ELI5: what about this album is making everyone realize Taylor Swifts music is just recycled pop garbage when it’s been that for almost the whole time?

I’m not sure who needs to hear this but “Sidekiq jobs” is not a design pattern, application architecture or system design and if that confuses you, that’s a problem.

Y’all are worried about LLMs learning to code but if one ever figures out how to make a slide deck I’m fucked.

Andreesen self snitching that AI can’t take over VC because it’s a rigged game and you can’t rig and AI (easily) is such a great self own.

The bsky iPhone app is so bad. It’s almost a joke how half baked it is.

Asking for a friend: do y’all put your personal iCloud on employer owned hardware?

I don’t really feel like I’ve seen this pointed out anywhere, but when the US government spends trillions of dollars a year, these guys do realize that the vast majority of that is going into people’s pockets and businesses pockets, right?

@taylorlorenz the jokes have gone too far? Really?

Nah.

The top two are the same image right? Right? 😂

Are in-app webviews super slow to load in iOS 18 for anyone else?

Always weird dipping back in to #ruby where I have 99 cores but my specs only use 1.

Seriously, look at this. https://legiscan.com/US/legislation?status=passed

When is the last time a new law was passed? I know of a bunch of protections that have been rolled back, but what was the last law that actually affected anyone?

These people live in an alternate universe. It’s so weird.

If you aren't reading Garbage Day, what are you doing with your life? It's like Millennial Shakespeare. https://www.garbageday.email/p/coconutpilled-contextmaxxing?utm_source=www.garbageday.email&utm_medium=newsletter&utm_campaign=coconutpilled-and-contextmaxxing

It’s insane to me how much mileage a poll with 1200 participants will get in the media. I wouldn’t trust an a/b test with 12,000 responses. You’re telling me your 10% +/- polling number is accurate with 1200 randos that answered your phone call? GTFO of here.

The more I use fly.io, the less I understand who should be using it.

I read an article about how PMs could use Perplexity.ai to be better PMs, and after reading 21 different examples, I have one question: Are PMs stupid? And is like 3 paragraphs of barely any information really going to fix that?

What is the easiest way to host a static HTML website in 2024? I need actual HTML hosting, not just Markdown or some other templated system.

Pretty interesting that the reaction to every Oculus headset ever is *crickets*.

And the reaction to the AVP seems to be something I can only categorize as blind rage.
This week, I've seen smart people declare:
1. It's a total failure.
2. It's not revolutionary, it's simply an iPad strapped to your face.
3. It's a solution looking for a problem and there's small odds they'll ever find one.

People have BIG feelings for something that has existed for a month.
