Nobody is actually doing anything interesting with these. It all seems to be marketing landing pages intended to direct you to the real URL.

> The order of the lights doesn't change. That argument has two issues: First, not all US traffic lights have order, as single-light ones replace stop signs in some (mostly suburban/rural) areas. Second, light position is still

I used to sympathize with this take until I bought a Zojirushi water boiler, which provides instantaneous hot water. Now even a faster kettle is a downgrade in experience.

YMMV but I found a passion in programming, self-learning led to a career, and life sorted itself out from there. Also, travel frequently if you have the means to.

In a world of fleeting software, Vim is a timeless masterpiece. I only wish I had the opportunity to thank Bram for the impact he's had on my life and career, because I don't think I would have come as far without Vim.

That thought never really occurred to me, and now I’m feeling a deep sense of regret. BM has had more impact on my career than anybody.

If he's truly a novice, then he's not an anything-guy yet (hopefully). Just teach him what you know and let him to discover GUI tools by himself if he's so inclined.

Cool product and great execution! I've had the idea to build something like this for a while, but I'd rather use this.

One aspect that I find particularly vexing is the apparent lag when toggling between MacOS Spaces, even when the 'reduce motion' setting is enabled. I utilize Spaces as an alternative to multiple monitors, often alternating betwee

I switched to Apple's password manager after being burned by Twilio Authy's inability to retrieve the 2FA setup codes. I wish they had made this lock-in more clear. Overall I'm happy with my decision. I'm now even using

I'd be very interested to know exactly what metrics allow them to ignore the fact that their most-recent app redesign has been, from what I can tell, unanimously disliked and shown to frustrate their userbase.

I agree that these byproducts can be an issue. However, in the context of a life-threatening situation like a power blackout in a blizzard, where the alternative is death from exposure to the cold, running a gas stove for a long duration ma

I live in Buffalo NY, and from the recent record-breaking snowstorms, I've concluded that the push for electrification of home appliances may not be the best solution. Although gas furnaces still require electricity, they can operate f

Fascinating. I wish I could do something similar. My personality traits naturally favor isolation, darkness and the cold. Unfortunately, I doubt there's any need for software engineers in Antarctica.

Besides the fact that I prefer ICE, and need a 4WD off-road vehicle, I don't want to further enrich Elon Musk.

I used it to teach me how to implement an airbnb clone in postgres using only native postgres data types and methods (e.g. point, earth_box). It was mostly an exercise in learning the types, and the interactivity had me up and running much

As a developer, I understand this sentiment. As an iPhone user however, I don't want the power to shift to developers, because I know developers have financial or other interests that are sometimes at odds with mine. A large portion of

Sidenote: does anybody else find this type of website hard to read? Seems like animated text on scroll is all the rage these days. But I find it takes the focus off the copy, and makes it harder to read quickly.

You can't blame Steve Jobs for that. Perhaps you can blame the absence of Steve for the proliferation of capacitive touch screens where they are not suited. I believe Steve would've known better, at least in the automotive world.
