Ah, marketing and design. That's fair. I appreciate the link.

Let me preface by saying that I'm not a fan of the evolution of e-cigs since they ended up being more of an entry point than a transition out of nicotine. Probably half of my friends started by vaping and moved to cigarettes. That said

The most impactful for me was Your Money or Your Life by Vicki Robin and Joe Dominguez. Made me have a more direct association of time and money and made me focus on the fact free time is more valuable than money (to me) beyond a pretty min

Yeah it's actually one of the things I like most about Obsidian - your "vault" is literally just a directory. Everything is just a markdown file and it's just a normal directory structure and it's all exactly as you

Obsidian is all markdown. I assume OP was referring to no one keeping that data preserved post death.

Curious of if I missed some poor privacy practices from Apple lately. I know they had the default advanced image search stuff [0], but that's all I'm aware of. [0] https://support.apple.com/en-us/122033

Thank you for linking this - I need to save this locally because I reference this all the time. This is one of my favorite internet stories - it's just a great arc!

Good to see that they at least gave some instructions on moving the money (it was the absolute minimum, to be fair). No hate to them - some business don't work out. That said, I personally don't understand keeping my assets that I

My favorite use case for LLMs in long term software production (they're pretty great at one off stuff since I don't need to maintain) is as an advanced boiler plate generator. Stuff that can't just be abstracted to a function

I was about to link the same thing - excellent video. It was very insightful and a bit scary to see just how hard it was to get seemingly simple manufacturing done in the US now.

Discord also has a kind of culture I don't love connecting to for misc environments. I'm sure most are fine, but I've joined software related discords where people are having oddly NSFW chats. They've always been in diff

To share an anecdote on the more recent side of the spectrum, I bought a new 2025 Toyota Corolla LE two months ago. It's probably the cheapest vehicle Toyota makes. My cost before tax and title (not sure if that should be included or n

There is nothing I take more glee in than listening to bcantrill talk negatively of Oracle. Whenever Oracle comes up in one of his talks or a podcast, I know I'm in for a treat.

I use Obsidian for two reasons - I'm across OSs and I like it as plain files. That said, the Apple Notes UX (especially search) is absolutely incredible. If I was all Apple, I'd use it in a heart beat

This is great actually! It's short-circuit evaluation for me to not waste my time applying.

It also gets really down on itself, which is pretty funny (and a little scary). Aside from the number of people who've posted online about it wanting to uninstall itself after being filled with shame, I had it get confused on some Node

Agreed, it blows my mind that more people aren't willing to pay $5-15 ($15 in my case of running Wipr 2 and AdGuard) to clean the web on your phone. The same people in my life who wouldn't think twice about a $15 cocktail. Nothing

uBlock is fantastic at what it does. I'm looking forward to this. I'm currently using both Wipr 2 and AdGuard together which has worked well. AdGuard allows user defined cosmetic filters that I've come to rely on more and mor

Hopefully the "small internet" gets has a resurgence of goofy websites due to reduced development time. Boilerplate gets super annoying, but LLMs don't procrastinate the way I do.

I'd consider it the same, personally. It's a social contract that you can absolutely break if you want, just with a bit of work. Less work in Python than it is Java, but there are ways to get to them in Java, or hell, just modify

Very neat! Is the limit on Pro really only 7k tokens? So less than 7k words? I feel like I get more out of that. It feels like that would blow up pretty quickly with an ongoing chat, but I never hit that. Or is this a Claude Code specific l

I like a regular Bic because I never deal with bleed-through on the low quality paper I use. I just got a generic gel pen literally yesterday to give it a go and I immediately had to shelf it after I tried it due to the bleed.

I don't know enough about anything to intellectually comment on this kind of thing, but I do agree that the standard of living for the poorest is probably a good metric of a society. If the poorest people in a country get to live a hap
