I am a part of one such group! It started as a WhatsApp group for all ex-employees, but has now morphed into a discord server. It's a great way to remain connected to friends you m…

There's an Obsidian plugin for Anki -- https://github.com/reuseman/flashcards-obsidian It connects with your Anki desktop app. You create notes in Obsidian in a specific format, an…

Yup -- https://apps.apple.com/in/app/ankimobile-flashcards/id373493... It's expensive, but it's the only paid app by the creator of ankiweb (web, android, and desktop versions made…

Your boy is precious! He's on his way to becoming a highly intelligent adult. I've seen a lot of people going like... why remember stuff when you can easily google it? But it doesn…

Interesting! Why would the airline incur additional cost of shipping your ski equipment to your house, when putting it out to the baggage claim is... free?

Their message in/out limits are not strict. They send a warning if you go over, and allow for some tolerance upto 25% above the plan limit. https://www.migadu.com/pricing/#what-aft…

Not the parent. It's likely a safety issue in the case of grid-connected solar installations. These panels are designed to send excess electricity to the grid, and if the grid is d…

But what is stopping them from offering both? You can have the SMS 2FA as the default option, but also offer TOTP for the technically minded.

I'm currently going through a science fiction phase and recently completed reading the Remembrance of Earth's Past trilogy [0] by Cixin Liu. It's a page-turning space opera thrille…

Connecting to people already working in the company really helps. Pitch yourself to them and they might agree to provide you with an internal referral: it's an excellent way to jum…

One thing you could do is to provide an area in your SaaS where your customers' customers could view all emails sent to them. Add a small "unread" counter too in a place they can't…

Hey I like your writing style! I've signed up to your mailchimp. Congratulations on the new blog and keep going :)

In preparation of Ind vs Pak World Cup semi-final in 2011, about 125 people had applied for a leave (me included!) in a 150-person company I used to work in. The management eventua…

Thank you for making this, it is really useful! I'm currently saving for a house and I will keep an eye on this to use when I actually buy it.

I do have a Nebula subscription, and Wendover is part of it. I like the fact that Nebula is partly owned by the creators themselves, and a significant part of Nebula's revenue goes…

It was indeed in jest! Wendover's videos have been consistently increasing in quality over the years. The amount of research that goes into each one is phenomenal. So much so that …

Wendover Productions (who else?!) recently released a video[1] on the future of electric planes. Quite a lot of information in there! [1]: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aH4b3sAs-…

Completely agree! Long ago I worked at a fintech startup that made a Master Data Management (MDM) solution for hedge funds. Usually people would log into the webapp, make changes t…

For desktop software, I really like the Jetbrains model. They reward loyalty by giving you a discount for continued usage. ($149 for first year, $119 for second, and $89 from third…

Even software engineers who are in a state of flow keep working :)
