I'm not whom you responded to, but, thank you, I found that diagram very helpful.

That, and getting casual, social use of mushrooms to appear in prominent TV shows and movies. Not the party scenes from a frat movie, but 30-, 40-, and even 50-somethings consuming them in a social setting in which the supporting actors don't even raise an eyebrow or cast it in a positive light.

Make it seem to the public that it's a normal thing, everyone is doing it. Once a large enough portion of the voting population see it as no big deal, they're more likely to say "why not?" at the polls, even if they don't have any interest in partaking.

It takes several years, but it has proven effective.

I also run a personal mail server and haven't had any issues with delivery (that I know of). I'm using Mail-in-a-Box, which deserves all of the credit for keeping the box low friction to setup and maintain. I'm running it on a low-end VPS from a cloud provider I'm too embarrassed of to name, but it works (usually).

Edited: cleaned up some of the mistakes made when editing and moving text around, prior to posting.

5s for maps, 11s for messenger (3s for messages). But, this is on a plain 5, no "S" or any of that fancy stuff new stuff.

My latest annoyance is when I'm using the keyboard and it just visually freezes for several seconds. It appears locked-up, but it's really not. It's silently recording every button you press in anger, and finishes with the throwing of the entire buffer contents at you all at once, which, to add insult to injury, you now have to also delete.

Sadly, no. It's not that the ideas were invalid, I learned that I'm simply lazy and unmotivated.

I've been using a manager called Enpass [1] for over a year now and really like it.

It has browser extensions (Chrome, FF, & Safari), local storage (with many cloud-sync options), and apps for Mac, Windows, Linux, iOS, Android, etc.

The desktop versions are free and the mobile version is about $10/platform (lifetime license).

I have no connection with the company, just a very pleased user.

When I was looking to get rich quick back in the eighties, I saw several methods that focused on teaching you how to get rich quick by selling people information via classified ads. And, of course, you would find these products by reading the classified ads.

Not really any different than today's video courses on how to get rich by making instructional videos.

In both cases, for some people, it does indeed work :)

> putting money pre-tax into a HSA which can then be used to pay for health insurance.

Surprisingly (it was to me, anyway), health insurance premiums don't qualify as a medical expense, so any funds withdrawn from an HSA for insurance premiums will be subject to taxes and penalties.

I'm ok with that. I can eyeball a bunch of RSS entries very quickly, and I think a "NYC NUKED" headline will get my attention just fine. I'll attach my own level of interest.

I hear ya

I'm at 11,688 bookmarks now ಠ_ಠ. I'm certain that many of them could be deleted, and periodically I'll scan through a section of the list and delete the ones that are obviously no longer of interest to me.

I started using a CLI bookmark manager called "buku" [0], storing the bookmarks database in a Dropbox folder to get multi-system sharing.

One nice feature is after running a search you get dropped into an interactive buku prompt where you can do further searches, open results in a browser, and edit entries.

My motivation for the switch was that I kept encountering issues (mostly performance) when using a high number of bookmarks maintained by the browser. And then there's the hassle of moving all of those bookmarks if I switch browsers again. It has been a positive experience overall.

I guess the alternative is to learn very little, have fun, run up huge debt, because why not, you're going to get run over by a bus tomorrow. But, then you don't. Well, crap.

The good ol' days :) My home desktop is using a Boston Accoustics 2.1 (BA790) that I bought in 1996 as an "open box" item from Best Buy, and they still sound great. I even had a family member buy me a 6.1 (Logitech) system over 10 years ago as a Christmas gift and it's still sitting in the box. I feel a little guilty about not using it, but I really like the sound of my old BAs. At least I know I have a spare system if I need one.

I agree. I have a mid-2009 15" MBP to which I long ago maxed-out the RAM and replaced the HDD with an SSD, and it's still my daily driver.

About the only time I notice its age is when I do something involving very heavy disk i/o. While it is an SSD, it's still only SATA II. The vast majority of the time I don't even notice. It's been a great machine.

Exactly. Cherry-picking what portion to leak can, intentionally or not, result in a narrative orthogonal to the truth.

Maybe they could get a favorable rate from Capital One ;) Would it even be legal for a bank to finance the purchase of themselves?

That is correct. My "apps" are really just small utilities, and the compile times are about 1s or a little less on my older i7 with spinning rust.

I haven't tried the new versions, so I don't know how easy it is, but Delphi claims to do easy cross-platform now, too, for Windows, OSX, iOS, and Android.

Doesn't look like they are, to me. Their main domain's IP address is owned by Microsoft (so, using Azure?), but the status page IP is in a block owned by Digital Ocean.

Edit: I could have sworn I refreshed the page before replying to make sure someone else hadn't already responded, and I didn't see your comment jschulenklopper. Scary how similar they are lol.

The space.com article mentions "The good news is that the vast majority of the behemoths — the ones capable of causing damage on a global scale if they were to hit Earth — have been discovered", so they think a small minority are still undiscovered.

Of course, that's the problem with not knowing what we don't know. If there are any undiscovered, then we really don't know what percentage we know about. The fields of statistics and probabilities can probably prove me wrong, but I'm used to that.

Funny, I didn't understand what you were referring to and quickly forgot about your comment. I then read the 500-mile story, got to the end and thought "units? oh cool, new command... wait, wasn't there a comment about `units`?"

I have to admit I still like and use the Compiz cube, but what I really like is the Wobbly Windows effect. It may seem cheesy to many, but it's oddly satisfying to me. And it's really smooth even in VirtualBox.

In the case of Kraken, yes, they use Electron to be cross platform.

I half agree. They are definitely giving him an out, but I don't consider his recording the call as defiance, more like just being practical. I'd record the call, too.

I don't see it as Apple doing any wrong here. They recently received a lot of bad press for terminating the Dash developer's account for some unknown reason. Turns out there was a good reason after all, and would like the originator of the bad press to now present the actual details of the "why". And he doesn't have to admit to any wrongdoing.

From the way I understood Dash and Apple's conversation, Kapeli helped another developer become a fully registered in Apple's dev program. He helped by paying the $99 on his own credit card and letting the new developer do testing with his hardware, thus "linking" the accounts in the eyes of Apple (same CC, same hardware devices). And it was actions by the new developer that appeared fraudulent.

Apple isn't asking him to admit involvement with the new developer. They just want to get the word out that it wasn't some blackbox heuristic that singled out Kapeli for some unknowable reason.

Basically a case of guilt-by-association. And because of that, I really think they should have contacted him about it before bringing out the ban hammer.

Another method is to ⌘-tab to the minimized app, and while still pressing ⌘, hold down the Option key and release ⌘.

Not very elegant and it won't work if the app has a mix of minimized and non-minimized windows, but I usually don't have a mix. If that's the case, you can still use notyourwork's method above.

I've been using Mail-In-A-Box for self-hosted email for about a year and a half, and it's been very low maintenance and fairly easy to setup.

It did take some time at the beginning to get all of the DNS stuff right, but that's a one-time cost. And, so far, I haven't noticed any spam binning once I finally got the DKIM & SPF stuff correct.

I guess part of it could be that since I'm using a lesser known ISP my IP hasn't been blacklisted as part of a large block.

If you still have an interest in self-hosting email, I highly recommend Mail-In-A-Box (https://mailinabox.email/).

While I don't have an explanation for you, you aren't the only one to think it's weird. Einstein called it "spooky action at a distance".

There is a TED video linked in the story [1] that is a really interesting watch. Mycelium is some fascinating stuff.

Agreed! I installed it a long time ago and always forget that it's there until I run across a substitution, and can't help but chuckle. Yeah, it's sophomoric, but it makes me laugh and I like that.
