Re:Slack Down on Wednesday August 02, 2023 @01:23PM (#36973917)
Over an hour with no Slack access so far, and I gotta say I'm enjoying this focus time.
Love this! Great work
I second buying the chair... if you spend any significant portion of your day with a specific piece of furniture (chair, bed), it's worth spending a little more on it.
Just discovered this! You can enable this feature with Command + K, then Z (same command to disable).

lol I was wondering the same thing... I wonder if having Silk Road in the title of this post is the reason it made the front page with only 1 comment too.

I'd be interested to know if there have been any studies like this that focus on Instagram.

Re:Bill Gates Resume (1974) on Sunday August 04, 2019 @12:11PM (#20607365)
Reading this makes me want to find a good biography of Gates or the story of how Microsoft came to be. Any suggestions?
I know we're talking about Antarctica, but this story reminded me of the incredible book from Hampton Sides called, "In The Kingdom of Ice" (https://www.amazon.com/Kingdom-Ice-Terrible-Voyage-Jeannette...).

It takes in the 1880s, when the general population believed that the North Pole was an open polar sea. The book tells the story of the USS Jeannette, which tries to sail up there.

I'm excited to see if a community arises to build and share themes for HyperTerm. I switched from iTerm, and will reply back to this comment if I switch back.

I would buy a printed book of all these stories. I am also compelled to redesign their website for free.
