I think the adoption of 3d secure will be better in preventing fraud than giving banks more access to my personal information. I suspect access to this information won't be limited to fraud detection but loans, mortgages, etc. What hap

I started off with a regular desk and instead of throwing out my old desk, I just bought a standing desk converter and I really like it. I alternate between sitting and standing throughout the day and it has helped significantly with my bac

The fairphone now looks like the next phone I'll purchase when I need to. I'm still surviving off a pixel 2. The battery is crap but I always keep a portable on me to account for that.

I love using chrome overrides to test if a front-end bug is fixed on production data! The feedback is immediate and I feel more confident with a PR. It works well for me since I'm not allowed to export the production data onto my machi

I would say it's less about listing one task, but focusing on doing the most important task at one point in time. I loved the book four thousand weeks, refreshing reminder that we have limited time and attention and prioritization is t

I think making schema changes via migrations would be explicit and should lead to it being predictable. Maybe the best of both worlds is the ORM spitting out what it thinks the migration file should be based on the database schema and the n

Yes I thought ActiveRecord's ORM addressed a lot of the pain the OP mentioned with traditional ORM's. ActiveRecord is also the first and only ORM I've used extensively and I've been a fan of it. Prior to that, I used to

Agreed. I have found myself sometimes asking Chat-GPT for guidance related to obscure error messages and occasionally its more useful than google or stack overflow.

This looks like my type of browser. I currently rely heavily on the vimium chrome extension. Does this support profiles by any chance? I currently use chrome profiles to separate work and personal Looking forward to giving it a spin

Just wanted to thank you for writing this. I recently had a child and I thought with discipline I would be able to maintain my pre-parent lifestyle but reality is quite distant from the ideal goal. I am making small improvements each week s

I'm a big fan of RSS but RSS limits you to what you already have subscribed to. I think mining user data has become the unfortunate norm but there trying to provide more relevant content here so that's understandable. I'm cur

I would say that this can help with discovery of content that you're interested in. Similar to hacker news, just an alternative approach. I'm interested to try it and have joined the wait-list. I'm looking forward to how it d

I hope this becomes true and sets a trend. This is not just an economic advantage but also an environmental advantage as well too as we have too many devices being thrown away into landfills. I hope this trend continues with software, if a

Most of the time I don't because I can understand the code. If I can't, then I usually pull it down and interact with it.

Remote works has it's pros and cons. I love being able to be with family, no commute, a fully stocked kitchen with things I prefer to eat and the ability to take a nap when needed. The con for me is that I feel lonely throughout the da

I got the same feeling as well. Open formats and avoiding proprietary lock-in is what the spirit of "write in plain text" is about.

That's good to hear! However there also seems to be a problem with battery drain when the laptop is sleeping which kinda defeats the purpose of a laptop for me. It would be great if that was supported out of the box as well.

I personally do. A "just works" configuration will be ideal for me. Anytime I install linux on a new computer, I find myself spending too much time tinkering with configuration settings to make basic things like adjusting keyboard

I agree that ASCII-art definitely is more cenetered around the original markdown spirit but I personally struggle making my ASCII-art diagrams in Vim. Looking at the mermaid, syntax it looks like I can whip up something equivalent really qu

I love taking notes but I never write about the process I use. Writing notes helps adds clarity to my thoughts. Without it, they move a zillion miles per second and when i try to recall something later it just is a blur.

Yes, everyone is unique and needs to find out what works for them. When my fiancee and I went to the beach this morning, she claimed she missed her swimming group class because she gets a better workout with them versus when she's by h

I think this happens with most self-help books. Most of the time it's just lecturing about a single point for a number of pages that can be summed up into a paragraph or even a sentence at times. Personally for me, the value of the lon

I feel like the examples that were given were quite narrow-minded. Utilitarians aren't narrow-minded robots, I think most people will include the bigger picture when making decisions, including ethics.

This article reminds me of a book I'm reading now, "Four thousand weeks: time management for mortals"[1]. One of the repeated themes is that every choice you make to do something, you are choosing not to do any number of thin

Loved the humor in this article, In a way I feel like that's how me and markdown are right now. I probably spend 25% of my computer time jotting down stuff in markdown documents.

100% agree that it was a well-done product, although I never went through the application process, I've read countless relevant job postings. I also don't do linked in (feels too much like social media) so I'm sad to see this

100% correct. It's definitely a skill that takes patience and awareness to develop (kinda ironic).

I think the most important advice in this article is "Be aware of your current mental state". This goes a long way with not just being productive but being aware of how to address any emotional state. The easiest way I've bee
