I get the author’s frustration - especially with slack’s search features. But I think it’s possible to use slack as a tool for transient conversation and notifications. We routinely copy/paste slack chats in other tools (asana, docs, c

We’re fairly happy with Asana - but it took us a couple of weeks to figure out how we wanted to use it and come up with our own conventions. I think it works well for mixed teams- jira was too technical for half of our team, and I was oppos

Your comment prompted me to look for it. Apparently you can by appending /feed/ before the author's name. so for steve, it would be https://medium.com/feed/@steve.yegge/ Source: https://h

I wasn't using their product (found the data wasn't that great), but I really like their daily newsletter - I hope it'll find a new home.

That would be great, if I could trust the school communications system. My experience in Paris public schools leads me to prefer other ways of communicating

I think you underestimate the practicality of it - it’s a big topic of conversation at our middle school currently. I think it’s going to cause more issues than solve problems to be honest

middle school was the right time for me, mostly because their social life became so active that it was overtaking my own phone most weekends just to coordinate their activities...

I think it's mostly posturing. Mobile phones were already banned in class, and this was well enforced. But many kids, especially in cities, take public transportation to get to middle school. My experience with middle school in Paris i

I like the idea of having full text search, though I wonder how it behaves on large libraries... Calibre is great for managing a library, but not so much at searching through a large amount of books....

Back in the days, I enjoyed reading "disciplined entrepreneurship". Here's a presentation by the author that gives you a general idea http://businessofsoftware.org/2015/07/bill-aulet-mit-lessons...

This looks really nice. Am I correct in that it'd work only with apple music currently? Would've loved to test it, but most of my stuff is in spotify...

I use cloudapp for this. I have colleagues using recordit too.

I think these kind of issues will become more and more important, both from a security standpoint, and from a privacy standpoint as well. GPDR might apply to api access from 3rd party tools (not just analytics btw) - it’ll be up to them to

The article includes some shot by shot comparison between the iphone 7 and 8 - I found those useful as a comparison point. For more reference, it's worth also checking his previous reviews for the iPhone 7 and iPhone6 - It gives a pret

Seconding Webrecorder (and the newly updated WAIL) - I had the chance of meeting Ilya Kremer at a conference a few weeks ago, and I can confirm what he's doing is top notch - I'm hoping to see more work around WARC viewing and sha

Can one automate extensions through headless chrome ? then you might be able to trigger WarCreate instead (It will be more efficient to run the pocket export urls through WAIL though - this should give you the warcs you want)

we use appear.in daily - it works well up to 5 people. It also has an interesting feature to allow you to "mute" certain participants, which works well in our use case where some participants can be in the same physical room. On &

I read this week about a proposal for the whole U.K. to join Canada after Brexit - it would be like a reverse takeover by a former colony - they'd keep the queen since it's technically the ruler of Canada too... That would be a fu

Same here. I find law intellectually fascinating, and my limited working around jurists and lawyers showed me there's a significant proximity with debugging and testing.

We've been using Asana for a year now, and once you get the hang of it, it's really super efficient. But I wish Boards where a visualisation on a list rather of a new object, where we now have to decide for each project wether to

This looks good. It's a great way to keep a memory of long running WhatsApp chats. Even without printing, this makes for a neat memento.

Looks great, but I find it a bit weird that there's no Whatsapp announcement - I also wonder if it'll slow down the ability to have the same whatsapp account on multiple devices.

The wikipedia article links to it, but I'd recommend "The Half Life of Facts", which introduced me to this concept - it's an entertaining and insightful read.

My experience is pretty similar. Asana is fine, and I find other tools generally less effective. The ui is convoluted though, especially since they introduced conversation. The way documents are integrated isn't great either - I wish t
