Finally paid off my vodka cran from last month. God is good 🙌

This process was… unintuitive.

I now have a passcode to protect the passcode that lets me change my passcode. Take that, iPhone thieves.

In summary:

1. Figma is the only company poised to launch a major AI product in the design space because of its large proprietary dataset.
2. Other AI products in the design space are vaporware or will not be useful.
3. AI will augment designers, not replace them.

CEO of The Boring Company is the perfect candidate for running a company into the ground

The year is 2034. Websites no longer exist, news is dead, there are no sources for information. Content cycles only from AIs trained on each other's outputs, fragments from people long gone, repeated endlessly like a big delay line memory. The sky is the average of every sky.

Your 10 person startup doesn't need microservices.

I'm not kidding. If a thief knows the passcode for your Android phone, THEY CAN CHANGE YOUR GOOGLE ACCOUNT'S PASSWORD. I just had to go to Settings > Google > Manage your Google Account > Security > Password > Forgot password > Use your screen lock > Tap YES on phone or tablet.

a thread of the top questions i've seen asked at tech company town halls, in no particular order:

Drone video shows the mess that I-5 northbound was near the 217 interchange Thursday morning as a winter storm brought record snow to the Portland metro area.

Japan living in 2050 as usual 🤯

this is a beer tablet —non-alcoholic
it’s flavored as beer but it foams at the top when added to water to emulate a fresh “pour” 🍻🍺

…. can’t wait to see who brings this
to the US and raises $10M for it 😂

In 2018, "Parachute use to prevent death and major trauma when jumping from aircraft: randomized controlled trial" was published in the British Medical Journal.

It sought to determine if wearing a parachute when jumping from a plane had any impact on survivability.

It did not.

if-statements show a lack of conviction. your code should execute all the time

Do you like to watch fancy house tours of celebrities? Well, how about NON-fancy house tours of non-celebrities?

This is a story about crimes happening across the country, but this is also about how Apple has put so much power in the passcode. That single string of digits allows a thief to:
