Cable is probably the leader in most markets in the US. DSL hasn’t been given the same innovation love, so in markets where it is still marketed (primarily by AT&T) the speeds are almost always lower/capped at 50Mbps down. In more

Oy, me too, and though I love Twilio they are an offender here! What is the point of this pattern? Something to do with SSO validation or something?

So I'm not entirely clear on the advantage that Suspense has over the typical pattern of loading data in componentDidMount, and just having a bit of logic that checks whether your data has loaded or not and renders the spinner or the a

Hey congrats! People will complain about the package being to small or trivial, but just keep on creating. We all start somewhere, and hooks are a fun thing to experiment with. It's true that most folks probably would do their own impl

Sure, but let's face it, I don't think HP's top priority here is actually trying hard to make it small... :|

In my family we use Instant Ink and actually love it. We're on the largest plan (300 pages/mo). We spend less on ink now than we used to, and it is a huge relief to not have to make a late-night run to the big box store because th

What does one use a mainframe for these days? I'm assuming projects that require massive parellelism, like research projects or engineering modeling and computation? For those of us with only exposure to PCs and commodity servers, I&#x

I'm wondering how the particular address bar change helps alleviate this though. As I've seen it implemented, the only subdomain they'll "elide" is www, so if it is google-secure-payments.google.via.net it will st

I use Brave as my daily driver, but this trickled down into Brave as well this morning. I was confused for a minute what I had done with a subdomain on one of my sites, and then got very frustrated when I realized the Chromium team had put

I don't know if there's a catch there, but there are several high-yield savings accounts that will get you above 2% interest rates. Usually it's just due to the fact that they are online-only, no branches to go into. A few of

Sure, but it’s still an interesting observation. Seems like it would merit further investigation to see if there was a related causal mechanism.

Most interesting is that interference began before the earthquakes hit. Is that already a datapoint that is being used in earthquake predictions?

SimCopter was one of the most underappreciated Sims ever! Especially fun was loading up the cities you built in SimCity and flying around them in SimCopter. Oh man, good times.

Having only ever seen one major outage event in person (at a financial institution that hadn't yet come up with an incident response plan; cue three days of madness), I would love to be a fly on the wall at Google or other well-establi

Does the webRequest API deprecation also impact Chromium, and therefore Brave as well? Brave seems like it's willing to backfill in changes to Chromium, but I'm wondering how this impacts the browser overall. I use Brave as my dai

So let's talk alternatives. EcoBee? Honeywell? What's the suggested alternate device and route for those of us that like a little control, like having other services that can integrate, and don't want to be yanked around by s

Same. Name resolution is failing but intermittently, changing from second to second whether it resolves or not.

Actually, this was tangentially addressed. It specifically mentions the fact that we are getting less bright light exposure today due to our increasingly indoor habits (versus historical contexts where humans typically worked outside more),

Branding. Remember the iconic dancing shadow iPod commercials? The person was not the focus; not even the iPod was the focus. The white headphones, unique at the time, were the focus.

From the looks of the Twitter thread pointed out by @ 0xDEFC0DE, looks like the ransonmware was spread by Active Directory group policies, probably by organized crime, as opposed to a random drive-by download infiltrating an entire organiza

Nice, I was just looking at this very topic today. Note that with `itertuples()` you can also access the values by column name as well, so in your example you can also do `namedTuple.Name` or `namedTuple.Skill`.

I’d highly recommend the Refactoring UI book: https://refactoringui.com/book/ I’ve gained a ton from the principles laid out in it, and it’s geared more towards the non-designer (think: engineer) which is perfect.

Nicely done. I recently made a progress dashboard for myself that tracked my billable hours (I consult) for the week/month in a Google Sheet, and have it pulling the data automatically from Harvest, my time tracker. Then I have the she

Of the $550 million, I wonder how much of it is in materials cost and how much of it is in penalties paid to renegotiate delivery dates for the affected customers.

Great war story with enough specifics to be learnable, thanks for sharing! Reflects my experience as well.

Very neat Tyler, love the attention to the non-VC funding space. Besides the no equity position of Earnest, could you do a quick compare/contrast with TinySeed, of similar ilk and recency?

Does anyone know if Google uses GA data (in particular bounce rates, time-on-site, etc.) as signals in rankings? I've always wondered if the additional data gathered once a user clicks through from the SERP to the site was eventually f
