I found myself looking for vimtutor-like text-based tutorials, and threw this together to make them easy to make, with or without the benefit of source material. I don’t think the …

There is a whole hierarchy of right of way on the water, but a better rule of thumb is that the less maneuverable boat generally has priority. https://www.whoi.edu/wp-content/uploa…

I agree with you, the earlier post says people only do things out of self-interest, and I was surprised that nobody else had disagreed or mentioned it’s an unfortunate way to see t…

You don’t think people ever do the right thing just because it’s the right thing?

One nice thing about designers is their tie-breaking ability for non-designers. Design, being something we all think we’re right about, is easy to lose lots of time going back and …

This seems like short-run thinking winning. I don’t want to have to think about if companies I interact with are going to slowly diminish the product. This sort of thing undermines…

There are all sorts of games brands/retailers play with these. It also wouldn’t surprise me at all if Walmart avoided language that went as far as collusion, but did make clear the…

It’s pretty common for there to be a ‘minimum advertised price’ (MAP) where a brand can cut retailers off if they advertise a price below it - this is why so many stores will have …

It’s a fun/NP-hard problem, this take on it ended up being useful: https://github.com/stephaniemhutson/BoxPackingAPI/blob/maste... https://medium.com/the-chain/solving-the-box-sele…

The article mentions that memories are maintained - I didn’t see a source, but here is an article about it: https://www.newscientist.com/article/dn13412-butterflies-rem...

I’m not an expert, but it was about the size + hairiness that I associate with bees.

A question for any bee experts: there have been a few times I’ve been eating a sandwich or sushi in a nearby park in NY, and a bee has flown over, found the meat in whatever I’m ea…

There was a line from Jeff Bezos, ""One of the early examples of this is customer reviews. Someone wrote to me and said, 'You don't understand your business. You make money when yo…

It's an interesting question. If the fraud were evenly spread out, and if all advertisers had the same goal, the equilibrium bid just adjusts for less valuable clicks/interaction/e…

I hope not - for projects with any complexity, knowing I’ve got a checkpoint means I don’t need to think hard about doing risky things. I wonder if Microsoft keeps stats on how man…

Thanks for being so responsive - I'm on Safari version 15.3 (17612.4.9.1.8), on Mac OS 12.2.1 (21D62)

Agreed with your comments on muscle memory and very cool project overall. An issue keeping me from wanting to use this: holding down the directional keys doesn't move the cursor mu…

Glad it was interesting! I’d realized the part referenced was a while in, so wasn’t sure if anyone would want to read that far to get to it.

I think this is overall very accurate and owning one’s own onboarding is a productive framing. For the content of the introductory meetings, beyond a beginner’s mindset, I’ve found…

Sorry to break this, Roku is about as bad for ad data sharing / tracking: https://advertising.roku.com/advertiser-solutions/oneview - any time you hear things like ‘full funnel att…

Thank you, hope all goes well! My dad has had a easy enough time of it, I mainly hear about how it’s time-consuming to photograph everything.

Squarespace is fairly good for this - I made a website for my parents' pottery that you can see here: https://thebyersstudio.com . It's nice in that it's made for non-technical use…
