I made a little email/web app that makes it easy to have a shared list like this for my wife and I, it’s very barebones but I use it every day: https://www.onit.today/ I found the alternatives to be either: designed to

In principle I don’t entirely disagree that the pendulum has swung way too far towards monetization and away from pure vision in video game design, but it’s funny you mention chefs not compromising…the restaurant business is notoriously low

There was just a pretty huge rezoning (with much NIMBY protest) of the Gowanus neighborhood of Brooklyn, close to Manhattan, which is currently mostly composed of empty lots and single-story warehouses/light manufacturing around the co

I've long had this fantasy of a smart road pilot program wherein manufacturers would partner with governments (or toll road owners in some places?) to make self-driving- only smart lanes, where you have to surrender control but the ca

I've never worked for Amazon but have worked in a couple of warehouses, I'm trying to envision any system that involves a lot of humans working as quickly as possible while still making it impossible to have out of place items..

There's already a pretty mature world of apps that interface with BMWs to turn features on and off, even my 14 year old BMW has hundreds of features you can toggle with an iOS app+OBD dongle. Everything from changing how the sunroof sw

I particularly like Carbon Based Lifeforms in this vein as well. I assembled a psybient-oriented coding playlist from a bunch of stuff I’ve enjoyed listening to while in the zone over the years, it’s full of Ultimae Records tracks: https:&

Yeah I never cared much for weed when it was whatever my college friends were buying in the early 2000s, it made me feel edgy and uncomfortable. I was curious when it started to become legal in the US and realized it was actually just too s

Most places in Massachusetts sell a pretty wide variety of oil-based tinctures that you can precisely meter out (5 - 10mg/ml, with a little dropper). Often there are varieties with high ratios of CBD:THC as well, like 1:1 and 10:1. Eas

It’s been almost 15 years but I do remember always knowing when my pre-smartphone cell phone was about to ring. It’d make my stereo system buzz loudly moments beforehand.

I had many of those fun extensions, I think my favorite was one that added physics to your desktop icons so they’d hang from your cursor at an angle if you dragged them from a point other than their “center of gravity”. Sometimes I’d just t

How do we define being "the best at technology"? In software there are some types of tasks that truly benefit from any additional hour worked, but plenty of others for which that is actively counterproductive. I'd say I'

I did the same thing in college and learned fairly quickly that I don't really care to remember all of my dreams. Nights where I remember all of my dreams don't feel restful and are sort of disorienting. It's hard to describe

Spotify clearly has set internal goals around podcast adoption and has been pushing them on users for a while (I assume because of the extra margin of playing ads to “ad free” premium subscribers), so it makes sense they’d get some kind of

There are a lot of people using virtualized development environments, which can make it much simpler to run a production-like system locally. I’m pretty sure 16gb machines have been the baseline for developers everywhere I’ve worked for the

There was certainly a breach three weeks ago that they seem to have been investigating since. I am, like the commenter above, not filled with confidence about their statement, mostly because of the total lack of transparency so far. The fac

The impact of a real name policy on any individual’s behavior also really depends on how common their name is. For someone with a unique name it means others can instantly know their real identity. For someone whose name is shared by tens o
