Haha, I had a good chuckle at the rendering with all the ads. The brew pub especially.

I love curated checkmate training, and I would disagree with the other posters. I would in fact recommend you don't make the training "random", but keep them in line with the book. Presumably, like Polgar Mates, there's

We had an intern (who was great) who has struggled to find work for almost a year now, going by LinkedIn. Awful. And if he can't get a job, I can't imagine how most young devs feel these days.

I love it. The ultimate in trickle-down economics. Sell renewable products at insane markups to rich idiots.

I definitely exist in a bubble, but it's especially useful while driving. Or for searches "Hey Siri, what is the capital of Zambia?" is faster than typing it, and you don't even need to reach for your phone. (Of course S

I didn't realize how stupid of an argument this was until my girlfriend pointed out how every single highway/landscape/street is absolutely covered in powerlines. The very few wind turbines are beautiful in comparison to what

It's really funny when people don't believe it though. At first glance it looks like such an obvious "you're a gullible idiot" hoax, haha.

The Children's Hospital, by Chris Adrian. So great! https://store.mcsweeneys.net/products/the-childrens-hospital I've also read A Prayer For Owen Meany (John Irving) more than once.

I think it's hilarious that anyone smart & hardworking enough to build a tool this neat would bother cheating on an exam in the first place, haha.

My understanding of Librela is that it specifically targets arthritis pain. I don't think it has anything to do with the breed, but more about what kind of pain they are in. My bigger, older dog did much better on it, but not as well a

In addition, if anyone has an older dog, they should also immediately look into Librela: https://www.zoetisus.com/products/dogs/librela/ This is a miracle drug that pretty much instantly changed both my (olde

There is no hope, to be honest. I think we should start taking bets on total taxonomic loss for this extinction event. I think we can beat the Triassic at 83 %. Go humans!

Imagine being a scientist on the wrong side of the orca wars. Spend your time figuring out how save nature, instead.

Typically I'm only worried about police during highway driving, so I don't actually mind the phone usage that much. You make a point: it's not the greatest & safest, but Waze has a much better UI than Google Maps for this

Waze is really good. No comment on the accuracy of the directions, but I loved the crowdsourcing, and the warnings were the best of any of Apple, Google, & Waze. Loved the very accurate "police ahead" warnings. Like most of yo

Exactly. HR employees are the most untrustworthy folks in any organization, short of the executives that direct them.

When I asked my vet about the efficacy of Lyme disease vaccine (which I'd read was mostly pointless, more risky, and not-long-lasting) I felt like a total anti-vaxxer. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles&#x2F

I actually felt that way as well (and I have dogs, not kids). I felt like 2 days a week in the office was like a mini-vacation from home. Other than the commute (which negated most of the benefit) getting out of the house felt like socializ

I was really disappointed with the Rapid API buyout, but anyway, the client for Mac seems essentially unchanged, is the good news. The weird thing is that I can find NO mention of the client on their site: https://rapidapi.com&#x

Man, 36 is young. I'm a self-taught programmer who started as an engineer, and although that obviously gave me a huge leg up, I started at the bottom as a Junior dev. I was about your age when I took my first coding interview. The hars

I would tend to agree with you. Of all the horrible aspects of airplane travel, boarding is definitely not the worst. Just sit patiently until last call then saunter on. Staying calm and patient is the hard part, of course.

Great article, thanks for sharing. I love Vim, and although my usage is totally vanilla these days, I use Vim plugin for VSCode which is awesome (lack of :norm is the only downside I've found). Vimium for Firefox is also a must-have h

I don't know about Manhattan, but I can tell you in my small hometown, you can walk down to the pub any night and you'll meet up with some friends randomly, no planning required. It's actually amazing. Of course this is much

For some reason this makes me feel depressed. I guess it is the lack of functional time machine combined with the on-going Holocene extinction.

My friend had coffee delivered via drone (Canberra, Australia) and it was pretty fun. Certainly feels less wasteful (energetically) than a car & driver. The massive drone was pretty cool, too. That being said, Canberra is probably the p

It's shocking how angry this article makes me. In an era of scummy ad-tech, decreasing search result quality, and explosion of crappy web content, I'd be embarrassed to publish this.
