At the risk of sounding mean, Threads really is the dumbest place on the Internet. It’s vapid beyond anything I’ve ever experienced.

I use Sequel Ace on macOS. I'm so used to it, thats it's one of the reasons I don't use Postgres LOL

Totally seperate. I learn never to cross pollinate. If I want to use my Apple Music subscription, then I’ll use my iPhone. Your work laptop is not your laptop. Make seperate account and just abandon then when you switch jobs.

I opened it and immediately saw a post from GaryVee. Who was sanctimoniously instructing people to 'collectively be more civil'. Not a platform I want to use, but the App seemed decent; smooth UI animations, clean interface, simpl

Outside of SV and a few other zones around the world, most people just want to have a half decent business I suspect. For me, living in an obscure part of Australia, I’m happy with a business that means I don’t have to commute and work in s

I just checked, I have some invite codes! I’ll DM you! EDIT: realised you can’t DM on HN How can I send a code to you? If you want one that is, you might not be bothered :-) EDIT EDIT: I’m using the Hack App on my Phone, I think maybe I c

It's weird isn't it! The reverse of how we think it works from external observation alone. It's totally normal to think they grow like nails, but only twice.

although they genuinely killed Quark Xpress by making a better product with Indesign. Whilst Quark totally dropped the ball and failed to innovate and update for modern MacOS. Quark had as good as a 100% of the market before InDesign came a

They’ll just roll it into their Creative Cloud sub. Probably. It will replace XD.

The logical flaw in that argument is assuming that home owners care about money. Many don’t, or money is not the primary motivation. Protecting their lifestyle location is likely a stronger motivator. I don’t want even a low rise apartment

On the VC moving to Mastodon bit: I guess that’s a very SV centric perspective? I live in an obscure part of Australia, and the less VC posts I see the better. If I saw a post from @jason I’d know it was time to leave ;-) But seriously, for

That’s interesting! I signed up, and poked around a bit. But by and large I decided I was done with that public style of social media. Now I’m pretty much just HN, and some Dark Social; Telegram, iMessage and FB Messenger friends groups. Do

The issue I see is that the Tech Community, that form and influence opinions, is going to be cautious about investing time in another private social media company. Mastodon has the mind share already as the de facto Twitter replacement. Blu

Maybe we need some sort of self-identifying system. Like SSH keys, where you manage your own identity and then share a public key to each instance that identifies you to that instance. Like an identity client you could self manage if you w

The same was true of JS. But AFAIK, there is only CSS and JS. You used to have to declare the Script tag as JS, but you don’t anymore since HTML5. Because all scripts are JS. I don’t think SASS and LESS count, as are not supported by browse

This is true! I do rest my index finger on the edge, and I do sometimes get a false micro/jerky scroll movement!

That is very impressive! Up to a few years ago I was constantly hosing my TM drive and starting fresh. TM has supported multiple destinations for a good long while, so in the past I was always running two TM destinations. BTW, side note, wi

I keep it simple. I'm not confident with ZFS terminology, but here goes: I have one TimeMachine Pool: Then a single RAIDZ1 with 5x 4TB external USB3 drives connected via a powered TP-Link hub. I'm aware this is suboptimal on a cou

I used to find that. Lately, for the last few years, I haven't had that problem. Before TrueNAS I was using an M1 Mac Mini with a USB3 JBOD as TM destinations.

Yes, and it’s interesting that Prayer in Christian Churches is essentially a form of group meditation! These practices date back thousands of years, and likely came out of the understanding of the importance of meditation for a healthy soci

Indeed, as I’ve learned this is a western perspective! Old Alan Watts lectures cover this nicely, and can be listened to for free on YouTube and elsewhere.

April 2022 was the last maintenance release. Out of curiosity, why is it discouraged? I’m not really in the React world, but have been fixing up a Create React App for a client recently, so learned a bit more about it.

My advice is to use TimeMachine plus other backups. I use: 1. TimeMachine on a 20TB TrueNAS ZFS setup 2. BackBlaze 3. ...not a versioned backup, but iCloud Synching, which is a useful disaster recovery.
