hey, this is pretty neat to see a word count summary up front > ( 2341 words, approximately 13 minutes reading time. ) I'd love to see that in every article and perhaps have some css setting that I could globally twiddle for every w

you have any tips for managing expiration dates? Me and the wife were getting into this subject recently. I'm considering buying a barcode scanner and just have an in and out spreadsheet that somehow I manage. Still tinkering with a fe

I always figured the cost of the additional square footage in a home per property tax etc was part of the equation. There's some cost for additional size usually. But if you're already paying that cost better to get some use out o

pretty cynical take but maybe possibly it's a way to monetize these events, get a lil cash in exchange for the news however much it's worth.

Aha. That would be cool to see an independent reproduction of those experiments. Good stuff.

Interesting. How’d you come to that conclusion?

honestly I think because they're all forced to live on the devices they develop they simply haven't had a need to be exposed to competitors and assume no one else has solved the problem to a high degree of satisfaction. When I wor

I'm glad to hear others experiences match my own. Sometimes when some bizarre behavior manifests I can never quite tell if I'm the bozo who did something silly and tickled some feature unbeknownst to me or if the device did someth

would you mind sharing a link to that resource. Is there a union rate webpage or something of the like where you can dial in your region and type of work etc like an online calculator or is there just some table printed somewhere online?

why's that, is there some guarantee they fail to live up to? Is there something probabilistic to them or something?

so true, names in different contexts have different needs. For internal stuff comprehension is king. I see this show up in front end and backend stuff frequently, especially in the microcosm of a console app in python where argparser can sp

I was just in this dilemma to begin to eliminate accounts and random stuff I signed up for in periods of my life that are long gone. Many of them still have my email for some registration I made but have since eliminated all the emails and

For another angle what exactly is the source for our distinct voices to begin with? Are everybody’s vocal chords distinct in some way like a fingerprint or something or is it mostly governed by our baseline neural control considering how pe

that's quite a pivot. Can you link to an example of a typical before and after video of that content creator? I'm curious what the connection is.

wow, I wonder if that's why it always feels so frequent an experience of mine where the audio and video feel subtly out of sync with one another. It's very minute but detectable. Feels like that experience has increased in the las

So true, local accolades are simply unknown in the wider realm. Big name brand travels farther than niche ranks of stellar departments in smaller known universities.

You ask people “how did you arrive at this conclusion”. That’s a good invitation to extract a walkthrough of how that conclusion was arrived at, what observations, data, evidence, references, whatever informed their conclusion about whateve

I always felt that mantra of Apple simplicity was a cop out for lack of desire or inability to write rich complex software at scale and not get subsumed by bugs and QA load. It is a matter of prioritization too, the non sexy stuff doesn’t s

Interesting, they want location data to confirm presence at a given spot. > or not post a Submission that has location data removed or where Apple is unable to verify the location.
