I don't know about Braintree, but I did recently have a frontline customer support email to a consumer product company answered (incorrectly) by an LLM. I know that it was an LLM because it said that it was in a footer below the respon

My solution to the Apple Watch charging problem is to start charging it as the first step of my bedtime routine, and put it back on my wrist as the last step. This works because it takes about 45 minutes to charge.

+1. I gave them a try during the pandemic and it led to some knee pain. Thankfully I switched back before causing serious damage. I’m sure that they work well for some people but they can also hurt.

Yeah, I think it’s best to keep them on the installed Ubuntu LTS and not upgrade, if you want the seamless OEM experience. Granted, I’ve still had some random issues with mine, even on the stock version. (The wifi card is glitchy and I have

You really just have to compile all of your dependencies yourself (or use pre-compiled distro packages and compile your code with the distro toolchain). Of course, compiling everything yourself is the only way to get LTO to work well, and y

I think that it is generally not reasonable to convert existing large projects to be multithreaded, in the same way that it is generally not reasonable to fully rewrite existing large projects from scratch. The alternative that I have seen

Agreed. I’m only familiar with Texas and Texas schools are funded with property tax with some redistribution to poorer districts. I think a local income tax is the correct way to handle it theoretically but I don’t know any specific example

Surely more housing also means more working adults and more taxable income, so this could be handled with a local income tax.

If you have black triangles from gum recession, then I highly recommend TePe interdental brushes (or some other brand). Neither a toothbrush nor floss is going to clear those areas effectively, and I noticed an immediate improvement in my g

Do you have any information on how you did that? I am curious. I used to read the Wikipedia current events portal to get a relatively unfiltered stream of world news: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal:Current_event

It’s been awhile and I don’t remember why I had to reboot, but it did happen. I guess past me did a lot of work in cafes, office hours, and common areas. I do remember that running a certain R program consistently caused the Chromebook to t

I used a Chromebook as my main laptop for a year in college, and I always had to apologize to nearby strangers for the beep. (CS major, coding happened mostly over SSH to the school servers, but I did run RStudio locally)

I really like better_enums instead of magic_enums. There’s no limit on enum size with it: http://aantron.github.io/better-enums/ It was heavily used at a former employer of mine, so definitely a solid production-ready

I’m theoretically a good candidate for the favorite timers, because I almost always choose one of 15 seconds, 3 minutes, 5 minutes, 25 minutes, 40 minutes, or 1 hour. Of course, the issue is that those are six different times, the LRU cache

I didn’t see the original comment before it was flagged, but I think I agree with you. My experience with urban cycling in NYC is also that people are routinely awful to each other. It does seem to be much worse for my girlfriend, when she

I use it on occasion. Invoking it with rlwrap makes it a little nicer by giving it readline support. I think there is a lot of low-hanging fruit for someone to make an IPython-inspired repl around it.

As a human, I would like to be able to treat user interfaces as predictable, physical objects. Unfortunately programs are built out of math and so I can’t usually do this. Apple iOS actually does do a pretty good job of it, and that is a hu
