I wondered about this because I used a keyboard to do it. But then I thought maybe krick used mobile and there's no onscreen keyboard. But then I realized that krick said mouse ski…

> I don't think this rule is universal. Counterpoint: Most workplaces would be best served by a team of developers who help up level each other without causing morale issues when k…

> [C]onsumers, on the other hand, are mostly looking to waste time, which is why attention- harvesting advertising is the only software business model that works at scale for consu…

I think that this is an attack on the understanding of the LLM _potentially_ but it doesn't seem like it's likely to standup to legal scrutiny? Seems like this is pretty clearly a …

This is a great bug report! I am not a kernel expert by any means even though I have read some about it... 10+ years ago. And I was able to follow along and see what was going on. …

I present an alternate etymology for homelab. Instead of "lab" as experimentation space, think of it as lab: place for doing work. Away back in the day we didn't have laptops to wo…

The title of the original article is a little misleading. It's _website_ visitor tracking and it looks like it's really just advertising analytics... That's maybe bad but it's also…

ADHD (and many other psychological struggles) can be managed with practice and good habits and time. You seem to have a desire to change (evidenced by posting here) which is a grea…

You can see it in cost explorer if you break down by one of the spend types. Went and checked it: group by usage type and then filter for service: RDS and you can see your io usage…

Regardless of the interpretation of these maps, these do seem to show the power of a good tool built for the free market. Here you have an app on everybody's phone that is such a u…

I have been remote, working outside Silicon Valley for Silicon Valley companies for 16 years (4 companies). The difference in salary/cost-of-living was initially a greater part of …

I know this has been discussed and rediscussed but the notion of thinking about human organization blackboxes trading work with each other the same way we think about how distribut…

I got a Fiio M7 for Christmas or my birthday a year ago. It's amazing how awesome it is to have a device that's dedicated to music and does a great job at it. There are side loadab…

Hey! I'm trying to plan out my career a bit and I was wondering if I could pick your brain a bit. There's an email that can get to me in my profile, if you're willing to give me so…

"This is the kind of magic that sometimes happens when an engineer gets to talk directly to the users to find out what they are doing" I think this is also the kind of magic that h…

I think there are a lot of strategies for dealing with the kinds of issues you're working with, but a lot of them involve building a good engineering culture and building a discipl…

I got an Android DAP for Christmas last year and found that I really like musicolet: https://krosbits.in/musicolet/ It works really well. It has the playlisting/queueing metaphors …

Having read some of Dan Luu's other prose I think this is a bit unfair. The sort of meta analysis of writing always comes off a bit navel gazy I suppose, but I don't think you have…

`phone` and `talk` were two of my favorite things to do on the internet way back in the day. Almost better than IRC was starting up a chat with somebody on the local University VAX…

What are you working on now that was different between the last one and this one?

The US government provides this online for free. Only the edgiest of edge cases aren't supported. You can e-file your federal return with this regardless of how much money you make…

I dunno -- if you work on software you get used to the fact that there's always something that could be better, something that could be fixed. Something that could have a smoother …

Empathy. A lot of these suggestions here don't show it. Sure, Notion should fix this feature. If your backlog is completely free of features that are no brainers, raise your hand. …
