From watching his videos, he's an Apple guy for his personal devices, though his server infrastructure (and also the bulk of the devices he reviews and experiments with ) are Linux…

They are low earth orbit satellites. Generally, the lower the orbit, the faster they decay. You could also argue that this is a benefit in that they gain updated technology with ea…

1. I would login to my favorites daily. I ran my own BBS (using the Renegade BBS software) as a teenager, so would monitor that as well. I think I landed on QModem after using Teli…

Overnight, I received dozens of emails from Google Payments (noreply@google.com) notifying me that contact emails are being changed on a Payments profile that either I never create…

I am a former Directory of Technology for small/medium business who has transitioned to freelance work three years ago. Open to fractional CTO (particular interest in non-profits) …

Disclaimer: I'm not the OP, and there are certainly places where using recursive type definitions is justified. My interpretation of OP's point is that excessive complexity can be …

I don't really buy the comparison. If you're really unlucky, you can get cancer from a "safe dose" of radiation. Low exposures of both things are statistically less likely to hurt …

Agree that if the primary UI is voice, it will need to be the the multiple nines of success to avoid being frustrating. Even so, I still frequently use Siri now despite it being mu…

Talking to an audio-enabled LLM is definitely "simpler" in terms of device interaction than navigating menus and such. Also having less GUI focus would feel simpler to me. I find m…

Yeah, the convenience of pairing and switching is something I didn't think of.

In reading the discussion about Tahoe's release and Apple's prioritization to meet its ship dates over its delivering actual new value to customers has got me thinking about what k…

It's pretty difficult to imagine. Apple did a ton of work on the power efficiency of iOS on their own ARM chips for iPhone for a decade before introducing the M1. Since iOS and mac…

I have wondered this as well and my best guess is so two times can be diffed without converting them to an signed type. With 64-bit especially, the extra bit isn't buying you anyth…

The vast majority of internet bandwidth is people streaming video. Shaving a few megs from a webpage load would be the tiniest drop in the bucket. I am all for efficiency, but opti…

I would have loved this in 1993. Not that I don't now, but I would have had a real use for it then.

Just because unintended things aren't happening right now, doesn't mean they won't happen. We are in the honeymoon phase of this technology where mass exploitation isn't yet being …

If you have a dependency that is simple and stable, it could appear unmaintained since it doesn't have a lot of recent commits, bug reports, comment history, etc. If a library auth…

It's a cover your ass statement. In most jurisdictions, giving legal advice without a license to practice law is illegal. i.e. This is my opinion, take it as you will. If you want …

Bootstrapping with co-founders? I've had lawyers straight up tell me it's probably not worth hiring them to setup the LLC / operating agreement. Just DIY. Getting outside investmen…

Looks cool. I wish there was an explainer video, I was not clear how I beat the first level and I didn't realize there was a move limit until I ran out on level two. If all the num…

I don't know if you're familiar with the company AllAdvantage but in 1999 they tried to pay people by the hour to have a banner ad displayed on their computer, up to some number of…

Ridiculous Fishing

I am curious as to your experience with this. Over the years, I have administered a few dozen small to medium domains (depending on the domain 10s to 10,000s emails per month) and …
