I think it comes across as OCD because the author is logging everything they do. But the gist is basically “buy a 10 pack of cloths and wipe your glasses.” That’s what I do. And I shake the cloth beforehand to get sand from my pocket off of

Agree - they may seem like minor design decisions to the visionaries at Medium, but those things alone are why I perceive Medium to be user-hostile. And they’ve had this anti-functionality for many many years. It feels like they don’t want

I didn’t even know I was voting on anything during my first three clicks. “Choose a color” doesn’t equate to “vote on a color” in my mind. I thought I was “choosing a color” to see its rank (and I didn’t get why it was showing me two on the

No, we have entered monsoon season in SoCal. We get a couple monsoons like that in the summer months. La Nina results in little rain in this area. We want an El Nino, because it will help the drought. Triple La Nina is bad news.

I’ve used KDE and Arch for the last three years and it’s been great and pain-free. I got a new Thinkpad last week and used the archinstall installer, and was up and going in 15 minutes. Very smooth. KDE devs are regularly in the kde subredd

In yesterday’s California election (Los Angeles County, specifically), it had me review all of my choices on the screen (after I was done), then it printed out the form so I could review the printed copy. Then (very confusingly) the final s

I emailed support and Alan was super helpful. I think I'm all set (or at least close). For me, the key was discovering that while both my native and docker builds fail, my Dockerfile.render builds (which use the heroku buildpack) magic

I might be in the minority here, but I don’t have the slightest clue what my monthly bandwidth currently is on heroku, and so I can’t estimate what Fly will cost. Um, how do I find this out? Preferably historical usage.

by ryantgtg 4y ago
Thanks. Not too long ago I was like “we’ve been paying heroku $59/mo for years (open source, non-commercial, funded by patreon) and while I don’t have any issues I can’t tell if it’s kind of in maintenance mode or what.” So I checked t

I think the majority of people enjoy driving. Driving is fun. Sure, traffic sucks, but the actual act of driving comes with lots of pleasures. Most people don’t seem eager to give up driving, nor are many people ready to hand over control t
