This seems really wise. I often want to start with something that looks decent, and feed my content into it, as opposed to trying to develop everything from scratch. Eventually, you should probably mention this on your website: a broad ran

My 12-year old son recently got a quest 2, and loves it. The killer feature is playing games with live audio with his friends. He comes out of the room sweaty and exhilerated. I've been amazed by it. I had earlier headsets that requ

Congrats! Not sure how many employees you have, but as you get into the $200-$500k owner discretionary earnings level, definitely take a look at small business retirement plans. If it is just you, or just you and a family member, you can u

I really like the admiralcloudberg blog, which provides extensive analysis of plane crashes and the NTSB investigation that follows. I hadn’t thought of it, but I think the idea of similar investigations for self-driving car accidents is a

What concerns me, and I don’t see mentioned as much as I would expect, is: how will people be compensated for generating new content if ChatGPT takes over? I believe the innovation that will really “win” generative AI in the long term is on

Yes, but its not really clear to me how to interpret these layoffs. 1. I could understand firing a few top executives, but is laying off a quarter of the staff likely to make the cars safer? Shouldn't they be adding people focused on

I am curious how people are using Phind. I actually had a discussion with Phind itself recently, in which I said that in order to help me, it seems like it would need to ingest my codebase so that it understands what I am talking about. Wi

I use the myq app to open my garage door open regularly. The app is slow to open and generally annoying. For example, the whole interface is initially blocked, so you tap to open and it doesn't register the tap, still doesn't re

We historically used Parallels to create virtual machines used as build environments for MacOS based software. Then, when we switched to apple silicon, it stopped working (you could install a MacOS virtual machine, but it was based on an

If you want that immersion, I think $3500 is totally reasonable. I paid more than that for my two additional monitors. The problem for me is that I like monitors better. I like the feeling of real space around me. I cannot conceive of we

I find it much easier to imagine commercial uses (perhaps visualizing a planned building in its real environment) than personal uses.

My in-laws did this (think they got 1/4), but they ended up with a bunch of cuts they weren't used to/didn't like and ended up throwing away a significant amount.

They aren't mentioned in the article, but Butler Motorcycle Maps fit with the theme. You can currently access the same data via an app called Rever (which is great for actually driving a route you have already planned), but the physica

This is interesting, but to be honest it’s more learning than I personally want to take on for this use case. One feature that I miss from code editors is “record actions”. The last time I remember having it was maybe in visual studio arou

I just discovered cloudberg a few months ago, on HN. I agree the writeups are amazing. What I enjoy most is that frequently, the crash appears to have a clear “culprit” early on, then cloud berg points out 5-7 other factors, any one of whi

Thanks, this is actually very useful, and I will almost certainly use it. But, I still think there are real issues here, regarding empowering parents to guide their children to appropriate resources and away from resources they view as nega

I just upvoted this, and thought about posting something similar myself. I am right now buying "how to talk about sex" books for my 11 year old son. My wife and I are super sex positive. But I look on Pornhub, and the idea that

I worked on the medical resident scheduling problem for a while, and there is a giant body of work on all kinds of staff scheduling problems going back to the 1960s at least. The two classes of solutions that I considered where optimization

I agree on the therapist. Some are better than others, plan to try a few before settling on one. The other thing I’d suggest is begin exercising regularly. Jogging is great because it only requires shoes, and you can do it almost anywhere.

Fair question. I think I used that word because at the beginning of the talk, the person who had organized the talk gave a five minute ibtro about how admirable it was that he was willing to acknowledge the difficulty of his ADHD, etc. The

I saw the guy who founded kinkos speak at Babson business school about 20 years ago. Weirdly, he was there due to some sponsorship related to disabilities because he had ADHD. He got up and in the first 30 seconds said he thought ADHD had

I am the OP, and I have a DS 918+ and I have been very happy with it. But I am not a hardware expert, so I don't claim to know what hardware you should buy. What I like about synology is the operating system/software. You can

Thanks for this. I just bought new 14tb drives for my synology nas, and I looked at your data when I did so. Separately, my nas running RAID 10 worked as it was supposed to: I hot swapped the drives one at a time over several weeks, and we

Thanks to the mhandley for posting this. I have now read a bunch of these posts (on 'admiralcloudberg') and they are absolutely fascinating. The ones I find most interesting are those where I remember the media coverage at the t

It is exhausting. My kids are 9 and 11. It’s different, but still all consuming. Still, I think it is very hard for anyone to predict what some one else’s experience will be having kids. It depends on the kids temperament, yours, your sp

Agreed. I bought a VR headset a few years ago with the idea of using iRacing to practice for actual track days. It was a plausible use case with a lot of significant practical advantages. But in reality, it was just unpleasant to use. I

Exactly. If you value something, pay for it. It’s a way of sending resources to an organization so that it can continue to do more of what you value. I remember When my parents bought World Book so we could have it on our shelf at home.

To be honest, what I love about legos is the free play aspect. When I play with my kids, (now 8 and 10), I find that the key thing is not what pieces we have (admittedly, we have a lot of pieces), or instructions, but developing some theme
