These are all fairly obvious sadly. And as such are lacking in style, and grace is much harder with angry people who know what is up. These days when I say I need to check my calendar people are instantly disappointed, everyone knows it’s

The GBP USD rate went from 1.6245 on Jan 1 2013 to 1.25 today - which is a drop. Perhaps this is what is being focused on. But your comment is dead on - this doesn’t feel like a collapse it feels like currency fluctuations, at least from th

My car has this problem, only sometimes it takes a lot longer than two seconds. The car when started always turns on the radio at the last volume the radio was on at, regardless of whether it was on when the car was turned off. More than on

I disagree. Spam does not deserve a polite response, and responding to spam is, in fact, detrimental to the rest of the Internet and rude to the rest of us using it. So you are being rude when you do respond to spam - and including LinkedIn

It certainly does — and I expect anything in this space that gets successfully commercialized will likewise siphon all of your personal data into a large corporation. But then I am a pessimist about these matters.

I’ve not tried it but this Obsidian plugin does exactly this to your notes: https://github.com/exoascension/vault-chat/tree/main I think it’s just a matter of time to scale it to something larger.

This is probably a clear metric for our annoying friends who complain that they don’t get high enough quality sleep, but go to bed at 2 and have an alarm set for 7 every day. Sure you may have worked best on 5 hours sleep in college (thoug

I live in eastern Oregon on a property with no cell service. I use Siri a lot, mainly to add reminders, and sometimes I try to use Siri when I'm out at the greenhouse, which is just past the edge of the mesh network. I would love for t

If I could not speed up podcasts, I would not listen to them at all. As a matter fact, before I had access to a podcast player with this feature up I did not listen to them at all. There’s way too much fluff, even in a good technical podcas

I could not get into podcasts until I started listening at 1.5x. That changed everything for me, the information density was finally high enough that they were worth listening to, and over time I upped the speed to 2.5x (mostly). Also I’v

The example section at the bottom of the page makes it clear that this solves a problem that I did not know I had. I quite dislike copy and paste into the terminal, but the ergonomics of pbcopy and pbpaste of never really worked for me so I

What I’d really like to see on this page is more descriptive text. Mainly a description of what’s actually being done by the library. But also a section on when I should use idle-task over Partytown - https://partytown.builder.io

There’s 1000 places in this conversation to say this, but I thought here would work. I too had a kid late and do not regret the camping, but wanted to say the no-life is time limited^, or can be if you are lucky. My kid is now 9, and while

I live in very rural America, outside of cell coverage and the neighbors turn up all the time to talk. And these are good conversations. There has never been spam or sales or the like that has turned up at my door. Meanwhile the land line

I'm not sure. I love my house, but the lights are insane with a switch under every overhead light, and using smart switches to control them has been so very useful. Generally I control all the lights in a room with 1 smart switch so I

The example that resonates with me is when the functions have multiple parameters: const y = h(1, g(f("world", x, 3 ),true)) const y = x |> f("world", x, 3) |> g(%, true) |> h(1, %)

The mechanics of this will be interesting. Will Apple hide the current role of a merchant account internally, and push cleared payments into your Apple Cash balance? What will the fees be like? And so on.

I have a very hard time keeping track of when my favorite authors have released a new book, primarily as I do not trust Amazon/Goodreads. And no one else (electronic) can reliably notify me about this. Heck Kobo, Powell's etc, ca
