100$/Mo is a lot for most and Twitter is relatively easy to scrape and script. I'd imagine this move will probably not earn Twitter any considerable amount of profits as Twitter is weirdly heavy app and new lazy web scrapers/

Automation in Javascript isn't what I'd call developer friendly. I'm constantly perplexed by javascript presence outside of web environment.

I think some estimates were that avg query costs around 1-5 cents USD so to break even the users has to make less than 13-66 queries per day which is quite reasonable. I use it daily and from a brief glance I avg ~20 queries/day, which

I'm using it for tech research and onboarding. It's just so convenient to ask "how to request github API with Go req library" and get a working answer even if it's not perfect. Novelty questions are awesome too. I&#

I've been experimenting with copilot for a few months now and it has been really fun/frustrating. As the post mentions - it's best for fullstack development or learning new languages/toolsets. However, the error rate is

I don't think comparing new entry to the market with the OG pioneer is fair in any way, shape or form. Nintendo did get a 33 year head start.

Seems like AI translation is will soon be good enough to explore this. Unfortunately, I think bigger barrier is culture than language and maybe we're not missing out that much in practical terms then.

I actually upgraded from this one to Shinobi. I still take it on the road sometimes but it's not even close to the quality of Shinobi even if you take away the mechanical keys.

Last year I got Shinobi Tex[1] - a mechanical keyboard with a trackpoint and it's so incredible good that I keep a spare for if it eventually breaks down. My hypothesis is that if an action feels more expensive than average we subconci

Sansa Clip Zip/Plus + rockbox were trully exceptional for their time. I'm not sure if we'll ever see an open device of such all around quality seeing how things are going these days.

I disagree, nobody is entitled to my time. I think exercising control over your social interaction is really the only way to stay healthy. If you plug into the matrix and just consume everything thrown at you, you'll surely be overwhel

I feel like common markdown notes is a myth. Once you start getting into your notes you quickly run into common markdowns limitations and it's super simple stuff like centering images or adding captions. Then you choose to either flavo

In all fairness, that's the whole point of the block feature - to avoid interaction with people you don't want to interact. I'm definitely off an opinion that people should block and mute as much as possible to sanitize their

Hahah, the author seems to be very well aware of the trolley trap and actually makes the same joke in the book while also spending pages on exploring various trolley scenarios. So I'm not sure how to answer your question :D
