You're confusing a breathalyzer with a field sobriety test, the latter of which no one should agree to. It's the sort of test that asks you to walk straight, hop on one leg, allow an officer to use a flashlight on your…
I had to stop playing for a while because the music really got stuck in my head. What a fantastic game though, it really is so fun. The "Woooow" at some upgrades always make me chuckle. I'll definitely come back to it…
One thing the Apple Watch is missing is being able to call a Lyft or Uber. Not something I do super often but it really would let me leave the phone at home more often. Also would have liked to see a little hole in the…
For someone who lives in a very small apartment, my WFH setup takes an annoyingly large part of my living space. If I can build a comfortable work environment in VR/AR, I can get rid of my work desk entirely and keep a…
This would be perfect, but in English, the description on the left refers to graph points in Meters while the visuals' data points are in feet.
What’s something you’d recommend to a friend as a beach read?
It’s hard to make people care with “bad/user hostile/privacy invading” because those terms have saturated descriptions of behavior that users are okay with. Example: tons of articles mention FB as a privacy invading or…
But inflation has to do with the supply of money, not the supply of goods, right? Genuine question
So why did vaccinations suddenly become a huge problem with people today? Are these people who were never going to go to college but would have caused a fuss if the school demanded vaccination records? Or is it the…
Interestingly, this thread has got me surprised that there are so many vaccine skeptics or people that have such a deep mistrust in these vaccination incentives. You do have a right to choose. This isn’t a vaccine…
Spot on that I am bringing the national discussion around the California drought into context while reading the article. On costs: > Some California farmers who pay for the service, however, say it often provides a…
This isn’t both sides treatment, this is reporting on the desperation of vineyard managers in a drought that would shell out around $1000 (when geologists charge several times that) for bogus services. Other commenters…
Some perspective from someone who has worked in hospitality: Some brands have fought back in creative ways. An essential part of being listed on Booking or Expedia is to agree to never advertise lower prices anywhere…
I think FOMO fuels a desire to stay attached to screens (or fuels a rejection of mind-calming activities), which in turn increases FOMO when 90% of social media is about productivity life hacks, boasting about doing fun…
If you think OSX is user hostile because of intentional vendor-specific keyboard keys, note that Windows computers have a “Windows” key. Is that an international standard? I think most commercial keyboards (just about…
Our server went down for a couple of days and if we could "run our system on localhost", I'm positive we would have been back online very quickly as opposed to the multiple days it took to track down stored procedures…
So when I want to go to a developer conference and I use money from the education budget, Google needs to look over all 100+ speaker slides to pay for it? In this case, they need to look over n videos in the LinkedIn…
It seems like the participant since they have to proactively signal they’re in a lucid dreaming state with deliberate sweeping eye movements (LRLRLR) before answering questions. It definitely matters because it implies…
Unless they interfere with scheduled meetings, I can’t see why this would bug you as a manager. Pair programming, counting hours for clients, or sprint planning are the only other things that could possibly conflict…
Remote VS Code via SSH works absolutely fantastically everywhere with the one exception being the Pi Zero which is a shame.
I think MOOCs are great for the thing you've been sorta kinda interested in but didn't know where to start. Around the 0%-20% background-info ballpark. For me, my most successful MOOCs have been: - CS50 at they very…
Because someone on the inside opened the door and let them in, it’s not “storming”? Those Twitter comments are all suggesting this was a setup, but the more likely scenario is that most of those that should be serving…
I refuse to read something from authors that don't have track records of finishing series after reading Rothfuss and Martin. The way GoT was handled should be a good indicator for TV studios that authors who can't…
> In the early days of despair, I looked at Spotify and decided that everything sounded bad. All songs were boring, and I was sick of everything. What that really meant was I was sick of myself. Wow, what a concise way…
I regret not jumping on this offer (expired two days ago)
