Just rereading that one now. It’s been decades since I first read them all, and it’s fab to get back into that universe :)

If you read the article, both points are addressed.

Have you seen For All Mankind?

Forgot “Because you know it’s your round, but someone else is drunk enough to think it’s theirs”

And how is the rabbit doing?

This guy tanks.

Is that why bees can’t wear contact lenses?

Yup–a sarnie shop in a Spa town. See what they’ve done there…

I’m sure I remember a similar story about someone very excited to get a response each night, and eventually they followed the return call, it got louder and louder, and eventually they saw some other idiot hooting like an owl through the trees.

Yeah, we already have all those things apart from futuristic technology. But the boffins promise it’s less than 5 years away now.

(Guessing JS / TS) I look after a moderately sized app, and still find console.log() useful sometimes. They are all protected by a Boolean, so we have authLog && console.log('something about auth') and the bools are all set in one global file. So turning debug logging on and off is very simple.

The best thing is that when it’s off, the bundler strips all the console log lines from the source, so they’re not even there-but-inactive in production.

A hard pivot would have been going into food blenders. A launch company going into satellites seems more like just following the money.

Don’t be ridiculous–it’s obviously 1 child each. But what’s not clear from the article is how those who already have more than 1 decide which to get rid of before they turn 35.

My phone has cancer after going to that site :(

It’s pretty nasty—loads from a 3rd party domain (termly.io) that is blocked by uBO, and I had to disable it to load at all. After that, it loads into an iframe with a src of https://app.termly.io/policy-viewer/iframe-content.html?policyUUID=97db19c6-7afc-444b-bd38-9a2ac329fcac which you can load directly and print. It still has all the user-select: none css settings applied so you can’t highlight / copy / paste, but that’s easy enough to remove in the inspector.

I remember hearing a story of a UN or EU real-time translator working German to English suddenly stopping, the English listeners looking a bit confused, and after another 15 or 20 seconds of hearing the German speaker continue with still no translation, just heard a whispered “the verb, dammit, the verb!” through their headsets.

I was really confused as I’ve been using Synctrain on iOS for a while and it’s great but I’d not been to look at the source code or heard of sushitrain. TIL.
