Spotlight is great for those lone cold weather nights: whenever I feel down, it will start indexing and spin up all the fans and make a lot of heat and noise, making me feel warm and loved

I decided my last Macbook Pro 15 was my last Macbook, then bought a top of the range DELL running Windows 10, and the fit and finish of both the device and the OS is just not there. Using the touchpad was a chore as it's not as respons

Right, my point being I'm working in this field and it's incredibly difficult to get any kind of grant funding for this kind of work. Gov't funding drives this kind of work, and we spend a lot of time writing grants and getti

I tried to avoid using @apply but that makes creating variations (e.g. of button styles) REALLY hard — as your code is just littered with class names. Plus if you're adding :active :hover and :focus styles, you have to do it on ALL the

What can we do with the data in Tinybird after it's all ingested? I guess the blocks are the same shape as in Notion so we can build apps on top of Tinybird's API instead? Is it possible to use Tinybird as a backup and restore fea

this is really nice!! I'll be using this instead of Powerthesaurus, for sure. Could you turn the suggested words into hyperlinks, please?

That looks like some stuffed up IKEA + food court. I can't imagine spending $30 for that kind of ambiance, instead of on a very high quality burger. The entire thing feels like "children pretending to be fancy rich adults".

After I got laid off, being unemployed was the best thing to happen to my mental health — I just backpacked everywhere for a few months, and built a lot of longer-term perspective on my life. Getting away from the perpetual "oh god I d

Great, we've already sequenced too many things and have no time to process the raw sequences (for our project anyway). Soon we'll just fill up our hard drives, and then our buckets with loads of raw sequence files that we don&#x27

Sometimes it does both — e.g. when I use Front and click on an email, it does something. But I should ALSO be able to open it up in a separate frame, for long readings (in Front you do this by double clicking). Is it good practice to use li

This happens all the time in the field I'm in (phages, phage therapy) and the same names appear over and over. Peer review are anonymous but you can easily tell who's reviewed your paper or grant. I'm not sure how to fix this

It's more about the perceived tact of positioning the question, rather than the pursuit of the answer, isn't it? If someone "came across as questioning" then yeah they'd be questioning, but that largely depends on h

I'm curious no one cares to store culture on the computer — maybe in the form of music, movies, and videos? Most knowledge can be derived at some point, but the culture is going to be lost.

How do you start building bots like this, that can interact with people so convincingly? From the sign in / sign up process to the profile generation to the conversations?
