Yeah I think that was one of the vapourware features that Apple showed in an advert a couple of years ago, right?

Love this site. Bought their app a couple of years ago and started learning knots by tying them over and over on repeat during zoom meetings with a couple of lengths of paracord. S…

Aw man, I love sowing but hate reaping.

If they're actual movie reviewers then their job is to go see films regardless of whether they think they'd personally enjoy them. Some of the best reviews come from reviewers who …

Regardless of the introduction of sycophantic reviewers, the 3/5 = fresh thing has always been a pretty half-ass threshold imo, and that a fact that a film can be "100% fresh" on R…

Gonna drop a classic curmudgeonly HN comment here but the first thing that happens when you open that link is you get a pop up that asks you if you want to go somewhere else instea…

The killer these days is places demanding your email prior to giving you a shipping estimate. Particularly annoying if you live somewhere where shipping costs vary greatly between …

There’s a museum built a few years ago in regional Australia that was also designed with bushfire resistance in mind. https://www.australiangeographic.com.au/topics/history-cultu..…

Good articulation of some of the potential issues with an approach like this from an independent who originally supported the bill but voted against it https://www.theguardian.com/…

Previously used mdx-deck but it’s no longer developed. Tried the Marp CLI for the first time the other day and it did the job.

The thing that I’ve seen my team use it most for is explaining blocks of code. We maintain a bunch of legacy systems that don’t get touched often and are written in stacks that our…

Really cool stuff. Thanks for sharing.

australia's experience with asbestos would indicate otherwise.

I purchased a year of YouTube premium while I was on holiday in Turkey and it didn’t cost much. I mostly did it for YouTube music but the no ads thing is pretty great too.
