Well done, enjoyed it.

I’ve been using Mimestream as my main Gmail app on macOS for a few weeks, as Mailplane (my Gmail desktop app of choice for the past decade or so is being deprecated). Only thing missing is its inability to snooze messages, which slows down my daily workflow. Hopefully they will add it soon, for it is a well-built Gmail app. I don’t know whether I’d pay a hundred bucks for it, but it would be tempting.

Anesthesia works on humans too, and we still don’t know why.

The Empire of the Sun, it still is.

Yes, indeed. The vast majority of Redditors, bots. Some quite clever, actually.
Or, vice versa.
Re:Simple Personal Finance Tracking with GnuCash on Tuesday May 19, 2020 @02:28PM (#23238303)
Quicken died for me ten ir so years ago, as did many other personal finance software applications. It is the syncing between devices that’s imperative these days, and this is where Quicken is failing, especially when your database gets larger: it syncs, but as your database grows its latency becomes ever more apparent.

Quickbooks Online, which I have been using for a little over a year, does syncing exceptionally well; but at the cost of a polished UI.

Ideally I would love to be able to access my Quickbooks desktop database using iOS or web, alas that’s not doable.

Of course. But it is deferrable, and without penalties.
Re:Ask HN: Tricks to improve posture? on Thursday April 16, 2020 @07:29PM (#22894646)
I am 52, male. Started wearing wooden clogs a couple of years ago, as I was experiencing similar symptoms as OP. Life-changing experience, this has been. My advice to OP: dispose of your sneakers and all of your comfy shoes. Wear nothing but wooden clogs instead.
Depends, on how you drive.

A Latin transliteration of the Ancient Greek, as “δαίμων” engendered “daimon.”
Those were the days: weekdays at Wits, weekends in Pretoria.
Re:Epic games, makers of Fortnite, raise $1.25B on Saturday October 27, 2018 @02:21PM (#18316963)
Clearly, you do not have any kids addicted to this game. My two nieces and a nephew, are costing me ~$100.00/week in in-app purchases. This has been going on for a little over a year now.

Incorrect. TIME sold for $2.4 billion.
Ditto, indispensable utility within a must-have mac OS utility. I look forward to one day having the option to increase the font size of the clipboard.
