I want to love Nintendo. They create such great IP and their games are time and again some of the most memorable and unique experiences you can purchase in the space. But their lawyers are relentless, and it will forever leave a foul stench

A busy road in the downtown area of my city has been under construction for a while recently. It's entirely cut down on car traffic because all the cars are diverted, and what's really cool to see is there's been a significan

So far 14 months and counting. It's great for giving a hybrid work feel, especially for people who like that sort of thing, without the actual requirement to live near the office or commute daily.

This is very true. For interns and junior devs if the team is remote the seniors need to set aside time to help them out daily. I've started doing this as a senior dev on my team, basically setting time for office hours, and it's

Apple's hardware is second to none, really great time to be a mac user honestly. What would make it even better would be if the software caught up a bit. It feels like MacOS is in the in-between where it wants to be like iOS but it doe

NileRed and NileBlue are actually super interesting to me! But in that creator's case I think what they do is highly visual and stimulating in that way.

I’ve read a biography on him. He was definitely an asshole. But tbh he’s nothing comparable to someone like an Elon. Jobs fired people unceremoniously, but he didn’t buy a huge tech company and fire 2/3rds of staff and make them work w

Good. The Bolt is a great form factor. We need to stop this never-ending race to get the biggest and heaviest cars for no reason in the US. We already have people driving trucks around lifted beyond belief with beds that never get used. The

The "Hints" app is included with iOS, showing even Apple struggles with this. Most things should be obvious through using your product. For more complex things, it can be hard to rely on discovery.

Exactly. It’s not like we’re saying people in medicine shouldn’t make good money. I’m glad doctors are paid well for example. What we don’t like is lack of price transparency and needlessly expensive medications. We allow drug companies to

People innovate because the want to, not because they can use that innovation to price gauge sick and dying people. The only people you are protecting with this idea are the top 1% of the top 1%. We will always value medicine, but we don’t

All these comments plus the new frameworks coming out like SST just go to show most people want a simpler interface to AWS services. I wonder if AWS will provide this themselves or if we’ll always need 3rd parties to do so.

I know there’s mixed feelings about this for many reasons but I think fundamentally this is the right step. Drugs are not the problem, mental health and lack of social services is. If we criminalize drugs, we’re throwing people who are stru

You only go bankrupt if you can’t afford the mortgage. If you can afford the mortgage you’ll be fine. Unless the economy collapses from all angles which at that point you’ll be worried about a lot more than bankruptcy.
