You're right in that there is much less variety amongst decaf coffee options, but there are a few good single origins out there. BlendIn's Los Nogales typica is outstanding. It's the bean that convinced me to go full-decaf tw

Finally! A topic that I can directly contribute to! I quit caffeinated coffee two years ago. A roaster nearby me came out with a decaf single origin that was so good, it not only convinced me that I don't need caf'ed coffee anymor

I completely believe it. The critical paths in critical software operated by every major company or governmental entity that you deal with were written in COBOL/Fortran/Progress and run on IBM mainframes (hence why they are still

100%. Used Newegg and Tigerdirect a bunch during that period. Shipping took forever.

It's almost like having more money than you'll ever know what to do with lets you say and do what you _actually_ want to do.

Agreed; the original doc was much better and actually easier to read!

Wow; this is a horrible look for Google. Folded backwards like paper.

This is very similar to Tesla's FSD adoption in my mind. For some (me), it's amazing because I use the technology often despite its inaccuracies. Put another way, it's valuable enough to mitigate its flaws. For many others, i

They're using it, yes, but it's still heavily subsidized by VC, and it reminds to be seen whether it will remain as popular as prices percolate upwards. Either way, layoffs all the same if this "doesn't work".

I'm shocked that this isn't talked about more. The pro-AI astroturfing done everywhere (well, HN and Reddit anyway) is out of this world.

+1 to all of this. This is why I continue to use env vars and dotenv for configuration. They are extremely simple, work well, and are compatible with secrets managers and other secrets tooling. Though lately I've been veering into sOps

Unfortunately for Zelda, many social media (ab)users can't/don't read.

I mean, there are AI applications that have improved humanity without threatening to enslave it, like computational photography, automated driver assistance for autos and biomedical applications. LLM and stable diffusion though? Yep; agree.

Fake handwritten mails are still a thing and still get instantly thrown away from me. Anything I'm sent that's AI generated doesn't get read. I realize this will get more difficult as models improve, but I'm standing by

ebooks.com, kobo.com or the publisher's website.

Did the same. The Kindle app has a page-turn effect that can't be turned off, though, so I switched to KOReader. Unintuitive interface but fantastic for book reading.

ebooks.com is what I use. Their books use Adobe DRM, but that's easy to remove. I'll go to the publisher's website directly otherwise.

Precisely why I stopped buying eBooks from Amazon. DRM Kindle Unlimited books? Sure; makes sense. Books that I paid full price on? No way.

lol they're STILL doing this. As of the time this was written, if you go through the order flow for anything, at any price, the first shipping option will be "get one-day shipping FREE with Amazon Prime", wrapped in a huge CT

Amtrak is amazing, but it is horrendously slow outside of the NE corridor (due to freight priority) and routes that should exist don't (Dallas to Houston, Toronto to NYP diagonally across New York instead of via Albany). Apparently it

Day 2 of use has been similar to my 16 Pro. Mostly music and web browsing, though with lots of screen-on time due to me tracking a flight and listening to ATC.

Yes, it's much larger. The Mini feels better in the hand, for sure. The Air feels good in the hand, albeit in a different way. The Air is 2mm thinner than the Mini while being only 20g heavier (which you don't feel given that the

(comment 2/2) I got the Air to solve a very specific problem: taking up less space in my hip pack. It more than exceeded my expectations in this regard while also being _shockingly_ light. I have not been this excited about an iPhone s
