Haruki Murakami's What I talk about when I talk about running was a nice listen. For bonus points, listen while running obviously.

Thank you for this. Love the simple design. I hope this DB keeps growing! One note: Sorting on Ram Size column seems to be string sorting (e.g. descending order gives 96, 8,...,7.3…

Knew what car I was interested in. - narrowed down the search to three different brands/models and wrote a scrapper for a local used cars website. Then this scrapper built up a DB …

Now got 4x in a row: stranger lost video.

Would've loved to have tried it, but sadly am stuck at "connecting to stranger". I guess the problem could be that I'm in Europe, so if all 3-9 strangers (that's the range of peopl…

This lovely presentation of how GPS works: https://ciechanow.ski/gps/ Same website has several other, equally cool, blog posts.

Not the reply you're looking for, but it's a topic I'm interested in. My current situation is that I'm employed in a startup that might be killed by the end of the year, if the nex…

As someone who will attend their fathers funeral tomorrow this really resonates. I do feel I didn't know him enough and that this feeling might haunt me in some moments later in li…

Happy to see that community here mainly considers Hobbes to be "a villain". I'd like to point to the very enjoyable book by Rutger Bregman - Humankind[0]. In it, the writer discuss…

Hey, nice idea, I downloaded the app yesterday and run into some problems. 1) When leaving the office I have around 3.5 km to walk to my home, so I wanted to log it. The app (Andro…
