I had an extra Linode instance (Nanode 1GB: 1 CPU, 25GB Storage, 1GB RAM) laying around that I'd previously tried to manually set up a mailserver on. So I just reset it to the OS/v…

Emails were deleted August 23rd, across a wide variety of folders, all at the same millisecond (when I later pointed this out and how difficult it would be for me to do this accide…

I used Fastmail until they randomly deleted a large chunk of my emails and the support followup was abysmal (one email a day around 4am EST) with no ability to recover, explanation…

I've used my laser cutter to cut a mask for acid etching when the laser itself couldn't etch the material needed. How thick is the rubber you use for sandblasting? Could it be lase…

I can see it being occasionally difficult but I touch type anyway and keep a mental model of what I'm writing. The tradeoff would be worth it for me.

I really hope e-ink laptops become a thing. I want a text-focused computer with crazy good battery life and a full keyboard.

It's not beneficial, it's just how it is. I worked a job in Japan where one employee was late delivering a project, so his manager spent literally his entire day standing over his …

I'm not interested in paying for the online video course - does this article http://highexistence.com/the-wim-hof-method-revealed-how-to-... capture the gist of it? Does the book i…

Personally I think the deeper reason they don't kick Breitbart off is because they can't be seen to be vulnerable to pressure from activist campaigns. If they kick off Breitbart, i…

You have a really weird idea of what an 11 year old is capable of.

Good points. Though I think the inflation from foreign rental/investment property ownership is semi-temporary - you can bet Montreal is going to pass similar laws soon just as Vanc…

You're right about compensation, but cost of living in our major cities is nothing like NYC. I live in the capital and pay under $1000 for two bedrooms very close to downtown. You …

There's never going to be one factor that gets you out. It's a combination of tools working together that makes it livable. For me it's meds, exercise and social contact. Meds migh…

Run a broad-spectrum blocker like uBlock Origin? Access your fastmail from an interface other than their web interface?

I think the fact that he was on his own on the street at age 9 or thereabouts and had to find work to survive would probably play a big part. Even if he hated it to start, by the t…

The full list was never mentioned in the show, but I believe one of the writers (Ira Behr?) subsequently published a full list as a separate book. So probably not official canon bu…

I just got a Surface and it's unsettling how nice it feels and works. Like it shouldn't be a MS product.

Judging by the "millennials" (I guess I am one as well) I interact with, at work and through friends, they don't really know how to use computers. I regularly encounter people who …

They'd also have to somehow remove all the old how-to content from the internet and somehow find a way to stop scabs. Any up and coming developer anywhere in the world could find t…

I prepare files for my laser cutter, I used to use Illustrator but the subscription fees were just ridiculous. When Affinity Designer came out I bought it and started using that in…

I went into programming because I saw how well paid a profession it would be. I could have done art or linguistics or something else. I enjoy it too, but I don't expect to be paid …

They also get paid really well because Hollywood makes a lot of money and the national labour board ruled that most of the production companies in Hollywood HAVE to use that guild.…

Amazing, thank you! How have I not heard of this?

Yes, though I opted not to get one because of the form factor and all the sacrifices they made in service of their goal (which was great but not for me).

My dream is an e-paper laptop
