I hadn’t really paid attention to DMR because I was so cozy inside the kindle bubble. That notification that Amazon was going to take away the ability to download books was a very strong wake up call… When ok buys a book for kindle, it seem

Something I found interesting when learning about flash was how it is manufactured and how much reliable single layer cells are (SLC) There’s certainly a very visible increase in price and decrease in capacity but it’s certainly interesting

I find this funny from people that make their living from $$ from software! Lol But apart from that Bruno is open source (MIT), you can fork it and have it anyway you want… The paid option seems just like the traditional open source model o

I find myself often suspicious of "free" tiers, because it seems to be that 1. the terms can change at any time or 2. "free" can be removed at any time. I had used CF Pages and I really really liked all the tools it gave

I personally gave up on attempting to find a job. I’ve been learning about trading and my best buddy trades for a living, so I’m jumping full time on that because might as well… The usual disclaimers apply about losing money etc etc… but ap

I always find it interesting when people assume that just because something is out of their awareness is dead… I learned Perl not too long ago and it is an absolute beast at text processing, a lot less annoying than Python and pip install a

This is a fun read! I think something interesting about the news and its supposedly predictive power is that the market already discount the news. If you look at the daily and weekly charts for SP500, it has been on a bill run, for a bunch

I quite enjoy selling stuff n Etsy. The products and buyers there are not on a race to the bottom for the absolute cheapest thing (maybe it is so in things like shirts or mug or whatever) but instead I see the buyers as people expecting and

I guess it is survivorship bias, but I’d never be one of the survivors if I don’t even try. I have an Etsy product, Christmas tree ornament, has made about $600 gross last year and another $400 or so this year… It’s not much but now I have

Hi, and congrats on the launch! I'm curious about how this service compares to, say, the offerings of zero expense mutual funds from Fidelity of Schwab? I guess there's a lot more variety since I don't think those brokers hav

This comment reminded me of the TV show I've been recently watching on Netflix, Pantheon. It's about a different technical breakthrough (I don't want to put any spoilers), but it's also something that completely alters s

Wow, this was super helpful! I’ve always have that underlying question of “why is it always ln -s” and ln -s just became a muscle memory without any reason. Good post!

That is great news! I moved to KDE about a year ago and was blown away by how refined and customizable the experience is. Won’t be moving away from Void but I’m glad to see KDE having more mainstream access and support!

Uff, I’m so sorry to hear! I can see how that joke could be really not funny for someone that has gone through some crappy stuff. I hope you stay strong as you work through such a rough life-changing diagnosis.
