Neat! Installed this for Claude Code and am adding Codex support to offer back, assuming it works out. Great tool idea and looking forward to seeing it in operation over the next f…

> So the bulge is sort of "in front" of the Moon and it pulls it forward speeding it up. The other bulge works in opposite direction, but it is more distant so the force is lower. …

I've been on Zoho for my (and my partner's) email for 4+ years and it has been great. Chose them because there is no per-domain charge, so I have like 12 domains on it. The configu…

It definitely affected hiring. I work at a startup that is self-funded, profitable, and at about 24 people. The tax change increased our tax bill by around $125k, so that's an engi…

Thank you for sharing that. It's a beautiful set of ideas. I read it aloud to my wife and we're talking about it now the implications for all knowledge levels. Fascinating thing to…

Indeed. At a former employer, when they announced removing free soda, I assumed they were about to stagnate very hard. Compared to the costs and profits of flying hundreds of sales…

This is incredible software. Thank you for linking to it. It has features I've long wished for in a laptop!

And in those more complex interactions there is not enough adjustment capability. I often want Alexa to speak faster or just shorter (reduce filler words and pauses). There's no wa…

In 8th grade I read a book on Zinc and it projected the world's supply would run out by ~1985. The book was published in like 1970 and I was reading it in 1994. Since then I've had…

There's an older short story "Thirteen to Centaurus" by JG Ballard with an interesting take on this.

I have a strong memory of using an IDE that behaved like this - using size and font to communicate structure - at a job around 2005. I can't currently remember the name but think i…

Thanks for explaining that. I feel like I heard about the "Tweel" in the 90s in Popular Mechanics, and occasionally since then.

Indeed. I installed half a dozen apps on my Ipad to figure out which one actually was the correct one.

Don't forget healthcare! Excel and CSV for tons of data exchange.

A new novel by Derek Kunsken called "House of Styx" explores in detail human habitation of Venus. In floating cities and airships and realistically dealing with pressures, temps, a…

Same in healthcare. I work in one of the EMR companies, usually onsite at clients, and the whole operation is appalling in wasted human time and just cash wasted on stupid things.

This argument against checklists would apply anywhere for checklists: healthcare, airplane pre-flights, auto mechanics. Checklists enforce a minimum set of thought processes. Sugge…

If you are talking about being overburdened by too much work, here's my thoughts: I prioritize. I get as much as I can done in my usual 40 hours, maybe 50. Anything left undone app…

Also a group chat site call Convore. It didn't last very long from what I remember but was pretty interesting. https://techcrunch.com/2011/02/09/convore-wants-to-be-the-ea...

That's how the Kansas City Airport (MCI) was designed. Before 9/11, you could park, go through security, and walk onto a plane in 15 minutes. Very minimal space is given to restaur…

http://amasci.com/ - Science Hobbyist, the homepage of Bill Beaty. I've been perusing it off and on for 15 years and keep discovering neat things. First found it via "Evil Genius H…

We use them extensively in our API client code to pass back immutable, well-defined data structures. Dictionaries and classes are mutable and then each layer of code tends to slopp…

Nativescript has been a godsend to me of turning working web apps into mobile apps.

It's always pleasant to find names for things. I haven't seen that term Cornell Notes before, but it's close to my method. I tend to use the full width of a page within a lab noteb…

Neat, I'm setting a reminder to check back. I'm not opposed to paying. I just have to calibrate it against other things I am used to paying for. Cheers
