It really seems similar to dialysis, except more expensive. As technology develops and cheaper devices can be made we can democratize access to these lifesaving devices. It's in the interests of both you and I to democratize access to

Google's search results are just bad. For example, search: "Does Quebec have an NHL team?" The results suggest that Quebec does not have an NHL team, because it confuses the province of Quebec with Quebec City. Montreal, in

The genius of social media as an information control mechanism is that it gives people the illusion that they can speak and influence others. In reality, they are just yelling into a void. Unless you are a major internet personality, few

Does Mojeek use Google or Bing to get its results? Or is it separately crawling the web for search results?

On open source projects you can vet people based on whether you can personally identify them as real people. Moving forward be suspicious of anonymity for core contributions.

The lesson I take away from this incident is that we probably shouldn't be allowing anonymity for core contributers in critical open source projects. This attack worked and the attacker will likely get away with it free of consequence

While this seems plausible, it is notable that this person seems to be anonymous from the get go. Most open source maintainers are proud of their work and maintain publicly available personas.

This seems true with so many of these core libraries. Change for the sake of change introduces attack vectors. If it ain't broke, don't fix it!

The Quest Pro (~$1300) has an upgraded resolution of 2,160 x 2,160 pixels per eye. If Apple's marketing is to be believed they are offering double the pixel resolution of the Quest Pro.

I have a section in my notes app that highlights interesting excerpts, sayings and pieces of wisdom. It's always a pleasure to go back and read what my old self thought was cool.

I like the article's push for regulation, as if that isn't just an excuse for the existing big players to erect a moat around their technology to protect it from competition.

I like this way of seeing it. All of us, at some point in our lives, have acted Helpless, Intelligent, Stupid, and as Bandits. Life and growth is learning from the past and improving where the balance of your behaviour lands in each respe

So far the best thing in the burger course was learning how to deglaze, I never knew that trick. The questions on types of cheeses or how to cut an onion were weird and felt wrong. (What about the easy root method for cutting?!)

I went through the app, and I've answered like 30 questions now on food storage/safety and it feels like I'm taking a tedious course. Weird. Is that all it is, food preparation trivia? Please don't lead with this stuff

My point is, Canadians think of government land philosophically as something that is not theirs, but rather, owned by the crown -- the Queen. While Americans see public land as their shared land. This mentality penetrates into many of t

You're at a National Park. In Canada, it's crown land. In America, it's your park. The Canadian mentality is different.

One thing I’ve always admired with physical jobs is the natural level of physical exercise and human interaction that can come with them. It’s very easy to become schlubby and introverted from sedentary office work. Your job will change y

Hmm that's possible. I've had this problem on multiple Mac's now. The files are going to my Downloads folder which triggers an iCloud upload. That uploading process shouldn't prevent it from showing in my downloads fo

For years now, Mac OS X has had a bug where if you download a file like an image from the internet, and want to upload it elsewhere, there's a long delay (10-30 seconds or more) before the file shows up in your file system to select it

If you are a developer relying on tools like docker and ruby, beware of the M1 chip as there are still lots of incompatibilities. https://www.driftingruby.com/episodes/a-rubyist-s-apple-m1-r...

The accounting profession exists, precisely because you need to get it right and successful founders don't have the time to be wasting their time on it. Trust me on this: don't think you can survive the tax system on your own. H

It's common for ambitious employees in not-so-ambitious tech companies to lose their jobs over not realizing that the optimal strategy for keeping their job is to just do their work as told, collect a pay cheque, and not innovate. In t

That import chats from Slack feature is compelling, damn. So Zulip doesn't hide chats over a certain amount like Slack does eh? This could make it extremely useful for cash strapped non-profits.
