Small nitpick: on your user testimonials, you list reddit users as r/<username> when the correct way to do it is u/<username>.

This seems fine for short-term rentals, which is the target audience. I don’t think that I would personally mind it if this were installed at an airbnb that I was staying at.

+1 for Acquired. They started out covering tech acquisitions but have branched out to covering non-tech companies with interesting stories. I particularly liked their episode on IKEA.

With video I think that it’s sometimes a licensing thing. As in, the streaming service licenses subtitles from a third party and the rights are limited to specific countries.

Is dreidel typically played to completion? I always kinda assumed that play would stop at a point where the chocolate coins were unevenly distributed but all players were still in the game, because it seems unsatisfying to give chocolate to

Oh wow, I didn’t realize that aquafaba was only discovered in 2014. I always assumed that it was much older.

Have you reached out to coffee influencers with review copies? That might be worth doing; it seems like this is the kind of thing that they would like to cover, and if the feedback is positive than that could drive a lot of sales.

Slightly off-topic: Are there any Americans here are able to follow along and guess the answers when watching Only Connect? Genuinely curious. I’m usually pretty good at quiz competitions, but the few times I’ve watched Only Connect I haven

This article is weirdly focused on the version of C++ that each engine supports. It argues that e.g. std::variant is important for Unity’s DOTS ECS system. And that std::optional is an optimization for rendering configurations. I mean, mayb

(CW: pedantry) Well actually, “speed up” is a phrasal verb that is semantically distinct from “speed”. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_phrasal_verbs But that all’s irrelevant because this article uses verb defi

For C++, there are exactly four independent frontends in wide use (gcc, clang, msvc, edg) and three independent stdlibs (libstdc++, libc++, STL). I’m not sure how many independent compiler backends are widely used with those frontends and s

The food in different places is truly different, in surprising ways. It really is worth it to travel for food. I’m not sure what factors make it that way, but my experience tells me that it is true.

My definition that I came up with college was that adults had full spice racks in their kitchens. I had recently gotten into cooking and was annoyed that it didn't really make sense to buy spices that I would have to throw away at the

I’m still surprised that Hyundai and Kia have continued to have great sales after the “Kia Boys” car theft debacle. I expected that to really hurt them in a lasting way, because it showed that they were willing to cut costs excessively.

I've shared this on here before, but another trick that I like with breakpoint() is to add this function to my Python projects so that I can drop into pdb by sending a signal: import signal def sigusr1_handler(signum, stack

The main issue that I have with self-help and pop-business books is that they are always way too long. They are forced to be because "books" are expected to be a certain length. There's always one or two good ideas that you g

Good post. Saved to cite the next time that someone in code review asks me to breakup a large function that is a series of linear steps that won’t be reused.

Hangul is great for computer-entry, but the data representation is a little tricky, because syllables are treated as a single glyph and there are many syllables. I found this old comment that explains it better than I can: https:/&#x2
