Glass chips and breaks. "Tupperware" can take punishment for years. Decades even. Our household started replacing plastic containers with glass last year and we've already cracked 3 and smashed 1. The plastics, used for pet f

As someone using ghost self-hosted, I love the simplicity. So, if I'm reading the code right (never used ruby, don't code much), you're implementing the paywall by serving the gated content from your own servers? Is that righ

Doesn't reasoning like this fall under the ecological fallacy? You can't use statistics to predict the outcome for the individual. If I get a colonoscopy tomorrow there is not a 1/1000 chance I'll die of a perforated bow

Yep. That's the funnel we all hate. But it feeds a lot of mouths.

Maxing out the sliders on bunny.net's pricing page (1TB video uploads/ 1TB bandwidth per month) with 8 replication points tops out at $80/month. That's with free encoding and transcoding. So, very affordable right now if

That's a surprisingly low number. I'll have look at them.

Like I said in another comment, I'm only halfway through. I'm not sure what the denouement is going to be or where they are going to take the evidence that there have been urban civilisations that were not ruled by kings or other

Yoga Nidra for sure. Except it can be really effective at putting you to sleep. I now have trouble listening to any track on this album without passing out: https://open.spotify.com/album/00Dzgh60bmNigM9fvckKa3?si=sqO..

I'm about halfway through and it's fascinating. I love a "here is how the dominant paradigm is an over-simplification of reality" story and I also love pre-literary history so I'm finding a lot to enjoy.

I'm working on two projects this year. First is a routine/task management app designed for people with inattentive ADHD. The goal is develop automated strategies that catch and counter the tendency for such tools to spontaneously

Look into guanfacine for combatting anxiety especially around task initiation. And if you still have some Ritalin on hand try microdosing it. 10mg tablet dissolved in 1 litre = 10ug per ml. I see beneficial effects on 5-10ugrams.

Exactly this. About 7 years ago I bought a secondhand Alphasmart and started using it. I loved it for what it was but I had to stop using it because I could not see enough of what I had written. I’m now using a Pi with a monitor in portrai

In my experience perfectionism is one of the meta-stories we use to explain to ourselves why we have trouble executing. When starting things is hard, spending more time on what you are already doing is easier and feels productive. When star

“What they’re actually saying” was the authors point in that paragraph. How things are said is important. Why things are said in a certain way is important. Why frame being turned away a result of guest skin colour instead of host racism? T

You're right. Expressing my disagreement did not have to be so over the top. Or even expressed. Apologies for internet assholism.

I'm a parent of two young children and I thought this was atrocious when I read it in 2014. You're not raising buddies, you're raising independent adults. You're there to help them find their direction, not tie them to y

I've been using the iOS app since it came out and have never had a problem with it. TouchID integration has been a godsend.

Tears aren't excretory or cathartic? Maybe this guy hasn't been through the right kind of situation. When one of my kids was going through a health crisis I did a heck of a lot of lone crying. Each time internal stress and anxiety

No. Unless you have a bunch of stuff you need to pull out of a database try Hugo plus Bootstrap. I learned both in less time than it took me to give up wrestling with some damn fancy drag and drop theme engine with nightmare CSS. This artic

The simultaneity of awareness is not novel, but the acceptance of it, the refusal to change the future, is, and people are ignoring this authorial premise and tying themselves into knots to explain it as something else because it unsettles

Aleatoric processes are more interesting than the results, in my opinion. Too easy and too disconnected from the human to resonate (beyond the isolated snippets that get trotted out, like photos of parking meters that look like faces). And

This is just an advanced madlibs generator. As a copywriter who dabbles in creative writing I see nothing here that would help me. It's just too "dumb".
