I have two of these individuals on my team — who had to leave due to the harsh rules around the H-1B visa. During the Trump administration the backlog for processing these was molasses and I picked up two very talented individuals who have

It's AMAZING to me Microsoft is framing this as a UX improvement, when it's going against explicit user choice... which is one of the tenants of good UX? The Windows Start menu is already so broken though.

Taking away the INSPECT tab and then charging me $25 per seat to use its replacement is insane to me. I love the integrated feel of having these things in Figma, but these paywall barriers are becoming a big adoption issue for my design and

While I don't agree with Yudkowsky's over hyping of the tech as well. This stance of slowing down its proliferation in infrastructure matters is also very limiting. In the case of U Michigan and Flint's water infrastructure p

The search bar just magically showing up in my version of Windows 11 was annoying enough. I haven't actually ever clicked on it. But to know clicking on it would bring me the type of news that attacks my peace of mind is just too far.

Holy sh*t. Even though it didn't work — damn that's neat.

True, but it does sound like how they learned to say "thank you" in high school, and how regional dialects can influence the change of language.

The study is saying carbs or bread have an adverse influence on health. But that's false. It's creating anxiety about a loaf of bread that is patently idiotic. Eat a reasonable amount of bread and your body is fine. The human body

I went for a jog at my condo's gym the other day and the news was on. During my 30m session I learned about 3 violent crimes around the city. 2 car collisions. And a bunch of political turmoil etc. I thought to myself: Why do I need to

This is how it was before you WFH, so the argument was that cost is assumed anyway. This little WFH break was just some bonus money you free'd up. I don't agree with WFO mandates — they're dumb. WFH or bust.

"Why did innovation and creativity stop" because ideas are remixed is like saying when do the flowers stop blooming because the sun exists. The sun is an integral piece of why flowers grow . Read How to Ride a Bicycle. Human crea

Your initial assertion that Swiss is neutral to make money is not accurate. Historically it was to prevent casualties in wars between France and... whoever else. This has enabled it to be the bank of anyone trying to escape prying eyes - bu

God I really hate these "war on x food" articles. CARBS MUST DIE. SUGAR MUST DIE. FAT MUST DIE. Well no, most adult bodies are pretty good at dealing with most of those. Bread is fine much like most other foods. If you eat 2500 ca

I am! But I feel like I'm already apart of 20 gazillion game dev discords and streams. Focus is a real drain doing solo game dev (using Unity to make a 2.5d platforming survival game). Good luck to you and your crew!

Ya. It's safe to assume if someone is opting to add a website to their homescreen they are interested in it; notifications may make sense. Random websites asking me to enable desktop notifications are annoying. This prevents that for m

I use ChatGPT to help me with creative writing and brainstorming. It's great at it. Gets me from n-1 on a blank page. I don't think I'd ever trust this type of transformer to summarize or synthesize NEW information from an ex

Cross browser compatibility is already such a slog. This is going to make that much worse. Maybe that's OK given WebKit's firm grip on things. I've been using Arc browser since December and it's... strange? But good. Lot

People without great memory deal with this all the time: write more shit down. The amount of pseudo coding I have to do these days would embarrass my 20 year old self. Whiteboards and notepads are your friend. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ p.s. thank you

I'd like to know more about how MSFT qualifies for the moniker "they're the greatest enemy of free and open source software". From my understanding they've invested in many open web resources previously (like jQuery

The idea of someone's likeness being broadcast on some kind of screen has been in sci-fi for a long time. More like facetime - but still. The idea is not new. And people wanted it.

Of course the maker of a platform used by the majority of high-value users would have power. That in itself isn't a damning fact. Nor is the narrative that Apple wanted to expand its services revenue. FB and Shopify want to grow their

Seems fine? I don't see the need here for additional litigation. We all mostly hate war. US Military isn't going away, nor are Russia or China as global power brokers. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Getting upset over this is akin to yelling at X

It's better to have a DB of the relative size of people's homes than not. You could map it against a DB of their shopping habits. As someone who lives in a condo I can tell you too many furniture manufacturers design their furnitu

This is a mischaracterization of even the words you've quoted. The team did indeed find that flu vaccines reduced the risk of Alzheimers. But he specifically doesn't say they know why the flu vaccine lowers the risk . Ie. They ca
