Not paid to donate blood, as far as I know, but plasma. I did this a handful of times in college for extra cash.

I received an email inquiring about my note-taking system, so I'll copy-paste my response here: Nothing revolutionary about my system. The short answer is that I use Notion, because it checks a lot of boxes right out of the gate: it&#

My problem is I get stuck at the very last step: publishing. I take copious, detailed, organized notes for everything I do (house renovations, DIY projects, programming projects) with a robust system that I've fine tuned over the years

Without any additional context (which may be critical to understanding fully!) this sounds like an unreasonable expectation on your part. Imagine the sheer number of contributors to a large open source project (that number is nearly 2000 f

I maintain a Notion database with calendar view. Each day, I create a new note/entry for the given day using a "standup" template, which simply prompts for: what I worked on yesterday, what I'll work on today, and then

Mind blowing. Really well done!

There's an option to include contribution activity from private repos. See the "Contribution settings" dropdown on your profile page.

I’ll add a slightly different take: include your kids in everything, starting as early as possible. Hobbies, errands, everything. It will be challenging, it is undeniably more work, but it becomes easier over time and will pay dividends eve

Immediately. Among countless other benefits, a consistent routine is a strong contributor in getting an infant to sleep through the night.

Absolutely. Focusing on lots of different tasks is the antithesis of focus. Focus is identifying and executing against one singular goal.

I’ve been there, it’s miserable, but I hadn’t framed it exactly in these terms. This is well articulated and certain something many of us can relate to. Thanks for writing this.

I distinctly remember being blown away by typing on an iPod touch when it first launched: it seemed almost impossible to make a mistake. The keys plus whatever other software (predictive text?) worked incredibly well. Now I’m on an SE2 and

Okay, this was a good one!

I’m intrigued. Can you share any data points here?

What an unnecessarily negative response. Maybe some people have tools in a vehicle toolbox that benefit from this type of system to minimize movement. Maybe people just like to keep things organized.

I think the idea here is that it happens unintentionally, unknowingly.

Well, I can't say that I've ever witnessed this maneuver. Got my popcorn.

Excellent. I just cracked the screen on my 2020 iPhone SE. After suffering through many Amazon low quality replacement screens for my previous iPhone 6, I look forward to readily available, authentic Apple parts. I only hope that the 202

What? $6k? How much damage did the thieves do?

Thank you for sharing. Beautifully said.

This is a fantastic idea. All the benefits of Amazon (fullfilment, prime shipping) but with a better user experience. Now that I think of it.. they do experiment with things like this. For example, near the top of my Amazon homepage rig

Thanks for sharing. That article is disorienting! How'd you find it?

by guynamedloren 5y ago
It’s pretentious by almost overtly missing the message of this article, which is: you don’t have to be the best home chef, your food doesn’t have to be the best. Part of that is that “best” is subjective, especially when it comes to food an

No idea why this is getting downvoted. Perpetuating biases is a very real issue.

Thought provoking, but the cynical side of me says that this is easily gameable.

Such a pretentious comment.

This was confusing to me as well. I have a CNC router, and I, along with most readers, would probably equate these things. For all intents and purposes, CNC === CNC router, or at the very least expensive, uncommon equipment in a home shop.
