Hey -- I just registered zmail.website for you if you want it. Figure it's more memorable, like jmail.world.

I was using `,.` as the trigger, as I don't think there are any real-life uses of that simple combo.

  - ,.a.macro
  - ,.b.macro

etc.

When I adopted my dog, I was living alone and knew that he'd be in danger if anything happened to me (e.g., hit by bus), as it might take a few days for anyone to notice.

To handle such a scenario, I built a service to check on me and notify my contacts if I went missing. i.e., a "Dead Man's Switch".

I'm gonna guess https://organicmaps.app/

I want to check it out but I'm reluctant when there aren't any screenshots / demos, etc. (Mentioning in case you're the developer)

Danny! We worked together at BB :) I especially like,

  "I don't claim to actually know all that much, but everyone has something worth sharing."

I've resisted blogging for a long time for fear of not having anything to talk about, but couching it as "sharing" feels like a much better (more generous, more motivating) POV.

If you aren't currently using any "knowledge management" software, you may want to check out Obsidian or Roam Research. I bet you'd get a lot out of it.

Love it. One suggestion - make it so it either copies to your clipboard when you click a color, or add an explicit "copy" button so it's easier to grab the name.

But awesome stuff - the color wheel looks so cool.

This is great - just signed up :)

A friend of mine is working on a supplement that may help in this regard, at least on the female part of the equation.

Watch https://www.netflix.com/title/81254224 and see how effectively social networks can hijack the human brain for nefarious (or just irresponsible) ends.

Even Monero?

Totally agree.

"monkey.org has a bunch of users. most of them hate you."

Okay?

What's the other project?

Very nice, Cory - congratulations :)

How is that censorship if he signed a contract saying he wouldn't publish for any other outlet?

Haven't you worked for companies that disallow you from working for anyone else without prior approval?

Funny you should ask - I just saw this:

Exactly how I'd been using it - keeping my dotfiles in a git repo that's not at GitHub.

I've worked on a number of projects that needed some scheduling capabilities, like "Archive this object in 4 weeks", or "Make sure this process runs every 2 days."

Rather than rebuilding this logic, and for those who hate dealing with CRON syntax, I wanted to create a scheduling API.

My goals are to 1) make it useful, 2) make it easy for developers, and 3) keep it low-cost (using DynamoDB and Lambda).

You can set up schedules via the website, or programmatically using the API.

Feel free to poke around - it's close to launching but the back end is currently disabled.

If this service sounds useful, please add your email to be notified when it launches - https://timeytim.com.

(Thanks, and suggestions welcome!)

Definitely not alone - great idea

Exactly what I need right now. Trying it out (and congrats!) :)

I really like the Asus VivoBook Pro 17, $1200 at https://www.amazon.com/VivoBook-i7-8550U-Processor-GeForce-B...

I'm using it with Kubuntu and haven't had any issues.

I hear that (I'm in Brooklyn), but there have also been cases where something happened nearby that would have changed my route (if I was about to go somewhere).

Or at work, there are alerts about things happening in Grand Central Station, which would also change my plans (if it happened when I was about to leave).

I guess it's never actually caused me to change plans, but I still think it's pretty valuable.

Actually, I did notify relatives when there was a dude with a gun walking around their neighborhood. It's really astounding how much craziness can happen right under your nose.

I think someone else did it: https://neocities.org/

Thanks for posting this - these are facets of the story I'd never have known otherwise

Curious about this - could you give some detail about what would be useful? Not a huge discourse user myself... (I can be reached at mk@{my-hn-username}.com
