What really helped me grok git was https://git-man-page-generator.lokaltog.net/ which taught me that the commands and the documentation of git really are pure nonsense, which relie…

They push new software to your phone constantly. They could just permanently enable low-power mode for everybody tomorrow if they wanted to, or change all your icons to Pop-Tarts.

Don't bother with napkins. The data is open. TNC trips average about 150k / weekday [1], BART carries about 415k trips / weekday [2], and Muni carries about 750k [3]. Thus, public …

This is cherry-picking. It always makes more sense to take a car service when multiple people start and end at the same places and can easily coordinate (e.g. a married couple). Bu…

How did you conclude this? There are other similarly-priced but more-numerous models of car where literally nobody has ever died after crashing one. Controlling for price (as a pro…

Yeah, I was wondering the same thing. I don't know what the "research scientist" ladder looks like but "senior" is the median grade of software engineers. Half of SWEs are Senior o…

Tried that, Backup-N-Sync just puts them up again.

If it makes you feel better, the discussion of 5G on Nextdoor in Oakland was and remains bonkers. It’s not Marin, it’s people of a certain age. There just happens to be more of the…

Yeah, sharp edges everywhere. My favorite feature is if it can’t convert your raw images to JPEG, instead of skipping them it stores them in Drive as non-photo data, which can fill…

Wow, fantastic! This will allow me to drag Google’s sync app for Mac directly into the trash, which I’ve been dying to do for years! Then I can write some kind of program that find…
