Interestingly, I found this site on HN https://synthshare.com/ https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13607451 From the Show HN post, it appears to run on a "take one, leave one" system of reviews b

Ah, the 90s. Such a great time for, "hey kid, let me show you something." I remember getting semi-private, and slightly off-the-official-track tour of a nuclear power plant by my Dad. His company was involved in servicing the plan

I wouldn't put any stake into a truly permanent solution. Even if you strictly limit who you give your physical address to, or personal cell number, it'll probably leak out somehow with enough time. (ex. Your name, phone and addre

It's a pivot, but check out the indie game Exodus Borealis on Steam. The tower defense part of the game lines up with some of the Desktop Tower Defense features. The enemies path to the goal (your town) is entirely in your control by c

Yep, very much. I think it's a fidget of sorts, to generate stimulation. I guess in order to help stay focused reading blocks of text. If I'm not randomly selecting bits as I read I might be reading it aloud. Otherwise I might loo

I really like carrots because they keep very easily and have such as satisfying crunchy freshness. Mini tomatoes are great when you alternate them with a few tiny mozzarella balls. I also drink lots of coffee.

Effectively, the KVM switch just toggles between "work" and "fun". But I have a nice window facing desk. While the days are currently quite short, it's still a great view.

I have real anxiety about being locked out from "digital self" someday due to issues like this. Sometimes I really think this just isn't worth it anymore and I'm far too invested in "the Internet".

Walking around town enjoying the nice autumn colors. Not every tree makes a good composition for a photo but they're all great to just admire with their golden leaves rustling in the sunlight and gently falling to the ground.

I just discovered yesterday that while the Discord itself does not require it in all cases, certain servers with the highest restrictions can require that you have a phone number verified with Discord in order to post.

I like making photos of landscapes as a hobby. I have a big dSLR camera, nice digital p&s, and my phone. Every time I go out (eg. on a hike) I have to force myself to consider if this is a "photo trip" or a "leisure trip&

No, but I do things to actively limit distractions. I use an alternative launcher on Android called Action Launcher. It supports configurable focus modes I can use to lock down different groups of at certain times of the day. I just don&#x2

It's theoretically possible that the contract could be structured in such a way that "The bearer of this token has rights X, Y, Z over this real or intellectual property", but that's definitely not what is being hyped ri

Is it even a fraud? What rights does holding the NFT give to the source object?

Here's a link to the point in the video where this concept was discussed. It references two classical art paintings, and two photographs from the presenter. https://youtu.be/mC8ol2-V7Ck?t=2116

I was just watching a seminar about color grading in portrait photography and it also talked about luminosity, how it's processed faster than color, and how to account for it while color grading. For artistic affect, it may be preferre

From my understanding Google Voice is still managed more like hacking SMS capabilities onto a "landline" number than being a true mobile operator. I've also started experiencing issues with a certain bank no longer accepting

I think this is fairly logical. There will always be more things that you're "aware of, interested in" than you deeply "know and understand". This leads to more references than notes, and more unread books than read

New office set-up for working from home. An adjustable height desk, an anti-fatigue mat for standing, and also a new office chair for sitting. Also received my Remarkable 2, which I'm quite enjoying.

And not just any phone number either, a certified Mobile Phone Number! Google Voice is slowly getting kicked out of more and more SMS based auth systems.

Still waiting for my Remarkable 2 to arrive (now sometime in October). So frustrating to keep getting so many ads for it.
