anecdote++ I noticed exactly the same thing with a very similar set of orange glasses. Without them, I tend not to get that drowsy feeling in the night, at least before going to bed. I have to go to bed, and then wait to (hopefull

Yes, they are larger. I noticed with the first ones that when I lie in bed horizontally, and read a book on my iPad (positioned on my chest), the very bottom of the screen is visible under the bottom edge of the first pair of glasses. It&#x

I think the science around blue-light-blocking glasses is being seriously questioned (and in my own experience, detailed in my other comment, most of the models on the market don't have any discernible effect). But I believe the scie

I empirically tested these types of glasses over the past 18 months with my own n=1 study. There are a lot of confounding variables pretty much wrecking my shit (a regrettable period of "crunch time" at work, sometimes drank too m

Out of curiosity, why did you stop your meditation routine? Anyway, I agree with you — meditation appears to be able to make that kind of introspection automatic, which is a real boon. That's true in my own experience over the past 3 m

Whenever I see a mountain lately, I run to the top of it so I can sing the praises of my 31.5-inch Dell UP3218K 7680 x 4320 8K computer monitor. I'm a software engineer by trade, so I am looking at code all day long, plus lots of web s

Are you sure you aren't still signed up for iTunes Match? (I ask because I just happened to notice a $25 annual charge for that the other day... and I was like, oh yeah, I've been paying them all these years to host those 5 CDs I

I think the point is that you might like so many things, you cannot do all of them. And then, how do you prioritize them an allocate time? Some of us might go for 'whatever is the most fun', others 'whatever delivers the mo

I think this is kind of a no-brainer, if your project is already based on TypeScript. Not just for configuration, but for things like test fixture data, and even data assets like i18n translations, or basically anything that projects migh

It's not remotely the same — if you are circumcised, your dick still basically works fine. I mean, yeah, wtf, but it's a minor change. Like getting a tooth pulled, or an appendectomy, for no reason. You get (most values of) the &q

The i18n has apparently progressed (can't speak to it, though; we're still using ngx-translate, without which Angular life would have gone to Hard Mode) but the testing (and also debugging runtime errors) story is still the utter

It doesn't stop the spread, but it decreases it. How the fuck are we even having this conversation in the end of 2021?!

I recently switched from macOS to Pop OS, but I used Ubuntu as my Linux (in VMWare Fusion) for the previous 5 years. Pop OS is essentially Ubuntu with a few enhancements. It is not a very different experience. I like the zero-effort, zero-c

In the 90s (or maybe 00s) the company I worked for had a self-hosted web app (they mostly all were self-hosted, then) that did various things, but was also supposed to be able to send email via whatever mail server you already had. But it d

Hi Stefan, thank you for saving my photos that day! :) I still use Arq 7, and highly recommend it.

Yeah, I agree, and even would have done so in this case (despite the files not being that "important") but it wouldn't have arrived in time. While I wouldn't say my dad's "not smart" like the title of this

by veidr 5y ago
Yes, we almost certainly could have. But it would have been a process that stretched out over many days. So in the end we did give up — the files weren't worth the hassle. But the hassle was considerable.

I think Backblaze is only great if you are looking for something cheap . It is definitely that, and I am reluctant to complain about it when it backs up my 25TB home server Mac Mini for $60 per year. (Oh, it's $84 now. But whatever, s

I haven't actually looked at in depth for a few OS releases (I was excited to make a voice CLI I could use with my watch, since I commuted by bike). I think they may have made some prgress since then, but I don't think the Speech.

Interesting take. I am kinda excited about voice assistants and the command-line style use cases for them, too, except the closed nature of Siri and the dominance of Apple has probably set them back 10 or 20 years. Yes, if Siri was open and

Yes, I make site-specific browsers for web apps because then you can use all the OS affordances for managing apps and windows! You can hide all windows for only one web app with ⌘-H (like a normal app). You can flip between the windows of o
