I use it every morning with my keyboard to watch videos, get caught up on emails and messages, and sometimes call friends. I don’t use it quite as much in the evenings when my wife is around since I like to be able to show her what I’m doing, so I’ll use my laptop instead.

Unfortunately most of the websites willing to engage in this are already aware that this is a user-hostile pattern.

Do you live in the GTA by chance? There is still a ban on foreign buyers in effect, even those with a work or study visa.

Yikes, missed that one! Thanks for sharing.

I haven’t yet met a user who’s upset about having to use Apple Pay to check out on their apps or the App Store.

Is this Walter Kirn the author?

This made me laugh

> Bad…link speed…and bad…link width…were other concerning PCIe faults. These faults can be difficult to detect without some sort of automated tool…

Most modern PCIe PHY now have the ability to serve interrupts when down-training occurs much like they would for AER errors or hard link failures. Does FB use their own silicon in these data centers? Having this feature enabled is crucial when you get up to gen4 speeds. Weirdly I don’t see any detail about the gen used here though.

A C++ implementation of minesweeper (with no assets except for the font used for the numbers). I’ve been writing C++ professionally for 4 years now but I’m looking to familiarize myself with parts of the language I haven’t used before.

> and reputation intact

I'm staying at [large SV company] for now BECAUSE OF their reputation of hiring smart engineers, so that I will be able to hopefully get a gig at a more employee-friendly company later in life. New grads that were in my position often don't have much of a choice, and being offered the ability to pay off my student debt almost immediately at 22 seemed irresponsible to pass up. It's been 4 years and my mental health has degraded for sure (and the work I am doing is not glamorous in the slightest) but my savings are piling up and the thought that this is only temporary (and will give me a nice financial cushion) will keep me going until it's unbearable.

Why would TikTok agree to a preliminary American takeover and transfer of all assets to American entities if they are taking directives from the CCP? If this were true I would expect them to fight tooth and nail against a deal with the likes of Oracle and Wal-Mart rather than champion it as they have been doing.

No need for utensils while eating pizza! Publish me!

Wow, I needed to stop reading that about halfway through. My mind goes to weird places when I think about consciousness in the abstract like that.

Looks great! Will try this soon.

Spelling correction: “Never lose the news you like”

I know some very talented software engineers who would not have gotten their jobs if not for studying leetcode. It's now expected that successful candidates are able to solve these puzzles without much trouble so even experienced engineers will treat leetcode as standard interview prep.
