Tangent: there are some incompatible words that don't add up. So far, I found:

- Dragon + Angel

- Train + Star

- Fish + Yin Yang

- Orc + Ninja

Were these screens e-ink, wouldn't they allow for doors that are better insulated? This could yield lower power consumption, couldn't it?

On the other hand, door insulation might be insignificant if the fridge is opened often enough. Which is likely what any retailer hopes for.

It seems to be the case, though: "Every account with an active subscription at the moment of the pricing change on March 15 will get the “Early adopter” status. This will make the special “Early Adopter Professional” plan available to them instead of the regular Professional plan, with the main difference being 1,000 free included searches monthly, instead of 700."

For what it's worth, as far as I understand, you actually need to activate the Zoom Controller to get the menu mentioned above.

With respect to supplements... I can relate to what you describe and I tend to think it's not just based on chemistry. That being said, on different occasions, I felt a dramatic boost when taking magnesium + zinc + B cocktail. I guess it means I was deficient in those. Who know is you aren't...

Interesting the tyranny of "you read my message and didn't reply right away" is strong enough for iOS 14 to allow to mark a message as unread. Doesn't this make the whole point of read receipts moot, actually?

I secretly hope this read-receipts feature (anti-feature?) is coming to an end. I believe read-receipts should be a per-message option or be discarded from apps. I know read-receipts can be disabled as a user choice, but most people expect them nowadays (me too, to be honest). It's that very expectation that I'm questioning and for which I suggest we should at least have a specific notion of ethics or politeness.

Thank you. In case others would wonder too: https://www.rae.es/espanol-al-dia/porque-porque-por-que-por-...

How is none of these threads about Assange extradition on the front page? I realize they can hit the top by the time I post my comment, but so far they are all buried pretty far down on best, new and newest. Have people gotten bored with this? Did the news hit in the dead time slot for the Silicon Valley?

I seem to remember this was used by emacs' mode embedding the w3m browser. It was great to read long structured documentation sites by just pressing space-bar to "scroll" through pages.

Excel for macOS is filled with awful bugs and limitations. I'm sorry I don't have a list at the top of my mind. The same goes for Word and PowerPoint.

In case you wouldn't know: Firefox for iOS can now act as a password manager. So, even though Lockwise has disappeared, the function is still there through Firefox alone.

Reminds me of Plain Old Recipe, a website that strips out fluff from big recipe websites. You provide a link to a recipe, it makes it to the point. I thought the site had closed but it's apparently still live!

In case you missed the last paragraph of the blog post, it says: "I have made several attempts to talk with developers who worked on CPS-1/CPS-2 systems. All of them have failed so far." Feel free to contact him for the legacy of your great work and the greater good of humanity :)

Indeed. This comes to mind right away. Question is: are we missing something? Of course, tqdm brings this functionality right into python REPL, which is new and looks great.

pv and tqdm would look even better if they'd be called implicitly (with an opt-out) since I always end up regretting not using pv when my command is taking too long. Too late.

What book are you talking about? Is it "Microsoft Windows User Experience" published by Microsoft Professional Editions?

Aside: Thank you for your video! It looks great and that's yet another OS I'd like to try and play with -- along with Plan 9, which Serenity made me think of a bit, and TempleOS because of the soul-saving effect of devoting to a hard piece of beautiful software craftmanship.

Sorry, that's a dupe somehow:

If I recall correctly, high end hard drives used a protocol called SCSI in the 90s that was mostly embedded in hardware.

You may be interested in Libimobiledevice that lets you sync an iPhone to Linux. That may work also with a mac?

I just found out about this tool from this (recent) thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27758045

On the flip side, I see longer sleep routine as an opportunity to dream more.

(Says one who needs 10 hours of sleep to function at normal performance :))

I'll at least point to another example: http://aevol.fr/

Sure. I'm just saying it's been working for the last years. Let's hope it lasts.

The good thing is that, so far (in France), the blockings only affect the most mainstream providers.

A very easy one: Firefox > Preferences > General > Network settings > Enable DNS overs HTTPS

Thanks to a recent article that's been posted on HN, I've discovered OP's blog and /this/ gorgeous article reproducing handmade (are they?!) designs drawn and painted in the 50s in a far off town of India. I hope others will have a look at this gem. Thanks for posting!

I agree we should take better care of our sound quality. That being said I don't manage to get an idea what's worth it. Network quality is part of the equation. Macbook's microphones seem to sound pretty good. Shure SM7B looks great but it's 380€... How much better is the sound on your contacts' ears is what I'm wondering about. Any feedback/idea?

I'll also mention the Taiwanese competitor: Taitung. I've not tried it but I'm very curious of their traditional model TAC-20S (http://www.tatung.com/Product/Consumer/258) that looks very simple but it's supposed to prevent burning food as opposed to the basic rice cookers.

I've been "cooking" all food with extremely basic rice cookers for the last years. More advanced ones are tempting but Joshirushi looks a bit complicated, I have a taste for dumb appliances.

Also, under these brands I don't find rice cookers small enough. My current one (3 cups, I guess) is perfect for rice and vegetables for one meal.

Please let me know what websites you're thinking of! What I like with this one is the historical view and the attempt at devising new ways with simple tech.

Tangent: thank you for the link, the whole website looks very promising! That's a tremendous collection of articles on low energy footprint. I've only skimmed through some of them but it's a joy!

I've not tried the tool but, given the main picture on your page, I like the apparent easiness to align text on columns. Structuring notes is where handwriting is difficult to beat so you're on an interesting track.
