It’s one of several factors that could mean the prices seen by the median person looking for a house are worse than that 4% median house price increase suggests. To take it to an e…

> The boomers had everything worse. When they were born, something like two thirds of them had indoor plumbing. And a third of them did not. Yeah, I know, I’ve hand-pumped water at…

Yeah, if urbanism/centralization (of where people live and also the economy) increased over the same period, the raw figures may give a misleading picture of what things are really…

Yeah, to be clear, I don’t mean that as a “them damned boomers!” post. They’re not to blame for circumstances conspiring to put life on (relatively) easy mode for them. If they’re …

My dad (high school diploma) blundered through his 20s with a series of gigs and barely-paying-the-bills solo businesses, had an expensive divorce (kids in the mix, too), a kid out…

Could’ve sworn (HBO) Max and Disney don’t work through it, either.

The big one-step-forward-five-steps-back UI redesign was before the acquisition, wasn’t it?

I clicked because I was excited to see the story of their unexpected interaction with the FCC and FAA (or local equivalents) due to putting out that much EM radiation in those spec…

This is not, cannot be, and shouldn’t be math. Yes, it’s all “arbitrary”. Unhealthy impulse-items at the checkout are going to be regarded as quite unethical, by a lot of people, f…

One normal human with 24 hours in a day losing 45ish hours a week to pull median income and another 8ish per day to sleep versus multibillion dollar companies hiring behavioral psy…

If one course of action that does not even add more options of products to buy , just pushes them in a different way, contributes to worse health outcomes across a population, and …

I’d happily pay $50/m for a streaming service with a single UI that had all the shit my piracy server does, and a guarantee that things won’t disappear (or at least a track record …

Lots of the genre TV shows these days—like the Netflix Marvel stuff, or most of the Star Wars or Disney Marvel tv shows—can only be saved by fan edits because of the absurdly slow …

The ethical distance between this and littering is about as large as the one between littering and murder, though. If it’s unethical, it’s somewhere around running a stoplight that…

My primary use of Docker is as an isolated-installation package manager that’s portable cross-distro and cross-distro-version with exceptionally well-documented and easy-to-test co…

Well—T-shirts did start out as underwear.

My favorite thing about Go is that I can read a dependency’s source and there’s a very low probability that the author favors some totally different 30% of the language than I’m ac…

If the startup’s too small or too distributed, may not be available. 50 employees within 75 miles or it doesn’t apply.

Yep, that’s the one

A lot like Melancholia . Or that one short story about discovering the light of another star was about to reach us… and getting the predictions of its intensity very wrong.

Great to have two “work trees” when you’re often called in to troubleshoot or help with other branches. Sometimes handy during merges, too.

What’s… the EM there to do?

One of the episodes of Stranger Things took like a one-minute break to do a soda ad. Probably the most jarring and disruptive “produce placement” (but really, it was more of an emb…

You can check out multiple branches in different directories from a single git repo. This saves me a lot of what used to be stashing.

It appears to be in a browser, which really shouldn’t be providing enough info to make this possible. I take it as a commentary on how information-leaky browsers are, though I’m no…
