What are the tasks where it falls short?

My gf has a migraine head and she’s tried going decaf but it just doesn’t work. Apparently caffeine does a lot to reduce the risk of migraines? So I’d probably just try to lower th…

I went to the US recently and was fully prepared to drink caffeine on the trip because of all the cool coffee shops and roasters. But I was amazed that decaf was basically a first-…

I’ve switched to decaf full time and a my generalised anxiety basically went away. I love coffee and still drink it ritualistically. I probably drink more coffee now, at all hours …

My (swedish) grandfather keeps falling for these Meta scams. Scrolling through his feed is insane and disgusting. So many ads that mimick OS alerts saying storage is low, insane am…

Pet peave: don’t have a massive button for dark mode, just listen for the OS setting.

Oh wow someone hosted my code on a separate domain? Weird!

Just reading about this person, why's he your hero?

Is this still a thing in Swift? I loved Swift 1, spent a couple of days upgrading to Swift 2, a week or more for Swift 3. At that point I just switched to React Native. I understan…

I don’t remember the onboarding (ironically :) but once you get in the UX is really nice and perfect for what it does. Maybe it won’t win Apple design awards, but I’m just here for…

This app does a terrific job of teaching memory palaces. Ironically it’s made by the guy in the background of the article image. https://memoryos.com/

As the owner of an RSS reader I love that they are making this more public. 30% of our support requests are ”my feed doesn’t” work. It sucks that the only thing we can say is ”cont…

Astra is barely holding on by a thread though. Their main hope of survival is their hall-effect propulsion engines.

He got me started down the rabbit hole. Now I have a cheese cave, homemade cheese press and a fridge full of cultures. Still haven’t mastered mozarella though…

That’s what I ended up using: passenger_env_var RUBY_YJIT_ENABLE 1;

Yes, I'm pretty sure because: 1. Compiled with jyjit confrmed (ruby --yjit) returns the correct value 2. RubyVM::YJIT.enabled? returned true I didn't notice any improvements at bas…

Yes, I'm pretty sure because: 1. Compiled with jyjit confrmed (ruby --yjit) returns the correct value 2. RubyVM::YJIT.enabled? returned true But the information available on how to…

I'm pretty sure (there isn't a lot of info on how to enable it in production workloads) we're running YJIT in production and didn't notice any improvement in load times, CPU usage …

The launch vehicles listed in the parent comment have never flown. Rocketlab do have a lot of experience launching its smaller vehicle, Electron.

This article about fundamental principles thinking and just asking ”why?” until you’re at the base of the tree was super helpful for me in finding my fundamental driving force. htt…

As someone working on a massive migration from MV2 to MV3 (where the benefit to the user will be minimal) it does feel like browser makers are waging war against us extension devel…

Yes, and if the data isn’t secret the number of things you can do with this data is limited. It’s like security by obscurity in reverse.

And it is. Newspapers do this all the time. "These people earn the most in your neighbourhood!" "These people earned the most in Sweden!" "This 1 27 year old earned THIS MUCH... An…

As a Swede I love this openness. It puts everyone on an a level playing field and makes it much less dramatic and reduces the value of the data.

What in your life or your personality changed? What have been the real effects on your life from this? Did you switch career paths, stopped being depressed, made a big move, stoppe…
