The state of recipe sites is 100% driven by Google. Those sites add the fluff because that is what Google rewards. The actual recipe quality doesn't matter. If I use my example, the page contains: * Bio of the author - Google SEO rewar

No, Google results are trash. Here are three examples from this week: - I Googled "speed work running", wanting some workout suggestions. I visited four or five results that either didn't have concrete suggestions, were poorl

What a weird take. Religions ability to influence behaviour works because of our lizard brain, not despite it. The idea of God judging people from afar is an extension of the important humans place on social conformity. We are hard wired to

Establishment art is just technical proficiency mixed with good marketing. In fact, you can do what artists like Jeff Koons do and just skip the skip the technical proficiency step. I don't see how, at its core, it is any different fro

I'm not surprised that this is the case (I've made that same decision myself). But there are some apps that I just done understand: airline ticketing apps, theme park apps, etc. How is handling offline usage not ofne of the first

Am I missing the sarcasm? If your brother in law is relying on Uber, then employment protections would mean he doesn't lose his sole income unfairly and without notice. Uber argue that most gig workers are just doing it as a spur of th

My beef with Maps is the UI. It's so skittish and modal I'm constantly fighting with it. If I position the viewport ans run a query, it unhelpfully searches a different area. If I tap on a pin it moves the viewport again. If I dis

Htmx is essentially how Facebook was built before React. Everything was server rendered in PHP and you could use special HTML tags to trigger partial updates. Ajax requests would return HTML fragments that would be injected into the correct

Exactly. Apple has a track record and fanbase that means they can sell a $3500 device. Meta know that even if they could build this device, there is zero chance anyone would buy it. They have to start with the low price point to make up for

This is great. I'm relatively comfortable with command lines, but I think people who reflexively respond with "RTFM" are completely wrong. There are few other parts of my life where reading a manual are necessary to start usi

That's weird because the article also says the plaintiffs argument was that the autopilot drove the car I to the curb, not that it disengaged. I don't see how a company can just have a blanket disclaimer that says a product can fa
