I’m poking around while on an airplane, so the network speed is pretty slow. The site crawls to a stop with each character I type into the search box. As a performance booster, perhaps consider adding a short delay before firing off queries to update the results or decoupling the the search box from the query result?
They ask it where the next eclipse is, and where best to watch it. They got the date right, but the suggested locations of Timor and Australia are not in the eclipse path. https://www.timeanddate.com/eclipse/solar/2024-april-8
Related to this quote, I don’t think we’re guaranteed access to better content. I think we’re guaranteed to more prolific cheap to produce content. Think Instagram era relative to Flickr era. Less about the art, more about fast fashion, or fast art, to capture your ever more brief attention. Certainly the next chapter of Tim Wu’s book, The Attention Merchants.
You need to keep your head on a swivel walking around Hoboken. My son got hit in his stroller in a well marked crosswalk by someone improperly passing a car that had stopped for us; I couldn’t even see it coming. Luckily he was not injured but it was extremely close to severe injury or death.
The last paragraph rings absolutely true for me. Me and my wife stagger walking in the street now, or I walk out first and the pull the stroller behind me if I’m alone.
I do commend them for making safety improvements, it is clear there’s been investment in pedestrian safety … but stay vigilant.
Directors and/or VPs of the various service organizations. It’s not a matter of it being a technical problem. It’s a business problem. The reported status has business consequences.
I figured as much, and just wondered about the challenges of trunk based development with a large contributor pool. If so many teams are working in different subtrees of the monorepo, it seems like trunk based development could be just fine.
Well now you have to tell us why and how 600 people are sharing a repo! That’s a lot. Granted at Microsoft thousands of people worked in the same codebase. But in my recent experience we’ve generally been working on a repo per project, which typically maps to a small team.
It’s a train of people up Si with a slammed parking lot… I think that’s the point. It is difficult, but it is also highly pedestrian as far as trails go in WA. We are lucky to have such high standards here where even the most accessible and trafficked trails are incredible
Me too! Hard to justify using my regular brewing machine anymore. Aeropress just makes a higher quality cup. Quantity be damned, I’ll make multiple cups on the aeropress all day.
There’s no reason you cannot be both transparent about pay and still retain the power to define the terms of the relationship with your employer. I understand that it might feel “equitable” among a group of employees to be paid consistently, but it is not equitable at all between you and your employer. They don’t own you. Don’t let them.
What an interesting idea. It's like an anti-advertisement. I can easily imagine how this could be replicated as a political campaign (and this does appear to be political -- why else end after Nov 3 election?).
I wonder how the economics (or outcomes) work out paying targeted, undecided, persuadable, but likely voters in key states to withdraw from the advertising blitz of the opponent, as opposed to continuing to compete for ads.
At some point in the last 8 years, Apple changed the animation for how a window becomes full screen. The default behavior is to expand while simultaneously shifting the window to the right, or conversely expand while the desktop shifts to the left.
Enabling "Reduce Motion" eliminates that behavior, and the full screen window fades in and out instead, which personally I prefer.
If you are able to float free for 4-6 months, I encourage you to do it. It can be scary, but also liberating. Sometimes you need to grant yourself the freedom to realize that something isn’t right in your life, and it may take time to reflect, heal, and grow.
I quit a job that I was miserable at after 3 years out of uni. I traveled and I enjoyed life on my own for a few months. And when the time came, I ended up taking a job that paid even less than the job I quit (it’s not all about the money) — it set me up for real success later down the line, and I regret nothing.
Granted, now is not an appropriate time to be traveling, so that isn’t really an upside ... but if you have other interests such as your side project, that can be just as gratifying.
Is an(other) alternative to Facebook the solution? Can we evolve beyond this? It seems to me like we all have what you’re building in our pocket already.
