Apart from regular coding, I now have to learn the various functionalities and features of AI Editors and concepts such as rules, skills, harness, etc. etc. Cursor seems to be different from Claude Code, and every day some or other editor is launching new concepts that I can't wrap my head around. I haven't tried claude code anytime and used only Cursor, but Claude Code terminal coding is scary.

I only wish there is an iOS version for this wonderful app.

So, implementing the concepts that you learned is a good way to solidify your learning. What is the best approach? Do I make a hobby project for myself, or should I have to build something that is meaningful and useful to others?

I believe people will lose their critical thinking skills, when they use AI blindly. May be we should write the code for a requirement, and then ask the AI to review and suggest any optimizations, so that we could probably learn the mistakes we make.

I have a reminder in my Todoist to celebrate Festivus :)

I am using an add-on called "Dark Reader" in firefox.

Gist: 30% reduced calorie consumption will slow down brain aging over a span of 20 years.

What would be the probability if it loses the next toss too?

How did they get access to the conversations ?

Looks like I need to pay for iCloud+ subscription to disable this.

Safari ads are not blocked when using NextDNS. Is it just me?

I am considering taking melatonin supplements. Could you recommend any? I wake up several times in the night.

I thought physical activity will increase your hunger.

Do South Korean companies prefer hosting data on their own servers instead of using Public cloud providers like Azure, AWS, GCP?

I started using Zen Browser recently because its based on Firefox and it is aesthetically pleasing.

I don't know if it is working, because sometimes, I see Google Adsense ads on Wordle site.

can't say if you are kidding? or if you are someone who runs 10+ km daily and looks down on others.

OP is doing this as a hobby, no need to criticize it in my opinion.

*Summarized it with GPT*

70%+ experienced better mental health and SWB; ~58% had better sustained attention; ~91% improved on at least one outcome.

- Those with higher Fear of Missing Out (FoMO) at baseline benefited more in SWB/mental health. - Those with more ADHD symptoms at baseline benefited more in attentional awareness.

*Actionable Advice Based on the Study:*

Periodically Block Mobile Internet on Your Smartphone

Try using an app or built-in settings to block all internet access (Wi-Fi and data) on your phone for a set period (e.g., 2 weeks or a few days each week). Calls and texts can remain enabled to stay reachable without the distractions of the internet. Start Small if Full Blocking Feels Difficult

If completely blocking mobile internet is too challenging, begin by limiting access during certain hours (e.g., evenings, weekends) or blocking only specific distracting apps (like social media or news). Replace Online Time with Healthy Offline Activities

Use the freed-up time to engage in activities associated with improved well-being: in-person socializing, exercising, spending time outdoors, pursuing hobbies, or reading books. Monitor Your Screen Time

Regularly check your average daily screen time on your phone and set goals to reduce it. Track changes to see what works best for you. Notice Your Mood and Well-Being

Pay attention to changes in your mood, attention span, and mental health as you reduce your mobile internet use. Keep a simple journal or use brief self-checks. Leverage Social Support

Consider doing the intervention with friends, family, or colleagues for added motivation and accountability. Identify Your Triggers

Reflect on when and why you reach for your smartphone’s internet features. Replace those moments with alternative activities. Customize Your Approach

If you notice high Fear of Missing Out (FoMO) or difficulty with attention (e.g., ADHD symptoms), you may benefit even more from reducing mobile internet access. Don’t Strive for Perfection

Even partial reduction or non-strict adherence can yield benefits. Focus on progress rather than perfection. Plan for Maintenance

After an initial intensive period (like 2 weeks), consider maintaining reduced mobile internet use through ongoing routines, such as regular “offline hours” or app-free days.

Nice. I wonder if it prevents background activity too? If I block Whatsapp using this app, would it still fetch messages in the background?

Interesting.

Thank you.

Any recommendations on how long should I sleep for this process to kick off and get completed? Or does it happen all the time I am sleeping?

could someone eli5 this for me pls.

I've recently read about worktrees and currently trying to incorporate it in my work routine. For NodeJS applications, it seems we need to create a soft link to point to the node_modules folder in "main" worktree in all worktrees. Otherwise we need to do a npm install in each of the worktree, and knowing how big the node_modules folder can be, a lot of disk space and time is wasted.

I've tried this and it seems to be working fine.

git clone --bare https://path.to/repo.git

mv repo.git .git

now we can create worktrees in the same folder.

Had to give up at Points 1056 / Level 105 as it is never ending.

Off topic, but I see many people using archive.is. My question is what if archive.is goes down, goes private or disappears from the internet altogether.

Wondering if Apple shares my personal data to third-parties from Health and Fitness apps on the iOS.
