Second that. I was tepid on WSL on initial release, but recently decided to try a full switch after hearing good things and I'm glad I did. You're literally using a full Linux dist…

I feel like super easy to host needs to be re-emphasized. We're talking about dropping a single binary into your server and you're off to the races. If only more things were so sim…

Nice, I've actually tried a trackball myself, but with the way I use my desk (sit/stand) it caused more problems than it solved (shoulder issues). Ergonomics is an art I suppose.

I love this new wave of tools coming out for mouseless computer use. Chronic mouse use has destroyed my wrist so I have to avoid using it as much as possible. I love Shortcat's app…

I haven't touched Python in years, and just recently came back to it. I was very pleasantly surprised to see just how much Microsoft has improved the tooling in VSCode with the rec…

I feel like by far the biggest impediment to my productivity is the knowledge that I have a meeting any time in the next two hours. Unfortunately, that's usually the case.

If you call requiring tens of thousands of dollars of maintenance medication treatment annually for life a solved problem, then absolutely!

Memory is fundamentally limited anyway. Unless you're going to set up an Anki deck for your Zoom meeting notes, it's unrealistic to try to remember action points from every Zoom ca…

I'm going to print this out and frame it.

Keto is absolutely the missing ingredient in most dieters' arsenal. I'm sure most IF'ers end up keto intermittently anyway, but you'd be more efficient at it if you develop the ful…

There is an incredible amount of confusion surrounding cholesterol, mostly because of the incredible amount of bad/old/incomplete science around which many major medical associatio…

I used to use the snip tool all the time, but I switched to LightShot since they started indicating it would be deprecated. Glad I did, lightshot is so nice.

I don't understand how so many people can anchor their lives to work. If you do that, when you retire, you've lost your meaning of life. I have a list of things a mile long that I …

It's important to understand the root of the arguments for and against both "not invented here" and "invented here". Both can be considered a poor mindset because it's thinking in …
