Here's why I post like that. People who don't use TikTok see comments like the parent and think that's all TikTok is. So then they assume that everyone who uses TikTok must be into that stuff, because that's what they&#x

I watch quite a bit of TikTok and I have never seen ANY of these.

A while back I wanted to become a customer of a company I had formerly worked at. I reached out via an executive-level friend and former co-worker who made a warm intro to sales. And STILL they first scheduled a call with a brand new to the

I don't know what parent meant, but my credit union a while back decided they no longer wanted to participate in whatever shared branch network they used to be part of, so the branch availability near me went to effectively zero.

You have to order them. They don't just give them to you.

Yes, I specifically do not do business at stores and gas stations that only take debit cards.

The point is, if Affinity gets too good or competitive, Adobe will acquire them too.

I've barely used Heroku, just playing with it for a day or two when it was in its heyday to see what it was about. But my incredibly anecdotal sense is that Heroku's real sweet spot was apps that started out on the free plan and t

We have AT&T fiber and it continues working when the power is out, at least for longer than my UPSes last. We have a fair number of short power outages, and I've never had an AT&T outage at the same time.

I'm sure this has gotten better as people have become more used to smartphones, but I worked on a popular app for a big company a number of years ago, and we would send people out to Safari to open links. The number of customer service

I have a large home with large open spaces and little clutter on the floor. But I'd need something like 8 Roombas to cover it all because of the changes in levels, doors that are normally closed, etc. Also, as a semi-wealthy person wit

I've always felt like these products were mainly designed for people who live in single-level small-ish apartments, but then it's confusing because manually vacuuming those isn't very hard either. I just don't understand

Uber lost my business entirely, because it's hard to use effectively without notifications (you constantly have to be watching to see when your ride/food arrives), but they abuse notifications so badly that I would never leave the

Maybe Java people like it because it feels very Java-like, but that's a huge downside to me for any other language. I can't stand using Pycharm. So heavy weight, slow, bloated, ugly. Reminds me of using Eclipse.

Data doesn't lie is, in itself, a lie. Data has to be collected, so it's biased by what you choose to measure. Data has to be interpreted, so it's biased by how you interpret it. Data is only a snapshot in time, so it doesn&#

"SuperHost" is such a joke because most of them are professional airbnb managers who don't actually own the properties. If they're good at their jobs maybe they would only accept properties that meet some standard, but f

One of the main reasons I quit being a professional software developer was the expectation of being on call. My sleep and my free time with my family are more important than any job. No matter how much I like the normal work, and how much t

I don't think this is accurate in the US. Yes, FHA loans require inspections, but they are WELL under half of all mortgages, and I am not aware of any other major lenders or loan programs that require inspections (there probably are so

Not wrong, though my experience is that most of them _do_ know it. At least the finance people do, if they're paying any attention at all.

This is one reason that ORMs which wish to own the database schema make me uncomfortable. How much fun is that schema going to be years down the road when that ORM is out of fashion, but you still need an app working with that data? Some ar

What percentage of x-plane users do you think ACTUALLY use it for learning to fly an airplane (in the sense that they do or will go fly that actual plane IRL)? I'd bet a lot of money that it's less than 5%. They are optimizing for
