All my wife’s Steam games (mostly solitaire type games and search-based narrative games) are 32-bit only, and so was her copy of Scrivener. Every Mac-capable Steam game I have that I checked doesn’t work, either. So yeah, we did. Luckily I

Shit it takes me about four hours just to get a few basic services set up & configured for a new business idea, before any kind of product work can start. Could throw up an experiment without doing that but it wouldn't really be

This or (especially) 3x8 is what I've thought is about the "right" amount of work to count as full-time when you're selling your labor, for some time now. It's past the tipping point where your employer stops domina

That goes for passing, trivial questions, too. One pops in your head now, you itch until you answer it, because you can answer it. Pre-ubiquitous-web, fewer such thoughts reached the level of conscious awareness and they were rarely act

Ah, that the companies in SV are less forward thinking than the population of, specifically, SV. That could be.

I've heard it applied to a totally normal conversational level of volume, but with a serious edge/tone to it.

> Very different from the general population, not forward thinking. IDK about SV tech companies, but I don't think it's accurate to characterize the general population as "forward thinking" on those issues.

High-level parenting guideline: never do anything you don't want to have to keep doing basically forever. Like giving your kids snacks or a phone or whatever when you're out, to keep them quiet. Now you have to give them a phone

My parents and one remaining grandparent have cable TV—mostly news channels—on about 16 hours a day in their house. TV's always on in whichever room one of them's in. The one of them who gets out of the house more than a single-di

Counterpoint: comment was fine and non-toxic, describing siloing as weak no matter who's doing it is an accurate and a pretty tame criticism, and ensuring that's not happening is indeed the only real point of scheduled daily stand

Ah. Yeah, thick-enough cast iron might do it. Doesn't break fast enough. [EDIT] I mean I guess I hadn't counted on the bins so strongly resembling actual bomb casings . Heh. Yeesh, that sucks. [EDIT EDIT] doesn't break fast

In the current environment one can get away with a lot of push-back because managers with any fraction of a clue know if they piss you off too much you'll be giving them your notice, new job in hand, in a few weeks, if not days. That w

Khan Academy has some lessons aimed at fairly young kids—counting, spotting gaps in counting, talking that simple. I tried to sit with my son on the Khan Academy iPad app a few weeks ago to do some with him, thinking it'd be great. Unf

The first thing I do when teaching someone Redux is tell them that Action just means Event, and "action creator" just means an event dispatcher, which is to say, any function that dispatches an event. Naming the least-active part

There were like 100 major-publisher books that clearly modeled their title, if nothing else, on Gone Girl in the years after it came out. Didn't see that with 50 Shades. Both got a movie. Gone Girl seemed to have wider and more lasting

Ah, yeah, looking into it more it seems the "barefoot" fit is really important to some folks. That explains what I was missing.

Laborers can't collectivize as soon as capital can't collectivize (incorporate). I'm on board this train, let's do it. Ban collective action in the economy, especially that supported and enabled by the government. In all

Corporations are capitalists performing collective action. Our governments not only allow this, but provide special provisions in the law to support and encourage it. We can get rid of collective action for workers when we get rid of it for

I see the general principle guiding this and agree with it, but "free" food from an employer is just another form of comp and complaining about it's no more ungrateful than complaining about health benefits or salary. It&#x27

Cool then we can stop providing structures that make the demand side of labor much stronger at the negotiating table than the supply side. I'm in, let's do it.

by shantly 7y ago
Sure, then we can keep corporations around as long as we balance their government-enabled incredible labor rate negotiating position with something comparably effective for workers.
