    Same for me. As a sound engineer turned programmer I can not listen to any music as background. My mind instantly jumps into analyzing every sound. Regarding playing games - I thin…

    That’s an unusual way to summarize Sunny’s life in the context of this ruling. Judging his personal choices as wins/fails while he is being sentenced for a massive financial and me…

    This definitely does not mean what you think it means. Owning a large car for work doesn’t mean it’s utilized as such. I know people who own trucks and large SUVs for work - but it…

    > if A made B and B made C, who made A? All right. So if god made A, who made god?

    Agreed. This take is really shallow. Calling Dawkins, Hitchens, Harris Islamophobes is an attempt to shut down the conversation about the shortcomings of Islam, or any other religi…

    According to Wikipedia, Meta started exploring crypto as early as 2017. So ending the effort in 2022 after several rebrandings and a huge legal pushback is fairly expected.

    I am not sure there is a void in the crypto space that otherwise would have been filled by Novi. Even a more centralized (federated?) coin like that would still inherit major short…

    Which category? Adobe is not even close to being the leader in the CMS category. WP, Wix, Squarespace, Joomla!, Shopify… how does Adobe fit here?

    I contested the cancellation fee in PayPal and Adobe didn’t bother to respond, so the case was auto-resolved in my favor. Since then I switched to PixelmatorPro and it works for al…

    According to that graph 2020 usage is almost identical to 2003. So the only significant drop happened between 2002 and 2003. Not to nitpick, just to emphasize that the missing data…

    What is the dish in this analogy? Plant Earth or Mitt Romney?

    I find this very hard to believe. Do you have any links to official state data?

    Just google “front-end tools” and look at the few top results. There are many tools for front-end development that are not build tools or have to run on the server.

    Does Flutter still render everything in a canvas? This has been a huge turn off for me.

    Front-end tooling that I have to run on the server? Even people familiar with the JS ecosystem might be confused by that.

    What’s the context? What is the research of? Is consent required / has it been received? Is this a common practice? Is it common to sell non-fetal tissue for research purposes? Etc…

    Context matters. It is a non-trivial issue when used in the context of terminating early pregnancy. Manipulating a teenager by telling her that she is a mother and she shouldn’t ki…

    I am arguing that using more emotionally charged language like “baby” and “mother” in place of a “fetus” and “pregnant woman” is manipulative.

    Being pregnant does not make you a mother.

    To be fair, some more expensive clothes have a much better fit. I have been buying $150 jeans most of my adult life and recently read a comment on Reddit that expressed disbelief t…

    I don't disagree, just noticed that many comments missed this detail about the feed showing reports for user's favorite trails, not some random irrelevant content.

    Not to justify author's UX choices, but he does mention that the feed shows reports from the trails the user follows. It's not a list of random trail reports, there is some logic b…
