The definitive reference for all things sleep is “why we sleep” by Matthew Walker. It’s a fantastic read, highly recommended. It single handedly moved getting enough sleep from a similar category to “I should probably eat less salt” to “thi

That's right, and there was a brief controversy here when the Director General and the Prime Minister said that NZ had eliminated COVID and that was taken by most people to mean that it no longer existed here. They later had to backtra

I make a great living selling Cursive ( https://cursive-ide.com ). I use perpetual licensing with a year of updates, $99 for personal and $199 for commercial licences. Renewing for more updates initially costs half that and then g

I don't claim to be smarter than anyone, I'm just some guy. I just think the "no-one could have seen this coming" is obviously bogus when it was literally occurring at the time, just in different regions.

I'm a passive investor, I don't try to make money by playing the market. But yes, in mid-Feb I moved all my investments from growth funds into conservative ones, and avoided a major haircut.

Nobody knew how this would play out Yes they did, because most of the people we're talking about had real time examples going on while they were denying there was a problem. In Italy, they could have looked at what happened in China,

a company with long history To be fair, Sony are a company with a long history of absolutely amazing hardware crippled by comically bad software. The DPT series doesn't even show you the PDF table of contents, last I looked.

have autonomous cars really gotten so good that "what if violent criminals try to attack it" is the only criticism left? No, they haven't. This is (by far) not the only criticism, but it's a valid concern which has lit

There actually is a question in the survey, "What has been the biggest obstacle to using Clojure?", but it's not highlighted in the blog post.

You can, and Cursive is partially written in Clojure. I don't recommend it though, I'd definitely recommend using Kotlin.

I use Paddle, because they handle the intricacies of international VAT which is getting more and more complicated. I'd love to use Stripe, but I'd have to use something like Taxamo in combination with it. Since I was one of their

Yes, it is - I develop Cursive and I don't work for JetBrains. That said, even though Cursive is third party, the way that IntelliJ is designed means that language extensions all tend to work in consistent ways. Rather than totally rei

Yes, those were the ones I meant, although from that page it's not clear whether the fires were above the Arctic circle or not. I thought they were but may have misremembered.

Wow, it's worse than I thought, and of course still ongoing - that is crazy.

It's not just you. I sincerely believe in DDG's mission, but the sad truth is I just can't find what I want with it. Unfortunately there seems to be no good way to use Startpage with Safari either.

I mentioned that the projects are not directly comparable. My main point was that ongoing software development requires ongoing funding, and Kickstarter doesn't provide that. If this project does, then I think that Kickstarter is a poo

Thanks for the detailed reply. One suggestion I have is to use plainer language when describing what this actually is , especially on your landing page. Here in the comments, when describing the project you've repeatedly described it

Cursive was originally based on an old plugin for editing Clojure code developed by some JetBrains people in their spare time. It was effectively abandoned. I spent some time working on it and was going to take over maintenance of it when I
