The data from the International Dark-Sky Association[0] would be a good complement to this. In case you're interested what a dark sky town ordinance looks like for a small town that has the designation near where I live, see here[1]. [

I was searching this thread for a reference to FIRE, I see interesting parallels too. You can take a serial (work your butt off now, enjoy life later) or parallel (OP's wish) approach to work/life, but it also does not need to be

Flickr has had this from the beginning. I always appreciated their simple approach to it, similar to what you are suggesting: Private, Family, Friends, Family & Friends, Everyone. There's no guesswork, no 'Friends of Friends&#

The Windy / Mapy apps recommended elsewhere in this thread don't seem to be doing that great of a job on attribution either. A recent draft[0] of OSM attribution guidelines states "attribution after one interaction" as s

Flickr changed hands a couple times, almost went under and is still struggling to stay afloat. So you're right to be paranoid. I have been a paying Flickr Pro user since the beginning of time, but I don't feel that my photos are a

That's what I like about a desktop PC as well. It gives computer-based activities a designated physical place, and therefore the time I spend at the computer is more deliberate.

I take this a step further and don't say anything for the first few seconds if I pick up a call from a number I don't recognize. I used to not pick up those calls at all, but now that spam callers are using local area code caller

Where I live, revenue from fares makes up ~11% of the total. (The largest chunk of revenue is from local sales tax.) Making transit cheaper would be relatively painless and highly effective: we have a 'free fare day' every year wh

Oh man. I spent so many hours playing Maelstrom on my LC 475.. Through your wiki link I discovered that Ambrosia open sourced the game - there are even OSX binaries. https://www.libsdl.org/projects/Maelstrom/binary

Thanks for sharing, impressive what you've built already. Some of my bills, such as my mortgage, show up twice a month. Do you plan to support recurring transactions that are something else than monthly or yearly? I may have missed it

Oh wow, I didn't know that the composer of that intro (Richard Joseph) also composed the in-game music for Chaos Engine, and the title music for Sensible Soccer and Speedball 2, all of which are in my top 5 favorite Amiga games. https

The single reason why I prefer Dropbox over the other file storage / sync products is that their sync client works so much better on Mac. It eats fewer resources, is quicker to start and sync once started, doesn't need to 're

That reminds me of the early days of Flickr, which was very visibly in beta for years (it was on the logo). That gave me an appropriate level of anxiety about the longevity of the service. (Well, that and the fact that all the page urls sti
