I know you are right, but there just aren't enough hours in the day to fight against every injustice or underhanded business tactic. Plus it takes a toll on my mental health to obs…

I vaguely recall a news article about some company, I want to say Apple but I'm not sure, patenting a process to use the camera to track your eyes to verify you're actually watchin…

Roku makes me so sad. They had a product I really enjoyed using and admired them for making. Then slowly over the years they keep becoming more intrusive with their ads and more in…

We are using Amplify and I can't agree enough with this. The gen 1 to gen 2 migration docs are literally: just stay on gen 1.

What was the source data here? It seems like a lot of the graphs are just the author's intuitive feel rather than being backed by any sort of hard data. Did I miss it in there some…

"I stopped checking Facebook so frequently." "I probably managed 4-6 hours a day". Sounds like a real A player.

Another day, another article where Vox is hating on OpenAI.

First time in a long time I kind of wish I had a Windows machine to try this out.

Yeah, but their platform is basically a janky PDF parser which is why I don't understand what the hype is about. It's easy to cherry pick a PDF for marketing purposes and claim you…

Hmm, I have to say I'm pretty unimpressed with my initial experience here. 1. The sign up with email just endlessly redirected, click link in email, ask to sign up with email, put …

Personally, I have always struggled to find enjoyment and meaning while working at a big company so I would ask yourself if a big company is right for you. If you decide to stay, t…

You can't have someone be an effective leader in the company who doesn't believe in the mission anymore. As the leader now, you need to give them the speech that as you build this …

Is there a link without a paywall?

So, X is starting to show ads without labeling them as ads? One more reason to not use Twitter.

I know they don't rely on GPL much, but what does the ruling here suggest for OSS foundations like Apache and CNCF? Specifically this part: only the author can initiate the lawsuit…

Wow, sorry for trying to show some encouragement for someone online. Screw me right?

Wow, 40kbs is fantastic progress! Congrats to your wife. I've lost around 15 lbs by run/walking on the treadmill every day. I started at around 20 minutes/day, now I'm up 30-45 min…

Nope, just me. As someone who also struggles to lose weight I am tired of hearing about Keto and Paleo. I would be thrilled to be down 55 lbs. Sorry if it sounded insincere.

I was expecting this to end with the usual "using this to treat patients in clinical settings is at least 10 years away" (read: probably never) but this one is actually available n…

Wow, congratulations! 55 lbs is a lot of weight to lose. Your approach of gradual changes and focusing on caloric deficit is refreshing compared to the extreme diets and fad-based …

Why does it seem like the average American doesn't care at all about exactly how much sway corporate interests hold in our government? Boeing's influence on politicians and regulat…

> When the rover had an issue they actually used the helicoptor's userspace command line GNU utilities to debug and get logs from the rover to send to Earth. Wow, such a great test…

It's frustrating to see these updates that feel like a step back rather than an improvement. Why remove useful features and irritate your users? Guess this lets Google lay off more…

Reading this, it really makes me wonder how content creators will adapt in the AI era. Even if LLMs can't reproduce their content word for word, I find myself going to ChatGPT more…
