Sometimes when I’m programming I get a little lost in trying to make a pipeline more efficient. While it’s a noble goal, I have to remind myself: “somewhere here, you have to pay t…

It’s a “always a free option” which doesn’t clarify what you get with the free version. IIRC LastPass did this by slowly reducing how many devices and what kinds you could sync. Th…

We've got reusable mesh bags that we use for this.

Since all our local markets have introduced handheld scanners, I don't even bring my bags in. I put everything in the cart barcode up, get to the checkout, scan everything, pay, an…

I think what might happen is all these other markets are going to end up “playing fair” while the US remains an abused ecosystem- because it’ll be the only place left Apple and Goo…

I think if we'd had a "normal" administration, this probably would have been pushed by the US government. The US services have been gunning for this for decades . But we have an ad…

This is an incomplete thought, but a friend of mine has this idea around reputation built through a sort-of key signing. You get a key, your friend gets a key, you sign each other'…

My iPhone 12 Mini's camera just broke (the zoom is failing..) I have been poking around for any solution that is around the same size. The best answer is generally never-heard-of c…

The hardest part about inevitablism here is that the people who are making the argument this is inevitable are the same people who are the people who are shoveling hundreds of mill…

One of the mild tragedies of my youth is that when we switched from the Macintosh SE/30 to the IIci, my MacPaint art didn't make the transition. My dad told me that the files were …

> I have found that there are people who just want to watch the world burn. There are many reasons, but, at its most basic, hurt people hurt people. I'm not sure that it's even mal…

I absolutely loved it. It’s well structured. The science is well written, but not overbearing. Fun story.

I do a lot of non-work AI stuff on my own, from pair programming with AI, asking it to generate whole things, to just asking it to clarify a general approach to a problem. FWIW, in…

I'm a senior engineer with 20+ (oof) years of industry experience. I appreciate that this sucks and you don't want to do it. I wouldn't either. That said, it's a hirer's market out…

I didn’t want to be attached to the Synology system or hardware anymore. Synology Photos is great (and we’re still using it for the upload atm), but Immich lets me control the whol…

Immich is what I'm using right now. I'm running it in a Docker container on my Synology. It was very advantageous to spin up another docker container on my laptop to do the face re…

> Sure, some things (like taking customer lists when you leave a company) are messed up and should be barred Is it messed up? If you're a salesperson, and you've built the relation…

Getting off topic, there's an interesting This American Life story about the Coca Cola formula, and why there are many extremely close formulas, but no exact replicas. [1] https://…

This implies that any employee at Coca Cola knows and has access to the secret formula, which is of course, not true. And even if it were true, there's a substantial difference bet…

I have a very old iPad that my kid uses. It’s stuck to iOS 10.3. Also, it can’t use my password manager. The browser is so old that the website won’t load (32-bit app). And the PW …

Yes, but every large company in the US would view the nationalization of SpaceX as “shots fired” and investors would likely panic worrying that their stock portfolios would be at a…

And to expand on #2, we not only get our hobby coinciding with our career, but that work can pay exceptionally well.
