I started another just last week: https://github.com/sumnerjj/bookmarkstorage2

I decided I needed a reliable backup of my bookmarks, and an archive of those pages for future reference in case they get taken down. I paid for a managed online service that did t…

Fascinating! > anyone with a lick of python can generate millions of workouts Are you offering an API for the workout generator? Any plans to generate workout plans for a week/mont…

Not saying it's nice, but that just sounds like tough negotiating to me. As opposed to actual illegal salary collusion by Apple, Google, Intel, Adobe

How did you feel it compared with some of his other works? Personally I enjoyed it, but to me it wasn't quite on the same level with some of his other books like the buried giant o…

+1 for Endurance, and if you enjoyed that I also recommend The Terror (which is historical fiction but had a similar feel to me)

"When We Cease to Understand the World" was fascinating historical fiction, which felt more like fiction because the stories were so out there and well-written. Many times I looked…

Honey buzz was my favorite (new to me) game of 2022. It's rare to find a game with this combination of both top tier strategic depth and aesthetics. https://boardgamegeek.com/board…
