Aside: I absolutely adore the design of this website. I’ve tried to do something like it in my personal projects, but I’m not a designer and it always comes out as the wish.com version. Props and respect. Serious: I think this actually high

On the contrary, the term has been effective in raising awareness of terrible street design, and has exploded in interest (as far as these things go) in recent years. Trending awareness: https://trends.google.com/trends&#x2F

The one process part that can be controlled and jumped out from the first paragraphs is not letting people touch billion dollar equipment at the tail end of a 12-hour shift. If you are putting people in a situation with absolutely no safegu

Baking Soda/Vinegar still work on Safari. Still no ads. There’s some evidence they’re attempting to block them maybe once every ten plays, but I just hit refresh and it works.

Infuse app is great for streaming 4K MKVs from a NAS. Owlfiles is a great general purpose file browser with good media support.

But you don’t need to use the remote, iPhone or Apple Watch both do very well. I don’t bother with the remote at all anymore. And the first generation remote hasn’t been in use for a long while now, anyway.

Home-based childcare is reasonably common as sibling points out. Multnomah County (Portland OR) is rolling out preschool for all with an emphasis on home-based providers. One of the major questions about that approach is how well it scales

What are you talking about? Just the four cards is $10k, and then you still need to buy the rest of the computer. And you probably can’t take it with you and use it from the coffee shop or the couch. And yes, Windows systems are bad. They s

People here are jumping through hoops to justify these purchases. I don’t get it. It is completely OK to want to have nice things in your life. It is OK to invest in yourself. It is OK to place a high value (2021 vs 2023 Mac) or any value (

Outlook for Mac is a dream. The animations, design, great support for keyboards, focus mode integration, native toolbar UX, and menu bar app are almost enough to make me think there’s a future for desktop-native software. I don’t know how t

Guilty as charged. I almost commented about how I bugged HR to let me return to office when it became available (having some months earlier signed a permanent work-from-home contract). I like walking to work and having the work-life separat

Good thing Musk invented TeslaBot. I saw it at a showroom, so I assume it is totally real and totally cool. More seriously, seeing labor in other countries is waking me up to the need for NLRA reform in the US. It was great in 1935, but we

Lots of jobs do actually involve bulk reading and writing with relatively low quality targets. Lawyers and assistants being the prime examples. Also, almost all of undergrad for many, many degrees.

Not really. Open use isn’t allowed in Portland. Due to a quirk in state law, Portland can enforce a prohibition on drinking in public (outside of OLCC regulated establishments) but cannot enforce a prohibition on smoking or shooting up meth

I think I see the disconnect here. You’re saying that from the perspective of the Tumblr people, having been purchased by Yahoo/Verizon, there were limited options. And maybe negotiations with Apple came into play once the CSAM problem

I think you might be forgetting that Tumblr had a completely fine status quo, including showing me very much adult content on my iPhone, until Verizon bought them. Blaming the App Store was always an excuse. Tumblr just didn’t want to put t

It was up until a few weeks ago. There was a real change, loads of content and activity now. I’m getting decent engagement even without many followers. Good mix of local and national/international content. The algorithm got a lot bette

No it wasn’t. Instead of deleting the porn they could have just hid it from iOS users. Twitter, Threads, Instagram, Chrome, and countless other App Store apps are perfectly comfortable serving up racey content.

It seems obvious but the “just eat less” crowd needs to hear it. Ever try working on a tricky coding project while starving? Take a math test when all you can think about is finding something, anything, to eat? Losing significant amounts of

I think the real story that someone should dig into (maybe TheVerge, they like sensationalizing things) is that Microsoft has had a first-party mapping service since Windows Live (2005), but it isn’t remotely competitive with Apple Maps whi

I was going to downvote, then I remembered launchpad.app exists. Curiously, it isn’t just Apple’s built in apps that can’t be deleted. Edge, Spotify, Firefox, Obsidian, Teams, VS Code, and a whole bunch of Unreal utilities behave the same

I will make a note to try Parsec. I've been using RDP with both devices connected to the same LAN over ethernet. The experience is very good, the biggest annoyance is that I have to deal with Windows.

Anyone have insight as to whether these will be useful for ML tasks - mostly on pre-trained models? I have bulk jobs that I like to do for things like transcription and I'd like to add summarization as well (Whisper + Llama basically).

Some say that less than 120fps is literally unplayable. I remember when CoD 4 being 60fps on Xbox 360 was a big deal. Virtually unplayable is in the eye of the beholder.

For anyone interested in hearing more inmate voices, Ear Hustle is a great podcast. I just discovered it this year and it has made me think about prison from many new perspectives. https://www.earhustlesq.com/
