It would be better if there was a better value proposition, instead of “pay to get what we removed”. It’s not as though free users listening with the app in the background is somehow an additional marginal expense as opposed to them listeni

This is basically what I want, but with a UI that non-techie spouse wouldn’t mind using. Though that doesn't seem to be your intended direction, which is fair. We use Apple Reminders for grocery lists and Paprika for recipes, but somet

It’s good to have some known invalid identifiers. They are times where you want to use one that can’t possibly be valid. Having them be easily memorable and obviously invalid is good too. Imagine if example.com was freely available for anyo

Same thing happened to me, a fake Feynman video that seemed really off after only a few seconds. The more AI shit I see, the more I find myself agreeing with the Luddites and the Amish.

No. Private insurance could still be an option.

This just highlights the absurdity of having your employer responsible for your health insurance and managing your taxes for you. These should be handled by the government, equally for all.

Vibe coders aren’t interested in mastering a programming language, or even interested in programming. How can you master something you’re not even doing?

Even I don’t “know” how many “R”s there are in “strawberry”. I don’t keep that information in my brain. What I do keep is the spelling of the word “strawberry” and the skill of being able to count so that I can derive the answer to that que

> manufacturers are going to sell them to "resale" companies in countries with little respect for the rule of law, mostly in Africa or Asia. Those companies will then destroy those clothes, reporting them as sold to consumers.

Which brings us neatly to why many people are opposed to “AI” and automation. We’re automating away the pleasurable work and leaving the drudgery for humans, when it should be the other way around. Robots should be toiling while humans crea

I like to think about it this way: why do printers need me to give it more paper? Why do I need to go buy paper from the store? These at the most trivial real-world things a human can do but I can’t imagine any robot doing that for a very l

I think that’s the point, that according to audiophile “lore” higher quality materials enhance the sound, thus mud should sound bad under that assumption, but they (apparently) can’t tell the difference.

Flimsy? No. I mean they won't survive a tornado, but homes aren't usually built with surviving a direct tornado hit in mind. Sure it's not as strong as brick or concrete blocks, but it's strong enough for normal, every d

It's not really a drywall problem, but a drawback of the usual construction method. If you insulate the interior walls then noise isn't really a problem. Of course, most builders are not insulating or noise-proofing interior walls

Because your users don’t see the network code or the GUI framework. But to your users, the visual identity is the identity of the game. Do you really want to outsource that to AI?
