I can’t recommend Monarch strongly enough. It is a service that aggregates across bank accounts, brokerage, credit cards, etc. The killer feature for me is that it provides overall…

Seconded. The Yoto is great. It also supports arbitrary MP3 assignment to their NFC cards. It’s all proprietary but has been rock solid over multiple years.

I grew up in a small town in the US before cell phones were ubiquitous. When we started getting cell phones, the numbers all had the same first six digits. The last four were assig…

You should take a look at https://fastmail.blog/2018/09/10/access-and-assistance-bill/ . They say it doesn’t affect their customers.

I switched from Gmail to Fastmail back in 2013 [1] and haven't looked back. Fastmail has continued to make significant improvements, while keeping the interface lean and functional…

I wrote more about my Hugo-based personal knowledge base here recently: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21311156 You can see it at https://maxmasnick.com/kb Essentially it is …

I'm only interested in password managers with good desktop, web, and mobile support.

Yes, unless you have my weird requirement to use an Apache server, I think something like Netlify or GitHub Pages makes way more sense.

It's somewhat convoluted and custom to my specific hosting setup (I use https://www.nearlyfreespeech.net because I want an Apache server so I can use complex redirects). Essentiall…

Hi, thanks!

Sorry about the bum link (it's fixed now). The simple answer is you can download zips of the entire OneNote notebook from the OneDrive web interface.

I have a personal "knowledge base" that is publicly available at https://maxmasnick.com/kb/ . This is partially inspired by Chris Albon's excellent data science technical notes: ht…

For a while now I’ve been using “someservice.com@account.mydomain.me” when signing up for accounts. I use FastMail for my email hosting, and they allow you to turn on wildcards for…

Anyone interested in this article should also take a look at some of Pearl’s work on causal inference. Here is one article: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2836213/

This is new to me too. Thanks, I'll take a look.

Yes, it's got some really nice features but it is a little clunky/complex compared to Zotero. I would try out Papers first before looking at Bookends...Bookends can work great, but…

zotfile is a must-have for Zotero! Thank you for making it.
