   I can't confirm this but I _may_ have had COVID Jan 2020, and ever since then I get waves of coughs / other symptoms every couple weeks or so that last for at least a week; it never goes away. Never had anything like this before t

   Meanwhile I constantly get ads for restaurants and other businesses almost everywhere but the state I live in (California). I routinely get ads for Boston, NY, Japan, Taiwan, Germany. I've been to NY and Japan but none of the other pla

   Depending on the app, do you really expect companies to devote X resources (maybe even a full, separate iOS team) specifically to maintain a version of an app for older devices? Maybe that's feasible for the larger tech companies but n

   You should visit Daly City; Skyline (35) still gets shrouded in fog fairly often.

   Thanks. That's what I'm leaning toward, especially since it'd help with the iterative cycle anyway.

   I haven't gotten to try it for myself, but I've read a few of these blogs that take you through generating examples or even look-alikes to older art pieces. It surprisingly reminds me a lot of when I traveled to Japan without know

   Same here. Have had to use UIViewRepresentable a few times to make use of UIKit features that SwiftUI doesn't support. Specifically, MapKit is incredibly barebones in SwiftUI, so I couldn't use it at all. Had to use an MKMapView t

    This is a pretty creative idea! My complex has had multiple small families of new kittens lately and I know at least one neighbor has had trouble finding the kittens since the other isn't always with them.

    I think you took nothing from my point. The way you describe it, I would think your "route" is just one long stretch on a single street. In almost every normal case, I may not know there's an accident at one intersection unti

    Eh. About 10 years ago I had one of the older white iMacs, I think like a 2008 model or thereabouts. After owning it around 5 years and no longer being under warranty, it had some motherboard problem I brought it in for anyway. The Apple St

    I've lived and worked in San Francisco and downtown San Jose, been to NYC many times, etc. I felt the safest in Tokyo at 11PM than any of those other places. The only places I felt a bit uncomfortable at night were super touristy areas

    Not only just apply, but definitely try to network with people on the team. Works well if they're active on twitter. I got my first internship by building a rapport with someone on twitter and then they worked with their org to find an

    I wouldn't mind if elevator music was specially-made similarly to how Japanese train stations have (mostly) their own special chimes. Obviously not every single elevator should have its own chime, but maybe regional or some other disti

    I've had kind of similar things before with DoorDash or UberEats. They'll show I have a discount or some amount off ($5 usually), and then only once I'm ready to actually submit my order the full fine print shows up that I ne

    Alternatively, I just have weechat in a tmux on a super cheap digitalocean instance. Easy to SSH and attach to the tmux session as needed, although I've been meaning for years to use Mosh instead of SSH for easier connectivity.

    Then maybe just allow employees to take the week off during a time that's relevant for them. But regardless, with this move everyone loses regardless of when they would enjoy the week off.

    I actively participate in a forum for a certain car model. However, as that particular model has aged the forum has gotten a lot less active. Unfortunate since there is a significant wealth of resources and information on various things abo

    I have no context on this kind of thing, but we have oil pipelines, is there a reason we can't use water pipelines from areas with drastically more rainfall and just transport said water to scarcer areas?

    My usual movie theater recently had a high school age kid staffing the ticket booth when you walk in and a brand new sign saying "no outside food or drinks." I used to just carry by hand a water bottle and some snacks or put it in

    I joined a new team about two years back. They were very reliant on runbooks for operational things. Problem was, at least half of them were out of date. Need to access logs on a machine when they aren't being sent someplace like {Data

    The number of times I see Teslas suddenly swerve partially into the next lane or stomp the brakes for no reason on the freeway with nobody around them is ridiculous. To top things off, one time I saw this happening on 280 in the Bay Area an

    I think it depends on what you're trying to build. I was working on a 'toy app' earlier this year. I needed to use MapKit, but the SwiftUI MapKit is pretty simple, features-wise. So I had to do the more complicated (relativel
