I think the adoption of 3d secure will be better in preventing fraud than giving banks more access to my personal information. I suspect access to this information won't be limited…

I started off with a regular desk and instead of throwing out my old desk, I just bought a standing desk converter and I really like it. I alternate between sitting and standing th…

The fairphone now looks like the next phone I'll purchase when I need to. I'm still surviving off a pixel 2. The battery is crap but I always keep a portable on me to account for t…

I love using chrome overrides to test if a front-end bug is fixed on production data! The feedback is immediate and I feel more confident with a PR. It works well for me since I'm …

I would say it's less about listing one task, but focusing on doing the most important task at one point in time. I loved the book four thousand weeks, refreshing reminder that we …

I think making schema changes via migrations would be explicit and should lead to it being predictable. Maybe the best of both worlds is the ORM spitting out what it thinks the mig…

Yes I thought ActiveRecord's ORM addressed a lot of the pain the OP mentioned with traditional ORM's. ActiveRecord is also the first and only ORM I've used extensively and I've bee…

Agreed. I have found myself sometimes asking Chat-GPT for guidance related to obscure error messages and occasionally its more useful than google or stack overflow.

This looks like my type of browser. I currently rely heavily on the vimium chrome extension. Does this support profiles by any chance? I currently use chrome profiles to separate w…

Just wanted to thank you for writing this. I recently had a child and I thought with discipline I would be able to maintain my pre-parent lifestyle but reality is quite distant fro…

I'm a big fan of RSS but RSS limits you to what you already have subscribed to. I think mining user data has become the unfortunate norm but there trying to provide more relevant c…

I would say that this can help with discovery of content that you're interested in. Similar to hacker news, just an alternative approach. I'm interested to try it and have joined t…

I hope this becomes true and sets a trend. This is not just an economic advantage but also an environmental advantage as well too as we have too many devices being thrown away into…

> no deployments other than to production Yah unfortunately where I work has 4 different deployments. 1. Sandbox for the devs to do whatever they please 2. Environment for the acce…

Most of the time I don't because I can understand the code. If I can't, then I usually pull it down and interact with it.

Remote works has it's pros and cons. I love being able to be with family, no commute, a fully stocked kitchen with things I prefer to eat and the ability to take a nap when needed.…

I got the same feeling as well. Open formats and avoiding proprietary lock-in is what the spirit of "write in plain text" is about.

That's good to hear! However there also seems to be a problem with battery drain when the laptop is sleeping which kinda defeats the purpose of a laptop for me. It would be great i…

I personally do. A "just works" configuration will be ideal for me. Anytime I install linux on a new computer, I find myself spending too much time tinkering with configuration set…

This is cool, didn't know about that, will try that out next time.

I agree that ASCII-art definitely is more cenetered around the original markdown spirit but I personally struggle making my ASCII-art diagrams in Vim. Looking at the mermaid, synta…

I love taking notes but I never write about the process I use. Writing notes helps adds clarity to my thoughts. Without it, they move a zillion miles per second and when i try to r…

Yes, everyone is unique and needs to find out what works for them. When my fiancee and I went to the beach this morning, she claimed she missed her swimming group class because she…

I think this happens with most self-help books. Most of the time it's just lecturing about a single point for a number of pages that can be summed up into a paragraph or even a sen…

I feel like the examples that were given were quite narrow-minded. Utilitarians aren't narrow-minded robots, I think most people will include the bigger picture when making decisio…
