What benefits do smart dishwashers bring that are worth the costs of having to deal with wifi connectivity issues and firmware updates? It sounds like a poor tradeoff.

I like the cold war tech aesthetic of this. I can imagine 1 million soviet troops being outfitted with a handheld MVP computer each as part of their kits.

If your device is no longer able to get updates, and there is no viable alternative OS that you can run, it is no longer perfectly good. Perfectly good for electronics recycling perhaps.

I predict that people will continue to wear masks during covid and flu spikes like they've done for decades in countries like Japan. At least when you're in urban areas or taking a subway packed with people.

Interesting how there's a major shift in the knowledge about risks of things like sugar, cigarettes, alcohol, etc. And it usually turns out there was an industry group involved in sort of a coverup. The lesson here is to take any heal

Speaking of Meta, has anyone noticed how many articles talking about the metaverse act like it already exists?

Here's hoping that Bitwarden stays on the same course for the foreseeable future. I've seen plenty of excellent product like this fall victim to monetizing everything like CCleaner.

If you're outside of Europe, it really depends on the country. Some countries it might be Telegram, Whatsapp, Line, WeChat, etc. There's no real universal standard.

It's always interesting to read these. Everyone assumes that technological progress will continue along the exact same lines as before. And nobody really anticipates the social progress and changes that truly set us apart from 1922.

I used to name my variables after my friends, classmates, and food in middle school in the 90s. It was all fun until I was trying to remember what the purpose of hotDog was.

My uneducated guess is resistance to coronaviruses and better health policies due to previous epidemics.

tl;dr the solution is a USB-powered cup of Yahtzee dice. There was some debate over the color of the dice and usb-c vs usb-a. But it will be included in the next kernel release and shipped out to every user of the linux kernel with the nex

Think of it this way. Your partner asks you to empty the dishwasher. But the dishwasher is already empty. Is that an error, dishwasher is already empty? Or a guess what it's already done, success!

I tried all sort of ways of taking notes in math class using LaTeX, an iPad, etc. I had the most success using pencil and paper. You want as little friction as possible, especially trying to remember latex syntax. Remember, math been don

This is excellent news. Vaccines and an easy to get prescription treatment like tamiflu are how this stops being a pandemic.

That's one thing that separates older and younger New Yorkers. I've hailed a taxi maybe twice in my life, but I've used a ton of Uber, Lyft, Gett, Via, etc. They have such a mindshare advantage over NYC. I always heard storie

There can be a labor shortage until the market reacts to the labor shortage. Kind of like a rubber band snapping back.

The real reasons I use Linux are mostly out of convenience. For example, updating all my software and OS using one command rather than clicking on 50 updaters.

"The Verge reported that the new name for the holding company could be linked to Horizon" How about Verizon? That's a creative name.

When people say to not rely too much on proprietary software, this is why. "Oh, flash will be around forever! There's nothing to worry about". Same could be said about so many other things.

My team pre-covid had half the team in New York and half the team in Warsaw. Post-covid, we have 1 person in New York, one in Philly, 2 in California, and 1 in Warsaw. We could've never set up a team like this if we were expected to

Authentication methods are older than you might think. They used two factor authentication back in Rome during the late republic years. Wealthier patrician households shared mail centers to retrieve messages sent from other provinces. Whe

Imagine if Google went down like this for 8 hours. No Gmail, Google Search, Google Maps, Google Drive, YouTube? I thought these companies were a little more fault tolerant.

Definitely sucks to be stuck on Windows 10 and not having an upgrade path for a machine that's only a few years old. But always happy to have WSL2 available for Ubuntu.
