I’ve heard preparation is key for such endeavours.

Left panel is the face I make when something smells like death.

Right panel is the face I make when I realize the stench is caused by cheese.

This is because good cheese is sometimes quite stinky.

It was a solid meme in my head.

Beautiful words. Resilience is terribly underrated.

And this is how I've learned about yet another weird internet trivia.

It's a prototyping tool. You use it to whip up something quick and get proper feedback before spending efforts on developing the actual thing.

Adobe XD and Figma were direct competing products. That's why XD's discontinuation by Adobe coupled with Figma's acquisition is seen as a sort of reverse killer acquisition.

Meming’s fun but I wish it wouldn’t be everywhere all the time.

Safety on the road has been improved so far by having public orgs and governments pressuring companies with regulations. Without them there would be no seatbelts and dashboards might still be dotted with stylish pointy metal spikes.

Unfortunately safety regulations have solely focused on the occupants of the concerned vehicle. It follows that any feature that protects the occupant at the expense of everyone else is still measured as a net positive. Ultimately this is leading to an arms race.

Vehicle safety needs to expand to the other side of the windshield.

That’s terrible. Wishing you the best of luck to find a fulfilling job.

(For those curious like me) ブラック企業

A black company (ブラック企業, burakku kigyō), also referred to in English as a black corporation or black business, is a Japanese term for an exploitative, sweatshop-type employment system.

While the term "sweatshop" is associated with manufacturing, and the garment trade in particular, in Japan black companies are not necessarily associated with the clothing industry, but more often with office work.

While specifics may vary from workplace to workplace and company to company, a typical practice at a black company is to hire a large number of young employees and then force them to work large amounts of overtime without overtime pay. Conditions are poor, and workers are subjected to verbal abuse and "power harassment" (bullying) by their superiors.[1] In order to make the employees stay, superiors of black companies would often threaten young employees with disrepute if they chose to quit.

Further proof that the electric car is gay. A manly man rolls coal.

She’s technically correct, the best kind of correct.

Oh look, another article about how the plebs are whiny for no good reason. Haven't the masses heard? The numbers look good and Goldman Sachs said the hard part is over.

I watched this and I felt something like a mix of stimulation and serenity. A calling from something deep. Computer programming’s fine but a part of me now wishes to be a sticks and mud engineer. Even if in both cases apparently some clever designs don’t pan out.

What a horrible decision all around.

• Generates e-waste as controllers are bricked for no reason.
• Kills costly custom built accessibility controllers. No consideration for marginalized users whatsoever.
• Retroactively screws all customers over.
• Goes as far as breaking peripheral compatibility with a discontinued console.

Is it to kill cheating devices used on competitive titles? Is it a money grab? It probably won't achieve either. From a customer protection standpoint I'm wondering if this position can be attacked legally.

Nevertheless it reminds me that other time when Spencer was daydreaming about buying Nintendo and it feels like Microsoft is being a little unhinged as of late.

We're definitely lightyears away from that cursed era of building layouts with float.

Yet, in a redacted copy of an internal email chain released on Friday, Jim Kolotouros, the vice president of Android Platform Partnerships, wrote: “Chrome exists to serve Google search, and if it cannot do that because it is regulated to be set by the user, the value of users using Chrome goes to almost zero (for me).”

So Chrome’s whole point is bringing users to Google Search… and Google Search's whole point is Google Ads. I’m Glad I use Firefox.

I love that phase of Bowie. The Earthling’s "Look at the Moon!" tour had this amazing cover of Laurie Andersen’s O Superman.

That fauna though.

Ah OK, so this paper argues that given the right conditions the appearance of life is not necessarily likely. Basically it’s hard to know for sure with a single example (Earth). If it is in fact unlikely, it could explain why we haven’t met extraterrestrial life already. Thanks!

Can someone explain for the layperson?

What if you get 1 million dollars, but you hear voices telling you to do things.
