I like the big Thoreau energy happening in this article. That said, vim was the vision of one (even that’s debatable) with the support of many and it’s far better than apple writer. The idea that the best software is the product of one or t

“Recently” is admittedly subjective but I was just there (2 times in 3 weeks) and can confirm it’s a new system to 4 years ago when the foreign passes were all paper. I think it’s called Tacent. It was so bad a local woman couldn’t even get

Singapore recently did a deal with a company no one has heard of for their immigration process and the results are cameras that don’t work to the point of the officials needing to manually adjust them, forms that don’t contain consistent da

This is actually the right answer AND imo the most horrifying aspect of it.

I bought a full fast mail account to try it out. It seemed pretty insecure coming from protonmail. They require location data for example. No need for that I can think of for the user. They also don’t do E2E or even what passes for e2e. I w

The triangle count on the mario example seems reversed. Super Smash Bros Brawl (2008) for the Wii has 3,049 triangles but fully modeled buttons? The description says the 3ds version has 31 more triangles and I'm just not seeing how tha

API costs are margin in trading and margin is everything. If you don’t have a way of managing that margin, you’re not a real trading firm. Pairing this type of execution with HFT would be their long term goal and that requires lots of feedb

This shocked me too. I kind of expect this to happen more on Arch because it gets marketed heavily to new users on Reddit but Debian seems geared more towards “olds” like me who just want a complete OS without a lot of effort. I couldn’t im

Who is running random curl scripts without checking the code first? Is this common now?

Why would I want to do something about it? It’s a good use of data that they have been very upfront about collecting. Aren’t machines doing things for me a good thing?

Apple, I don’t want a giant phone that I have to carry in my hands. Make another mini version that costs less than $2k and you can have my money. I already have an iPad or several laptops that I can do “big” things on.

I wan’t aware that an updated book was on the way. Pre-ordered it immediately. It's wonderful to see that, even after 40+ years, the people who created a scripting language are still providing new, well-documented features.

Neat keyboard. Going through the marketing materials on this site I noticed what appears to be a coffee shop example. I’ve started seeing this type of thing in coffee shops recently along with laptop stands and once even a full monitor setu

The highest valuation for a freight forwarder is 0.96x revenue last I checked. (K&N) Just not a very exciting business from a late stage/public investor standpoint. Lots of ways to make money in the space but not a straightforward

Lastpass has been sketch for years but AOL was still making money thanks to those CDs and email addresses last I checked. My chase card also recommends lastpass in their app’s shopping section.

Author is an AI fear monger (see previous articles) and with regards to elitism, it’s literally called fortune magazine.

Moved to Vegas a few years ago and hadn’t met the neighbors ahead of time. Turns out they’re Turkish and their cousin brings us a full pan of homemade baklava once a quarter. Mixes the types up. Perfect neighbors! Also, Summerlin farmers ma

Another good example of this is Apple’s “radio station” concept. It plays deep cuts unrelated to the originally chosen music about 3 songs into your list to spread the wealth (play songs with the smallest possible royalty costs).

I can't get over how Twitter's legal team doesn't show up on time for a court appointment. As a founder, I'm certain they're still billing for the time.

Then came the adtech boom. <img> got things started but a hidden iframe running ads in rotation? That minted fortunes.
