donovanh··on Learn how to bring animation to your web projects
Thank you for the links and feedback. I will revisit the accessibility section with this new information.
donovanh··on Learn how to bring animation to your web projects
Yes, I totally agree! Performance is something I will consider touching on. I wanted to keep it fairly intro-level but the topic would sit well alongside accessibility.

Thanks for the feedback!

Been using it for months on my 6 and it’s great
donovanh··on Meal frequency and timing in health and disease
I’ve been paying attention to my diet and exercise routine for a few years now and am quite happy with where I am, so I’m really not sure how relevant your comment is. I have no intention of losing weight. I’m more interested in how enjoyable this routine is, how it helps me keep an eye on my macros and how they impact training, and how much I enjoy food too.

So far I’m quite happy with it. I’m more interested in creating varied and interesting dinners, I’m still performing well with the workouts and I feel I have more time during the day as I’m not preparing and eating food so often.

Just my 2c.

donovanh··on Meal frequency and timing in health and disease
I started eating one meal a day a few weeks ago. At first I had huge dinners but they’ve tapered off a bit and are now substantial but not crazy, and usually a small snack an hour or so later depending on how I feel. Combined with morning body weight training / running (which feels awesome when fasted) I’m really enjoying it. The few days when I’ve eaten during the day have left me feeling heavy and bloated and the hunger during the day has gone. It’s very doable.

What's wrong with that?
donovanh··on Apple's AirPods and Live Listen are a revolution for the hearing impaired
I accidentally laundered mine a few weeks ago - left them out for a few hours before trying them and they were (and have continued to be) 100% fine.
donovanh··on Apple Engineers Its Own Downfall with the Macbook Pro Keyboard
Maybe they snub it sometimes but I was able to have a 2 year old iPhone replaced under this rule (the camera padding had drifted across close to the front lens).

I believe the rule here in Ireland is that defects that were present as a result of the initial engineering are covered for more years, but not wear and tear or anything that would fail due to use specifically.

donovanh··on MtGox: Announcement of Commencement of Civil Rehabilitation Proceedings [pdf]
Amazing! I found my purchase and the exact amount of BTC I was holding. It's not massive but feels great to get some closure on this.

Same here. I have no way to find out how much I lost, so I can't claim :(

When people reply they aren’t just talking to you but lots of other people also reading this thread. The information may be useful to some.

Yep

donovanh··on How Strenuous Exercise Affects Our Immune System
I think the opposite. People that fast for a period (> 16 hours) report improved energy levels. This may be because after a while the body enters a ketogenic state where it burns body fat, which is a great source of energy and perfect for when on the hunt.
donovanh··on Craftsmanship – The alternative to the four-hour work week mindset
Thank you for this. I had some experience of what you mean in my 20s when a website did relatively well for a few years and I got to experience that kind of restlessness. I’m working harder than ever these days (approaching 40) and working on software from home while the kids are small, it has its ups and downs but more interesting.
donovanh··on Ask HN: A while back I lost a couple of BC when Mt. Gox went down, am I SOL?
I thought as much. Ah well!
donovanh··on Ask HN: A while back I lost a couple of BC when Mt. Gox went down, am I SOL?
I believe I did file a claim then but it came back empty. At the time it was only a few hundred dollars and not worth putting too much time into pursuing (or so I naively thought). Been having sleepless nights recently wondering what if so thought I’d ask here in case anyone knew of other ideas.

Edit: I found an old response and yes, it was rejected as the amount I put in wasn't found. It's tough as I don't recall the exact amount of BTC I had in the account.

donovanh··on .io domains down?
Converser.io is up. Looks to be a subsection of the domains.
