I have a dongle for USB(-A) that provides only charging and no data transfers. Is there a reverse option where you can buy a dongle that intercepts this madness with overvoltage protection or whatever?

I don't know if this is as much of a comeback for RSS as a comeback for self-hosted services. I needed RSS enough to self-host Fever (on A Small Orange which is a POS that I need to migrate from, if anyone can recommend me a simple and

This is probably the right answer, boring as it is. I also loved that I would actually see Sal's videos come up as the top results for my calculus questions to illustrate things like matrix multiplication. It's not often I feel li

I think a part of it is the Instagram/Twitch mentality where publicly performing or sharing something plays into things now. Easier to take photos of your computer and share them if they look like a cryogenic chamber. :) In addition, a

The most infuriating part of AMP for me is that I can't count the number of times I'd read an AMP version of an article, and graphics in it were just plain missing without any heads up. Why newspapers and the like would gimp the

How safe are the materials for 3D printing wrt contact with human skin these days? I recall earlier versions of resin being a bit dodgy back in the day.

Twitch VODs are automatically deleted after a couple of days, so either check it out now at https://twitch.tv/ninja (with the chat archive intact) or watch the recap on his YouTube channel.

Sort of, but Epic Games seem to actually know how to program. PUBG, not unlike it's former competitor H1Z1, has languished with a terrible code base whose technical debt seems to have kept PUBG from ever really fixing things. The netco

I have ADHD and I hate it and it sucks. But I think 85% of the issue with my ADHD is the social stigma and people who will never understand nor accept it. I don’t think the right response is some kind of eye-rolling “ADHD-positivity”; peopl

I once told a sales rep from my ISP to stop trying to sell me on a phone subscription to which he replied that "I probably signed up for a Facebook competition or something" as if that justified it. (I don't have a Facebook a

I would absolutely love a flow chart library that used this with decent text alignment. I used to prefer mermaid.js, but it silently fails in ways the don't work that well for me: https://mermaidjs.github.io/mermaid-liv

One of the things I can’t understand as a Chrome user and developer is how limited your options for explicit extension permissions are. Either people will not install extensions (basically my case), or the Chrome team will teach people to i

I don’t for the life of me understand the people who write about programming on Medium when the CMS doesn’t even have native syntax highlighting. I wish I could tell people it’s straightforward to migrate from Medium, but it involved a lot

As a latecomer to macOS, Tweetie feels like a bygone era back when the default didn't seem to be Electron and web views. I want to believe in online apps, but god, they all just suck so much, if not at launch, then a few years down the

It's usually referred to as an "x sigma event". A paper I really like on this is "How Unlucky is 25-Sigma?" https://arxiv.org/abs/1103.5672 .

I really loved how The Hairpin, Awl, and Toast brought back the bloggy atmosphere other sites and publications abandoned. Hopefully we'll still love to see quirky CMSes that hark back to the good old days of Blogspot, Typepad, and Live

Intel's spin throughout this has been so scummy that it's hard if not impossible for me to not go with Ryzen from now on. Especially as my Intel CPU keeps rebooting with no fix in sight.

It used to mean that, but the term's lost its meaning a long time ago, unfortunately. People can't even bring themselves to use the distinction for Waymo/Uber and Levandowski.

Outright shared apps sounds like a terrible experience. I can definitely understand the argument from a developer perspective wrt shared code bases between platforms, i don't know if the user part of me is excited, though. Maybe it&#x2

As a European, one of the most annoying tropes in US media is the "orientalism" laissez-faire European parenting; one day we will harness it into a source of perpetual energy.

Even AWS can't get their status pages right, how about people don't put their faith in something like this.
