Tamagui looks cool. I was evaluating it to see if I could use it in my projects. I got stuck on this bit of the documentation: > Button only supports a limited subset of text props directly, and doesn't accept hoverStyle text props.

Got tired of giving Amazon and other big advertising companies my reading list to profile me with. Bought an Android-based eReader. Found it incredibly difficult to find most books off of Amazon. Even harder to find books without DRM. Also

My parents let me "cry it out" when I was a kid. I cried so much I got a mild hernia. Mild enough that it has never caused any problems. But it left a bump in my abdomen that I can still feel as a man in my late 30s.

> -20 is down there! That's 244 Kelvin. It may not seem like a lot of heat to the human body, or judging by the state of everyday elements like water. But in terms of energy, there's actually still quite a bit there.

Meanwhile, most people in the US don't even know what a "heat pump" is, and think that "air conditioners" are inherently wasteful and bad for the environment.

Interesting idea, though it's important to note that vocabulary is probably only 20% of learning a language. There's also grammar, pronunciation, tone, etc. And many languages don't even have a clear concept of what constitut

I've used Anki to learn languages with SRS for years. I keep running into the same problem, even with difficult languages: my knowledge of the language quickly outpaces the rate at which I can study new cards, and my ability to retain

More than half of Houten residents use a car to buy groceries? That seems absurd. One of the things I love about living in Europe is that I can walk to small grocery shops within a block of where I live, so I can do many small trips during

It's completely unintuitive to me that open source software, which anyone can fork and make their own version of, could go 18 years without a basic feature like this. Makes me think that something about Gnome's open source model i

This is very interesting. Anecdotally, I never had a problem with wheat until I moved to Europe. I'd love to see a comparison of fungal toxins in American wheat compared to European wheat. Not that it's easy these days to be aware

I didn't notice it specifically mentioned in the article, but it's worth noting that the Huns were most likely a completely different group than the Hungarians. Historical evidence of what happened is thin, but one likely theory i

The same as those old-school wooden roller coasters with no safety-bar. You'd better hold on tight!

This reminds me of the response I got once when working for a government agency. I managed to automate their quality assurance process, reducing a two week manual testing routine down to a five minute test suite. Their response? I got fired

A few years ago I was planning to meet some friends in Brazil for the holidays. I waited until the last possible day to apply for a visa. When I tried to apply for the visa, there was an off by one error in the front end form validation tha

What kind of contract did you sign with them? That's really the key. A popular agreement is 50% payment up front, and 50% payment after deliverables have been received. It sounds like you may have paid before receiving the deliverables

Generally, retirement accounts are low-risk investments, since people rely on them for a stable retirement. What would you do if you placed your entire retirement fund in crypto assets that crashed in value? I'm not saying this could n

I'm betting this is going to free up a name I've been waiting for that hasn't been active for 10 years. Just after I decided to change my whole brand!

And I still won't rent with Hertz again. In my experience, this company makes their computer problems the customer's fault. Thankfully I haven't been accused of stealing a rental, but I have had my vacation ruined because I r

The answer is simple, but not easy. Search for a Toastmasters club near you. Attend their meetings regularly and practice!

With machine translation, it's obvious why phrasebooks aren't popular anymore. But when I'm learning a new language, I do find it helpful to have a list of common phrases to study. While machine translation can help you with

I'd imagine part of mandated interoperability would be regulation forbidding such ToS.

Someone should build an app like this that is integrated with all the social networks. Give it a sexy UI, and a catchy feature or two to keep people checking in. Eventually, it could serve as a federated contacts hub that links people betwe

TL;DR Mandate interoperability with federated networks. I'm skeptical about the feasibility of the idea, mostly due to the fact that it will be impossible to get tech giants to agree to stick to a standardized content format, especiall

Interesting, though extremely unhealthy. Made with highly processed fava beans and wheat gluten. If you're eating a plant-based diet for health reasons, probably best to avoid this one and stick to real steak. As a gluten-intolerant pe
