For me, it’s that I don’t have a monitor on hand to plug my phone into. And if I’m going to plan to bring a monitor, shit, I’ll just bring my laptop anyway.

I mean if I was interviewing with a parking garage company, I’d actually be interested because I have used parking garages and am familiar with them (severe bottlenecks after an event ends, the use of license plate scanning, the whole UX of

It’s been several years since I’ve tried but most JS engines are out of date and barely maintained and the ones used for browsers are made for browsers first and they are not built for you to integrate at all. Lua is specifically built for

The Rule of Thirds is like the rule of not starting your sentences with conjunctions (and, or, etc.) or DRY. They're rules for newbies, but eventually experience should replace rules. That doesn't mean the rules aren't wrong

I think pretty much everyone is rational. However, our access to facts and information is vastly different between two different people. That's because we grow in different spaces, meet different people, and have vastly different exper

From my understanding of political science classes, this is how the founders wrote it to be. Actually, it's supposed to be like this… Congress writes laws. Executive interprets those laws and decides ambiguities on its own. Some of tho

But isn’t that the case with everything? You can’t take anything at face value and never in history have you ever been able to. When you read a news article, you have to know about the publication before you can contextualize the article. W

Except because of prop 65, I learned that some bowls actually do have some lead in them due to their glazes or coloring… And that the label was probably correct.

Not to mention creating more homelessness, increasing crime and deteriorating our cities, strengthening Mexican drug cartels, providing business to suppliers in China. They have objectively made the world a worst place. I thought the lead g

I don’t think prop 65 is super useful but I don’t get why people think it’s meaningless. I’ve definitely seen prop 65 on things that made me pause because nothing about the object (like a food bowl) should give me cancer and often I won’t b

It’s not about how the city is built… cities are largely built the same… completely haphazardly. What older cities have, due to their age, is a metric ton more people in a smaller area because they ran out of space to expand and have to red

No problem with Google hosting it (although I’d still use sub-resource integrity) but anyone else?

I remember Google suggesting that everyone use common libraries hosted by a shared CDN and then suggesting de-ranking slow websites and I think that’s what led to widespread adoption of this pattern. The only reason I stopped using third-pa

The only reason I use .env is because it’s dead simple and very obvious as to how it works to anyone. If now someone has to read docs to figure out how to configure the app, I’d rather have them read docs for some other safer and more power

Well usually when you are analyzing some data, you toss it into the most basic chart like a histogram. And a histogram for the author's example is perfectly acceptable to show that single data series. But imagine if you have 10 diffe

I've always felt the the rebase vs. merge debate was pointless because I never have dirty internal history by the time that I'm ready to make an MR/PR. It's just that squashing takes 2 seconds. I just shift-select the co

I agree. The author simply used the wrong chart. The author's example has a bimodal distribution (TWO peaks) and chooses a type of chart that has ONE peak (a box plot). A little baffling tbh.

I honestly don't know where innovation exists that doesn't require "fighting the system" to some degree. There are a lot of bad ideas out there and the "system" is there to weed out the bad ideas. However, you

I was just in Japan in April just revisiting Kyoto and Kobe for the 3rd and 2nd time. Then before that I was in Japan in October. In the past few years I’ve been to Tokyo, Kanazawa, Awaji, Kobe, Kyoto, Osaka, Hakone, and a bunch of smaller

I've been using Photoshop for 20 years and they absolutely still add features all the time. For example, they just added a ton of AI content fill features and you could make a debate about how AI is ruining artists, but you can't

Google Takeout predates the GPDR by like 6 years. I’m no Google proponent but I hate people who spread outright wrong information that they could just double check.

I designed the 12V electrical for my F-150 camper (and some friends’) and I could easily do 2 straight days of 40W with no recharge. My fridge pulls 50W when cycling the compressor and my current 5G modem/router pulls 15W. Indoor light

It’s all about analogies. You can explain anything to anyone. Rust is safer than Python in the way same way as having a backup sensor in your car versus not. Sure, you won’t need most of the time but it may catch you that one time that you

No you’re right. I neglected to mention them because I think it goes both ways and it acts as a test. In the end, after the shock, it went back to business as usual. It’s like despite the Jan 6 riots, everything still is business as usual.

These agreements are just agreements. The dollar has been the reserve currency for a long time because (1) the US has been a big promoter of liberalization and world trade, but really most importantly, (2) despite various conflicts, the US
