Could anyone recommend the same for a software startup? (Lessons learned, mistakes to avoid etc)

The ability in a horizontal menu to go to the last option on the right by going left while being placed on the first menu option?

Similarly going to the bottom last one while being on the first by pressing up.

Read it a few years back and found some answers. Generational trauma does exists I believe. As for the article I think it claimed the whole theory was BS without much backing arguments

Being 47 and still renting I think the piece missed a big issue, which is most prevalent these days: we cannot afford to buy. Anything. Anywhere. I reckon I’m fatally doomed to renting.

Worked for four months as a mountain bike guide on the death road in La Paz. 3600 meters to 4800 getting to the start of the road to about 1000 meters each day, and back. I believe I made many blood cells and nearly died 3 times

Been using Plexamp off a NAS at home that serves music throughout the house (Apple TVs, Plex) or in the car, or anywhere for that matter.

Another issue with Apple and I’m a fully invested die hard. 25 years now. But this is taking too far, I might start looking somewhere else. Fuck this.

iPhone 16 and 16 pro promised to support WiFi 7 but tests show speeds comparable to iPhone 15 pro. A hidden limitation which does not use the 320 MHz bandwidth. It is unknown if Apple will ever deliver a fix or update to support it.

New comment by yrcyrc in "Atlassian is acquiring The Browser Company"

yrcyrc — Thu, 04 Sep 2025 18:22:37 +0000

Been an Atlassian consultant for a while and I just left (Rather I was let go) from an established Atlassian partner, and I can only feel relief. I was always more of a data center on prem person and all this cloud nonsense has been going nowhere, except for them. Those acquisitions are always half baked and you *might see some of it somewhere in a product. All I can say is I’m happy I’m no longer doing Atlassian consulting.

Virtue signalling, hand wrangling and mostly jostling in international affairs. Nothing of consequence. Just daily business

Echoing to this perhaps, I heard birds can react 13 times faster than we do, which is especially useful in flight with hundreds or thousands of other birds.

Very interesting we’ve had infestations here (France) while I was living in the south, adding biogents moquitaire traps is also successful as a complement, April onwards to October. But I love the name bucket of death. Tiger mosquitoes are such an annoyance

yrcyrc — Tue, 22 Jul 2025 20:55:54 +0000

Had a new Kia for the past five years and there were no issues apart from a speaker replaced under warranty. I cannot trust PSA, Renault, Stellantis or any other brands anymore. (Takata airbags) As for those flagships from renowned brands, it feels like a trend. I ‘did’ trust Volvo but won’t anymore. The way it was handled is particularly poor.
