That's just like, your opinion, man. But, seriously, I've become so accustomed to the many shortcomings of macOS UX that using anything else would be like living in a house without loose doorknobs and sloping floors. Embrace the s

The colleague who forwarded this to me also sent the blog article from Internet Archive's Jason Scott about the project[1]. Can't wait for those "operations manuals" to show up in the IA! 1. https://blog.archi

Thanks to the OP for the memories. Worked and scrimped for the DX100 when I was in high school. That keyboard, my buddy's CZ-101, his brother's TR-505, plus copious hair mousse were the recipe for some of the best and worst Depech

Ironic coming from one of the media outlets responsible for destroying so many mountain towns by putting them on "must-visit" destination lists for the IG crowd. But those $200 camp chairs and $800 puffy jackets aren't going

If you really want to geek out on the music, the Super Marcato Brothers podcast has done episodes on MI2 - MI4.[1] (And fwiw, my brother plays marimba and other percussion in MI4. To this day, one of the weirdest gigs he's ever had.) 1

Slightly off-topic, but I'd definitely recommend Colson Whitehead's _The Intuitionist_[1] for anyone interested in the intersection of elevators and speculative mysteries. Never thought I'd get the chance to post this to an H

This has become enough of an issue here in the Seattle metro area that the King County prosecutor's office has a special taskforce, in conjunction with several neighboring jurisdictions. It happens in the city, the suburbs, and even at

Services like Authy address some of the loss of device issue, and always a good idea to have a backup token (e.g., yubikey) physically escrowed somewhere like a safe-deposit box. But it is a whole lot of extra work to set up and maintain lo

There's also a significant trend in frame design towards steeper seattube angles. This shifts the center of mass forward, especially when pointed uphill which helps keep the front wheel from wandering. Geometry matters. My 2020 35lb en
