DropMix was an NFC DJing game that used RFID playing cards. It’s been done/could be done again.

Meta’s bottom line is driven entirely by their ability to uniquely and persistently identify users for the sake of advertising. Anything that makes it harder for a user to escape their dragnet is a win.

I got a Zune on clearance when they were shutting down the whole mess (a nice fugly brown one for 80% off). Build quality was rock solid, UI felt premium, and it mostly just got out of my way/let me play tracks. They were great little

I also follow this approach. I just flip the flag on the PR I’m reviewing to off before submitting my approval. We also have most of our repos set to block if unresolved comments. I think it’s a flag on branch protection rules

option + hyphen gives you an en-dash (–), which is easier to type and I am guilty of way overusing/misusing.

My work has a “donuts” slack channel for this. You find an unlocked computer you post “donuts on me!” Social pressure says they buy the office donuts. Still get a few a week, but at least it’s public and amusing.

I caught myself saying “you’re absolutely right” to my wife last night, unironically. This was 100% not in my vocabulary six months ago. If I spend 40 hours a week talking to anybody, some of their language or mannerisms are going to rub of

The TL;DR dos not seem to match the rest of the article. They claim the agents reliably generated a week’s worth of dev work for $20 in tokens, then go on to list all the failure modes and debugging they had to do to get it to work, and con

Having spent a couple years rehabbing a 100 year old house, I’m convinced the trades will be the last thing to go. When the building you’re working on has been ship-of-Theseus’d by 3 generations of home owners, everything is out of distribu

LLMs rarely if ever proactively identify cleanup refactors that reduce the complexity of a codebase. They do, however, still happily duplicate logic or large blocks of markup, defer imports rather than fixing dependency cycles, introduce ne

There are a few modern artists who mix cool techniques to great results and get recognized. Olafur Eliasson and James Turrell come to mind. Damien Hirst is a more polarizing third contender. Edit: also Yayoi Kusama

I’ve been slow to invest in building flows around parallelizing agent work under the assumption that eventually inference will get fast enough that I will basically always be the bottleneck. Excited to see glimpses of that future. Context s

I use it in a Python/TS codebase (series D B2B SaaS with some AI agent features). It can usually “make it work” in one shot, but the code often requires cleanup. I start every new feature w/Claude Code in plan mode. I give it the

Totally valid that my boss probably didn’t want to be there either, but for context this was circa 2008 Google where “offsite” meant “go spend company money to do something fun.” Alternatives were literally things like going to Napa or an a

I get that we’re all part of the same system, but I consider Office Space a nihilistic rejection of the entirety of that system. It’s not just “my boss is dumb,” it’s “this whole system is anti-human and dumb, and we’d all be happier workin

My former manager organized an offsite where we all watched Office Space together. Did she just not get it? Or did she get it, and it was some weird flex making us watch it with her? I still don’t know.

This reminds me of a UI pattern I saw in an old iOS comic reader (Comic Zeal) for organizing your comics. You had a horizontal rule that worked as a cursor. You could swipe things to the side (“pick”) to add them to the cursor. You then mov

Netflix was also still in the “grow users at all cost” phase. They have since moved to “grow revenue at all costs.” Everyone likes a service when it’s subsidized by VC dollars. Until they inevitably start turning the screws.

I got my father-in-law to try AirPods Pro 2 last year. He’s needed hearing aids for about a decade, but wouldn’t get them, I think for vanity reasons. I’m at the in-laws for thanksgiving and he’s wearing the AirPods now. From the other side

I agree with that criticism, and I'd encourage the dev to iterate on non-micro-transaction monetization schemes. The part I disagree with is that a profit motive is antithetical to helping kids. It'd be nice if we had robust, no-s
