I had subscriptions to news, games, and cooking, but they were constantly trying to upsell me while still showing ads on their pages. It was so annoying that I canceled it all, even though I was using all three products regularly. It's

Unfortunately, we do not live in the best of all possible worlds. One must plan for both the actual threat and the response to the perceived threat.

Sadly, this is where we are in politics. Pick any term that you like to replace the concept and a rival campaign to redefine it will begin. Your vocabulary is just another battleground.

For years, I thought early merging was the morally correct choice, until a friend in my car yelled at me for doing it. He was a very conscientious person, but he was also a bus driver in the city (and thus much better trained in driving thr

Part of the fun is immersion. A player can easily suspend disbelief if it's important for the game's conceit (it's like our world, but with dragons and magic). But if it's based on a misunderstanding of the base nature o

It sounds like Elon had the domain and it was burning a hole in his pocket. That's the only explanation, honestly. Twitter as a brand becomes less valuable the more he alters it, since he's such a polarizing figure, so changing th

+1 for Plantuml. It has a great ecosystem, but there are certainly tradeoffs vs using mermaidjs, because of their different compilation models. Mermaidjs seems to look nicer out of the box as well, but usually that's not the point for

I'm curious as to the query they're using in stackoverflow, since the results they've graphed vary considerably from https://insights.stackoverflow.com/trends .

Do smaller companies (smaller than Meta and Google) use these kinds of build tools much? It seems like a system that rebuilds everything whenever a dependency changes is more suited an environment that has very few, if any, external depende

It's healthy to have a normal amount of cynicism. They released it for a reason. "The goal of our open source endeavor is to provide full transparency to you, our users, about how our systems work." Why be transparent (or tr

I'm sure we can all think of examples where a power structure (a company, a country, a prison, a family) invited people in for a supervised tour that was less than honest in its presentation. But really, if people respond to Twitter&#x

TLDR: ask yourself "why don't I want to do this?" Pay attention to the feeling, be honest, and try to address the problem it points at. In my personal experience, negative emotions are strong indicators that should not be ign

A lot of people would pay to get the history of their exchanges on a dating site. You don't realize when you close your account that you're also losing all the history of how you met - at the time it's more of a celebration o

They were banned for including a link to where Sweeney moved. I wonder if everyone who posts a link to these journalists will get banned too. If it were an algorithm, everyone in Twitter would be banned by tomorrow. I hope it works.

For better or worse, when I was interviewing developers I would give specifically vague requirements, since requirement gathering is a skill that I think (senior) developers must have. I don't think that's a useful thing to do in

It's actually E12 vs H13 - there is no H12. The "E" in "E12" stands for "EPA", as opposed to "HEPA".

Levoit also sells more powerful air purifiers with particle detection, though. I think the point of this article was to compare the bottom end.

Probably more aggro than necessary... Wirecutter takes H13 to be the minimum level that can be considered "HEPA" because that seems to be the "H" in "H13", per the same chart that Dynomight references in Wikipe
