That speaks more negatively to that tired SV motto than it speaks positively to the leaded gasoline guy.

There is no fucking way I'm stepping onto a commercial airliner without highly trained human beings at the helm. That is my SWE/"stemlord" take-- complex software systems, or at least the organizations that produce them,

I liked the magazine-oriented things they did like the fashion do's and don'ts, the music reviews, the johnny ryan comic segments and the richard kern features. Their physical issues were pretty high quality for something that you

"Content creators" (assuming by that you mean those who are trying to make a living off the platform) are mostly irrelevant. Youtube's main source of revenue is ads which they serve regardless of whether the uploader is takin

Sidenote: how does substack get my email address? I don't have an account with this site but they autofilled the "subscribe" field with my email address.

This article frames the situation as if Quora once took off, and was once good, which I very much disagree with. Quora never "took off" by way of being good/helpful. It was all just forced SEO. Quora was dead on arrival to me

Seems like Apple is well capable of enabling secure messaging to and from outside the Apple-ecosystem and are using security as a red herring, in that case.

I don't understand why people are using Spotify to get data instead of Discogs?

by stemlord 3y ago
It should be Discogs. Discogs is by far the largest publicly-accessible music database on the web.

Obsidian is too clunky for a daily driver text editor. Compare to Sublime. Obsidian also sometimes breaks. Last week it gave me a fully white window, I couldn't use it at all despite a reinstall. It should be ported to a C lang or simi

Twitter would be the party mailing the letter to Nitter, and Nitter is mailing it to the end user. Nitter is responsible for mailing it to the end user. It doesn't matter that they originally got it from Twitter or aliens from Uranus.

Is there a way to mute the speaker while the translation audio is playing? I'm hearing both voices simultaneously, is that intended?

by stemlord 3y ago
Yeah crossovers are pointless. I had to sit in the back row of a crossover where every seat was full and ended up having the driver pull over due to claustrophobia. My head was against the ceiling and I could barely move. I'm 6' t

FWIW being involved in a commercial airliner accident is an order of magnitude more terrifying a prospect than getting in a car accident. If there's a one in a million chance that multiple of my worst nightmares could be realized-- plu

I like the magnetically attachable kb idea A LOT. Could also attach to the back of the phone when not in use to not live as a separate part. Seems like it'd be a pain in the ass to spend multiple seconds mounting the kb every time you
