So sad, thanks for sharing.

I used to have a TextExpander shortcut that allowed me to copy any URL, type the shortcut, and a bit.ly link would pop out. I used it all the time. Then their API changed, it broke, and I never got the script working again.
Years later, we have Claude.
I wanted that feature back tonight, so I built it in less than an hour. This one works great with TextExpander and iOS Shortcuts (aka any Share sheet).
Thanks Claude!
Why would anti-fascists jam EMS frequencies?
For the record, brains are also not free of hallucinations.
I made this switch years ago and love it. I also strongly recommend Marvis Pro, a fantastic app for navigating your Apple Music collection on iOS.
The US is pretty clearly an imperialist aggressor? Latin America is littered with the bodies of those who didn't conform to US economic dictates.
Maybe you should get more invites
VC for now, offer ticketing with a fee later.
Literally they just need to add ticketing with a small fee. They are sitting on a huge revenue stream they just haven't need to roll out yet.
They'll say it's for national defense against other countries, but it's only a matter of time before these weapons and surveillance tools will be deployed on American citizens. Foucault's boomerang.
Def agree that consensual non-monogamy (CNM) != polyamory, and there's a loottt of confusion out there around that distinction (and in this article and this HN thread, too).
I might be poly for the right people at the right time, but I'm not currently. However, I'm definitely CNM for life because all I want is to talk it out!
Well, that, and occasionally hook up with other people
Doesn't really matter what they call it - that's non-monogamy (edit: or cheating)
Good thing you figured out that non-monogamy simply doesn't work. Must feel good to finally get to the bottom of that! I'll make sure to inform the millions of Americans currently practicing it that you figured it out - simple arithmetic!
Indeed a wild generalization, but I can agree from many anecdotes that monogamous couples "going poly" is super super hard - much easier to start a relationship in a poly dynamic than attempt to transform one.
I use Fastmail which has CardDAV syncing, and generally it's worked great. One or twice I've noticed it stops syncing and I have to remove + re-add the sync profile, but generally speaking I've been pretty happy with the results.
This is cool. What do you mean by "defense?"
Soooo you just don't think that phones (with social media apps) are addictive and harmful for kids? The research on this is pretty clear.
No. The decision of any individual consumer will always be millions of times less impactful than the decisions of the leaders in these organizations. They should be held to account - not the individual buying what they need to get through life.
All I want is an analog watch that shades the face of the watch when I have calendar events coming up. That's it. No screen, no pings, no nothing. Just the ability to check my watch and see how long till my next appointment. Unfortunately, [this kickstarter watch](
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1540240985/calendar-wat...) is now dead.
This is such a toxic response. You're commenting on someone's blog about how they are sad. Your response is to argue that they're wrong which means that their sadness is invalid.
FTFY: "Everything advertised is overpriced"
When you buy a product that's been advertised, you also have to pay for the ad that was served to you. Ban ads!
I guess one implication of this will be the continuing rapid decrease in cost of software development. Everyone who previously could barely scrape together a functional app will now be able to launch advanced, beautiful, feature-rich apps. Quality of products could improve vastly (quantity will improve vastly).

It seems only a matter of time before Github/Copilot/ChatGPT (all owned by Microsoft) will be able to take the text from any open issue on your repo and suggest a PR which might fix that bug or add that feature. Obviously, as a developer, this sounds like a WILD superpower."Upgrade entire front end from Bootstrap 4 to Bootstrap 5""Add integration tests for account creation and account...

Sure, but the point is that you have to fight now. Personally, I think a union would be a GREAT move, and I'm surprised he didn't stress that more.
