This stuff needs to be regulated sooner rather than later.

For me it's just search. It remembers none of my habits and assumes I want whatever is trending/popular in the autocomplete. I search up quite a few artists that produce no autocomplete results, even though they exist. I have arti

From age 12 to 17, I was a super prolific "poet." I had four binders full of looseleaf pages of all kinds of writing. I had also kept every note that my girlfriends had given to me during that time. Around age 22, I found them in

The employee needs to be taught that. If they've entered the workforce without that knowledge, then it's their manager's responsibility.

Just FYI, the creator of Overcast is a notorious anti-advertising and pro-privacy curmudgeon, and he even wrote Skeptic's FAQ for people put off by the account thing: https://overcast.fm/skeptics_faq It's very muc

I moved from a cheap Toyota Yaris to an expensive Subaru Legacy. Not only do I have a touchscreen radio, but the climate control section is a large array of buttons, with the exception changing the temperature with a knob. Every single fuck

My only experience with the Clip+ was as a runner, but I switched away from my phone because I was terrified of breaking it. But the downsides of the Clip+ drove me back to my phone and a good, hard case for it. - had to hook it up to my Wi

Your assertion of "slacktivism" seems in contradiction to the fact that more Americans are marching in the streets for various reasons in the last 10 years than in the preceding years of my life.

That's not the point. Running in the JVM is the most performant way to access Android's APIs. That's "native".

When you say "offline first" do you just mean "local db"? You'd rather use GQL over SQL or some other query lang?

If Vulkan is the future, I wonder how mobile devs will make money if they can't target iOS.

I knew exactly what the song was the moment I read the title. It's nice that there's a ton of additional context in this article that we didn't get when it popped up on reddit 8 years ago. Although I wonder if we'll get

You probably also survived an era without baby monitors. Doesn't mean life isn't unconditionally better with them.

Wow, all these hypotheticals. It's almost as if... not having a phone with you is worse than having it with you.

Hell yeah, there's a nerve to hit. My first thought isn't about the shitty parent or my own choices, it's about the kid who's a secondary character, or whose mere existence appears to be exclusively a cause of grief for

Have you spent any time living/driving in places like Houston or Atlanta or the suburbs of Chicago or Los Angeles? How about the bay area outside of SF? Because if you have, I can't imagine how you'd think it's a solvabl

For me it was effort required. I was an early reader, and the first few years of elementary were a breeze, but at some point I decided if I had to work at anything, I didn't want to do it. If I couldn't immediately answer the ques

I was that kid, and my parents and entire family were constantly telling me how smart I was. They were never verbally abusive.

Not sure how this is relevant, "legacy" bands like Guns N Roses and ACDC headlined the previous 2 years and those bands have audiences that are shrinking to due to old age.

Radiohead was a really popular band. Radiohead hasn't had a Top 40 single in more than 10 years. 15 years? Their album sales from the last 10 years aren't comparable to the current selling giants. Their streaming numbers aren&#x

I have an aggressively atheist friend who tried AA but was unable to deal with the religious stuff. Thankfully, he's a really persistent guy and worked out a pattern/habit that keeps him sober, but it makes me feel bad for others

While it's definitely bad that Apple stopped supporting PowerPC Macs just 3 years after they sold the last machines, expecting any support at all 10 years later is ridiculous. What ties people to PowerPC these days? Surely the speed an

I've been a developer for a long time. I understand bugs happen, even bugs with terrible consequences. A lot of bugs seem understandable, like I can see the chain of ifs/thens required to end up at some hilarious broken state. But

This takes a strange detour towards the end. > Even more disturbing is a rise in a mean-spirited resistance to any kind of honors for Confederate soldiers. Seems a bit contradictory to insist that we honor immoral people for the sake of.

It's probably naive to even think that they'll pull back on the shoes/belt bullshit. I fully expect to have to scan my face AND remove my shoes and belt. The TSA doesn't give a fuck, and no one holds them accountable for

I commented above about this: remove the Logitech dongle from your USB3 hub and plug it directly into your machine. That was the only way I could "fix" it.
