Call me crazy, but those icons are not different enough to be quickly readable. If the open and close icons on the elevator were distinct from one another words wouldn't be necessary, but the exact same icons rotated 180 degrees are indeciperable at a glance.

It takes noticeable processing time to know which is which. Especially with a button that you need to hit as quickly as possible to hold the door for someone, those icons should be widely different from one another. I can't count the number of times I've meant to hit the open button to hold the elevator for someone only to accidentally hit the close button just in time to make eye contact with the person we've left behind.

I'd like Touch ID to start working again on my MacBook. After updating to Tahoe, it has just stopped working entirely to wake up my computer.

Also, every menu with double rounded borders needs to be cleaned up. The worst offender is the left side of the Finder, it looks absolutely horrible.

Been working on documenting as much publicly-accessible stained glass as possible with https://stainedglassatlas.com/. No fancy tech (vanilla HTML/CSS/JS). Come document any local stained glass in your area!

Always looking for contributors if you know of stained glass in your area!

They are listed right there on the website. Add one to your cart and check out. What's impossible about that?

Sceptre TVs. They sell large, dumb TVs that do not contain any networking equipment at all.

Building a platform for documenting all of the publicly accessible stained glass (something akin to Find-a-grave.com, but for stained glass). No exciting tech, just vanilla HTMl, CSS, and JS. Glad to have any help on documenting local stained glass in your area!

Couldn’t you use another search engine instead? I switched to DDG over a year ago and have only needed to use the -g flag a handful of times over that entire year+ worth of searches.

I think you are 100% right. Let's ban social media for all ages and wipe this scourge from the planet.

Trying to document and map as much of the publicly accessible stained glass as possible. The goal being the next time you visit a new city or town, you'll know where all the beautiful stained glass is to go see. Just recently added support for countries outside of North America. No exciting tech (vanilla HTML/CSS/JS). But excited for folks to check it out!

This is essentially the premise of Bowling Alone. The solution is not easy, but it is simple. We as individuals need to rebuild community in our towns and cities. Start a club, start a pickup soccer game that meets regularly, join existing fraternal societies that are aching for new members or start your own new society. Volunteer at your local food bank regularly.

If you know your neighbors, you are less likely to run them down on your e-bike.

I work for one of those “evil” email software companies. Part of our business is external marketing and the much larger part of our business is internal employee communications. For over 15 years we kept track of the number of people who used HTML emails and the number of people who opted for plain text emails. It was something in the realm of 0.1% of all mail recipients had opted for plain text. That was in 2015. Today, that number would probably be even lower. So we stopped offering multipart emails entirely because the cost/benefit analysis doesn’t add up.

HTML emails aren’t sent only because that’s what the senders want. They are sent because that’s what the recipients want.

I would argue that the fatal flaw of this idea is that it is an online app. If this was solvable with technology, Meetup.com has a 15 year head start on you and they didn't solve it.

I think technology is antithetical to the goal you are working toward. Instead, start a local group and have a "all cellphones go here" basket when members enter so that when they are there, they are fully engaged and not doom scrolling the entire time.

I've looked into all of these orgs and every single one of them requires the belief in a "God". That has to be a huge turn off to a lot of younger people who might have been interested in joining for the social parts of the group. All of them lost any interest from me because I'm not going to take an initiation oath claiming to believe in a God that I don't believe in.

If they really want new members, they need to self-reflect on antiquated requirements that might turn off younger people from joining their organization.

I mean I already can't find what I'm looking for because everything is so SEO'd to hell and back that rather than seeing what I've searched for, I see what makes Google the most money.

I'm as anti-AI as anyone, but what's the difference between LLM garbage and SEO garbage?

But what about those egg prices?

Working on a site to help people find stained glass windows to visit in their towns/cities. No exciting tech (vanilla HTML/CSS/JS) and lots of data entry, but making some decent progress!

I didn't start learning to code until around 2014, so I didn't know SO before this change. But when you make your platform so militantly anti-helpful, militantly anti-newbie, and just all around unpleasant to interact with, then it shouldn't be a huge surprise to anyone that people stop using it. There's over half a human generation of learners who have had almost entirely negative experiences with SO.

I'm working on a side project now and I'm using Nominatum at the moment. Normalization of addresses is the real pain point for Nominatum. Sometimes something as simple as "Avenue" vs "Ave" can be the difference between finding a matching location and not finding a match.

Any comparisons that includes address normalization (in addition to price, usability of the API, etc.) would be a great help.

Anyone know of a robust comparison of these services?

Sceptre make great dumb TVs. Had one for years and have no complaints aside from the sound isn't great. But tack on a sound bar and it's been maybe my favorite TV I've ever owned.

I'm working on a project to document all publicly accessible stained glass in North America. The tech itself isn't anything exciting (vanilla HTML/CSS/JS and using Bootstrap for UI).

All the work is in collecting and entereing data and hopefully recruiting folks around the country to go to their local church/synagogue/mosque, government building, or glass shop/studio and taking photos and collecting information on glass pieces.

Site is still a work in progress, but if anyone out there is interested you can find it here: https://www.stainedglassatlas.com

For those who drink caffeine and have reflux, try shift to decaf. I still drink the same amount of coffee as I did before, only now it is decaf rather than regular. Acid reflux disappeared to the point I didn't need a daily PPI anymore. I still have a caffeine every once in a while, but multiple daily caffeinated beverages was the cause of my reflux.

For me, it wasn't the coffee it was the caffeine. Switched to decaf and my acid reflex disappeared nearly instantly. Try slowly swapping out 1 cup of regular for decaf, followed by another, followed by another, until you are off of regular coffee entirely. Over a surprisingly short-ish time, that "I feel sleepy without coffee" thing will go away and if you're in the same boat as me, your reflux will disappear too.

I bought a Ford Maverick a few weeks back and absolutely loving it. It’s the size of what used to be the Ranger before the Ranger grew to be an F150, the F150 grew to be an F250, and so on.

I have a job where I do actual work. I have clients who require my assistance to perform their jobs effectively. However, the jobs _they_ are doing fundamentally do not add value to the world. In turn, that means my job adds nothing of value to the world. Yes, I am on anti-depressant medications primarily because I am wasting my time on this planet performing a bullshit job.

Nah...Apple Watch batteries last 2-3 days nowadays with the proper settings. There are cellular Apple Watches available that do not require the paired phone to be close to make calls, texts, etc.

Maybe some of those employees don't want to return to Blizzard offices _in particular_ considering that's where many of them were outright sexually assaulted?
