I suppose also means this is some kind of Free Decimal Time, vs Swatch Time, which has the hint of proprietary. Thx.

I'm looking for feedback- suggestions to make it better. I already think it should go from being a Markdown to a structured database and generated site sorted by category. What other ways can I make this better and more useful for peop

Why does this not surprise me that you'd do something like the above? Why was UTC more convenient though? (also good to see you active online)

This is great, and I'm genuinely excited by the prospect of a modern set of tools to replace some of these existing systems which, while rock solid for decades, are beginning to show their age. I think once things are a bit more settle

This is a bit tangential, but I'm curious about the migration path from, say Dovecot to something like this. I have a Dovecot mail store ~(10gb of mail) on Mailcow (which is Postfix and Dovecot under the covers) and tools like mbsync f

FIFA they let go, because FIFA wanted to charge them $250m a year if I recall... FIFA wouldn't back down so eventually EA said they'd go out on their own, since they still have to license every specific league separately anyway. N

While many of us are against certain types of patents, this is exactly what patents are for- protecting the invention of an inventor for a very limited time (20 years, it used to be 7 if I recall). In return, society gets the invention &quo

That's a lovely idea, but I simply don't have the ability to do that. I think it's great that we're able to fix our own machines, and I think it's wonderful to teach people to fix their own machines, but it's a

If you go on their website they say that the Intel 12 model, the new one, has better Linux support. I'd love to love these guys, but it's not yet baked enough for me.

I've had my framework for about six months, and it's been an incredibly mixed bag. This isn't a bad laptop by any means, but it's not been a panacea either. The battery life, as other have mentioned, is poor. The Linux s

Have you tried any of the plain text accounting packages? I'm really interested in lived experience of using Gnucash vs, say Beancount or HLedger.

It looks really cool, but I don't see a way to easily self-host despite: https://blog.codecombat.com/we-have-open-sourced-everything/ Did you run your own environment?

This is the most reasonable statement on the topic I've seen. The fact is that Uber/Lyft created a new market even when the product existed a long time. In NYC, you could always get a car service to come and pick you up, but you h

This is a lovely idea, but in practice, has multiple problems. Firstly, if your password must be changed, maybe due to a data breach- you can't change it in your password manager. Secondly, different sites have different requirements o

I don't know which CYA laws say why you can't tell the consumer why they were rejected or not have a review process.

Yes, it was a typo I'll see if I can fix.

The important part in what you said is "internal policies", not laws or regulations. This is why we need regulation that protects people/businesses.

I had a blower that recirculated with a gas stove in NYC, in a newish (2008 I believe) building. New construction in NYC bans gas stoves.

There are a number of differences here that should be noted. Firstly, as you keenly note, we need to define terms like fasting. The kind of fasting people are doing for extended periods always includes water, but more than that, for an exte

Did you know that Arne and I have been working on a more universal secure base storage spec (ie everyone should stop reinventing the base blocks that underlie a secure CAS)? Just curious. :)

You're right. I missed JSON. Sadly YAML, TOML and the others I mentioned are not there (yet?)

This looks absolutely amazing. One thing I do find interesting (and a wish were different) is that only programming languages are supported, rather than data formats as well. For example, two JSON documents may be valid but formatted slight

A local computer store doesn't likely have a lot of flexibility on price. They're working on low margins and are competing in a tight market already with online sellers. They're going to argue that they're offering somet

Since all the comments I've seen thus far have been anti-dealership, I thought I should provide one single solitary reason for dealerships. Before I do- I've never worked at a dealership, or a car company, nor owned a car, nor hav
