Chicago is letting the ShotSpotter contract expire instead renewing this year after the data revealed that it did not have any positive effect on crime reduction. https://www.yahoo…

I had almost forgotten about Tumbleleaf. Such a gem of a show. The submarine episodes really stand out.

Rain one of my favorite episodes. The amount of story packed into 8 minutes with just music and animation is so good.

It's a great show that demonstrates how to play with your kids. Though I do appreciate the episodes where the parents are exhausted, or must do chores, instead of playing with thei…

Driving around the midwest in the winter time I find I get about 200 miles to the full charge. The cold weather, increased wind speeds, and need to run the heater all eat into the …

I've owned a Model Y for about a year now, and range anxiety isn't a big deal on road trips as long as you're using the built in nav for your destination. The nav calculated estima…

I'm not even sure why college students would need dating apps. You are in a relatively dense environment surrounded by people your own age, in a similar phase of life. You have to …

I've encountered this situation in multiple projects where style lint was enabled, with only the defaults, and passed the linter without issue. Tailwind is seeing steadily increasi…

Oy. I read this exact same part of the post and my head tilted sideways as I tried to figure out if this was satire or not. Velocity is useful as a team measure, for the team to ta…

It looks like Apollo is going to have to go paid only as well: https://www.reddit.com/r/apolloapp/comments/12ram0f/had_a_fe... I think the post about RedReader brings up the critic…

This seems logical. The software engineers are likely going to be some of the highest paid employees, so laying off underperforming engineers is going to help reduce labor costs su…

Before a rewrite in Java around 2009, MapQuest ran on AOLserver. Tcl was a bit of a surprise to me, and struck me as a very powerful dynamic language. If AOL had open sourced it so…

At the end of the day most of the moderately priced furniture from IKEA is actually pretty good. When looking for some new living room chairs we visited 2-3 local furniture stores …

Employees who were hired remote and have no office within a reasonable distance should absolutely force Amazon to terminate their employment so they can collect unemployment. Amazo…

You're not missing the point, though maybe it won't go as badly for a older company like GM. I got to witness this failed strategy first hand at AOL around 2010. The people who opt…

When talk about Medicare they are usually talking about Part A (hospital care) and Part B (provider coverage), and sometimes Part D (prescription drug coverage). You are on your ow…

tl;dr Acquihire founder is shocked when the giant behemoth that did the acquisition is motivated to protect its billions of quarterly profit at the expense of empowering all the br…

I did not renew my Prime membership this year after Amazon raised the annual price again. We have too many streaming services in our house as it is, and we don't order enough from …

When you cut out 90 minutes of commuting a day it's pretty great to be able to do school drop-off, pickup, and help your kids with homework after school. I think there's a lot of v…

That's kinda the whole point of being salaried though isn't it? (At least for those of us in the US.) You are an exempt employee as defined by US labor law. You aren't required to …
