The omission rules are what I see bungled most these days, as well as typographical things like the wrong version of the smart apostrophe appearing in the wrong place. Errors like "They want to outlaw Christian's" are easily

Are you willing to share a link to the specific chair you have? "Stressless" appears to be both a brand name and a type of recliner, which makes it difficult to search for.

That’s a really good point, I’ve had to redo diagrams before to fit them into a presentation, and because they were sprawling all over the place in Figma or Miro, they required extra work to fit correctly and be readable. Powerpoint or Goog

Neither have been effective for me. I look for posts by hiring managers on Linkedin, and go from there -- e.g., look for a mutual connection to give a warm intro, message the hiring manager, etc.

I love Shredded Wheat. I have mine with a almond milk and a tiny bit of peanut butter or even shards of dark chocolate. It's a delicious and healthy snack after dinner that satisfies a craving for dessert.

I've never worked at Amazon, but this is something I really envy about my friends who do. I love a well-written, concise document, but the large enterprise I work at now is in love with Google Slides. I can't stand them.

This is very good advice: > Also contact a good estate lawyer. Who can often be the same as elder care lawyer. They’ll help you get a lot of the estate and also powers of attorney in order. This has been worth every penny, because the la

Yes. The people who "practice SEO" are pure cringe, and watching people buy into their snake oil is cringeworthy as well.

I have two criteria: 1. Reviews by that author/site are exhaustive, not one-paragraph reheated press releases. 2. Reviews by that author/site are sometimes negative. A site that has all positive reviews is just a marketing brochur

I knew a Sales guy who made the dual-job arrangement work. One job was high commission, low salary; the other job was low commission, high salary. He busted his ass at the high-commission job and earned his high commission, and just did not

I've been seeing ads for a while, or at least I thought I had. Are you sure that you just started seeing ads today? (Specifically, I saw a giant "billboard" ad at the top of the screen.)

"Services" includes Apple TV+, Apple Music, Apple Arcade, Apple News, and iCloud+. I wish Apple broke out the subscriber or revenue numbers for each item in Services.

I don't mind them. Some feel more forced than others. That said, there's a time and a place to use them. A layoff announcement is possibly the worst place to use them, perhaps second to a death announcement. "Today we are dev

Musk/Twitter and Trump are the go-tos for pageviews. It's pitiful how some of the "articles" sites like the Verge cobble together are outdated by the time they reach the promotional cycle, because Musk did a sharp U-turn

Yeah this is a good call. I did this when I moved to a new city 8 years ago — once a week was a brewery running club, and I ran by myself or with a friend the other days. I also liked geeking out over the gear — running is nice because you

This is covered in the "The PC Is Not a Typewriter"[1], by Robin Williams. (No, not that Robin Williams.) I adjusted from two spaces to one back in 1999 or so, when I read this book, and the adjustment wasn't as painful as

You can block them, which I’ve been doing more than I’d like today. I blocked Gary Vee, Wendy’s, the UFC, The Verge, Khloe Kardashian, and about a dozen more accounts I would never follow.

I noticed that bizarre dark-mode thing too — it feels like going into a room and flipping the light switch, and a water faucet turns on.

Well there’s plenty to choose from. Threads, Mastodon, Substack Notes, Post.News, Bluesky, and all the tangential copycats (Nostr, Spill, T2 Social, Truth Social, Hive). We have to be reaching oversaturation in this space. I really wonder i
