This bait-and-switch along with real uptime issues is why I left GitLab years ago. I have a personal rule of; "if there is a reasonable OSS alternative to a proprietary software, use it." Unfortunately they are not reasonable. I w

This is a very Nintendo thing to do. I get it from a business perspective but it’s an easy way to really alienate a loyal audience.

Starting in Siberia, Pleistocene Park. Interesting question. I know the'll IVF an elephant (this is speculation) which I assume will raise it to an extent (though they could bottle feed I guess... thats a lot of milk). Mammoths are pa

I am pretty sure this is a way for hotels to appear competitive on deal websites/apps. When I use like HotelTonight the “Resort Fee” is not included in their price. It’s definitely a dark pattern and I wish they were just up front abou

Having the culmination of your work for the past several years actually culminate in a test flight is definitely a thing to celebrate in my opinion. The test flight is a ... test ... of a hypothesis that this system will make it to space (t

I love my pilot vanishing point pen. Had it for years and it is one of my all time favorite writing utensils. Glad to see it on the list.

K dude. Running a GDG has helped me consistently learn new technologies as well as how to public speak. Consistently organizing events has helped with that. https://gdg.community.dev/gdg-cloud-philly/

My response to this is rather neutral. As a long-time follower of Huberman, I can attest that he consistently delivers valuable information. Each episode is akin to a college-level biology lecture. When you closely listen to his advice (and

As a self-taught developer, I've found that networking and community involvement have been crucial in my growth and success. Through attending meetups, conferences, and joining online communities, I've been able to learn from othe

As a developer who struggles with attention at times, I found this article really interesting. It's cool to see that there are playful solutions being developed that can help kids with ADHD learn and develop important skills. I'm

He also did an interview with a person from the NIMH who personally only uses candle light past dark. It makes sense when you think about it. Also apparently overhead lights are worse- the angle makes a difference.

Yea the face and hands are typically the first bodyparts to show skin "aging" which is now more commonly thought to be preventable (mostly) with moisturizing, Retonol, and sunscreen. There are UV protecting gloves put there. I won

Not a scientist but I'd imagine more because it's a lot of radiation focused on a very small area. With DNA damage being cumulative I'd imagine the DNA repair systems can't keep up with that many molecular lesions at onc

I got burned so many times by GitLab I can't in good conscience use them anymore. I always try to use an OSS product when I can, but I literally lost a client a few years back because we couldn't do a deploy because GL was down. F

It’s about time haha. Once they found real world conflicts it needed to be phased out for anything security related. At least it isn’t very hard to move from SHA-1 to SHA-256.

Pretty sure Starlink forlvomg vehicles will be a completely different service entirely. I know a few airlines contracted with them to provide in-flight internet. My assumption is that different hardware would be needed given both the vehicl

I became obsessed with PBS space time over the pandemic. I love the depth of content that Matt goes into. It’s clearly a ton of work and I pays off. I’m definitely super interested in Astrophysics now.

I totally didn’t realize Teenage Engineering made the Playdate. I’m even more exited for it now. Early reviews say it’s quite fun.

I understand your view. It is probably more correct to say “you’ll receive occasional marketing emails from me”. My view is mostly from the “there is no such thing as a free lunch” perspective. If I see an exchange of value it’s fair to me.

For me Go has replaced Node as my preferred backend language. The reason is because of the power of static binaries, the confidence that the code I write today can still run ten years from now, and the performance. The difference in the cod

This is a free “course” in the author’s platform. He has paid courses that he occasionally sends emails about when he has promotions. I’m quite stringent about what I unsubscribe to and his emails have not come even close to that threshold.

Also the kindles use significantly less light that aren’t emitted directly into your eyes (rather up/down on the screen). That’s what I thought this study was at first. I have a non illuminated kindle for years and I’m wondering the sa

From my understanding from what experts say any light will affect your sleep to some extent. The big issue with backlit screens are that the blue lights are projected directly into your eyes which compounds the effects as more photons hit y

This isn't super surprising based on my personal experience. I take theanine in the morning to help clear my mind before working and also before bed to stop my mind from racing. I have found that taking caffeine and other prescription
