   I _really_ tried to learn Perl back in the 90s, but PHP was what “unlocked” server-side scripting for me.

   I like to listen to audiobooks -- old favorites where I already am familiar with the content. Set a 10 minute sleep timer and that's usually enough.

   I imagine that the folks who would pay $100k for a car probably won't quibble about a measly $1k subscription.

   Yeah, the unique Metro UI and good-looking Nokia phones had me interested. Though it wasn't enough for me to actually pony up the cash to buy one. Guess that was part of the problem!

   I reluctantly bought an official Apple case to use with my iPhone 13 mini, due to the giant camera lenses. Guess what? The case itself isn't flat! The lenses are so large that the case itself has guard bumps around the camera opening.

   I usually “sell” Firefox along with uBlock Origin. You’re correct that out of the box functionality for Firefox isn’t super compelling, but regular users notice the improved browsing experience that comes with the blocker.

    I mean, both liberals and conservatives have some viewpoints that I don't agree with, and that's OK. Where I draw the line is the whole "I didn't lose, it's fraud!" thing that is gaining popularity. Everyone ha

    It's about the dopamine hit you get when you buy something you think is cool.

    ATK stuff is super high quality. Like you said, probably worth it just to avoid reading the author's life story prior to the recipe on random food blogs.

    Just paid for a year of this service. As others have mentioned, it's not perfect, but it fits into my life right now -- it selects kanji/vocab for me, and feeds me a steady drip based on how much time I can invest. I feel better a

    I was actually curious about this. I didn't realize that HomeKit-compatible doorbells existed. The product page for the Logitech Circle View Wired Doorbell (the least expensive listed on apple.com) notes "Receive rich notification

    > why should I pick perl instead of Python or Ruby? Nostalgia, maybe.

    Doesn’t seem too bad to me, given that almost all the press I’ve read about it has been negative.

    Yeah, I dunno, anecdotally all the homeschooled kids I knew were fine socially.

    Exactly. At the point where the question is being asked, you already know the answer.

    I think some aggregators, like Jason Kottke, post lots of interesting things, but not usually the weird, unpolished, personal stuff that I associate with the 90s web. Something like early Yahoo would be cool.

    As a web developer, https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/@media/pref... is pretty cool, but discoverability is a problem I think.

    What makes you trust Kagi more than DDG? Is their crawling/ranking algo open source?

    Yeah, I'll second the recommendation to quit early in the month, take some time off, then start the next job before the next month.

    Yeah, I knew about heatmaps, but my eyes were opened further by a product that my current company uses that can replay a user’s actions on the entire site — it’s like watching over their shoulder.

    A previous company did. Reliability seemed fine; it was a way to ensure no PHI/PII was accidentally sent to a 3rd party as part of an error report.
