I've always wondered how pharmacists can read those prescriptions. There must be some kind of course in university that they followed.

It's actually worse than the title suggests. It's $5 per month! I wonder what justifies this recurring cost.

Maybe they didn't read the article and thought it was about someone failing to play a game till the end.

I haven't worked in an office in over three years. I sometimes think I miss it but now I no longer don't.

Very cool that these are all iterations on the same idea by the same person, over a span of a year and a half. The one that had one byte more than today's version was 36 days ago. I really admire their persistence.

First thought: this is just silly. Then 5 minutes later: let me just get the ASMR slime video for 4000 stimulations before closing this. Now 10 minutes in I added the Listen to a Murder True Crime podcast for 10,000 stimulations, upgraded m

This is very true. I had tried learning C multiple times but pointers were always kind of hard. I kind of understood them but not really. I later spent a lot of time making an OS in assembly for my homebrew 6502 computer, and after that poi

This is awesome. Now I's starting to hope a similar thing is possible to manage Screen Time.

> insane productivity He's insanely productive, but also insanely smart. I used to work in the same office as him at Shopify, and he's the kind of person whose level just seems unattainable.

I just spent a wonderful hour reading the whole thing and playing with all the demonstrations. Thanks for sharing.

As I started reading this, I nodded in agreement and was going to suggest picking up a used Pixel 4a (my phone) until I read the rest of your comment :-) I also agree that it's already a little big. I remember the memes when the iPhone

This is awesome, great work! Is there anywhere I can follow development on this? I'm really interested in seeing this evolve.

This same feeling has now gone so far for me that I often won't even start projects anymore that I would have started a couple of years ago, because I feel paralyzed by the knowledge that I won't finish them anyway. When I do mana

Not sure if this counts but my original Canon 5D is still my favorite camera. It came out in 2005 which is almost 20 years ago. I've tried many other cameras but always come back to my 5D. I don't think it's nostalgia though,

This is the exact reason I'm using Spotify instead of the Sonos app to control my Sonos speakers.

Precisely the kind of article I love to read. And timely too. I'm just about to fire up an old laptop with MS-DOS and Borland C++ so this will be fun to read alongside that.

Oh yeah I forgot about pihole! Now I feel like setting one up again. Thanks for the suggestion, I think I'll actually do it .

I wonder if this will translate to an increased productivity across multiple industries. I've personally struggled trying not to spend too much time on Reddit.

I've often heard the cold climate given as the reason for the terrible roads in Quebec, but you clearly notice the roads getting better as you cross the border out of Quebec into Ontario for example.

I miss the old web so much. It really was a magical place. It's so nice to see a search engine that doesn't interpret all my searches as if I want to buy something, or I'm looking for AI generated "best xyz in 2024"

I'm still very happy with my 8GB Air M1 as well. It's incredible how well it still works for a 4 year old entry level laptop. I see all these new M's come out, and I'm sure they're fantastic, but I'm not at all

I get the opposite feeling. That's the cool thing about hobbies: they can be totally pointless and that's ok, as long as you enjoy them. I spend time communicating with nerds using old radios and Morse code. I can't think of

Very cool to see there's still love for this era of computing. I still have a 486 set up, with Windows 3.11. I sometimes play minesweeper on it, or play around with Borland C++.

Tangent, but I miss that iPhone era. I remember holding an iPhone for the first time. Someone showed me a map app (maybe Google Maps) and it took me a second to realize I was looking at a map of where I was, and remember thinking "how

Yeah by sound is the best way and at a speed where it's easier to remember the rhythm than count the dots and dashes. I'm learning Morse code at the same time and that's how I'm learning it as well.

If I understand your code correctly, you've hardcoded the speed of your keying ("-" if duration > 150 else "."), which is probably the only realistic way to do it without getting into some really involved decodin
