I see an article by Julia, I upvote it. Always excellent. I learn something every time Julia writes something for us to read.

It does - mostly (only?) using plaid. I tried YNAB for a few months. It's not really for me. But it was able to sync _most_ of my accounts without issue. I've been trying out Monarch more recently (which seems to use plaid, mx,

Maybe because I watch a good deal of youtube almost every day, but I do not see these sort of results.

Just dropped it as well after maybe a decade of membership. Waiting an extra couple days for shipments has been fine. We don't trust Amazon as a store anymore anyway so we don't order much from there.

Agreed. Although I took the cover off my old Samsung (s10e) about 18 months ago in the hopes for an excuse to replace it. I've dropped it and banged it on things and other such random potential damage so many times and there's b

Same in Chicago. We can generally put things in the alley if it's not blocking anyone.

Very true. This process went much faster in Brooklyn. But also there were more people willing to pay for decent-quality things. It hasn't been bad in Chicago, but definitely slower and the prices have to be lower for used things.

The bigger issue is that I don't have a means to transport it. If I can find someone to pay me to come get it, it's a win-win. But every day the price drops. And if it's not gone by this afternoon, it's going to the a

That's basically what's happening this evening, although I will be putting out a post about the free couch in the alley - and if nobody gets it on time, Chicago's garbage trucks pretty much take _anything_.

The addiction is real and strange. A couple years ago, I removed most social media out of my life; anything on my phone with a public "friends" or "follows" list. I can't put my finger on it, but overall I found mys

Right there with you. I was a huge fan of AS3 and build some great client projects with it. When using types, it very closely resemble Typescript in a lot of ways. I was hoping for open standards and eventual direct browser integration.

View source was my launchpad. Minimizers and compilers are great, but I so miss reading through the well manicured and maintained source of a well-designed site. I wish we could have gone with a type of compression that allowed us to keep t

I don't disagree with your point, but this is a false premise.

So many things went wrong here, on so many levels. Our systems are falling apart and we're not doing enough about it. We definitely shouldn't be relying on companies like this to fill the gaps.

I'm using the power monitoring feature on a "heavy duty" z-wave power switch (zooz zen-15) to track the power usage. When it jumps over a threshold for at least a couple seconds, I assume the appliance is on, and then when i

When I first read this post, it helped me decide not to try to adjust my home automation app for the masses. I have a single JavaScript file that runs all the automations in my house. Everything runs on Mqtt and this file handles all timer

One that comes to mind is Arlington Heights, IL, a suburb to Chicago. It's very walkable and the places you can walk to are work walking to. My wife and I had to spend a week there and had lots of great meals throughout the day at va

I worked on a couple projects in the early aughts like this (php / mysql). Even did it myself for a project and fortunately learned my lesson early enough to fix that very project and rely in the database to handle data integrity. Alw

My biggest peeve when I visited Memphis. My wife went to Graceland, which I was excited to avoid. A couple buddies and I went to Sun Records for a tour. So many black rock pioneers recorded there and they got about 10 minutes of lip servi

With a recent project, I was _moderately_ successful by providing a jsonschema to follow for the response. I still had to sanitize the json a bit, but the fixes were minor and the resulting data otherwise fit the schema well.

I wish my local market had two piles - ripe and unripe. That way I'd have one ready for use immediately and can ripen the others as needed.

First thing I tried. If it were _truly_ silly, it would have a cross-eyed photo. I think it's fantastic, otherwise.

I don't necessarily disagree with most points made here, but this has a close resemblance to the arguments so many seemed to have when gnome 3 was released because the "start button" (or "panels") was replaced. It&

I didn't know that, thanks. Also, I don't think it's _not_ worth going up there for the sunrise. It is. It's beautiful, and probably worth the drive. I mostly just think it's weird that nobody even _mentions_ the

I had planned a trip to the Haleakala Crater in Maui for the highly-recommended sunrise, and our airBnb turned out to have a pretty significant ant problem, so we ended up going a few hours early. I don't know why anyone would even men
