Carlos does amazing work with Blink Shell on iOS (the recent/coming features are great improvements.) and this looks really nice and well thought out. Hits all the good stuff: 1. Doesn't reinvent encryption or methods 2. Open sour

Tesla is having a hard time these days, but if Elon was at all serious a few years ago he can know he made all the major car makers start to retool. I never would have thought GM, Ford, and etc. would so seriously commit to making EVs even

I like lines-spent as a measure, but I wish I could figure out a hybrid measure which didn't hurt lines which confirm/narrow the state space (such as the "unnecessary asserts to show programmer intent"). Somehow being ab

There is a neat book I picked up in Highschool called The Manual: The Ultimate Study Method . It was cool. It advocated multiple forms of meditation for concentration training so you could speed read a book. Using your increased concentrat

Social media is about getting attention via free, easy to use, and highly distributed platforms. It has _very little_ to do with being social or staying in touch with friends and _everything_ with being a mini media business with the goal o

IIRC many of the period tracking apps sold their user's data. Seems like a good reason for Apple to introduce a version which uses the OS level features to keep data synced and in the user's hands.

In iOS 13 they opened up the APIs. Not clear what that's going to mean yet for Yubikey and etc.

They mention encrypted volumes for offline backups and storing files which must be encrypted. For cross platform I'm guessing VeraCrypt is the recommended software now right?

Interesting bit about money since it's mentioned in there: Most economics give the same version in the notes which is that money just kind of _sprang up_ out of no where to solve this problem of trade, but it's actually very likel

In this case Evernote is far more than just CRUD and you can see that by comparing it to the CRUD self-hosted alternatives which exist and have sub-par syncing, editing, organization, and indexing. For all it's flaws, which caused them

I find things like this funny because Email is often much worse for getting ideas across and VERY FEW people put their whole idea in an Email and simply treat it with chat + 6 line signatures. Where I've worked email has simply been a

Most of your facebook data is likely not considered, or was not treated as, PII so this unlikely to have been applied to all the extra data about you.

Security and peace of mind. The "full" Linux is sandboxed and more like an App than a full OS (think WSL). The ChromeOS part is already tightly locked down too. On things like the Pixelbook you have very strong hardware and firmwa

Yes Scuttlebutt is a big inspiration among others. I believe the primary change/improvement I'm making is that it runs on the device and is also focused on the user's data instead running on a server or doing distributed soci

I mean, that's what a pay wall is isn't it? think of all things people do on HN to go around those. Solving a captcha is probably worse because it's not annoying enough to go around so you actually just have to do it, but now

How many visitors to HN or Twitter are often here because they reached a hard or tedious part of their task and you rationalized "giving yourself a break"? I know I have. I added the noprocrast setting to HN to interrupt this ha
