Sharing isn't just about ego massaging. When I travel alone and visit a beautiful place, I always wish I had a friend with me to share the experience. Personally I find it much less fulfilling to witness something cool by myself than t

Right? To me as a foreigner living here its glaringly obvious that the affordability problem is at least in great part due to SFH zoning. I think basically anyone not native to the US or Canada immediately understands this. I'm glad to

My reaction to pushy "sign up to view" is nearly always of revulsion and mentally pledging to never ever sign up. I'm obviously not alone here.

I live in metro Vancouver. The market is stupid right now (has been for years I guess). Its fairly common for houses to sell 200-400K over asking price, with sometimes one or two dozen offers. Also as the article says, this is just a bandai

Its heartwarming to see these personal sites/blogs. I really enjoy this kind of enthusiasm, interest and curiosity about tech things, and personally I feel like there's been continuously less of that in my peers at every day job.

AGI sounds terrible. There's a reason it's mostly (only?) portrayed in distopias. I feel sorry for whoever thinks it's a good idea. Humanity is screwing itself just fine without AGI though. We're already well down the r

The Partiful screenshot in the article reminds me of mid-2000s TV-focused media player UIs (Windows Media Center, XBMC/Kodi etc). Must be really awkard to use in a web/mobile context.

How does it not matter? Do you equally enjoy working with every technology? Would you not care if you had to use a different operating system than whatever you've been using, let alone languages?

I enjoy NJB and other similar Youtube channels (Adam Something and Oh the Urbanity! are great, highly recommended), and his opinions on transit and urbanism are really interesting and reasonable. But this "move to Netherlands" tro
