I don’t go there more than once a week anymore because there isn’t a good mobile app. I previously doomscrolled Reddit for a couple of hours each day. It’s been great for me!

Ah, a fellow frequent flyer, I see? I don't really have a horse in this race, but Microsoft turning Azure credits into Skymiles would really be something. I wonder if they can do t…

That is an amazing story. And you know that because of you, that person probably still calls their browser “the internet” because you showed them how to get to google. I can’t imag…

Click on start. Yeah that’s in the bottom left. Yup that one. Then look for settings. No the word settings. Has a little arrow next to it. Yeah hit that. It didn’t do anything? Wai…

This is unlocking memories for me. I think we used to tell folks something like "If it's under $50 and Walmart sells it, that's a winmodem" or something like that. In theory, one o…

> Unsure if our go-external plan made sense or not (does an internal hardware modem run its own UART or communicate over ISA to the board's serial port?). Internal hardware modems …

There needs to be a special kind of therapist for people like us.

This was definitely when tech support could still be fun. We didn't have tiers or scripts or anything, just a handful of people on shift answering calls. You kind of loved when you…

Yeah, in the case of winmodems/softmodems, it was because A is cheaper. Or, at least, you could externalize the costs. In our case, we technically did not support your hardware - y…

I was doing dialup internet support when these things hit the market. What a fucking mess. It’s 25 years later and I still get anxious when the phone rings, because my brain thinks…

Was that what Breather tried to do?

I’m in my 40s so Google wasn’t my first search engine but it’s definitely been what I’ve used the most. And I do think it has changed similar how to you describe it. But I see the …

The convention when flattening is exactly that I thought - an underscore per level of nesting. This is what I would expect to see too.

I built an app for myself that I’ve been considering rolling out as a product. It’s built around SMS because I will always look at a text message but app notifications are constant…

The headline immediately reminded me of the Juicero. How can they advertise on-device if they’re immediately sending your data elsewhere?

> An airbnb for hotdesk coworking WeWork was just ahead of their time!

How did they burn that much cash in a year?

No. But my AI will hang out on the Japanese internet for you.

That looks great but it needs to not cost $1300. Seems like their use case is conference rooms but I’d love for remote folks with their own whiteboards to have this.

I was going to post something similar and then saw yours, and it was better. We can add that math is language, and sometimes language describes things that are real, and sometimes …

These statements are not mutually exclusive. Tech workers deserve higher salaries for the value they provide. And the market is to some extent manipulated, or we wouldn’t see massi…

I imagine there would be plenty of folks willing to come over if the wages at least got into the ballpark of the US. My impression is that the visa/residency process isn’t too oner…

Completely disagree. Some folks are brilliant but aren’t going to function well in group settings all of the time. You still need to find a way to listen to what they have to say, …

Im surprised a seat comes standard in a Porsche.

My child is 11 and starting middle school next year (US). They walk to and from school. They have an iPad and a PC at home, with a lot of freedom, but I also have pretty solid DNS …
