Okay, what is it with Swedes min-maxing their way to the top of pop music? How do they do it? Even Pewdiepie is like another case of chasing algorithmic success.

He mentions Substack, which is maybe the most egregious example of bloat I regularly encounter. Like I cannot open Scott Alexander's blog on my phone because it comes to a crawl. But the Substack devs are aware of this . [They know it

>Does anyone believe that Epstein killed himself? Yes, I do. Like you, I found the circumstances of Epstein's death incredibly suspicious and thought it was a murder. But the more information that has come out, the more it looks lik

A funny example of this I came across recently. There's a video game called Sonic Chronicles--just before it was completed, the developers were prevented from using the soundtrack they had made and were forced to recompose new songs fo

If Tan's enemies had quoted Tupac's death-wish songs with his name in it, would Tan not have pointed to it as evidence of their vitriol and toxicity?

Not a bug. Ostensibly, Musk wants to fit more tweets on a page, but that could be accomplished by putting the title on the image. Really, he just wants people to stay on Twitter and ignore external links.

I only discovered Powershell recently, and it's impressed me how "batteries-included" it is. Like, I can access the GitHub API, download the latest release of a program, and decompress it, with progress indicators shown throu

Some bizarre UI decisions. Why are the extra options hidden behind the +2? Why does the selector obscure the face? Why are the previews for features so tiny as to be useless? Otherwise, nice.

Was Musk always this mercurial or was he more competent at his previous companies? I still have trouble understanding how this man created something as good as SpaceX despite displaying no obvious indications of genius, and every sign of me

The affection precedes the Second World War. Victor Gollancz, a notable left-wing publisher at the time, wrote this mea culpae in 1939, after the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact led to his disillusionment with the Soviet cause. >Looking back, I

It's a cool extension for what it does, but it doesn't seem to bypass rate limits for me. I'm currently rate-limited (again) and tweets won't load even with this extension.

Seriously, what is with Silicon Valley people turning into insane cranks over the past year? Is there a ketamine fad causing brain damage among them?
