These are the two that I came to post. James is just getting started on a whole new cabin (he's moving) so I'm pretty excited to see him apply the leassons he's learned.

Lost Art Press is worth a follow in general. If you’re ever near Cincinnati, I highly recommend checking out their store front. They focus on keeping traditional woodworking books in print, but they also do a lot of woodworking (chair makin

Apple TV+ is not the best streaming service, but it does have a decent value proposition, especially as part of a bundle of Apple services. It has enough quality shows and movies to warrant a couple of months of subscription. I think it wil

Except that the author then goes on to outline a portfolio and recommends it. It’s also terrible advice (~30% in crypto and self-picked stocks).

I read most of this article and this person is young and single. Even given that, there is some astoundingly bad advice in here (eg, the “I recommend 30% in crypto + individual stocks”). I think a better analysis would be to compare their p

Lexmark (the printer company, also an offshoot of IBM) bought the Model M design from IBM and continued production until 1996. Unicomp, another company in Lexington bought the rights from Lexmark and has been making them ever since.

I don’t do iOS development anymore, but I did cs193p almost a decade ago, when it was on iTunesU and taught by Paul Hegarty. It unlocked a lot of job opportunities for me, and I’m still grateful to this day.

You’re getting a lot of answers that aren’t outright wrong, but don’t really answer your question of “Why is Apple successful where other companies aren’t.” Or phrased another way, “Why does Apple repeatedly innovate new product categories

My experience with Reddit is that topical subreddits are information-starved because the nature of Reddit is to reward picture posts instead of discussion or information. I’ve seen several subreddits devolve into endless treadmills of “Look

Chris defines it in the interview, I think, but I think of it as: Swift is a complex language with lots of features, but if you are trying to do something simple, you do not need to engage with the more complex features of the language. As

At Apple’s scale, a decision like that has really big implications that from a single-user perspective aren’t that obvious. Not only do you bifurcate your entire product line and supply chain, your customers are not just individuals, but fa

Apple opened up HomePod to third party services this summer, through an official SDK. A lot of people are jumping to conclusions based on the lack of a screenshot. Spotify has been pretty slow to pick up new features (iOS widgets, watchOS a

Pretty interesting story about Aurochs: apparently two brothers in Germany both ran programs to "back breed" the Auroch in the 1920s. One brother, Lutz Heck, eventually became a Nazi and his program became an official Nazi program
