yeah i have no idea why my brain decided to type that (twice...), its clearly 28km

Amazing. I love that i didn't know this. When i was studying weather as part of my pilots license i noted the basic mental math that i'd lose ~2 degrees celsius per 1000ft, but never did i take a second to ask, what happens when i

Wait, so at 28k/km the temp goes up to 15C? This is all very cool but this temperature reading caught my eye as unexpected.

Is no one going to comment on the goggly eyes or 8mm data tape? You people disappoint me.

"Evidence" requires citations.

I wouldnt say it is, but there are circumstances when speed is helpful. I wouldn't argue that coding is one of them.

This is the feeling i get too. Cant produce quality, but can produce something that is super fast...so take the wins where they are.

pretty nice, the click targets are a bit awkward but otherwise really fun!

Maybe in the US, in Canada i find their online services are pretty average. A lot of the time i search for something and i get a US link, much to my disapointment.

Yeah, home depot is a tricky case. They have a huge array of products, and in my experience when you cant find something you need to search beyond the store you're in....so the database you need access to isn't exactly small. Make

I used to run a company (2010-2018) where our customers were almost always using our product inside of grocery stores, which are almost always metal sheds with some finishings on the walls. Not so great for cell service, it became essential

So i've done similar things in the past - and my justification for 'app' over website has been offline. Does the PWA state of things resolve that in the modern days? If it did, yeah I'd agree, no need for an app at all.

That checks out.

As an Australian, Apples voice models have always sucked. I've tried using stt (again) more recently and its improved, but i'm so tired of having to Americanize my voice to get it to figure out what the hell i'm saying.

That success rate aligns with mine. I was also shocked, at first.

For sure. I mean, i think naturally you'll end up there if all goes well. Have some tricky questions prepared of course, but starting simple gives you so much so quickly and often tells you where their strengths and weaknesses will end

ha, i'd have loved that. I'm out of the world where I hire people these days, solo founder life. Maybe i'll go back there, but it's a real mission objective to just be a one man show right now.

So for about 10 years my main interview question was: "Write me a function in any language of your choosing, that takes an array of integers and returns the sum." I loved it. Here is why: 1. I'd get to see them write code, in

That's what Google told me, but i still don't see how it links to this?

I'm glad you're asking because I've seen it too and don't get it either. I assumed initially it was alpha as a typo, then I Googled it and got even more confused.

None of those things are knowledge. I think theres something specific around limiting access to knowledge and capabilities that makes this feel insidious.

Some do. Sr-22 for example. However, often if you’re handling things well, loosing an engine isn’t the end of the world. A lot of accidents happen very close to the ground, at height wear a parachute wouldn’t necessarily be helpful anyway.

Given the trajectory of the world’s on, it seems pretty obvious to me that diversifying from oil and gas is required for a long-term sustainable economy. I think the more interested in short term benefits than long-term success.

The irony that they figured out how to eliminate rats, but can’t diversify from oil and gas is pretty special.

So, I love this little game. I've been wanting to remake Scorched Earth for years, just for fun. Decided to experiment with this repo today, adding multi player, islands that can sink the ships (that the ships cant shoot through), and

Probably a bit but here’s the thing: if charging fast is, well….faster…then people care less if they loose a little extra battery because getting it back is less inconvenient. There’s a graph i imagine here where slow charging, you want to

Yep exactly this. The app developers are the problem, but Apple and Google are not helping here.

Came here to say the same. I don't even know what this product is anymore. The website makes it sound like its about music but there is no music? I'm lost. The last time I paid for LastFM was some time in 2009...but the home page
