When did you read the book? It seems to me that the ideas within the book now pervade culture in ways that it didn't when it first came out. If you read it recently it could contribute to your feeling of this being common sense. Als

My plumber seems pretty safe about AI at least for next century. Unless houses are rebuilt with standards and ease of repairability in mind. But even changing all the houses in the world to this new system would take over a hundred years.

Airbnb sucks as a client for so many reasons but this article is not providing any evidence whatsoever. Articles like these existed well before Airbnb existed. Quebec has been doing poorly when it comes to new constructions for decades no

Do you have a source for that? (it's not that I don't believe you it's just that I wanted to find this and couldn't).

This is horrible and I hope it doesn't encourage anyone to do this. No friendships beyond the very shallow relationships you can develop with the workers onboard the train or the people passing through. This feels inhumane to me. I c

Honestly if you don't see the point with your use case go for the cheaper option.

I suspect it has to do with the effect of scale. Apple operates with limited number of models and that means they get volume for each mould and assembly lines. If you did 20000 laptops of one model versus 2 million you can definitely can

I disagree with your assessment. Things that matter to me and that all Windows laptops in the same price range or lower as the MBA have shittier speakers, camera, monitor (both brightness and color accuracy). The trackpad feels entirely wro

I'm always impressed how someone goes on to try to find an answer for something that ultimately isn't all that important in the grand scheme of things. Nevertheless I find myself fascinating by this author's journey to figur

A fermentation process occurs deep within the meat tissue. The outside parts are usually moldy but not rotten if done correctly.

If you prefer a more fun syntax I would consider Elixir instead of Erlang. It's transpired to Erlang so you get the whole ecosystem's benefits. One of my favorite features of Elixir is the |> operator. I find myself desiring

Omg! Same story for me! I was working in a billing company and we used an iframe that we'd reload with JS that would run to change the DOM. Around the same time as well!

I removed caffeine from my diet during covid. I found a 2% increase in sleep quality using rudimentary software (Sleep cycle) over a period of a year. What I did find was a reduction in anxiety as well. That said someone close to me was d

If you pair program every ms counts. In video conference another half second does a huge hit.

I'm happy we have this precedent now in Canadian law. I'm wondering how such a thing would play out in the US.

I'm in Canada and we have heat pumps with secondary heat sources for when it gets really cold. Mine is with gas.

If you’re using Ruby I recommend the RubyCritic gem. It’ll give you lots of information on your project.

You can run the `strings` command on most executables (or PDFs) and get an output of the strings represented in the file. Of course you can obfuscate some of those strings if you do things right but a lot of people who don't know abou

I think he's fundamentally right even if he's wrong about certain details. SPA create a polarization between devs whereby they're either front end or backend. Full stack devs are slowed down compared to tools like Hotwire&#x

This is exactly the kind of efforts I wished were built into Ruby. No wonder lots of Ruby devs are now doing Elixir. It's shaping up to be an amazing language!

Cod benefited by a moratorium on fishing in the areas with the most stock (eastern Canada). Without it there would have been a complete disappearing of cod.

If you've been following what Patagonia has done for a while you'd understand that this company isn't like that.

Sorbet is the worse part of using Ruby professionally. It's actually so far removed from developer happiness if feels completely foreign to long time rubyists. I wished there was types build-in the language though... I see the value

A lot of my friends and I are going about it in "ultra hard mode". It consists in having to use the guessed letters (that's normal hard mode) and always using the last day's word as your start word. It makes it really
