I had an extra Linode instance (Nanode 1GB: 1 CPU, 25GB Storage, 1GB RAM) laying around that I'd previously tried to manually set up a mailserver on. So I just reset it to the OS/version Mailinabox specifies, ran the install scrip

Emails were deleted August 23rd, across a wide variety of folders, all at the same millisecond (when I later pointed this out and how difficult it would be for me to do this accidentally, they did not comment). Noticed on October 4th. I&#x2

I used Fastmail until they randomly deleted a large chunk of my emails and the support followup was abysmal (one email a day around 4am EST) with no ability to recover, explanation or apology on their part. It was the push I needed to set u

I've used my laser cutter to cut a mask for acid etching when the laser itself couldn't etch the material needed. How thick is the rubber you use for sandblasting? Could it be laser cut to reduce the pain of making the mask? It so

I can see it being occasionally difficult but I touch type anyway and keep a mental model of what I'm writing. The tradeoff would be worth it for me.

I really hope e-ink laptops become a thing. I want a text-focused computer with crazy good battery life and a full keyboard.

It's not beneficial, it's just how it is. I worked a job in Japan where one employee was late delivering a project, so his manager spent literally his entire day standing over his shoulder and berating him loudly for not getting i

I'm not interested in paying for the online video course - does this article http://highexistence.com/the-wim-hof-method-revealed-how-to-... capture the gist of it? Does the book include anything else that's signi

Personally I think the deeper reason they don't kick Breitbart off is because they can't be seen to be vulnerable to pressure from activist campaigns. If they kick off Breitbart, it sets a precedent for the next time an internet s

You have a really weird idea of what an 11 year old is capable of.

Good points. Though I think the inflation from foreign rental/investment property ownership is semi-temporary - you can bet Montreal is going to pass similar laws soon just as Vancouver and then Toronto did.

You're right about compensation, but cost of living in our major cities is nothing like NYC. I live in the capital and pay under $1000 for two bedrooms very close to downtown. You can get a swanky condo penthouse here for less than a o

There's never going to be one factor that gets you out. It's a combination of tools working together that makes it livable. For me it's meds, exercise and social contact. Meds might help your present chemical situation but th

I think the fact that he was on his own on the street at age 9 or thereabouts and had to find work to survive would probably play a big part. Even if he hated it to start, by the time he had the freedom of making the choice to do something

The full list was never mentioned in the show, but I believe one of the writers (Ira Behr?) subsequently published a full list as a separate book. So probably not official canon but about as close as it gets.

I just got a Surface and it's unsettling how nice it feels and works. Like it shouldn't be a MS product.

Judging by the "millennials" (I guess I am one as well) I interact with, at work and through friends, they don't really know how to use computers. I regularly encounter people who finger-peck type very slowly and don't k

They'd also have to somehow remove all the old how-to content from the internet and somehow find a way to stop scabs. Any up and coming developer anywhere in the world could find the basic specs and references needed to become a "

I prepare files for my laser cutter, I used to use Illustrator but the subscription fees were just ridiculous. When Affinity Designer came out I bought it and started using that instead. It definitely doesn't have feature parity with I

I went into programming because I saw how well paid a profession it would be. I could have done art or linguistics or something else. I enjoy it too, but I don't expect to be paid well for making videogames so I also do work I enjoy le

They also get paid really well because Hollywood makes a lot of money and the national labour board ruled that most of the production companies in Hollywood HAVE to use that guild. It's not clear to me who this technical writers union

Amazing, thank you! How have I not heard of this?

Yes, though I opted not to get one because of the form factor and all the sacrifices they made in service of their goal (which was great but not for me).

Because for some reason you keep paying the subscription, buying the games and playing them?

It depends hugely on where they end up landing on home growing. Right now they're considering 4 plants per residence for personal use. If people can grow their own the retail proposition is very different.

In Ontario the profiteering is not by the province for the Beer Store. That's a monopoly owned by the beer companies themselves. So it's not a de facto tax.

Socialising doesn't have to mean conversation. I almost never see movies in theatres but when I do I love going with friends, just for the little moments, hearing each other laugh or react at particular parts, when we turn to each othe

I started caring a lot more when I started selling things. It's a substantial amount of money that I'm not getting because people don't want to take out cash. But I have to accept it because I'd make even less money if I
