In my family I always volunteer to go to Grocery Outlet. I have an optimized route throughout the store so I can check every shelf for anything new.

I do not use Twitter.com not the Twitter app. I use third-party clients exclusively.
Re:RSS Is Better Than Twitter on Saturday March 30, 2019 @02:04PM (#19530806)
The solution to “too much RSS” is the same for Twitter. Unsubscribe/unfollow. Twitter does not require you to follow someone to interact with them. I follow relatively few people directly yet I have themed lists following other accounts. If I want local news I check my local list.

Twitter works quite well in this regard vs. Facebook where you need to be “friends” to interact.

That’s a law.
"Small Is Beautiful: A Study of Economics As If People Mattered" by E.F. Schumacher.

Completely changed my mind on economics, how it relates to people, and what fulfilling work is. I can't recommend it enough.

Tesla offers this in their current Autopilot solution. Turn on the turn indicator and the car changes lanes if it is safe to do so.
Tesla does not use LIDAR, they use radar.
I've switched almost exclusively to drinking Mount Hagen organic Fair Trade instant coffee. It's very, very good at a decent price.

To expand, ! means it's a more dangerous version of the method without the ![0]. A method could be dangerous, but not have a safer counterpart, and thus be named without a !.

Hyperloop utilizes an evacuated vacuum chamber. It's different than a pneumatic tube concept.

All the while denying that it's a good idea. Baffling.

The huge benefit will be when this is used in conjunction with the self parking system. You drive up to the front of your house, get out, and the car drives itself into the garage and plugs itself in.

It should be uncomplicated once you grok it. I signed up for their free course. It helped.

I'm very interested! The current "solution" is CamTwist + Adobe FMLE.
Re:This coupon code is a slap in the face on Tuesday August 13, 2013 @12:03PM (#6206519)
I've done the same. The coupon code box screams, "You're a sucker if you don't have a code to put in here."

I go searching for a code. I find a few great ones that have expired but nothing active right now. Now I can continue my purchase and feel like a chump or abandon my cart. The latter usually wins.

Re:No user agent detection for the iPad Mini on Monday November 05, 2012 @07:48PM (#4746655)
I'd much rather use features that are consistent and that I am familiar with on my device (zooming in Mobile Safari) than every Tom, Dick, and Harry deciding how they are going to cripple their site because User Agent =~ /Mobile/.
Re:.mail app on Wednesday July 25, 2012 @03:58PM (#4292721)
This seemingly minor preference is what makes Mail.app useable.
Okay, that is interesting.
I accidentally duplicated a status as well (@JuliaRosien). I don't know why you're discounting @typerist's tweet, yes she tweeted twice but it doesn't mean both are excluded, it's only counted once.

So by my count you're tied at 15 retweets each.

It appears similar, except your posts are tied to your Twitter account instead of just floating.

Technically done-in-a-long-weekend (last Thanksgiving).

I'm attempting to turn it into a side-project to justify buying a Retina MacBook Pro, so I dusted it off, recorded the video, and updated a few bits.

Re:Show HN: Prolifi.cc, a weekend project on Wednesday June 27, 2012 @11:48AM (#4167560)
I posted this elsewhere in the comments: "There are quite a few long message services. Most (if not all) are plain text. Prolifi.cc allows styling via Markdown, images, etc. More of a proper article post and less wall of text."

Eek. It's supposed to be WebM-friendly. I'll see what I can do.

Meanwhile, I've posted a blurb.

Re:Show HN: Prolifi.cc, a weekend project on Wednesday June 27, 2012 @10:37AM (#4167130)
Less than that. Tumblr has it's own followers/following/social network. This does nothing more than "attach" a blog post to a tweet. apitaru put it quite well elsewhere in the comments.

Twitter has three permission levels: Read Only, Read and Write, and Read, Write, and Direct Messages.

In order to have it Tweet on your behalf it needs Read and Write permissions. Along with that comes all the other permissions. If I could exclude it I would.

Rails on Passenger on nginx, omniauth for Twitter authentication, redcarpet for Markdown support.
