Google Maps has a pair of buttons for you to confirm or deny that a hazard like a stopped vehicle is still there. But they're right next to each other. Two buttons that do the oppo…

On one hand I've always been irritated by car reviewers complaining that a car has 'weird' controls, failing to take into account that most of us aren't driving a new car every wee…

Even if we achieve that, there are still closed-gardens to open

Dishwashers are quite noisy. Honestly, have you had your ears cleaned recently? It could change your life.

That pseudo-potentiometer is sick

Then there are infinity-x engineers, because some problems just aren't solvable by the worst engineers. Or even typical engineers. It wouldn't take them 10 times as long as Linus t…

The same reason shows why the bimodal and 'branded' name is such a strange thing to focus on. Why only 10x? And why not try to make your 1x into 2x? It's like if sports fans spent …

This reminds me of this oddity in Nottingham: https://osm.org/go/eu8S4TeKc?way=50459468 (right-hand drive)

In TFA, it's 3rd-party software.

>if the idea is to maximize the open space / city size while maintaining a fast transit system Then it's Goodhart law in action. A fast transit system is desirable because it's a p…

Terraria's dev being (temporarily) burnt by this was the catalyst for my de-googling. There are high-quality alternatives for everything.

There's a narrative around game budgets and timelines that seems to assume that they're increasing due to it being inherently more expensive to create them. The reality is that the…

It's not that exciting - I was already halfway out the door for unrelated reasons. It's a problem that almost any company in that space shares. It's made me put a strong premium on…

>It also forces you to keep pivoting and finding a cash cow rather than assuming your initial plan was any good. Formative experience: working at a startup, coming upon a fundament…

For the latter, LSP support in neovim is primordial but exciting.

And it's still enough to include Jeanne Calment's supposed age.

I find the more recent ones more fun because a) it's a shifting target, so you can find something new and b) you get to make people feel old! Let's see... the release of the film T…

Having gone from C to C++, there's a stark difference between the communities in what is considered 'readable' i.e. what the future reader is expected to grok. In C-world, ternary-…

Rage where?
