Cool. The author chose to write a first person narrative on their personal blog. What you prefer doesn’t really matter, except in so far as you can choose not read the piece.

Congratulations on shipping! You accomplished something that vanishingly few people do. You should be incredibly proud of yourself. Always Remember: the people on this site complaining about price are not your customers, and that’s ok. Ther

Two reasons. First and foremost, $4.99 lifetime is it enough to support a customer forever. You have servers to maintain, a customer support team to pay, and also you have to put food on the table. I’m pretty against “lifetime” and “unlimi

1Password handles this just fine. You just have to hit the button twice.

I participate in a forum with paid subscriptions and heavy moderation. The politics threads still feel gamed occasionally.

None of those are weird or outrageous if all participants are enthusiastically consenting adults.

> they are giving you their money They create that money by crediting your checking account (their liability) and debiting your loan account (their asset).

Correct. In the US the required capital reserve is expressed in terms of daily net transaction amount. Wikipedia has a good breakdown[1], but for large banks the Fed requires 10% of NTA to be swept into the bank's Fed account overnight

What is “real money” in our current system?

That isn’t how fractional reserve lending works. An example will probably help. You walk into Friendly Neighborhood Bank and ask for a loan, and since they’re friendly they make the loan. Now, what does that mean? From your perspective you

Our HVAC system has a “circulate” option that we sometimes keep on. It turns the variable speed blower on the lowest setting a few times per hour and keeps air flowing well.

I stole it from someone else :) they actually use Alexa and have the kid say “Alexa set a timer for 5 minutes”. Works for a five year old, not so much for a two year old.

The nice thing about a timer is that it moves control away from you, even though you ultimately decide when to start the timer and how long it lasts. Seems like they’re less likely to argue with something that they initiated.

Yep. We have started having our toddler press the start button on a timer when we need to transition to something else, primarily bed time routine. She presses the start button, goes back to playing, and then when the timer goes off she pre

I have two kids, a toddler and a newborn. The toddler gets mad when we take her away from anything she’s doing, for whatever reason. We haven’t really given her interactive iPad games yet because the one time we tried she was completely uni

I’m not disputing that gamification is a problem, but kids have been getting angry at parents for taking their toys away since the dawn of time.

That version of Internet Explorer did not support SNI, which is used by basically everything these days.

It takes me five minutes to fry two eggs in the morning, including washing the pan. While the eggs are frying I drop some toast in the toaster.

Because making things cross platform takes away development and support time that could be spent making your product better for your most profitable customers.

Not surplus Jeep stock as much as surplus capacity for building more Jeeps. IIRC most of the USPS Jeeps were right hand drive.

PouchDB isn’t a client, it’s a whole implementation of CouchDB on top of IndexDB running in the browser or a Node server. It speaks the CouchDB sync protocol.

There were many other close calls, most having to do with the thermal system on the external tank, which is what damaged Columbia. It was a known issue for almost the entire program. As you said, nothing having to do with the control system

Kids shows are worse though. Netflix will sometimes helpfully restart the entire series when you finish it. Super Halloween Monsters all day long with no intervention needed woo.
