You can also reduce team size by employing insane, life-destroying crunch time.

The no hassle returns from Amazon mitigate everything. I recently bought direct from someone and had to return because they didn't send the advertised item. I had to pay return shipping and a restocking fee, costing me $40 and a lot of my time. I tried to work it out with the seller not realizing that I only had 30 days to dispute with Paypal, so I was screwed there. My overwhelming takeaway was I should have bought from Amazon. (and, if you use paypal open a case with them asap instead of talking to the seller first).

I don't particularly like Amazon and would like to shop somewhere else, but it is sooooo convenient that it's hard to quit.

You are not wrong, but I just don't have time. My choices are pay someone or throw my hands up. I have been paying backblaze. But I recently had a drive die, and discovered the backups are missing .exe and .dll files, and so that part of the restore was worthless.

What time I do have, I've been using to try and figure out photo libraries. Nothing is working the way I need it to. The providers are a mess of security restrictions and buggy software.

You can get by just fine in the US without a credit card too. At least if you have a debit card (which can pretend to be a credit card in most situations). We were actually unscored by the credit bureaus for several years when we didn't own a house.

They said go every day, not do intense workouts every day. Plenty of things you can do at a gym that don't require recovery days. Being there so much should confer some social benefits too.

I envy your life of peaceful routine. For me every evening is a trip into the unknown. Sure some things repeat on the same days. But there is always something new. This week the one I'm aware of is daily Soccer tryouts. I have to check my spouse's paper calendar every day to keep up.

Posting like this is an anti-pattern. "Everyone wants what I want, and if you don't build it my way you are stupid." Props to teams that can find some value in feedback like this, but I think I would have stopped reading. If you have really valuable feedback for a product the last thing you want to do is deliver it wrapped in ignorance and entitlement.

I read the bug as notepad can launch unsafe links by delegating them to the OS to open.

I think we overestimate the amount of reading, writing, and thinking that occurred before LLMs.

It's hard for me to imagine anyone balking at this feature. My core note taking workflow frequently involves:

1. Note about blah 2. Paste link to blah 3. Open that link later when reviewing my notes.

Blah is sometimes a web link, sometimes a link to a doc on my system, and sometimes a link to an item in my todo tracker. The better analogy is this is like a pencil having an eraser built in.

I use Drafts instead of Notepad, but if I used Notepad I would want to be able to easily open links in my notes. When I do find myself in Notepad, it's because I double clicked on a readme file that often contains links to resources I need.

If we use our tungsten to make quality Big Mining Drills (https://wiki.factorio.com/Big_mining_drill), we can improve the efficiency of known resource patches.

Accessibility is for all user experiences, not just websites. WCAG is still a good resource for native apps even where some specifics do not 100% apply.

If Qwasm is referring to Quake, it absolutely should have, for example, legible color contrast and be usable if you are colorblind.

I learned some 6502 last year in service of NES ROM Hacking. If you're interested in doing the same, NesHacker's Final Fantasy guide was instrumental in getting me started: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HLzEhyvHBos

I kept expecting a Buddhism pitch in the article. It reminded me so much of the opening premise of The Untethered Soul.

I'm not too interested in Buddhism specifically, but I have been separating myself from technology more, and It's been great savoring the little moments I used to completely miss.
