Running TrueNAS on an ex-lease Dell Micro 7060 with a bunch of USB 4TB drives, is currently the best Time Machine destination I've ever used; fast, reliable, always available.

Unpopular opinion, but I like the Magic Mouse and Magic Keyboard! I try other Mouses but always return to the Apple products. Trying to get other Mouses to have the same acceleration and tracking as you he Magic Mouse eludes me! The thing w

I was reading the article, and it talked about if the bodies could be located and recovered. Which made me wonder: What actually happens in an implosion like this? Does the whole sub squash down, like stomping on a tin can? (Apologies for t

I agree. I don’t think understanding the speed of light is something that can be considered intuitive by most people. There is no generally observable way to understand the speed of light, it’s just instant to most people. So without physic

I used do it, but with Ritalin! (Prescription for ADHD) Smiling Mind app, sit in my car, nice and relaxed and quiet. It made my corporate afternoons tolerable and productive, and avoided the post lunch time lull!

The Australian Smiling Mind app is excellent for this! I’d sit in my car at lunch time and do a body scan. It helped when in corporate land.

This would be somewhat like meditation, from how you describe it :-) I’d often sit in my car at lunchtimes and do a guided meditation. It did help during my corporate days.

They also made it harder and harder for creators to earn revenue from Ads. This keeping more profit for themselves. Which is a shame for society, as there was a real movement of people being inspired to make content because they could immed

I don’t have it yet, but as a Search User I think I’d be OK with it? Then as a business or blog that wants to get indexed, I feel like the friction no longer being a >= page 2 result is going to surface more content and get more clicks.

I do something similar. I switched my outlook on life a while back. I take somewhat Buddhist Lite approach to life and consider possessions as misery and so on. I extend that to online conversations. I just delete them and clear my history.

Not necessary, but you might like the jQuery API. I still use it as it’s a decent way to write succinct code to access the DOM. Makes me laugh that the same devs that claim you should use vanillaJS and that jQuery is bad are the same ones b

Apple invested well in Safari early on. They used to be very proud of their JS performance and so on. But then in recent years they seemed to coasting. Hopefully now they are back on to it, maybe the threat of being forced to allow alternat

I'm not sure I agree with that, as it's hard to ignore Facebook. Facebook is astoundingly profitable, and is the canonical example of network effects. Almost everyone I've ever known is or was on Facebook. So I don't con

As a Rails dev that is having to work with Django lately, I'll give it a read. The Django fat models and (lack of) code structure in the Django project I'm working on fixing is painful for me!

I want the technology to prevent others from driving dangerously. And myself, by extension. We all have human moments. Running red lights, mounting pavements to cut corners, brake-checking, dangerous overtaking, inadequate stopping distance
