I saw research some years ago that estimated that around 25% of drivers are bought in Los Angeles are intoxicated. Additionally, “pervasive use” is not a measurement of damage.

On iOS, if your device is connected to the car’s Bluetooth, then you can’t use the device unless you’re using it hands-free (despite research showing that hands-free is just as distracting as holding a phone), or unless you’ve disabled this

How long does the app stay in use? I have insta installed (for a business that I’m slacking on) and I open it about once a month for roughly 1 minute. Maybe I should just uninstall and reinstall it each time I need to use it.

And it cost Pepsi something like $400 million to implement this new logo.

Ah gotcha. That makes total sense. I last like ten seconds each time I try to use the trackpad, probably because of lack of buttons. I probably need to replace my t440s soon because the ram/processor is problematic for my usage (gdal a

I might be the only one that likes this t440s style trackpad. I have no desire to mod it. I love that you physically click it. Coming from a macbook, I was at first baffled that apparently you can’t rest your thumb on it while moving the cu

Our 3.5 YO doesn’t really have any device time (though she likes playing with a calculator, and typing on an neo alphasmart), and she absolutely loves reading. But we recently introduced nature documentaries (blue planet, planet earth). And

I wish Redlands was a little closer to LA! Seems like a cool place to work. I couldn’t believe when the owner bought/preserved Bixby Ranch (on behalf of the nature conservancy). I was a daily ESRI user for years, but my heart leans tow

I saw an old dude apparently asleep behind the wheel of a tesla while on the freeway. I immediately feared for my family members’s lives, and I had to speed in order to gain distance from this fellow.

Has Tesla ever said anything like: the “auto” in this case means “automobile” and not “automatic”? But yeah, they shouldn’t call it that.

Don’t windows that open give you LEED points? Why would open windows cost you green cred?

Well said. But you could also state your final sentence as “… would do the job that police are supposed to do but aren’t…” I see what you’re getting at, though. Another related area where we could reduce their use is ticketing for vehicle w

We self-host OpenMapTiles, but are super lazy about replacing them with updated tiles (and we don’t love the watermark). I’m really glad that there are options for generating them ourselves! Starred, and will give it a try soon.

I have JS turned on on my phone, yet this website did not render. I am using content blockers, yet there are no trackers on this site so I’m not sure what exactly is being blocked!

The company I work for has 60k employees. I think during the pandemic - which started before I joined - we let go of a ton of office managers and the in-house IT team. So now there is one office manager for each local office, and she had n

Wonder if it’s the same folks who hit voip.ms last week. That one lasted a while.

Ya know, I never thought of it before now, but you’re right. I just want to read an email that I’ve already received!

Me too. I came from posteo. The fastmail app is pretty great. This is the first downtime I’ve noticed in the last four years.

So far it completely depends on the person. But you’re right that it might not be the best technique. I understand the hesitancy to ask questions after a certain amount of time has passed. I work as a consultant and our time has to be bille

I usually say, "please ask stupid questions, because if you don't then you'll run off in the wrong direction and work on the wrong thing for a week before the next review, and you'll have wasted a lot of project budget.&

G*d forbid anyone ever stop scrolling. I was browsing airbnb the other day, looking at places in a small area (maybe 25 rentals) and was shocked/alarmed/saddened to discover that the app has infinite scrolling. Rather than the lis

From the headline alone, my initial assumption was that it was about a google-hosted website and the content was actually deleted. Then I read the article…

I frequent the bandcamp daily blog, and I follow a few people on bandcamp who tend to actively buy music I’m interested in (I just go through the users who have bought an album I like, then I look at their other purchases). On top of that b

Could this be an issue of that sentence you quoted being really difficult to comprehend? So they attempted to rewrite it and got it wrong? I’ve read it 10x and am still baffled. It’s the “voter turnout reduction of ID laws” part that I don’

I’m not sure I 100% follow. By “undocumented” I mean that their license has been revoked (and thus they have no insurance), or they never got one. They lack the document to legally drive. > If you require it, then you should enforce it,

Thanks. I think I’m just not at a programming level where my brain is working faster than my fingers. But I get it. I can relate in the following case: I like to write fiction, and lately I have been writing children’s stories that I’ve tol

Only brief glimpses. And I have no doubt it’s amazing in capable hands. My interest in learning vim is likely solely rooted in some vague jealousy of these skills. I keep having to remind myself to be happy with what I have and stop spendin

Re vim: As a hobby developer (a perpetual newbie) the learning curve is an issue for me simply because I don’t yet understand the value in overcoming the curve. “Efficiency” is not one of my programming goals, and so reasons like “vim is gr

I can see value in not consistently talking about “btw killing someone with your car is basically a get out of jail card”. Most people probably don’t realize this. (Or am I misunderstanding your last sentence?)
