I never practiced Morse code, but I read enough about it to quickly realize that the nice sound a friend's cool new Nokia phone made on incoming SMS messages is actually ... -- ..., literally "SMS". The year was 2002 or…
The same things keeps happening every time I find myself stuck in traffic on the interstate. Out of nowhere, a popup appears in Google Maps: a faster route is available! 4 minutes faster! Unless either the passenger or…
Took me about half a year to drop my baseline levels, so, of course, not instant and not within "a couple" CGMs, but "a couple" was enough for me to understand the trends.
I used Libre 3; you can get different ones without a prescription online. You can easily get a prescription (in the US) if you get diagnosed with Type 2 based on your A1C numbers, but ordering a CGM online without any…
Luckily, we live in the reality where every human who is interested in how their own body, and not the one of some random mouse, deals with blood sugar, can order a relatively inexpensive (for the benefits it provides)…
One of the ways not to get LMGTFY / Ask Claude as a response is to provide more information and proof of work when asking a question. Compare: — What's the best way of doing X? — Ask Claude. vs: — I thought about this…
My mom struggled to understand the concept of copying and pasting when she got her first computer at home, with Windows. It was more than 20 years ago, but I think the idea that you need to copy in one place, then go to…
> Limited charging infrastructure and severe weather remain a significant challenge for EV drivers in Russia, but Yasinskaya said the amount of money she is saving means her family may swap their other car for a hybrid,…
I agree that both approaches are equally fast, and I myself did use VS Code at work a lot before the agents became widespread, so I can imagine myself doing either options. The terminal version is still less keystrokes…
At the first glance, the 100x difference is surprising. My first thought was that the Rust code [1] uses AVX instructions, which would've explained the difference if the regular wc was a naive C code counting characters…
Agreed about the difference between CLI and TUI; at the same time, I do indeed prefer TUI over the “normal” (window) GUI apps for the exact reason why I would prefer vim (or emacs for the other half) over a GUI editor:…
I don't think anything has changed for me regarding my vim usage. Previously, I would use vim to make simple changes in the code or configuration files, making larger changes in VS Code. Now, with agents, I never need…
As a long time terminal user, it does not surprise me much when people just don't get it. The discussion often goes like this: — In a terminal, I can do so-and-so with a simple command — Well, in my FrobnicatorStudio,…
> Have you ever run in to issues sharing your interpretation? Not really. Of course, having an analog Apple Watch face does not mean that don't know the exact time for the cases when I need to know the minutes, e.g. for…
Nice one! I would probably want to see events like goals disallowed because of offside, or missed penalty shots, shown as well because they do affect the gameplay. E.g. the Argentina vs. Egypt game [1] had much more…
Not sure about Google, but more than once I was about to book a flight on Expedia for the wrong week because by default it suggests a date 2 weeks from today, and if I need a flight for this weekend, I often pick the…
I just feel that any attempt of a service I use to summarize and analyze my interactions with it, whether it's the AI tool usage patterns or the music I listened to the most over the past year, makes me feel creepy and…
This fun game just made me realize that actually using analog watch does not require converting the time to HH:MM. I've been using analog watch for years, my Apple Watch face is set to analog and, apparently, I read the…
Speaking about paying for apps in general, I'm all for it. The moment a new app shows an ad, if this app seems useful to me, I'll go make a purchase if it's a single "remove ads" IAP with a reasonable price, where…
I wonder what's the thought process of all those people who decide that slopping a blog post is a good way to talk about anything. This could've been an interesting article if it was written by a human.
> this just isn't the kind of professionalism needed for a serious project I don't immediately see how much the seriousness of the project is related to the language the author chose in their personal blog post. It's…
> more and more packed with dishonest, racist Republican political hacks I'm not sure I see where the "more and more" is coming from. Out of the three justices nominated by Trump, two (Barrett and Kavanaugh) voted in…
Just for the record, I was responding to the (now flagged) comment which used some similar meaningless name calling towards the dissenting justices, to which I responded that this name calling game can be played by both…
You are surely oversimplifying it. The amendment clearly says "born or naturalized"; can hatching or transmogrification be considered a birth? We need to look at the original meaning of the word "born" in 1868. Also, it…
The problem is that the other half of the country will probably have something to say about activist leftist justices with their agenda. This is just not the constructive way of arguing. Disclaimer: I'm a legal…
