Cisco employee here, this is spot on. I was at a startup they acquired ~4 years ago, by now it's just about milked completely dry. Even though our product is close to industry-leading, they laid off our product manager,…
It's Matt Champan! https://mchap.io/ I helped him process and visualize the original batch of parking ticket data waaaay back in 2016. I can't believe he's still on this in 2025. We need more junkyard dogs like him…
Three times now I've argued strenuously against using MongoDB and Elasticache as the primary data store in an app, as they will inevitably turn into relational databases. They did. For Mongo going to postgres went…
T1 here. I couldn't read this, even with archive.ph. Here's a more accessible source: https://www.theguardian.com/society/article/2024/aug/11/scie... Reddit thread:…
> I look at a "sort of" competitor in our industry, and their rate of feature development is ridiculously slow by comparison. Seconded. At my org, Ruby/Rails is our competitive advantage. Our 5-6 competitors are all…
I expected it to be even more of a tome, but surprisingly it's been cut in half! 2nd edition: Paperback : 1312 pages Item Weight : 4.81 pounds 3rd edition: Paperback : 656 pages Item Weight : 2.71 pounds
You probably know all this as well, but for future googlers: I used to use Libre + MiaoMiao + Nightscout, but these days I much prefer Dexcom G6 + xDrip + Nightscout. Pros for the G6: - No 3rd party transmitter (e.g.…
I love it for admin pages. If only 20 internals are ever going to see it, jquery is as light as can be, can be loaded right from a CDN, needs no kind of transpilation and handles basically all you need.
> Approximately 80% of the income of traditional capitalist conglomerates go to salaries and wages, according to Varoufakis, while Big Tech’s workers, in contrast, collect “less than 1% of their firms’ revenues”. This…
Agreed. I was also part of the Kenna acquisition after being there for 2 years and am still there. My equity got paid out quickly, I have since gotten raises and bonuses, and the only shittiness has been all the…
Nothing yet. I'd imagine it will go through appeals for a few years before anything actually happens, and U.S. antitrust enforcement has not exactly been a powerful force for the last few decades.
There's not much to the article. > KANSAS CITY, Mo.—A federal jury on Tuesday found the National Association of Realtors and large residential brokerages liable for about $1.8 billion in damages after determining they…
Good. Back in 2017 I wanted to set up multi-room audio and the only options were Sonos and Chromecast Audios. I got the whole thing done for the cost of 1 Sonos speaker. In Jan of 2019 standalone Chromecast Audio…
> So, Facebook used interoperable tools to let ex-MySpace users eat their cake and have it too. Facebook provided those MySpace users with a “bot,” an automated program that used the user’s login and password to…
I had to read this several times and... this is a great solution. As taxes, these are a negative incentive for hoarding housing stock and increase gov't revenues to (potentially at least) help to house seniors.
Indeed. Our elevated trains are excellent (even though everyone complains) but even with recent expansions they don't serve huge swaths of the city. https://www.transitchicago.com/assets/1/6/ctamap_Lsystem.png If you're…
25 cents/hour was indeed shockingly and delightfully cheap. I miss those days. I suppose it still is, compared to $6/hour.
Chicago resident here. The city making more from parking tickets is not exactly a selling point if you're the one paying them. Before the deal we had 20-year-old meters which were generally 25 cents or 50 cents per hour…
I saw the googleblog.com domain and immediately wrote it off as a future entry on Google Graveyard.
I highly recommend ExpTV for this: https://exptv.org It spans the vhs era, curated by hand to flip through different oddities and ephemera. No tracking, no algorithms, just a stream of fun wierdness. It even has a TV…
And if you're a tea person like me, I highly recommend this history: https://www.amazon.com/All-Tea-China-England-Favorite/dp/014... Tea has the larger world-historical impact, I would say.

The sculptor Stanisław Szukalski chose to die this way. He had had a stroke and was stuck in the hospital knowing that he would never sculpt again due to partial paralysis. He just refused all food and water, and that…
Because it's fun. If you get to work at top speed in a no-BS environment solving big problems, you'll be happy as can be. I get paid more than enough, but what I look for is to be able to spend 40 hours a week having a…
That comic just made my mind bend.
