This is ridiculously preachy. I do think the overall thesis is correct, in that boredom can be a powerful force for creativity and inspiration, but paragraphs like this make the ar…

I love this. When I use Google assistant to start a timer, it always says "Sure, 5 minutes. And we're starting now." This takes about 5 seconds, and the timer doesn't start until i…

I got 5/6 with a Schiit Magni/Modi stack and Beyerdynamic DT 770s. On the flip side of the coin, my wife regularly listens to music just out of her phone speaker and claims to not …

It took me a solid 6 months from "never worked out a day in my life" to "can do a pullup". I started just hanging from the bar, then moved to using a stool to get above the bar and…

How did you find a good PT? How does it work with insurance? I want to also establish a regular PT routine but I'm unsure how to start.

Why does it matter that the server was Indian?

To be far to GMTK, he has an entire video about whether Dark Souls should have an "easy" mode that discusses this exact point in great detail, and overall he makes the same concess…

timeouts/intervals are slowed down when in inactive tabs https://gomakethings.com/the-delay-on-settimeout-and-setinte...

This is amazingly well done. Although simple, it's actually enjoyable to listen to.

They've only been doing one or even no Yahoo questions per episode for a while now. I almost suspect this will relieve them and give then an "out" to pivot to different formats.

This is my issue too. Earplugs don't help for idling trucks, or subwoofers. Nothing I've found does.

A neighbor used to come home from work late at night and lock their doors three or four times, and every time it would wake me up. I wish there was a silent door lock and it would …

I would be ecstatic if my city banned leaf blowers.

I have been using my DT-770s every single day for hours and hours for about 5 years now and they are still in perfect condition. I expect them to last an extremely long time. Meanw…

How do you remember the new words you look up when reading books? Making an Anki card for each will make sure those words are permanently etched into your memory.

Both! I make a card with English on the front and Korean on the back, and I include a sample sentence in a custom field with the target word highlighted. I always read the sentence…

I've done my daily reviews now for over 1000 days without missing one. It's really just up to you to make time for it if it's something you want to do.

I've been using Anki for about 3 years to learn Korean and it's been tremendously successful. In that time I've learned around 3000 new words (both English -> Korean and Korean -> …

I can't recommend Audible Genius's Building Blocks course enough. It teaches many fundamental music composition techniques and ear training using a piano roll layout (like the one …

Adventure games are still not dead! Amanita Designs is making some of the finest games around - in particular, their masterpiece Machinarium. Anyone who even has a passing interest…

I set up an old iPad as a picture frame that shuffles through all my photos. It's been wonderful reliving memories and vacations! I did have to buy a third party app to do the shuf…

Yes, please! This would be a really neat tool. There are already some Ableton devices that are similar. Makes me want to investigate how to build a device.

This is a totally different way of visualizing a track - no GAN here, all done by hand, but also very cool: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LvEGgMbTW1s

If Typescript is adding 20% to your workload, I suggest spending a little more time getting used to it. When I first started writing TS, I agree it felt a bit cumbersome and it too…

Very cool! I've loved Apple Music ever since I was able to upload my library using Match, and I feel like its recommendations are getting better and better. Nice to have this in a …
