Every once in a while, I have to figure out an IntelliJ indexing issue. I've got a personal Claude sub and access to Claude for work, so will not be using the JetBrains AI sub. If the indexing gets worse, or paying more for their AI becomes mandatory, I'll be done and back to Emacs, which is what I've been using for Claude anyway. Not there yet tho.

I asked a former truck driver once and his answer was that it's easier to see what's in front of you than behind you. I wondered why people in our neighborhood backed into their driveways at first, then I realized this was indeed true. If I turn into the street and back into my driveway, somebody probably hasn't jumped behind my car. If I get in my car and back out of my driveway, somebody walking/biking along may not notice my car backing out of the driveway, and my old potato backup camera isn't always the best at illuminating people behind my car at night in bad weather.

Every. Time. No, I'm not interested in something with a similar name on the other side of the planet, I'm interested in the thing that is a 10-20min. drive away from me.

My LG dryer was using wifi to advertise an extended warranty for itself.

Then it broke, maybe I should have bought the warranty?

I bought a simpler model without wifi this time.


What are you talking about, in what way is this supposed to be an argument about ads? It sounds like your dryer broke


The "buy the extended warranty" thing is clearly an ad.


Osprey backpacks have worked well for me.


Somebody whipped out a freakin iPad and started recording video in front of me once. Like wtf


I hope you told them to stop. I always do. And that's not out of any copy infringement morals or anything, but of course out of a personal enjoyment infringement. ;-)


Yeah, I get that :) But at the same time, it’s interesting how people react differently. Some want the moment only for themselves, others want to capture it.


I get this. At the same time, people want to capture something real while they’re there. Feels like a trade-off.


Nope. By disturbing all the people around you with a bright screen, you prevent them from capturing the real concert right now they want to see without a flickering screen in front of them.

And personally I can record, or enjoy the real moment. But most people who record with their crappy smartphones probably just want to get the virtual recognition after they shared their videos, they were there, "like", great. But no one I know, actually watches shaky crappy smartphone concert recordings.

Also during the Dot Com era. Pretty much every cycle lead to more people getting into the field.


Yeah, I was surprised that something this obvious wasn't addressed.

Investing in a visual redesign (Liquid Glass) but not an obvious UX issue of the notch hiding icons seems like a mis-prioritization.
