Yeah, it also feels grimey and risky, like buying crappy drugs in an alley.

This is hilarious. This company is literally at the apex of the crypto industry and this is the kind of mistake they make. Yeah, immutable smart contracts written by their fellow proponents will also save the world lol

It's really clear to me that short feedback loops and visual output are what make programming accessible. In middle school I was in the most advanced computer class offered. It involved lots and lots of typing practice and basically ju

Damn, that is actually pretty trippy to imagine. I can engage in transactions with basically anyone on the planet... That was part of what used to excite me about crypto.

Your comment helps me. I think I'm getting closer to the mechanism of what causes me to procrastinate. When many tasks are due, all important but of tiny ROI, like washing dishes and vacuuming, I feel overwhelmed because my mind can&#x

You said you participated in that years ago. In my recent past I accumulated hundreds of hours of meditation. Do you see any lasting benefits from your experiences? I personally still struggle with focus and attentiveness, especially when t

I tried to force this at a company I was at. I was like a robot, automating as much as possible, anything and everything I touched. Spreadsheets, data loading, surveys, analytics, daily reports. I even built a chrome extension to improve a

An adjacent concern: Ads bad, yeah, but I appreciate the growing trend of subtitling them. I'm surprised there isn't some existing regulation on that, in the same way that streaming services are required to include them. The lower

Jesus. There's no words. My heart breaks. Thank you for giving us your thoughts. I hope to live up to the standard you set with the clearly towering love you shared with your wife. I'm dumb, young, unwise so I'll dare to pres

Sometimes I wish I could leave the yaks alone. Most of the time I love it lol

Yes for sure. I hope I did not diminish those experiences. It is really awesome to be in love. I understand its sway. I appreciate how we almost reflexively communicate about those emotions in bits of poetry. They splay out in so many direc

I love my wife a lot. She's like my shadow, evidence that the sun is in the sky. If she got really sick I would stay with her and care for her. A huge chunk of that is because I'm attached to her, the little human pattern that the

I haven't used this app. I had to make my own similar tool. Anyways, timeblocking changed my life. It was a slog at first. I started off by logging what I actually did. "Sit on couch - 12:15 - 4:30" "Walk dog - 4:30 - 4:

I didn't have health insurance for a long time. I had it growing up through my parents, but there's always this weird sense of "fix yourself, don't waste resources". It may have been a holdout from the scarcity of s

I think we should normalize expressions of awe and curiosity about other people. It's hard to do without sounding ridiculous. A model that helps me is, "I like the state that that person's brain is in. I'll let them know

I'm totally on the crypto hate train, but it's funny that this website is focused on criticizing "the next web". I sat for two minutes watching the little loading ellipsis animation. Then I pressed the non-intuitive flat

Here's a more robust implementation that checks the actual responses from each mirror, instead of just whether it is a "preferred" mirror according to Wikidata. https://observablehq.com/@iz/sci-hub

Ok, I'm not just here to bitch. Here's the code for my implementation of Sci-Hub mirror checking: https://observablehq.com/@iz/sci-hub I made an iOS Shortcut based on the same code. To use it after installing

My god, why did you mention wikidata? SPARQL is the most obscure fucking thing I've ever encountered. I've been sitting here for an hour trying to find how to get the data of a specific page! I guess the rest API will do, ugh. Rel

Oh that's an awesome idea! I'm fluent in Spanish so this technique will probably make my Spanish and English brains way smarter.

This simple fact dismantles a pillar of crypto evangelism. No, you, can't exist outside of society and its influence, even if your "money" is digital.

There's a tweet thread on someone's journey with this that you might dig. Your comment reminded me of it: "REALITY DISTORTION FIELDS & the HUMILITY OF ACCEPTING YOU'RE BEING INFLUENCED" https://twitte

I love that you synthesized that comment on the fly then actually took the time write and share it. In the back of my mind I have a maybe-never project brewing that would entail finding Wikipedia pages that only exist in one language. Engli

My mind went immediately in a satirical direction. I often ignore that actually being there, in the physical space where something that intense happened could be psychologically difficult to handle. The internet gives us enough distance to

Haha I get that. I love MacKaye and Rollins. As I was growing up I found that "straight edge" and "hardcore Christian" overlapped too much for my comfort. I chalked it up to kids trying to exude a rebellious attitude wit

One of the most impactful signals we can give to others is writing information and promises that arise between us. "What are you doing?" "I'm writing down that I promised you that book so I can get it for you for your bi
