Really sounds more like Walter to me, but they’d probably make a pretty good founding team! I’d like to see them do a pitch.

If argue that if you were ever asked to show your work, you were writing the equivalent of a mathematical essay. Maybe you never had to learn proofs, but I did. “I didn’t have to do that and I turned out fine” isn’t a very rigorous pedagogy

Essay writing shows that you actually know the domain material, that you are capable of holding onto a thought for more than 3 seconds and that you can communicate thoughts clearly to other people. What’s an alternative way to show those th

That’s usually how it’s done with words that end in one consonant when adding a suffix that starts with a vowel, so as not to change the pronunciation of the short vowel in the root word due to english’s rules around long and short vowels.

I have a couple pairs of Fjallraven Vidda Pros, and they have double knees with an opening to slip a foam pad inside (which they also sell). Carhartt has a similar method with their work jeans. I’m sure this could be DIY’d as well for the s

There is another kind of mistake than can be made besides procedural. My worst safety screwups in foodservice were 2 things: cutting through my fingernail and about 2/3 of my entire fingertip with a brand new chefs knife (looked away a

I worked about 12 years in restaurants, held every job besides mgmt level, including one of the hardest being an upscale dive bar with actually decent food and a sparkling kitchen (read: lots of elbow grease), where the cooks also had to wa

Longtime Moom user, I’ve tried many others but this is the best IMO. The config plist is part of my dotfiles repo and I’ve been able to effortlessly port the settings between multiple new machines. Everything I need is available with just k

Have you actually talked to Apple? They might just replace them. Is this the only pair that’s demonstrated this behavior, or has it been multiple units?

Something is wrong with them. I can use mine repeatedly over several days before finally needing to plug them in again. You should reach out to support.

Disagree, I’ve been coordinating a lot of things lately–house projects, social events, travel, healthcare, work, etc etc–and have basically had a phone glued to my hand, which means i’m one hand down and constantly cranking my neck. if i co

I've wanted to ditch the iPhone/Macbook and go watch/airpods/ipad for years now. They need to decouple the requirement to own an iPhone to get a watch up and running (this should be something an iPad can do), and make th

Similarly, I’ve been thinking lately about forking Swift, because there’s a lot I love about the language, but also a lot of, IMO, unnecessary sugar and redundant surface area.

I have about 10 5-quart jugs stashed away in my garage, I’ll eventually bring them to the auto parts store when I already need to go there for something. It’d be silly to make a dedicated trip each time.

I dunno, it takes me about 15 minutes of actual work to change my oil, vs driving to and from the shop and waiting. It’s like a 10x time difference, and I’m still probably doing it with more care than Jiffy Lube.

Pretty wild that you can intuit the city boundary by using the car break-in stat, it’s the most evenly and widely distributed one I saw.

I’m not sure brevity and explicitness are totally orthogonal, explicit sort of implies spelling things out in a longer way. That doesn’t mean that something that is long is thorough, however. I like the tradeoff the Swiftlang project talks

Could you explain why that is? If I have an airgapped smart home network, someone has to come physically sniff the packets. If it’s only over ethernet, they have to physically plug in. That’s not a scalable attack strategy.

Thanks for the responses! Honestly I wouldn’t hate just using YAML to edit these. Great points otherwise. I didn’t see in the demo, but if I could scrub back/forth through the animation, that would be really nice. Good luck on the proj

I know you said you prefer the GUI over text-based, but that was the exact thing I wanted to ask for after trying your demo. GUI just doesn’t scale like text does. How will you be able to generate a diagram from code or a running process un

I have also given money to criminal advocacy groups. I’ll take back my harshest accusations of empty words against you in light of your claims. But let’s not lose perspective here. Murder, rape, embezzlement… these are despicably selfish

I don’t read it as a revenge fantasy so much as indifference and an unwillingness to work for them to improve their conditions. I get that it would be better for society if we all worked harder to treat criminals better to lower the recidiv

You really have to experience it yourself to see how the strategies you come up with affect debugging and changing the code when fixing bugs or adapting to new requirements. Things like strictly requiring 4 or less lines per function leads

It’s more like someone who gives talks about smashing atoms to study subatomic particles without ever having been to a particle accelerator facility. You can’t replace experience. There’s theory, then there’s practice. Ideas are worthless u

Actually I think that overcorrecting for decorum is taking us to Idiocracy faster. It’s right there in the name: we need to stop coddling idiots, grifters and otherwise unqualified people that work their way into positions of power. Agile g
