Re:The Browser Company (Arc, Dia) Has Been Acquired by Atlassian on Thursday September 04, 2025 @03:25PM (#45131238)
Surely the Browser Company will move to Jira, even though it's using a direct competitor for Product Management... https://linear.app/customers/browsercompany Heh.

Curious what you think.

Curious to check this out, since they say it can run on a 4090 / Mac with >32 GB of RAM.

Looks pretty sweet!
Re:GitHub 404 errors on Friday November 03, 2023 @03:07PM (#38133544)
Yeah, completely blocked from pushing or pulling. Also, right before it looked like their slack integration notifs were delayed. Maybe their queue processing of that broke the site.
If your state or corporate actor can do this, it is just the beginning.

The idea that they scrape transaction data is unsettling

If you like Topre keyboards, the Leopold FC660C is fantastic. Really quality build and super comfortable to type on. A lot better than HHKB, in my humble opinion :)
Re:Me and ADHD on Monday February 01, 2021 @06:11PM (#25995414)
I was diagnosed with ADHD around age 12 in early school. For about 10 years, I was on a lot of stimulant medication; Vyvanse, Adderall, Concerta, and tried many others. Only in the last couple years did I stop entirely. You get used to the sleep impairment after a while. It affected my ability to socialize. I was making excuses for my behavior and largely, I could summarize it as "feeling like a zombie, entirely reliant on a pill." My opinion on it now is that it can help you, but now I prefer to be in my default mode, unencumbered by meds.
Robinhood bugged out as I attempted to sell some of my AMC this morning. The Market Sell order barely went through and was visually glitched for 10 minutes.
Re:The nihilism of r/wallstreetbets on Monday January 25, 2021 @04:14PM (#25908985)
Yes. The former creator of WSB, jartek, was removed from the subreddit because he masqueraded as 'WSBgod' an anon user with crazy gains, but it was fake. He also sold ad space in the about section for $1500.

Member of WSB here, no expert

The narrative of GME has been building for weeks before any news coverage happened. This isn't the first stock to blow up from WSB, but there are a few others in past weeks (none that have reached GME levels) such as BB, PLTR, and previously ABNB (whatever new stock that has IPO'd).

There are a handful of users that have $1M positions (some smaller ones, like a user that reported $250k into $7M, back down to $4.2M). Collectively, the community appears to drive hype towards different stocks based on flimsy things.

Without a doubt there's HFT (High frequency trading) happening, but these social communities are having an impact.

Re:DoorDash S-1 on Friday November 13, 2020 @11:37AM (#25084005)
Hopefully if this goes well they can cleanup their app. As a regular user, one of the main problems is the order tab. It loads very slowly. The location of the dasher updates infrequently but instantly if I hard close the app. Otherwise, their product is effective and pretty nice with Dash pass.
Re:How Discord Won on Monday October 19, 2020 @05:01PM (#24830982)
Discord is an order of magnitude better. It challenged the rigid voice chat where text chat was a secondhand feature, where voip was unreliable, and where a sense of community was lacking. It cultivated all of that. Now you see streamers, gamers, and groups of friends making Discords for their communities.

Hey, thanks for this. Going to check it out
