    You could try getting an EF nib and pair it with a fast drying ink ( https://mountainofink.com/blog/fast-dry-inks for examples)? Also, some manufacturers (for example Lamy) make sp…

    I initially thought about sharing this about stress and didn't, but then I read your post. That's how I learned I was stressed while working. I have a Garmin watch and everyday I g…

    I was thinking about this and wonder if a LLM trained exclusively on the language spec and API docs would be able to generate code in it?

    They should have used a screen for the front plate and have the IA generate a visual. But then they'd pass the $20 per plate. I don't like these kind of products, what I get in bre…

    I started to use PTA several times already, and I always have an issue with the granularity of transactions. For example when I go to the local supermarket, do I track food and hyg…

    It was more about everything since the Amiga being a regression. BeOS was sometimes called a successor (in spirit) to the Amiga : a fun, snappy, single-user OS. I regularly install…

    My windows are insulated. Is it more expensive than a screen/camera/electronics ?

    Why don't they make part of the door with that magical see-through material my windows are made of ?
