About molloy

Tinker, bard, writer, quixotic pragmatist, software consultant, adrenaline junkie, aspiring teacher and artist

Keen interests in world-building, storytelling, normative ethics, playing games, reading, cooking and eating food, diving into complex systems, collecting, making, tweaking, and using tools, and spending time appreciating nature, friends, and family.

You can reach me at yo at molloy dot soy, but I'm not looking for paid projects currently. I will edit technical writing or blog posts for FOSS software if I have the time–feel free to make requests!

    Might possibly be easier or more fun to dump the app when it’s loaded into RAM then repackage it and run it on your phone.

    Do you have any recipes for somebody in the US who has been meaning to dive into baking good breads? That's one culinary area I've yet to do a deep dive into, but I need to because…

    Very nice! So, in Safari on iOS 14, the view demo link brought me to a page that was mostly blank besides the name and picture. I turned on a screen recording to capture the bug, b…

    It's still under very active development by technomancy and others, with a friendly community and lively IRC channel.

    By the reasoning of who you're replying to, the answer to your question would be that it's because we share the same common ancestor with both chimps and gorillas—gorillas also inh…

    Oh, I was bringing up the price in comparison to the price of plant milks from a consumer's standpoint—while plant milks seemingly have a high markup from raw materials to product …

    A lot of plant milks are unsweetened, and there is a high and growing demand for these products—yes these companies want to make money, but it's not as if they were manufacturing t…

    Thanks for the addendum. It's prescribed for ADHD off-label more frequently than most people realize, and I've been prescribed strattera, concerta, and adderall before settling on …

    Meditation is a great addition to the list and I can't believe I glossed over it, it played a huge part in my recovery. I try to live life in a state of flow, if that makes sense—"…

    What makes you a staunch carnivore, if I may ask?

    I agree. The only animal products I eat are bivalves, though I was vegan for three years prior and vegetarian on and off for a decade prior to that. I'm finally at a place where I …

    I didn't realize there were issues with it—it's been forever since I looked at it. I added it as an afterthought, rather than seriously citing it, but that was laziness on my part …
