emplo

But in a democracy, you at least have input! Google is also a coercive force with no real checks on its power, but it doesn't care about anything you have to say. That's the difference, that's it, right there. The answer to a

On this side of the wall, you and your friends are strong and happy and free in your garden. On the other side, a hellscape filled with giant monsters debating how best to filet you. You will keep ceeding them ground, your garden gets ever

Strong agree. That passage seems to me to be decrying the friction of the real world, whereas it's become increasingly clear to me just how valuable friction is in the world, and how inextricably tied the tech companies war on friction

Yeah this is a killer app for mcp servers. My puppy has food allergies and the vet asked me to track his eating and pooping. I ended up building an mcp server to do this data entry and now I track his activity and planning to track also his

A long time ago, I introduced dogstatsd at Airbnb. We had already been using vanilla statsd (with no tag support -- cardinality lived in the metric name!) and this was a low cost migration. More than a decade later, I'm assuming it was

Submodules work fine but yeah, it's frustrating that lfs is taking so long. But there seems to be some momentum recently https://github.com/jj-vcs/jj/pull/9068

I use vimium in Firefox and so my default key bindings are the plug-in ones. I push 't' to create a new tab, for instance. If I want to use the website key bindings I have to to into "insert mode" ('i'), or I o

Yes absolutely this. I've put so much effort into making sure I tick all the boxes and yet I constantly wonder if my email is getting delivered. This feels anti competitive to me. It's Google constantly telling me, give up, you kn

Oh cool I used to use https://web.hypothes.is/ for this but they never had a good Firefox extension so I stopped. How do you annotate with friends using Margin? Does everyone need to be on the same at proto server?

All the examples are fetching data from a server, and in such cases I think tanstack query already does all the hard part. I feel like people under-use react query and put too much state in their FE. This might be relevant if your app has s

Well, reading the study, I'm not sure more patients could rescue it from methodological bias. They assumed the premise basically -- we should find a biomarker, which is kind of what this thread is discussing. Then they went trawling fo

I cannot endorse mise more highly. I commit it to my repos to make sure every engineer has the same environment. I use it in CI for consistency there as well. I keep all commands that would normally be documented in a readme as mise tasks.

Dude get off the train. I run a self hosted immich instance for myself and some friends. I deleted all my Google photos from my Google account and I don't miss it. Alternatives exist. I love being able to automatically share my photos

Strongly agree! As someone who has been caring for a parent with dementia, it's definitely a use or lose it kind of situation. See also the studies on long term cognitive health in London cab drivers https://www.statnews.com

Strong words. I wonder if the author has PTSD from poorly managed teams and has never had the fortune to work in a high performance well managed collaborative environment. I agree these are rare compared to the other kind, but they exist. G

This is a good idea. Curious about two things: this tool is not useful unless lots of people use it, how will you promote it? Add (2) assuming it does become popular how will you control astroturfing?

Do you have specific recommendations for particularly well-governed indexes? Is something like ESGV insulated from such manipulation? Or is it time for investors to start building their own direct/custom indexing with something like Fr

Agreed. I was using mise to install Claude (via it's npm package) and keep it updated, and then they nagged me to switch to the 'curl | bash' method. Now I get to keep it updated manually, plus they helped train all my peers
