I'm curious about the tagline "Ideal for resumes or team sites". Why is this ideal for these use cases, and how would it be implemented, and what is the benefit?

That's actually pretty clever. Credit where it's due.

Nothing really poignant to say about this, other than thanks OP for posting something positive to read today.

It sounds like your job sucks more than your field. And I'm not saying that to discredit your point of view. I know. I've been there. My last job was pretty bad and it left me wondering whether I hated the job, or the field. I ended up at a far better job in the same field (not without it's drawbacks, of course) and it turned out to definitely be the job all along.

Thank you (and all other respondents) for clarifying that. The website doesn't do a great job of explaining it.

So this is a third party application (or one of several) I can download and install to make editing a text file sitting on my desktop easier and more accessible? Easier and more accessible than, say, opening it in Notepad? I apologize if I'm being snide, but I don't understand the use case here. This just seems like one extra step on an already very simple process.

I don't get it. I mean, I understand what I'm looking at; a word cloud of music genres that is each linked to a sample. That part I got. But when you label your website 'Every Noise at Once'... I kind of expect to hear multiple (perhaps not 'every') noises at the same time.

Pardon a nitpick moment.

"Boeing’s control software ... was called DICE, or Decision Mission-Control Software."

Okay, well, I see where the D and the C in the acronym comes from, but...

Seconded. I've complained before about websites that try to get too magazine with their articles and how it ruins the narrative. But this? This is done really, really well.

"I Opted Out of Facial Recognition at the Airport – It Wasn't Easy"

"I had to ... speak with a Delta representative at their information desk ... then request a passport scan when it was my turn to board."

That sounds relatively easy, actually.

I agree on at least the first half of your statement. Although I'm not sure I'd say 'delusional' as much as - I don't know? - Jingoistic? Bombastic? I feel like I should be playing Command and Conquer to that sound track. At the end of the day, these are killing machines that are being designed to take human lives, and it does feel more than a bit inappropriate. I think that's what you're getting at with the latter half.

And I can corroborate.

A while back someone posted a comment on another story about travel and tourism - I forget who - basically saying that travel is the ultimate extension of selfishness and narcissism. I disagreed, and I still do, but I will agree with that statement entirely when it concerns Instagram influencers.

Aside: Shout out to the telemarketer who pressured me to get a land line years ago because they're the only guaranteed access to emergency numbers and "never go down."

Thanks for that warning. It's appreciated. I had to take a break in the middle of the article before continuing.
