It's weird that this is at least the third iteration of "bookmarks on the web" that I've used. My trajectory has basically been del.icio.us > delicious > pinboard > linkhut (still kicking the tires on the latter

Settings -> Import. Tried it as an experiment (I'm planning on staying with Pinboard, at least as long as it keeps working), but it keeps failing, at least when trying to import as HTML.

Yes, Shuron invented the classic "browline" frame and that's why Shuron Ronsirs are what Hollywood used for frames in "JFK" and "Malcolm X". Pretty sure they also invented the "cat's eye" st

Importing as HTML is failing at the moment, heads up.

So how do you export your bookmarks from pinboard?

It is worth the investment to learn advanced Git if you're a software engineer. Start by reading the Chacon book cover to cover. It is a major tool you use every work day, so it's important to understand it.

Oh, I know about this. I did rinse them thoroughly. Then I used a few drops of Dawn dish detergent to wash them. But what I found was that even if you clean plastic lenses thoroughly, what counts is how you dry them. If you use paper or eve

I also prefer glass lenses. The tradeoffs seem to be weight (glass weighs more) and durability (glass can be cleaned with cloth or a towel without scratching, plastic lenses need to be babied with a microcloth or else you get little swirly

It's true, Shurons are retro style frames. And some of them are...eccentric to say the least. But the zyl they use is pretty high quality compared to others. And the hinges...I haven't found a brand of frame with tougher hinges. M

Did he mean to link to his Obsidian config? It looks like there's supposed to be a link there but there isn't.

Check out Shuron. USA-made and not owned by Luxottica. Superior quality zyl frames and five-barrel hinges, unlike almost everything Luxottica sells. And they are full service and have top-notch customer service—they'll fill your prescr

Since Luxottica bought out RayBan, the quality has plummeted. I have a pair of original Wayfarer II's that I got years before the buyout. The plastic is noticeably higher quality, the lenses are polarized and Bausch & Lomb. And the

It's his style. It's also how he trolls idiots saying delusional/hateful/incorrect things about what he's doing.

Some of it is cost. And almost everyone knows a handyman or somebody in the neighbourhood who is an electrician, concrete guy, tile guy, &c. But part of it is cultural. It's considered a form of virtue signalling to have a bunch of

As far as I can tell from being an Appalachian Trail hiker, FarOut is pretty much the industry leader. Some people do use Gaia though.

You should consider changing the name to something that isn't single trail-specific.

I used to hang drywall when I was young and got pretty good at making a wall look completely smooth with no seams visible. But it's something that is so much more efficient to leave to the pros because they just do it so much faster th

Yes, here in SE Asia almost nobody who owns a home does the work, there's a very strong culture of hiring someone to do it.

Oops! Turns out Wachtell & Turner and the previous Twitter board hid evidence of fraudulent metrics. This could easily turn into legal popcorn time: https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1586885887341645824

Marriage is a roll of the dice, too. Parenthood is the second roll of the dice. So far it's worked out for me. But as I've gotten older, I've seen too many friends tick all the right boxes and do all the right things but they

If you think Musk didn't run it past legal first, you're delusional.

Apparently it's completely legal, though (IANAL). It's just like being a contractor on the side.

"Forced into buying it" is really not an accurate way to think about it. It makes it sound like he never wanted to buy Twitter, when in fact he did want to buy it for less money because he knew the valuation was too high (because

Yeah, I thought that same thing as well. Kind of surprising (though I'm not surprised Musk was able to acquire Twitter).

That is one of George Orwell's six principles of good writing in "Politics and the English Language", which ever writer should read.
