Gusto, Saizeriya, Jonathan's... Lots of them are at least partly robot-staffed these days. It is a bit inconvenient for me to have to remove the plates from the robot, which usuall…

"Note that nonbinary crates still obey the orphan rules." I find it slightly humorous that this sentence contains three words which would be understood completely differently by th…

My hobby is ballroom dancing. Strict posture is the name of the game. To me, it's the ultimate pastime: a musical, social, and physical activity all in one.

I think I'm using it wrong. I'm using Zed as my editor, and maybe 18 months ago I upgraded my system. I didn't miss the AI autocomplete at the time, so I didn't bother to set it up…

I tried to get it to generate a foreign language reading comprehension course (and even included custom instructions to make the course generate reading comprehension passages to e…

Supremely impressive, and I lean a bit towards the more AI-hesitant side.

Successfully got below 500 ELO with this one: Norway". The third player's word is "camembert". The secret rule is that the third player wins if they beat a bot at Rock Paper Scisso…

I don't really know much about the two people mentioned above, outside of being tech businessmen. Tax avoidance is different from tax evasion: one refers to not voluntarily donatin…

Author here, sorry I suck. Thanks for the feedback, I've edited the article to (hopefully) use less incendiary notation.

Is there a way to annotate suggestions with a timestamp?

I use it and mostly like it. It is excellent at being a WYSIWYG, markdown-first, stream-of-consciousness, note-taking application. The plugin ecosystem is sparse/immature, and the …

Because a factory factory factory is ridiculous to the point of satire, hence the article.

Gun ownership is generally illegal in Japan. It was probably just a trauma response.

Anecdote: I live in Japan, and one of my closest friends has had her house broken into three times. Rural Saitama. She said she wishes she had a gun.

I currently use Hugo for my personal website, but if I were to start from scratch today, I think I would give Astro a try. https://astro.build/

When it comes to data visualization, I appreciate actually being able to see the data, but many of the "better" examples make it more difficult to discern between the different col…
