JacobLinneyon Just: A Command Runner

I believe this is just due to how they're parsing the README.md on https://github.com/casey/just. (Though this should probably still be updated)

The installation section has no direct body, but there are subheaders with the actual instructions.

Ex. https://just.systems/man/en/chapter_3.html

I'm curious why, what does face unlock do for you that fingerprint doesn't?

If I'm unlocking my phone, I have my hands on my phone, so using my fingerprint isn't a hassle. Plus with COVID and needing to wear masks, I can still unlock my phone easily without needing to pull down my mask.

Yes it is irrational. That's a common statistical misconception, the key thing here is that every flip has a 60% chance of being heads.

The result of each flip is completely independent of what came before it. In your example the 7th flip is just as likely to be heads as the first flip, or any of the other 5 flips that landed on heads.

JacobLinneyon Ask HN: What is your favorite way to read online content?

My system primarily revolves around Instapaper[0].

If I run into anything that looks like it might be intereseting I save it to Instapaper using the browser extension on my workstation, or the app on my phone / tablet.

I also have a handful of email lists that automatically forward into instapaper, and a couple rss feeds that auto send to instapaper (Via ifttt[1]).

When I want to actually consume content I use the instapaper iPadOS app, which has a simple and clean UI. (This can also be done in your browser if you prefer)
