Another piece of advice was that on a standing desk your forearms should not be parallel to the ground but slightly below your elbow.

The early days of blogging, the distribution came from RSS feed readers. The minute those fell out of fashion, the distribution loop of self-publishing disappeared.

Medium was clever because it kind of created that built-in but it never took off.

The distribution loop has always been social media which is now drowned out with other noise (you don't need me to explain that dire state of social media).

The nth conclusion becomes newsletters because email remains the lowest common denominator of distribution (other than maybe text message but that isn't appropriate here).

I am a founder of a publishing platform (WP Engine) and my entire SWE background is content management. But I'm the first to admit that distribution is everything.

I think maintaining a personal blog or site is important to be able to have a source of record of important stuff you write. But it's a backup. It's not a destination for distribution.

Raising the monitor so that the top is as close to eye level as possible (while maintaining a straight back) is better orthopedicly.

It's impossible to achieve this and a good keyboard posture, so you must introduce an external keyboard.

Without an external keyboard, there is no value in using a stand, you might as well just keep the laptop in a neutral position.

They try to hide it from the front page (a bit of a dark pattern) but you don't need to download the plugin to use it, just visit https://www.fakespot.com/analyzer

For example, look how many different types of database they offer (many achieve the same objective but different instantiation)

Which is how you have Hulk Hogan involved in Trump rallies.

It all goes back to Gawker...

From being involved with high altitude spy planes and stealth planes during the Cold war through to thinking about the many satellites that are put into space that relates to national security and even the clandestine space plane, we have no idea what it's for...

There is simply no precedent to be upset about a lack of transparency from NASA. Some of that is national security. Some of that is to protect IP. Some of it is just because of the way governments work.

Factor in that actually it may relate to a private company's operational issue (SpaceX) there's even less reason for transparency.

I don't think we will ever know

Don't you just buy the capsules and put them into your regarchable vape? Or if you want to get exotic e liquid. I would assume that's much cheaper than buying a whole device each time much must cost more $$/££.

The joke I always like to make is that in the US everything is legal unless the government legislates to say you can't, in Europe everything is illegal unless the government legislates to say you can. :D

As someone who has been a hiring manager for both roles I would suggest that they are reasonably different skillsets and personalities and not sure there's a high degree of overlap. If you fall into one camp I think it's better to hire for the other than to try to do both, assuming you are trying to achieve any kind of higher-order quality of work product.

I know some of the developer team at ACF personally - they're excellent people, making brilliant code, and most of them are putting huge efforts into WP as an open source project even aside from their efforts in maintaining and extending ACF.

The ACF team wiring that open source ACF code are on WP Engine's payroll.

I have spent my entire career messing around with APIs and platforms and I have no interest in doing this DIY. oAuth into Oura ring's servers, which is totally available to you, is just fine.

If privacy is this much of a concern, why wear a trackable wearable in the first place?

(it was priced for a more basic spec than in the title. If you played with the configuration the spec in the title came to $219.99. You can make your own determination whether that was as good value)

Cost me $100 'used' (open box), SSD, decent RAM and even a copy of Windows I didn't need. Install *nix, run it headless, good to go.

You can go cheaper but at a certain point who cares if it's $80 for an unknown brand or $100 for Lenovo, etc.

Small form factor, it can tuck in with wherever you store your router, or buy an aftermarket rack kit if you run rackmount network components like I do. OR 3D print one https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4769452

Eg https://www.ebay.com/itm/186591932407 - this is a great project server that can probably run tons of docker containers (depending on what you are doing).

I mean, you do you but that's kind a extreme.

...when you look at the zero-to-one of standing up Tesla and SpaceX from nothing, he's achieved something quite amazing - twice. Boeing has over a century of engineering experience and it has experienced more problems and more delays getting Starliner into operation than SpaceX did with Dragon.

Both Tesla and SpaceX have demonstrated fresh thinking, new ideas and new approaches to tired and incumbent thinking in both the automotive and aeronautical industries. While also getting the basics right. People bitch about panel gaps in Model 3's but Model 3s and Ys are actually the safest cars the EPA has ever tested in their class.

I think Boring Company is a bit silly and I'm not sure Elon can apply his thinking to X, but I wonder if we'll see similar performance to Tesla and SapceX from Neuralink.

I hold $TSLA and I would hold SpaceX if I could obtain some, I don't have any interest in holding $BA

As a SWE/EngMgr turned VC, I'm curious if there's startups or commercial companies providing some kind of assurance here (but also worried the $ TAM for solving this problem probably isn't enough to make it a standalone business).

Yes this article is about commercial real estate but it shows something is actually very broken from a credit market perspective - my loan is probably going to be underwater for the financier (JPMC assumed from FRB) for the rest of the term (just on the fed rate, but then I'm also making a margin on the leveraged capital. And tax deductions on the interest.).
