Yeah it seems like most of this can be handled by some more dev hours to Parquet

It seems tacked on pretty quickly - I would have expected they try a little more legalese regarding what counts as a "user interface".

Love the idea of someone tackling this space in Rust, but please just make a normal UI, I have no idea what I am looking at.

The article is paywalled, so I cannot tell if they mention the link to PFAS/PFOS: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S004565352...

It’s sort of like a leftist publication for leftists that have never read anything and don’t base anything in any economics or theory or historical context and just do unresearched reactionary “capitalism bad” stuff.

I do not know any actual leftists that take it seriously it mostly just serves to embarrass everyone.

I would like to know how these are on XCode - would love to have the cheapest/most lightweight possible way to build iOS apps (derived from some cross-platform builder like Expo/Lynx/Dioxus) since I have no other use for MacOS.

Looking at tech specs, it seems like the one with 512GB drive might be serviceable. I have a very old 256GB Air and I struggle to keep enough drive space open to have XCode installed on it.

Agreed, I left Fastmail for Proton and am very happy with it. It improves/changes in fits and starts sometimes, but support is always great and overall I am happy with the usability, direction, pricing, etc.

I do wish ProtonMail handled labels/folders as one unified model like GMail does, it's so much simpler and more ergonomic. But I imagine hoping for a data model change like that is probably a pipe dream.

Kagi is still by far the best results for me, particularly for engineering content and worth every dollar.

DuckDuckGo results are even more frustrating than the currently-terrible version of Google for finding good information IMO.

I also love the ability to prioritize domains.

I push docs.rs up because otherwise I often get the crates.io page which I never want.

And I push GitHub/GitLab/Codeberg sites up so I get actual repos instead of product pages.

You can also duplicate RFIDs with like a $5 scanner from Amazon (which is probably overpriced).

This will probably get buried but here’s my shot at a feature or extension request:

The Daily Note.

It’s the only extension I use in Obsidian. I love opening my phone (or on desktop on any platform) and automatically getting a templated note with some of my daily ToDos as a checklist: stretching, exercises, language practice, etc. With a space for adding that day’s one-off ToDos ad priorities.

It’s the sole reason I use Obsidian over anything else - and happily pay for the sync service.

The common issue with PDFs is that e-readers generally have terrible support for them.

The actual cost is shrinkage from general human accounting mistakes and all the extra time it takes to manage.

I worked at the gym in college and we sold like one item a day and it was still a whole bunch of work and pain to keep up on the cash counts correct.

I definitely believe that all businesses should take cash as much as is reasonable, but logistically it is understandable why some choose not to

It would be nice to get a backlight and no touchscreen.

Some mixed reports on this, but supposedly they are only putting an (easily-bypassed) firmware on the devices sold to the Chinese domestic market.

You could say this about endless devices. Ricoh GR: Why buy this camera that fits in your pocket when a bigger more expensive one with more features that doesn’t fit in your pocket exists?

Well because people like it better!

CrossInk is much more popular than this fork AFAICT from the Reddit discussions.

You can literally plug the Better Auth libraries into a little Node server and run it as a separate auth server for free, forever, same as if you used a Django or Rails deployment for that purpose.

That’s all it takes to not use their cloud at all.
