Funny that as Discord releases a light theme, Slack releases a dark theme. But in seriousness, does Slack really have any value proposition over Discord beyond Screen Hero these da…

Yeah, I've been making that argument since Musk and Bezos first announced their intentions (though I usually used terraforming Arizona as an example as that state has become one of…

Yeah I personally stopped buy chicken years ago for mostly ethical reasons but I think Costco getting into the chicken game will probably be a net positive. Reason being that for o…

> just because it's inconvenient for you doesn't make it their obligation to stop Yeah, the thing is, having to cancel services tends to be inconvenient by nature. Usually when som…

I was using Ubuntu exclusively for around a decade too. It's a great development environment. But about a year ago I needed a new laptop and with the one I purchased, some things d…

Could you expand on what you mean by "seen multiple friend's mental health deteriorate"? Also don't be so quick to assume there's a legitimate correlation... it could be sampling/o…

This. Trying to make the software "theirs" seems to be an issue at Google, at least with their open source software and has seemed to have lead to it being less reliable. For examp…

Eh... There was a toll lane added from just outside Boulder part way to Denver. This has not generated more traffic, but it has generally speed up the road (sometimes to an undesir…

I use Trello to stay on task, easy to manage daily to-do lists while being able to just push everything to the next day and also managing long-term lists. It lets you comment, add …

Hey sorry for the delay, it was at the end of the second tutorial "Our First Neural Net!" I think you were instructing us to try testing the outputs for the other sets in the train…

Sorry I didn't see this immediately, I don't think that downloading the next episode is a dark pattern in and of itself. But I do think downloading the next app over mobile when th…

Yeah definitely. When I said "a desktop" I was trying to say pretty much any desktop, even you mom's 15 year old Dell Dimension desktop, which many phones these days are more power…

I think you're missing a lot of what contributed to Fortnite's success. Namely their ripping off of pretty much every one of Valve's most lucrative decisions of the past 10 years a…

Netflix seems like its just a dishonest company. I had been a customer of theirs for years, starting with the DVD rental. After a while they started adding the streaming content wh…

It's incredible. The last company I worked for before going it alone (I was the front-end engineer and moved away from ML based business models) was trying to automate statistical …

Hey Axel! Just started watching but the interactive guide is incredible. It's like having Screenhero with a private tutor. Only thing is, I kind of wish there were something like t…

I'm an Eagle Scout too and I guess I don't really have a strong opinion because scouting here in CO is fundamentally different in my eyes than what I grew up with in CA. In my troo…

Based on personal experience, I doubt $50k in credit card debt was what was planned for and probably came out of necessity to finish the thing. Fund-raising takes a lot of mental s…

Nothing about the Boy Scouts is really gender specific, beyond their requirement to be male that's set to be amended in February. I don't understand how "Scouts BSA" is a violation…

Also, reading the study further: despite the fact that the author of the article may have been paraphrasing a statement in the abstract conclusion, the study seems to mostly underm…

This is based off a study as reported by parents of teens "caregiver estimates", not the teens themselves or something potentially even more accurate like Fitbit data. Just because…
