Did you know your MacBook has a sensor that knows the exact angle of the screen hinge?

It’s not exposed as a public API, but I figured out a way to read it and make it sound like an old wooden door.

The car in front of me had the plate "DCODER" and now I'm thinking where it means "Decoder" or "The Coder".

Amazon Ring is introducing a new feature that would allow police to request live-stream access to people’s home security devices.

Helllll no. If you have one of those things, get rid of it. Kill it with fire

Ask any popular AI tool to create a "random saas idea" application for you. It will use react and it will likely use react-query. Both libs had huge growth since April.

Wouldn't it be nice to do static imports in JS?

`values(groupBy(strs, sort))`

instead of

`Object.values(Object.groupBy(strs, sort))`

Trying out leetcode for the first time, I haven't written so many for loop in a long time.
Feeling like people good with leetcode would write unreadable code in real world app.

Considering children are the future and the future tax payers, $2000 child tax credit seems very low compared to the cost of raising a child and the opportunity cost for the parents.

Lying down with the kid to make him sleep while you've plenty of pending chores is a special kind of restless rest.
p.s. Humans would be so much better with a switch to fall asleep.
