I'm sad to say this even happens at FAANG. So many engineers seem to either not want to or not know how to optimize their own workflow as they're building it. It's really frustrating when you want to contribute something to t

Yes, luckily it seems cities are slowly starting to realize that allowing cars everywhere and infinitely widening roads is not scalable and, more importantly, does not create a pleasant environment for people to be outside in. The future is

The problem with grouping people into advantaged and disadvantaged groups along lines of race and ethnicity is that you will end up grouping some people that are actually from a poor background into the "advantaged" group and vice

There is PureTuber as well. Haven't tried it yet, but from what I read it has a similar experience to Vanced.

My employer makes us do this and I absolutely hate it. It slows me down so much. I now have to effectively maintain two machines that cause issues at twice the frequency. The server isn't even notably faster than my MacBook. Moreover,

I think this article misses the point. Estimation should never be a goal. It should merely a tool that helps with identifying risks early on and that helps with identifying the "minimum viable product (MVP)". The term MVP was neve

The Netherlands just implemented an 8% property transfer tax for investors in the housing market. This seems to have discouraged a lot of investors from buying up homes in the past year compared to previous years. Still there are massive sh

It always strikes me as odd that many houses and apartment buildings in the US west coast will have entire walls with zero or nearly zero windows in them. Apartments and houses here are so much darker than in Europe.

It's not about making the roads more narrow or winding per se. It's about deliberately slowing cars down where they need to, through the road design. See this video for example: https://youtu.be/bglWCuCMSWc Beside

Sorry but this is just so wrong. American road design is super predicated on personal responsibility. We design roads that are as wide as freeways and then put a little sign on the side that says 35mph speed limit. What we need is less focu

Yes, also it is to be expected that Uber has a large number of drivers that only do a couple of riders per week while a smaller number of drivers work full time. The larger number of drivers that only do a few rides of course would be in fa

Nothing wrong with government subsidized rail. The government subsidizes cars too by funding the roads. I assume you're not in favor of turning all interstates into toll roads? Also in the end it's cheaper to get started with layi

No need to give up single family homes at all. Just make sure every suburb has a dense multi use zoned core with shops and apartments above the shops. Then make that core easy to reach from all across the suburb by walking/cycling&#x2F

Amen to that. Actually getting it done is a big hairy problem I'm afraid though :(

What about the Fire tablets that flip the volume control hardware button whenever you change screen orientation from portrait to landscape and vice versa? I always mess up because of that.

I'm staying away from Lenovo ever since buying an IdeaPad laptop in 2018 with a fan so obnoxious that I literally could not get any work done. Lenovo needs to get their shit together.

I was pleasantly surprised by the focus on esthetics in the article. So many places in the US look so artificial or industrial. One thing that was missing though was creating density and the need for mixed use mid rise buildings with shops

3 or 4 plexes are not going to solve the housing issue in the bay area, because many single family homes are already being used that way. They need to build dense urban cores with residential high rise and mixed use mid rise. Ideally close

Very similar experience for me. I have a hard time spending time on hobbies at the moment, because it feels like I should put that time towards my PhD instead of "wasting my time and energy". Yet, I somehow have no problem spendin
