Except I never bought cryptocurrency and I don't have TikTok and you being right about eBooks has no bearing on the success or failure of personal AR

When I've done them, I always feel like I benefit from reflective practices like these. Does anyone have tips for successfully building reflection into one's life? In the mean time…

I share some of your concerns and I'd not thought about this angle - folks outside the west doing this kind of work. So thanks for sharing. I have attempted to shift my mindset a l…

It was a chain (Sherwin Williams), so I assume they could afford an in house dev team.

I worked at a paint store in my teens (2010s) that operated a beautiful text only PoS system that had been built decades ago and it was incredible. So efficient, purpose built, nar…

"good luck paying your mortgage until this gets figured out"

Also could be a pregnancy/fertility motif?

Why would we want an AI that writes novels though? Is this a "to see if we can" thing? Let's say this or some future AI system writes better novels than any human author at a fract…

We've all been there: waiting for brew, waiting for a CI pipeline, running the full integration suite, xcode doing anything at all. What's your useful advice for staying "on task" …

I sort of assume this is always happening to varying degrees. The net effect even for a skeptic is that you are less trusting of all media. Feels like a nearly unsolvable problem. …

Maybe it's not "elaborate", relative term, but it's multi step, several fake accounts, a fake mail server, multi step interview, and it's tailored to a specific company and targete…

I mean, if you can write arbitrary jsx and react, seems like you can define your own components?

MySpace was my first coding experience and I think ultimately tipped me to CS in school. I remember laying out my page like a pink and black newspaper. All that work for no one to …

The situation OP described is really not that unbelievable to me. I've met one or two developers who really were "the best in the room" at a smaller company and I can imagine them …

Read a fantastic book that makes the case for 'composite cognitive processes' called "Self Comes to Mind". It touches upon the composite nature of sight and other senses and functi…

It's all carved up for farming. This was the norm in my home state (Iowa). They're all gravel roads mind you, so not ideal driving if you don't live there. You kick up dust the who…

Maybe. A challenge in birding is getting close enough to look at things without scaring them away. The thing about both crows and ravens is they are (relatively) unafraid of humans…

I gave the original NYT article a read when it was published and I have no idea how it could have been approved outside of the opinion section. Really shameful to present the obvio…

I'll take the bait. Ravens' beaks are hooked s.t. the top curves slightly around the bottom, an over beak if you will. The crow's beak is roughly conical and does not hook in this …

This has really got me thinking about the hidden costs of having one high tech device that does everything. Like, I wonder if someone is running ML models on all of our sleeping ha…

You could break the safe with a hammer or by smashing it on the ground, as others have mentioned. You know though, you are mostly using the safe in your own home or office, for inc…

Along these lines, I just purchased a low tech solution called a KSafe for personal use and I love it. It's basically a safe with a timer and no override, so you can say, lock up f…

I'm probably making assumptions, so I'd like to clarify, which government prohibited travel to such a degree? In the my US Midwest jurisdiction, the truly restrictive lockdowns clo…

> logging is an anti-pattern Tell me you're still seeking product market fit without telling me you're still seeking product market fit

Is it better to say nothing, or to meet each other -- those with differing views -- at the margins? Certainly some of the staff at SA seem to have read it.
