I've been using a dongle I found on Amazon in 2017 with the description "Plugable USB Bluetooth 4.0 Low Energy Micro Adapter" [1] Unfortunately, I don't remember if I've installed or adjusted anything on the OS. One

Never tried the IKA Markus, but I've had quite a few office chairs quickly go downhill at the 2-3 year mark. I'm pretty big at 6'6" / 275lbs, and I am legitimately in my chair for 50+ hours per week, so that may hav

I've used quite a few office chairs over the years - mostly in the $200-$300 range, and before I decided to buy the Embody, I went to the Design In Reach store to try it out. I'm 6'6", so making sure I could actually fi

I should have added quotes for clarity. Just edited my comment. I definitely learned quiet a bit from that book, and every recipe is written as if you've never read the others, so it's easy to jump around. I've been baking b

Definitely not faster, but as the other commenter said, it's far more precise. The result is exactly as you set it every time with no variation. It's also far more forgiving, which tends toward the lesser variation. It definite

I've found using a french-press with luke-warm water for about 12 hours works great. Probably not as strong as the cold-brew machine, but perfectly fine for my needs in the summer time.

Absolutely agreed. Just got the AA Wireless dongle a couple weeks ago via an IndiGogo campaign and absolutely love it. The music is a bit choppy using the dongle, so for long trips, I still plug the phone in. But when out running errands

After the first week or so I ended up ignoring the bluetooth, and liked cooking so much more without trying to connect to the thing. I got the newer version with Wifi which connects well every time, but I don't care about the connecti

I really like the 2s. Besides just being an all-around excellent mouse, the scroll-wheel that just spins forever is probably my favorite feature - sometimes to scroll a long page - sometimes just as sort of a fidget spinner. I want the 3 f

Sometimes you can find the M18 Drill and Impact driver together on sale. The two of those and an extra battery are probably the most used tools in my house.

I also have these headphones. Along with an 18-month-old who loves to hear how high his voice can be, and a cat that can be heard cleaning itself from half a block away, and a bad case of misophonia. These headphones give me peace. Someti

rrd and cacti are considerably more complicated and far less useful than prometheus and grafana. I generally agree with the rest of your point, but the new-fangled infrastructure tools do have some merit and I look forward to seeing where w

The social aspect is the part I missed most. It was a good rss reader, to be sure, but plenty others exist. But the surrounding conversation was strictly with people who I followed. I may be misremembering it a bit, but I recall that mos

This is fairly unrelated, and late enough after this was posted that not many will see this, but it's interesting how marketing works. I fast-forwarded through an ad for Morning Brew after some youtube video the other day and thought t

It might be time to just shut off slack for a few hours a day. It's probably frowned upon in some places, but when I _really_ need to focus (during daytime hours), I generally shut down slack, email, my phone, etc. Generally, the teams

My favorite working hours, of all time, are 11pm-7am. I get more done in that 8-hour stretch than any other. There's less local news. There's nobody to call or text. There are no deliveries. Slack is quiet. My email is quiet.

I've put a huge emphasis on sleep in the past year, as someone who used to sleep about 4 hours a night. I've found that giving myself a solid hour to wind down helps immensely with slowing my brain down and letting me sleep more p

I've gotten incredibly far with packer-generated amis, a few build scripts and systemd to keep everything humming along. The only part I'm not a fan of is re-building amis due to the amount of time it takes to bake them.

The one time I'm actually reading HN for actually relevant information for actual work, it's down for half a day. Made for a great excuse to take a nap.

I use an android client for HN, but the _only_ feature I actually want is for the collapse and vote buttons to be big enough for human fingers on mobile. Being able to unvote helps, but one of the only reasons I ever need to unvote is beca

It seems that you not only agree, but argue further that source code is a liability.
