I love the ideas presented, and it really highlights how current IDE's have removed power from users. I think (from only reading and watching some videos) that this Glamorous Toolk…

I loved this quote: "This is why people join companies and quit managers." You'd think that directors or VPs would carefully look into why someone is quitting, if it's because of t…

I've been enjoying the Machine Learning Street Talk podcast, they talk to real practioners on real topics.

My son just had one, and they said they found nothing. But looking around, apparently most sleep studies in USA just look for sleep apnea. By default they don't actually look for a…

Yeah, Selenium is pretty flakey. I've been pretty happy with https://playwright.dev . Kind of the successor of puppeteer. At least, some of the same devs went from Google to MS. He…

I'm gonna guess they have a bit of oppositional defiance disorder. I'd probably try to change teams because that's not going to change.

I've been using https://github.com/vimoutliner/vimoutliner for about a decade, everywhere I work. Just text files with simple Ascii checkboxes.

Congrats to them. Let's hope it doesn't destabilize the product too much.

I've been using https://github.com/vimoutliner/vimoutliner for a decade now. It works well. It's so easy to backup, since it's just text files. And you can just use grep and other …

I love all Aldi's! The main reasons are : 1. Time - I can be in and out in 10 minutes. 2. Prices - the prices are about 20 to 30% cheaper then the other major grocery chain near me…

I've had good experience calling the business-side part of CRA, though I think they're small enough that they're a different beast from the department that has to handle all generi…

This is the Identity Theft sketch -- love it!

Yeah, that's a great point -- especially for older people, you have to tell doctors all supplements you take, because some can affect how fast your blood will clot. For instance, I…

I really hate zero-sum thinking. It's true, if we were stuck on this ball of dirt forever, and technology is stagnant, then yes we should conserve a lot. But we're not stuck here (…

I can actually confirm this -- my father served in WWII (but in the Army), and he came back with this skill to fall asleep quickly. I, sadly, don't really have it. But this article…

I read most of it. I suppose if you're interested in IOTA you should read it, it puts IOTA in a terrible light. Check this out: Ethan (MIT): > I am shocked that you would call a ha…

At the least, we'll need some kind of overseer for what these "AI"s are doing. These people will need strong analytical abilities, and the ability to deal with various levels of ab…

I believe this is a PR piece for FB -- in the end, ignoring the details, this piece leaves you feeling that 1) FB cares about people and 2) FB cares about America. I'm not buying t…

Buckyballs! I still have some, bought when they were legal in the U.S. They're pretty strong magnets and stick together and you can make shapes with them. Only problem -- if a litt…

I think one problem we have is that to those people, the future of computers was a blank slate -- sure they had computers back then, but the industry was tiny compared to what it i…
