What is it that people love about Obsidian? (not trying to throw shade, genuine question as I never understood the hype) Obsidian is not able to open a local folder on my machine stored in Windows Subsystem for Linux, which for me makes it

I've personally been using ts-rest for my projects, which is traditional REST but allows one to autogenerate types and API docs from a zod schema. tRPC seems cool, but seems riskier to go with an alternative to REST or GraphQL, especia

Wow this is amazing. The writing is actually really good too, I love how personable it is, in contrast with a dry boring textbook. Love it, and wish I had this drive at your age.

Criticize Google Maps all you want, but it is easily one of the most useful apps to me, especially as someone who's been been living nomadically the last 5 years. It's kind of scary how dependent I am on this app. Anytime I need t

Are there any non-Apple equivalent of AirTags? Definitely admire this girl's persistence. And shame on United for handling this so poorly.

Who has Musk censored? Censoring mentions of Mastodon was indeed a terrible move, but he did backtrack on that. Was there anything else?

Ok I've never used Rails, but personally I've enjoyed my experience with a monorepo (pnpm workspaces) consisting of a Node.js API server and Next.js frontend server. You could try doing everything in Next.js, but I prefer keeping

Which platforms are TikTok better than? Because I can't think of any. It's junk food for the brain, and I've heard even teenagers tell me that themselves. I think in the future TikTok will be looked back at not unlike the tob

I'm in the same boat in that I have 1k followers and my tweets generally only get 10-30 views, which is pretty pathetic and seems oddly low. But maybe my content just sucks, idk. In any case being a Twitter influencer is not so importa

Notes were terrible though - having to click into a separate page that seemed entirely removed from the app. If I recall one couldn't even see replies to them. (at least that's my memory of it, admittedly it's been a while so

Bill Ackman posts primarily long tweets, and I see it often enough from other random accounts that the feature is definitely being used. But even if it wasn't, just having the option is a nice feature. Always found it absurd how people

I think it's less about ability to retire early, more about realization that being forced to sell one's life and freedom to an employer is not only miserable, but completely unnecessary for society to function (eg. with a UBI soci

FIRE is about financial independence, aka freedom to work on whatever you want. It'd be nonsensical not to strive for financial independence. I'm not FIRE but took most of the last year to work on projects that I enjoy. There&#x27
