Tennis is a great hub for connection when you're retired. I play a lot, and people are always meeting up after we play and forging all sorts of non-tennis relationships. Sadly for me, this is all during the day when I'm rushing back to work hoping my 90m absence didn't coincide with some emergency.

Here’s a place to start, a list of 250 “best” articles from the New Yorker. I guess this is from previously available articles.

Ownership class is all conjecture, but it really doesn't matter because all owners behave the same way. It's not as if local owners rent less, or charge less, or leverage their property less.

Claude also has custom slash-commands, so you can force skill usage as you see fit.

This lets you trigger a skill with '/foo' in a way that resembles the way you'd use the command line.

Claude Code is very good at using well-defined skills without a command though, but in a scenario where this is some nuance between similar skills they are useful.

See my other comment. When 30% of the housing stock is short-term rentals that families cannot buy, it doesn't matter at all who owns them. Where I live, they are all owned by locals, but that doesn't remediate any of the issues short-term rentals cause.

> The biggest problem here in Barcelona is that most airbnbs / short term rentals are companies buying housing as an investment and so are stealing the opportunity from actual people and families trying to live.

This problem exists regardless of who does the buying. Where I live the locals got into the market first. Still, it's a zero-sum game, every short-term rental is a house a family cannot live in and probably cannot afford to buy.

On my street 30% of the houses are short-term rentals. Some rent out for $10k/week just 8 weeks a year and are closed up the rest of the time. My daughter is currently the only kid on the street, which has over 100 houses.

Not only are all the houses now priced as income-producing investments, they are killing the community that used to exist here.

Bearblog.dev keeps subdomains out of search indexes until it approves them, as a measure against hosting the sort of things that would get the whole system de-indexed.

My guess is that they are more successful at suppressing subdomains than at getting them indexed. After all, they are not in control of what search engines do, they can only send signals.

For reference, I have a simple community event site on bearblog.dev which has been up for months and is not in any search index.

To be fair cars have always been an extension of their drivers identities in the US, or at least as far back as their being competing brands available.

Cars are en extension of some Americans' identity and driving is something they feel utterly entitled to.

I've lived all over the world and in NYC for decades so it seems silly to me. Bust most Americans have never seen or ridden an effective form of public transport. So they view congestion pricing as an infringement on their rights and quality of life.

It doesn’t need to be. I had shared bathrooms in college dorms and in a European facility for unmarried adult asylum seekers and in various hostels and they were absolutely fit for purpose.

It’s written in English by a German-speaking author. That could be the odd lilt you sense.

“statistically, most people are going to be around average”

In big corporate environments, ‘around average’ process would be a radical improvement. We are stuck in the reality where standing up a Service Now form is considered great progress.

Where I live the schools are quite good and the homeschoolers are fundamental religious families who won’t send their kids to schools where gay pride flags are allowed.

I’d pull our child out of school if the standards dropped but I think the majority of homeschoolers align with out of the mainstream poltical / religious views.

In my experience what matters most is understanding your goals, or lacking clear goals, what you want and enjoy. It’s remarkably easy to latch onto goals that seem like great ideas but ultimately don’t align to your own happiness.

That’s not to knock ambition, but to frame it in the most practical terms. How will success actually and specifically benefit you?

Parent, 100% agree. Even worse, approaching device access like a reward to be earned is a bad idea.

I grew up hearing these bells and being able to listen to them on demand is one the last great things on the internet, for me https://youtu.be/IVvAIYA4uIA?si=qIQGqgNk1JNN4GTw

Two things can be true at the same time. Spreading lies does matter - it matters a lot. And it's not an excuse for murder.

Amen

That is weak sauce. He was a skilled political operator. To suggest he believed what is provably false suggests he was a fool.

I wear a baseball cap and a hooded sun shirt. Plus mineral sunscreen all over my face and neck.

I just call em like I see em.

All other things aside this author is not a good enough communicator to be a director where I work.

That this is an ad actually makes the grammar issues worse.

I love this and I’d especially love for the Instagram search field to be a textarea not a wall of things designed to distract me.

No mention of range, but this is a key selling point for people who use a truck vs people who like to drive around in a truck.

Hard to say what the minimum might be. 200 miles?

"more meaningful impact on our lives will likely come from everyone having a personal superintelligence that helps you achieve your goals, create what you want to see in the world, experience any adventure, be a better friend to those you care about, and grow to become the person you aspire to be."

Meanwhile I can't properly find items that are listed on FB marketplace.

That app's developer reviewed this app developer's app. Nice guerrilla marketing.

I need to share a doc with family that is basically the agenda for our reunion.

There is no service (Google, iCloud) that we all have access to, and I do not want the doc I share to be full of prompts for the people I share it with to join any service (this disqualifies Dropbox paper).

I need to be able to update this doc on my phone.

I have this need a couple times a yeat, so this app appeals to me (haven't tried it yet!)

Those who wield power in Israel have calculated that they can do whatever they want at this moment and that they will enjoy functional impunity.

I repudiate what they are doing, but I do not disagree with their calculation. I can imagine no scenario where any foreign power tries to actually stop them.

I think that’s Outdooractive which is a Komoot competitor

Poor one out for local Mitfahrzentrale!
