I had a different glitch but this reminded me. I have a 2017 Macbook Pro. About a week ago, the left speaker randomly started blasting odd rhythmic white noise. It stopped after a few seconds, but it appears to have blown the left speaker.

Does anyone have recommendations for what I can read to get started freelancing? I had a very successful religious mission, so I know I have "sales" skills, and I'm a pretty good software engineer, but I feel like I spin my w

I don't like this fatalistic attitude. Privacy is not black and white. I switched to signal, duck duck go, and Firefox. And since then, no one knows how to target ads to me anymore. That's a privacy win, even if there's a lon

Most of the discussion here is making this far too one-sided. I reserve the right to control how content is delivered to my devices by blocking ads, and spotify reserves the right to block my account for doing so. Both of those practices ar

I agree that it's a disease, but I believe it's simply a disease of luxury. Americans are wealthy enough to buy the most convenient car possible and afford the gas costs that go with it. I drive small cars and once in a while with

I'm with you, I've always admired the teeny utility trucks I see when I travel in China. It never occurred to me I could just import one thats >25 years old.

I just don't get it. a John Deere Gator with two seats and 4 wheels, and not much else costs over $7000 new. No windows, No airbags, pathetic top speed, not road legal. A Lada 4x4 costs less than that brand new in Russia. Road legal, s

I started using ghostjs recently for personal writing. It's probably the most enjoyable writing experience I've ever had. Makes me want to come up with more reasons to write.

I'm working on a course much less bulky than this one. Basically mixing the first two semesters of CS at any university with your standard bootcamp curriculum. I have a theory that teaching each concept in multiple languages side by si

This is not the case in Utah. I started my career in California and left a previous job in Utah with weeks of PTO unused and was shocked to discover there was no legal requirement to pay me for that time.

Because long term tenure doesn't get companies enough of a return. If a company wants me to stay long term, I need regular raises above the rate of inflation, parental leave, everything you listed. It's so much cheaper to spend th

I think 99% of the time bringing up survivorship bias adds nothing to the conversation. If I tell you how I ran a marathon, you could shout "survivorship bias!" But that fact still stands that I hadn't successfully run a mara

It was really interesting to watch. Prices kept going up until spring of 2018 when they crossed the threshold into too high territory. This is where we were kind of in a bubble because there were some willing buyers paying more than they co

That seems like an ok solution, but I much prefer mine of just never sign it and trust that no one will realize I never signed it. Best to not put up a fuss but also provide an airtight defense should they ever come after me.

Browsers should give a way to download assets from websites to use later. This would be amazing for PWAs and take away the need for a dedicated app for your rather common use case.

Thanks for this, now I know exactly what I was trying to ask and the answer. I wonder if more companies moving away from VC opens the door for more founders to take advantage of the principal-agent issue.

One thing I don't understand about VC money, and i'm not even sure how to phrase this, are the founders of startups able to pay themselves enough that they're set even if the business fails? What's to stop intelligent pe

Same, I would certainly not enforce my child finishing all of that homework. I might go so far as to tell them not to. There's no way that wouldn't interfere with family time.

I didn't realize message queues were used for this type of task. I'm assuming you would then also use autoscaling pods that respond to the number of messages in the queue. How do you scale pods fast enough for a messaging applicat
