Seveneves and the Dark Forest series are literally the last two (sets of) books I read and they are so wonderful. The last book in the Dark Forest series in particular has some of the most mind-blowing concepts I've encountered in SciF

That was it! There was nothing around the area other than cows and some shanty houses. It was really cool to stumble upon.

I don't believe so. I know there is one on the island of Molokai in Hawaii, which I always wanted to visit when I used to live in Honolulu, but otherwise its not a super tourist-friendly place to visit and I opted to visit other island

This reminds me of a discovery I made while vacationing in the Corn Islands, Nicaragua -- There was a giant cube buried in the middle of nowhere with one corner poking out of the earth. A plaque nearby said it was the 'soul of the worl

Yes, this is my only fault with Firefox. I'll open a tab and start typing, then (when I guess the tab is ready) the url bar resets and I've lost everything I've typed. This is super frustrating!

Joplin would be great if it just had some organization of todos approaching GTD (inbox, views based on due date). I really want an app that combines my notes and todos together but anything that does that (which i've tried) treats todo

In Toronto I think we'd love this idea for the same exact reasons. Our city was amalgamated from several different cities in the 90s and most people regret the decision because citizens/politicians from the more suburban areas hav

Basically this is a publishing platform for IPFS objects where you can configure document types and enforce posted objects to a schema. It has PGP encryption built-in to make it easy to encrypt and decrypt objects on IPFS. I started this by

The HP Envy is another great 4k monitor with USB-C and much cheaper the LG models. Getting it working with a macbook can be extremely frustrating but once you got it configured you can plug/unplug at will.

I'm just excited to see the full-width bluetooth keyboard with numpad. Unfortunately it doesn't look like you can order it on its own in spacegray color (call me vain but it looks fantastic!)

Off-topic question for you. What language do you recommend developers build IPFS-backed apps with? I started building an app in Go (which is your reference language) but Javascript seems to have a lot more APIs available for it.

I’m sure their PR department gave their approval, but I’ve never seen a total takeover of a site like this for a political message. I’m pretty impressed.

Hey I tried to export my OPML file from Pocketcasts but Echo doesn't show up in the 'share to' app list or in the More... list. Any tips?

I like the idea of an app with integrated notes and todos, and love that its open source, but this is really lacking in the todo department. No drag-and-drop reordering and no deadlines/grouping by date makes it pretty useless for any

If you like this article, the author (Gabrielle Hamilton) has a great book called Blood, Bones and Butter that I highly recommend (though it gets a bit dull at the end).

Lets say a method to store arbitrary content in a distributed fashion that is permanent and optionally private (encrypted, with the ability to share). I think all of them have this, but the encryption/sharing abilities vary (i.e. you m

I'll be the one to agree with you, but scummy isn't necessarily the right adjective -- Soulless would be better. I rarely have any reason to go south of Queen Street unless I'm going to Toronto Islands (which I love dearly).

At least it can serve to distribute the cost of living to multiple cities. Philly is incredibly cheap in comparison to NYC -- As mentioned in this article (and others) people are already commuting daily from their homes in Philly to their o

For those using Serverless, being able to upload just the code (not a full Cloudformation stack) is built in, and will save you tons of time. Also, do what you can to limit/optimize your npm modules (if you're using node) since it

I'm pretty sure VS Code's window management does not match up. For instance, VS code doesn't allow nested horizontal window panes inside vertical window panes, which is super useful for large displays.

This is incredibly useful for performance. If the user is requesting an image or other static asset, your reverse proxy can detect this and skip making a request to the actual application. Likewise if you want to go to some sort of cache b

If you want to learn the ins and outs of AWS i would recommend using the real thing. You can always create a new account when you have something in production and want to take advantage of free-tier pricing.
