There is some good health advice mixed in with the rest of the MAHA lunacy, particularly around diet and exercise. Unfortunately their stances on vaccines, supplements, and mental health make are still awful

The breadsticks are also dairy free! Shocking but amazing for my poor lactase free stomach

Boot speed is nice and all but in general I boot once and I'm done!

I am using Claude code to manage my obsidian vault. It is easier because my notes generally break down over time as I’m less motivated to organize new ideas. I use voice to text in the terminal to say things like “add this task to this proj

I feel like this isn't really a new or novel thing? Storing cash in a bank has risks, storing crypto in any sort of method also has risks, right? Sadly for those in unstable countries there are lots more risks in life, including financ

Meta tried to create their own VR and AR specific os, but that project ended up being cancelled. John Carmack was against the idea for a while when he was there. Turns out modifying android was a much better starting point!

If stock buybacks cause the price to go up like it should in theory, that's less of a tax hit than dividends! I'll take it

To people saying that "your boss can open it" being an benefit of csv, well I have a funny story! Back in the early 2000s I designed and built a custom data collector for a air force project. It saved data at 100 Hz on an SD card.

It’s a pretty easy question! I always categorize my answer in a few parts - why am I excited about the product (helps people! Makes the world a better place!), the technology (I like how it is a combo of hardware and software!), and specifi

These grifters take something that sounds bad but out of context, make way too big a deal about it, then turn around and sell you supplements to fix the problems. I have no idea why anyone trusts them but it seems to work

Shamelessness works great with our attention economy. Say some real divisive stuff, get eyeballs, monetize.

At least watching videos of loading planes on YouTube, it is pretty clear why! It is one tiny cramped tunnel and a whole lot of suitcases.

I suppose out of context it seems out of nowhere, but if you follow some of these influencers they act like it is literally impossible for anything bad to happen with guns around. I enjoy shooting myself (don't really do it frequently

At least while I was at NASA, a high impact score (ie death) would still elevate total risk even if the likelihood was low.

So much for the "guns don't shoot themselves!!" argument you occasionally hear from gun nuts. Yes they can and do shoot themselves!

I need to add a "no glazing" to any AI prompt. Cursor is especially bad at this too!

I think robotics might be the next frontier of AI. I would not be surprised to see AI used at least at the low level for motor planning type activities like digging with a shovel...

There are certainly tradeoffs, but I find that in general shorter line lengths are better. - easy to lay out multiple splits side by side. Over 100 tends to have issues. - long variable names or function names tend to be a code smell. Same

Yeah companies generally won't provide feedback, there is no benefit to them and many times candidates will just argue about it anyways. For better feedback there are some good mock interview companies out there, or you can ask a frien

I don't mean to be harsh, but as an engineer you owe it to yourself to try and get better at interviewing. Does it suck? Yeah absolutely. Is it an annoying process? Definitely. But even if you have an easy and stable job things ca

I'm not sure.. without the borrow checker you could have a pretty nice language that is like a "pro" version of golang, with better typing, concise error handling syntax, and sum types. If you only use things like String and

Ha good luck with that! I found that there is even more politics at non tech companies. Different clowns, same circus as they say :)

I wonder if it would show up in periodic permissions scans done by android. Hopefully! But as the TechCrunch author stated, oftentimes alerting the stalker can be dangerous for the victim.

Catholicism is certainly interesting! It is somewhat similar from my experience. On one hand it was fairly conservative: super against abortion, and old fashioned family values (ie moms should stay home). On the other, there was a huge focu

The Rust book is a great place to start. Free and pretty short! After that I’d get a project focused book like zero to production rust, or command line rust. Lastly I recommend reading Programming Rust. It is long but extremely thorough! Yo
