This is different from the recommendation "channels" that each app can provide. You can choose whether or not each one shows up on the home screen, re-order them, and so on. This is a giant banner at the top of the home page that

current job? no. a job with a strong union? yes. a startup with a certain kind of work hard/play hard (really just lots of drinking) culture? definitely, there's plenty of stories like this (and worse) in the books.

I used to use the text-to-speech feature of pocket for this use case.

I don't think you need something that heavyweight to do this (although maybe for an entire headline). Amazon has had the "Statistically Improbable Phrases" feature for books for quite a while now.

Super excited to try this out since it maps strongly to my existing notetaking workflow (markdown, vscode, custom extensions, and so on). I hope the author (or a contributor) can come up with a clever way to input drafts via a mobile devic

Do you have any other app (or even linux/Windows/Mac software) recommendations? There's just so much crap out there..

Seconded and I'm glad I saw this before I got too deep into it. I'm wary to try even something totally open source because of course their is the adoption cost (do you move all of your old notes over? do you have a split brain?

Re: criticism 1, this is mostly true. However the fact that it's "not google" adds some privacy, or at least diffuses vulnerabilities. Regarding criticism 2, you have to opt-in. Otherwise brave is just a browser with adbloc

I agree. Some players at Northwestern tried a few years back and the NLRB ruled against them. See https://www.nytimes.com/2015/08/18/sports/ncaafootball/nlrb-...

First thing I thought of as well as I know one of the projects that Alexander wrote an entire book chronicling was the Eishin campus ( http://www.livingneighborhoods.org/ht-0/eishincampus.htm ). These architects don&#x

Am I the only one who would prefer to just use f.lux's "Darkroom" mode (red on black, basically) for coding at night / in the dark? Doesn't kill my night vision. Of course you have to switch all of your apps out o

The good news is you can turn off most of those and truecaller still works. I just checked and I only allow it access to Contacts, SMS and Phone which, given the purpose of the app, seems appropriate.

For me, the usage of spaced repetition ("a medium which makes memory a choice") built into the essay was more interesting than the content itself. Now we just need a standard for embedding these sorts of question and answer in do

That's true, but this is actually normal behavior in the instagram world since it doesn't have the concept of share/retweet. So you screenshot or use some app (ie regram) that re-posts someone's content and credits the

I run a tiddlywiki server (on my server) and sync the files between all my devices. That way I always have a copy of my data, but I always do my editing through the server. Previous to this setup I tried to sync to all my devices and edit

I was wondering when someone would mention diabetes. I feel like this policy will add a few more diabetics to the population. Now if they wanted to be really revolutionary they could ban sweets/sugar from their reimbursement policies

Yes, if you're interested you can look up hospitality law or innkeeper law. Airbnb and others attempt to replicate existing services while sidestepping the regulations in place, which of course makes them cheaper / faster because

This problem is easy to solve: give users the tools to do their own filtering. But services like to pretend that it's a hard problem because they don't want to actually cede that control to their users. The whole point of contro

Lack of knowledge doesn't neccesarily stop one from programming. There's nothing stopping you from calling yourself a programmer, or applying for programming jobs, and so on. Whereas to be a lawyer or a doctor you usually have t

I think calling it peer is misleading/imprecise, since in the context of the internet peer/peering refers to the interconnection of two networks, having your own AS, running BGP, etc.
