As someone who's immigrated into the United States around 2010s, I have experienced a life in Central Texas that was much better than it was expensive before COVID, and much more expensive than it's good after COVID.

Do not buy one. You will regret it. Without backlight, it's a gimmick.

It’s a wonderful device and I own one but lack of screen backlight makes it practically unusable, and at its price point almost vulgarly expensive. God knows how much I wanted to use and love it but it just started gathering dust in a close

Isn’t this true for Netflix as well?

Interesting, I wonder if it would be possible to visualize the most dramatic parts of every flight -- takeoffs and landings.

Such delightful UI. One small thought: as I scroll down on a particular airport page, it would be useful for that page to always display the airport's name in a fixed position. I've opened up a few airports and scrolled down to lo

> Is it common now to have solo operators running control towers? At Class D airports it’s always been the norm. But KLGA is Class B.

Important follow-up to my comment: as fewer people do X -- live music, medicine, education, you name it -- fewer talented people do it as well. Fields need a large base of participants to produce great ones. This is exactly why software has

I wonder if there's an AGENTS.md in that project saying "always second-guess my responses", or something of that sort. The world has become so complex, I find myself struggling with trust more than ever.

The supply/demand picture here is more complicated than it looks. If AI displaces human educators, yes, their supply shrinks -- but we can't assume what direction its demand will go. We've seen this pattern before: as recorde

As a /former/ EM at an almost-household-name-tech-company, I can explain. First of all, unless you're at a tiny startup (where quality of engineering isn't even on the horizon), you don't really get promoted by your

The number of tech companies matters less than their scale. SAP, Spotify, and Dassault Systèmes likely have more economic impact than ten thousand tiny software shops combined. And notably, all three derive a huge portion of their revenue f

How would this work? Wouldn't a reciprocal tariff with identical parameters by the US against EU tech companies completely obliterate EU tech landscape?

Man I suffer from this recently. Everything I read feels AI written but because it’s just a guess I get into this loop of questioning myself and then the whole read is ruined for me. I hate it so much.

An important thing that this joke misses is that both economists now also owe federal income tax and social security tax.

I think Google PMs would respond by saying that nobody in 2007 was like "Man, if only I could get rid of the physical keyboard on my smartphone". You know, the whole "faster horse" argument.

https://sdf.lonestar.org has been around since 1987. They have a one-time lifetime membership fee of $36. I feel like I would trust them more than probably anyone else for hosting a static website for a 100 years.

Funny because seven years ago Tom Cruise did a PSA about this exact same thing for Mission Impossible [1], during which he said “filmmakers are working with manufacturers to solve this issue”. I guess seven years later it’s still not solved
