possibly we should stop saying “the algorithm” and start saying “the way people programmed the app”

Code reuse reminds me of trade. When we reuse other people’s code, that frees up our time to focus on our own. We can then make our own available for reuse, which completes the cycle. Specialization, division of labor, comparative advantage, raising everyone’s quality of life.

How far can we take the analogy? Which deeper economic principles based on trade might apply to code reuse, package managers, etc? I doubt it’s an original idea, but it’s hard to Google.

This seems highly suspect and monopolistic.

I don't use @AppleMusic and yet it gets to pop up this privacy alert telling me that the number of calls I make will be used to create a trust score for my device.

Do other music providers like @Spotify get to do this?

In 1982, the Commodore64 cost an inflation-adjusted $1,600 - and had 64KB of RAM.

A compact disc outputs 176KB. Per second.

The CD is basically a temporal aberration and should not have existed at all.

The irony of people calling out Twitter on machine learning racial bias and failing to provide alternative text to explain their horrendous findings to everyone. Be inclusive

One week apart. Hawthorne bridge at 21 AQI vs 417 AQI.

Our engineers have identified the cause of the DNS degradation and are working on a resolution. We’ll update this post as new information becomes available. http://www.dreamhoststatus.com

For me it’s a few things.

Screenshots are easier to take and archive.

Files are easier to transfer between devices.

iMessage means I don’t need to check my phone.

Screen recordings are MUCH easier to do.

I have cables in cardboard box, every time I need one and I suspect it's there, I reorder from Amazon anyway because it takes too long to find a cable in pile of cables 😅

I had tweeted in 2019 about @Twitter cropping #womeninAI headless while cropping men correcting. When I raised this, many men in field accused me of making up a non-existent issue just to gain attention. Sadly #AI #bias is not yet fixed.

This has been a really sad week so I thought it would help to clean my apartment. I spent hours deep cleaning everything and you would not believe the amazing results - I'm now sad in a clean apartment!

in 10 years when we're wearing full hazmat suits 24/7 and living underground with geiger counters and collecting rainwater runoff from jeff bezos' golden palace drains we're gonna look back at 2020 like these were the glory days

שנה טובה!!! 🍎🍯🎉

Never have so many people simultaneously typed the word “fuck”

I don’t know how to feel anymore.

Is this what Spotify paid $100M for?

Season1 ep list is out:)

Update on my disabling mid-roll ads test. Two weeks in to the test, my CPM (revenue per thousand views) is down about 10%, but my average view duration is up 6%. I'm happy to keep them disabled on those metrics.

Can we just appreciate for a second how visually appealing @GeraldUndone youtube thumbnails are? JAYSUS! BRANDING!
