Teams truly is terrible. The example I always give: There is absolutely 0 feedback to show a speaker when their mic is actively transmitting. When anyone else in a call speaks, a ring around their avatar lights up to…
Cal's podcast and books are a guilty pleasure of mine. Yes, he has a tendency to oversimplify. Yes, he can be a bit cheesy. But I think that his cheesy and simple presentation style is kind of his secret sauce. If you…

I've been running Chimera for a few months now on a all-AMD PC hooked up to my living room TV, and I've been pleased. I had previously set up Windows to launch big picture mode on startup but there was always a delay…
wow, this is the first time I've wished that my 2013 3 had the infotainment system
This is exactly what I’ve been looking for on so many levels. +1 user.
I think this headline is a bit sensationalized. Dr. Su's quote in the article says nothing about the undershipping being "to maintain high prices". Retailers are likely just not interested in carrying large amounts of…
I know a lot of people who work at APL (but not SWE), love it, and have no plans to leave. Definitely seems like a great option for someone in OP's situation.
b-ok.cc has the .epub available for free (but of course if you have the money you should support Petzold)
That’s definitely frustrating, but what did you expect? You lived in one city and worked in another. The “simple” solution to this is to live and work in the same city.
Really great essay. Anyone who feels similar to OP should read it.
I understand the mathematical argument for using these BNPL services, but I wish that we as a society were not so comfortable with debt that some are willing to incur it on a pair of shoes or a fashionable t-shirt.…
Lots of people in this thread complaining about user hostility and bad UX. I wholeheartedly agree. Twitter does not have your best interests at heart, and this ever-worsening dark pattern shows that very clearly. Why,…
It seems like everyone I know has a strong reaction to this news. It’s clear that sunlight is both precious and scarce for the modern office worker. Why do most employers still require butts in seats for almost 100% of…
This would have been my answer too, before I found this [0] video. If only I had found it during my EE degree, not after… [0] https://youtu.be/ue3yoeZvt8E
One of my favorite websites. Ran has changed the way I think about a lot of things, especially urban living vs rural homesteading. Well worth reading through the archives, watching the short documentary about him on…
Once I got over his… interesting… affect, I found this to be a pretty enjoyable watch. Certainly there’s not much technical merit to the ideas, and I definitely wouldn’t want to start a company with him or invest in him…
I do this to a lesser extent by putting scheduled meetings on my daily work to-do lists. It feels a bit silly sometimes (they’re going to get done whether I want them to or not), but I feel like crossing them off helps…
