This article is kind of playful, but I think there’s a serious point here that’s not discussed enough. We’re being asked to usher in huge productivity gains by introducing AI to ou…

No way, this is terrible! There are so many great work tracking tools to use or more efficient ways to communicate that accomplish the same thing. Without making a bunch of people …

Two-way props! Yikes! That was a mess in the first version of Angular. I thought the consensus was that two-way props binding just opened the door to difficult to understand side-e…

Hero. So tired of seeing drivers swerve around at deadly speeds on the highway while they play around on their phones. I would contribute to a Gofundme to help this guy pay off the…

Doesn’t this only really affect actual Arduino brand products. There’s tons of just-as-good cheap knockoffs available. See Elegoo kits easily found on Amazon for example. The IDE i…

Use cash. Get cash out at the ATM, keep it in your wallet. Spend it at local businesses. Even if you can’t do it all the time do it as much as you can. Start today and stick with i…

Doesn’t sound that profitable to me. $7m is a lot of money. But not that much after building all of that custom tech, setting up a dedicated space, training and paying a whole bunc…

I think lot of this brand analysis misses an important point… This change makes the real estate these locations occupy much more fungible. Instead of customized old-timey looking s…

Wow! “built in torch” immediately puts this one ahead of all other competition I’ve seen so far. Not even kidding.

Thank you! That was the most memorable part of the article for me. Can’t get the phrase “Nose Beard” out of my head.

Sausage and pancakes are ones and zeroes, I guess?

People seem confused about the UI. You don't need to click, just move. Most keys on the keyboard correspond to a color. Shift + those keys sets the background. I like it that there…

I found it very satisfying when the opponent got a question wrong. Math is hard, even when you’re an awesome monster like a flying snake or black hole. I didn’t understand the “cha…

The hint about using .pluck to only grab what you need from an ActiveRecord query is a pretty good one. I hand't realized you could do that. I assume this is telling us it doesn't …

I miss Drupal a lot. I sure wish it had won out in the CMS battle with Wordpress. I remember making little custom CRUD apps with almost no code all the way back when Drupal 5 was t…

Good point. Meta's brand identity is pretty much the blue you picked. I see your marker color is exactly the hex value for blue that's on most of their website. I think you could g…

Super cool! I love this. Makes me yearn for a day when this map is way more full of activity. Just a little feedback: the color for Amtrak and for Chicago's Metra trains are so sim…

Depends on what your definition of senior engineer is... For me it means you've spent a lot of time coding and mastered a few programming languages. You're able to make use of all …

I like Terraform and will continue to use it. I'm just an end user that isn't involved in building other product offerings on it or a user of other derivative products. Even though…

No! Don't do it! I'm sure there are rare cases where these techniques are useful. Like creating developer tools or making your own object persistence layer or winning a code golf c…

How do they decide where to use the little letters in these acronyms? Seems like it should either be HDR-NRF or something like HiDR-NeRF. Come on folks. Naming consistency, please.…

I believe that laundering licensed or copyrighted content for reuse that fails to recognize the original authors or usage restrictions is likely to be one of the biggest commercial…

Was this written by a large language model? Meandering narrative and logic tenuously connecting related topics rather than a clear thesis and orderly presentation of evidence seems…

A lot of what we call "human intelligence" and "consciousness" derives directly from the fact that we live in bodies made of meat which we have to constantly eat food to maintain. …
