I think generally the opposite is true. A place with bad coffee but great decor can charge the same as a place with good coffee but crappy everything else. And so to maximize profi…

I actually wanted it to play them as it went, so that it would be each time through, with the former shrinking and the latter growing.

It does look terrible, but I haven't found it to be unstable, personally

I use it regularly when driving an unfamiliar car. I also don’t think it’s ambiguous: it’s a drawing of a gas pump and an arrow telling you where it should be from here, which is a…

In 2004 or so, 1.00 was an intro to Java course. I took it very cynically to pad out my units; I was a course 6 senior at the time. I got side-eyed by TAs a lot.

You need to read their entire comment as a joke.

Another one is, believe it or not, trees: https://eukaryotewritesblog.com/2021/05/02/theres-no-such-th...

Luxon author here. Obviously I (and many others!) put a lot into Luxon, but only because it seemed so useful. Now that it's hopefully becoming obsolete, I get to look at it fondly …

In the US too. Every family I know has a little balance bike for their toddlers

Putting aside all the sleazy parts for a moment, there is some good advice on actually writing a cold outreach email. But this part seems mistaken, or at least would be if I were y…

I don’t get it. The document setting out this fact is the license, which also tells them they’re allowed to use it at all. The MIT license is short and simple and very explicit abo…

Seems like it enables you do things like use git repos as per-customer or per-some-business-object storage, which you otherwise wouldn't even consider. Like imagine you were settin…

I notice this one a lot. My sense of time is attached to how much I’ve changed, and my rate of change—-at least for music consumption—-attenuates as I age, dilating time. A couple …

It’s loud enough you hear earlier repetitions as a vague buzz in the distance, then crescendoing to a blare on your block, then receding with agonizing slowness like some hellish e…

I don't see why the security question answer has to be stored in the clear. If you have to give it over the phone, the agent can type it into a form field that hashes it and compar…

The “why not” form just seems to be a special case of “explain why this code is weird”, which is my commenting metric in its entirety

Instead of patronizingly giving women a false hero, instead introduce them to a real one: Klara Von Neumann (yes, that Von Neumann) who was the first coder for what we might recogn…

To have all these thoughts, I think you'd have to have never really used an LLM to help you code, or to be almost comically closed-minded when you do. What they feel like when you …

thanks!

I'm interested, specifically with the vim keybindings, which would make getting started with it much easier for me.

I don’t really mind paying for SSO. It’s fine. But I hate that it’s the one feature in the “enterprise” tier that I need, and now I have to talk to a sales rep and sign a contract.…

FWIW, it worked fine on my phone. Brave on an iPhone

It’s like wordle: different word every day and everyone gets it. At least that’s what the text says once you get it.

Helps keep everyone on the same frequency

It wastes a fair amount of your time blabbing on about this cartoonishly evil company, but that evil company has no real effect on the gameplay, so it's just distracting and irrita…
