I have a Lelit Elizabeth. It’s a dual-boiler machine, so you can pull a shot and steam milk at the same time. If you want consistently good coffee without going too far down the es…

"think" is doing a lot of heavy lifting in that sentence. Are the people really thinking? I don't think they are.

Some unsolicited feedback: I think the appRoute macro obfuscates the types and signatures, and introduces some unnecessary indirection. I would get rid of it. Related, the AppConte…

"I didn't ask for this!"

If you can shine lasers at them to etch out a chip trace, then you can shine lasers to carve up the chip. Just use stronger lasers.

I’d be interested.

Typical watch based sleep trackers and even my Withings sleep pad can’t really track my sleep properly, particularly REM sleep. I think I move too much. I bought a Dreem2 EEG devic…

Flip side to this, is I’ve had Carpal Tunnel for a while now, had surgery 2 years ago. It’s somewhat better and I am now active at the gym and in general it has helped a lot but ex…

I honestly find this quite sad. Dude should have lived his own life, but instead lived in the shadow of his father.

It seems the notions of accountability and responsibility have broken down when it comes to AI. Any given AI should have clear lines of delegated responsibility from an accountable…

Hard disagree. I’m browsing the internet not surfing the Information Super Highway. Mainstream media needs to rely less on allegory once technology becomes mainstream.

100%. You can pry my people skills from my cold dead hands.

Storybook is one of those projects, like Postman, that has completely lost the plot. It's unclear what objectives they are pursuing but in terms of developer experience they seem i…

> that eventually disrupted the market leadership of Intel’s 64-bit Itanium chips Erm, Itanium never had any kind of market leadership. It was a failure.

Whoah! I was just thinking "aren't these things all colourised by a human and largely fake", I was especially thinking about the starbusts and you just blew my mind. Thank you! Do …

If you're new to lifting, your form is likely to be terrible, it's easy to do some damage to your lower back and knees.

Natalie Portman says yes, and instructs you to put some hot grits down your pants.

That's really interesting, re. ligaments. Can you point to any resources around that, so I can learn more?

I loved it to. I'd love to make a typed coffeescript variant, which transpiles to TypeScript rather than JavaScript. My pet name for this is `tycoscript`.

Off topic, but the drop-off in searches during pandemic seems to indicate how little work people actually did whilst working from home...it's quite surprising.

Everyone always seems to jump from general schemes (road tax, fuel duty) to Orwellian tracking (GPS everywhere). Seems like a simple scheme of mileage tracking and net charge track…

I did the same for a CQRS system. It's been humming away in production for at least 6 years. I've been surprised at how reliable it's been, 0 patch bugs.

Not yet, a note on the Memory instructions [1] still says: “Future version of WebAssembly might provide memory instructions with 64 bit address ranges.” [1] https://www.w3.org/TR/w…

I called the right a bunch of nationalist hypocrites!! I wasn’t trying to be kind to them, I agree they are doing identity politics too. I am claiming that is the left that more pr…

The left has already gone too far, in my view. From a free speech perspective the right seems to be more pro-principle and less identity-based cancellation hysteria, but they do so…
