All of my degrees are in jazz music. My education was not utilized for this particular task.

I once wrote code that checks location before hiding/showing the cancel button. It’s really absurd that the nice experience exists on all subscription sites by now but you only get…

Can’t rule out hyperinflation doing some heavy lifting :)

As an anecdote of how bad the naming is, I own one of these, but couldn’t tell you which one.

My honest suspicion is that Musk will focus more and more on AI (and less on space) because he sees it as a path towards his immortality. I expect AI models trained on him combined…

When you say you’re sharing with a SO, do you mean you’re doing the dance of re-authenticating with their two factor code every few days now that they clamped down on sharing a sub…

Jazz clubs book the same act for a week at a time. If there’s enough demand to fill a stadium for 4 nights in a row for a pop star, that sounds super efficient to me.

The only real solutions to scalping are to impact supply/demand by increasing supply (extra show in each city) or lower demand (raise prices). As a jazz fan I don’t know much about…

Good call on lootboxes. I’d love it if video games that include them would be forced to do age verification to whatever extent casinos need to, and be 18+.

Handing your phone to the guy working the gate at the parking lot is awkward. Will he need to hand it back and forth for face ID? Handing a credit card like everyone else does is b…

As long as we're innovating, how about adding tap to pay to the physical apple cards?

Book is better but they’re both good. I don’t think order matters.

I believe that one day they will return to an ergonomic phone that is comfortable for one hand use and fits in pants pockets. Until then you need some other way to carry giant phon…

As a parent, I think you’re understating how difficult it is to provide a specific amount of internet access (and no more) to a motivated kid. Kids research and trade parental cont…

As a musician, I read my music from an iPad. A phone or a laptop monitor would be impossibly small for this.

I wonder if AI will eventually make faster languages (eg Rust, Crystal) nearly as simple to ship with, and therefore a better choice. Or maybe that will end up being a new language…

I've been using Elixir with Gemini for the past couple days, and the LLM is less successful than it has been with other languages I use. It gets stuck sometimes - for example it co…

As a jazz musician I’d estimate that there are at least an order of magnitude more seventh chords than triads in jazz songs. I question a dataset that says there are more triads. M…

Can someone help me understand the percentages? Does 80% accurate imply that the measurement could be 20% inflated?
