This was really interesting, but I admit I bumped on this throwaway detail: > Our sleep consultant's plan arrived as a PDF full of conditional logic: wake windows, nap caps, what t…

It always felt like a huge miss to me that Microsoft didn’t bring Access to the web and/or mobile apps. For all its flaws, it was a simple drag-and-drop editor that almost anyone c…

In the US, our butter comes in wrappers that divide each stick into 8 tablespoons, so it's actually very easy -- you can visually see where to cut.

They did support it from the mobile app, but in a way that always outraged me. They would only allow you to use Smile on mobile if you agreed to turn on all notifications and let t…

Look at that, there's an entire section on internals. Honestly, I didn't even consider looking there, I just assumed it would be all about syntax and never bothered to check. Thank…

I have 10+ years of experience with MS SQL Server, doing moderately-advanced tasks such as tuning queries and indexes, managing replication and high availability, etc. I'm looking …

Narratives about racism in America are about the systemic, structural ways in which our country disadvantages black people, not about individual people's feelings or even actions. …

For me, implementing PARA in Notion has helped with that. I have one big database just called "Content", and then links to Projects/Areas/Resources. So if I'm not sure where someth…

I actually loved Windows Phone. I got one because it was the cheapest possible option after my "real" phone broke, and I was surprised at how polished it was. It was such an intere…

Man I hate this. I sort of get wanting to support robust file sharing for teams, but let's be honest: 99% of file uploads on teams are going to be silly gifs.

I recently had to create accounts for work benefits at TWO different sites that had user name complexity requirements, and actually rated the strength of my user name! That's somet…

99.999% of the time, no. But the consequences of forgetting are disastrous, and it's happened to plenty of well-meaning but distracted and preoccupied people. It was one of my grea…

Scrolling down has been overridden to scroll to the right instead. So just scroll up and down to read. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Git greps work if you're trying to search all the logs. I would think this detailed documentation would be most important when you're trying to understand a specific file or line o…

Then use `git log --oneline` and you don't have to see the lengthy details, until the inevitable day when you find you need them.

For me, this becomes more true the longer and more oddly specific the domain becomes. I'd feel perfectly fine with biketours.com or duderanch.com, but no way would I visit best-bik…
