This looks great! I will definitely be trying it out. I haven't seen this asked or answered anywhere and am curious - how do you guys plan to make this profitable? Charging for more "advanced" features? Ads? I already have th

You don't perhaps have a nutrient deficiency? In my case it was an iron deficiency that crept up on me and made me lethargic for months before I got checked out by a GP. I think depending on your diet, low iron, protein, salt and/

See comments by the "autotldr" reddit bot[1] - IMO it is very good at generating summaries of articles. Also see this post[2] for some info on how it works. [1] https://www.reddit.com/user/autotldr [2] https

I think pfranz is on the right track - in one of the other publications they released today they show off how their tech does jaw positioning based on certain constraints (it seems to know where the jaw hinges and how the jaw bone interface

Good read, thanks for posting. I would have liked to see some references for some of the claims. I feel like the content in e.g. point 1 is true... but would like a citation to know where the author got these "less intuitive truths&quo

I've linked to the publication but be sure to check out the video they've embedded. Out of the handful of new publications they released today this one was the most interesting to me - I guess it's because this problem is in

None of my note taking is amazing but I'm quite happy with the state of it. Most of my personal notes end up in Google Keep as that has a bunch of nifty sharing/reminder/etc. features built in. At work I take all my notes in

I think Chrome's pw manager is pretty fine if you don't feel like you're missing anything. I'm on the free tier of Bitwarden and it's been perfect for me. I'm a cheapskate with subscriptions though.

Ah that's fair enough. I've actually been thinking about different ways of adding exactly that to a static site - technically you could have something like a comments form that just writes to a text file somewhere (perhaps updatin

Why not host it for free through Github Pages? They only host static sites so it's technically quite different to your blog... but if you are only going to be blogging it may as well be a static site IMO. Edit: I do like how neat it so

I've also seen this mentioned on Reddit and unfortunately it seems to be accurate (the site you link to looks a bit sketchy though). The music of hers that I like is great music and if she was influenced by other songs then that's

This is interesting! I recently read that new tech has also allowed PRK to become better and thus more popular again - I compared it to LASIK a while ago and would probably have leaned more towards PRK from what I read. This looks like the

This is the one tip that I often see and can actually understand/agree would work. I've just not been able to do it though. I think I've managed bursts of it when skimming something super quickly - which as OP mentions is not

Thanks for the link, that's great to know about AWS. I don't think all other VPS providers are that good about things - googling around for some other definitions of vCPU (in VPS context) I see a lot of examples of 16 thread serve

I think this means you were paying for the over-provisioning i.e. paying for a full CPU or baremetal server? "The Cloud" is all about vCPU - "2 vCPUs" feels somewhat standard for a base-tier VPS... and 2 vCPUs means &quo

What you could do is try sign on to pickup services, or if you have a team of friends perhaps sign onto leagues. I normally just solo queue ranked games in Dota and sportsmanship is... lacking, as you say. Sometimes, though, some people in

w.r.t. (4.) it sounds like you may be better off with an FPS 'sim' type game over arena shooters etc. These suggestions may not be your thing though but I thought I'd post them anyway: If you like your FPS games with a side o

Are you talking about The Witcher 1? That game had whack controls for sure, and all in all I'd say isn't worth playing. TW2 and TW3 are some of my favourite games though and IMO had fairly straightforward controls. I do think I sw
