dundercoder··on 1Password for Linux beta
Excellent! 1Password has been my weapon of choice for years. Works flawlessly on macOS, previously got by with the browser extension in linux.
dundercoder··on How Normal Am I?
Accuracy side, I thought the presentation was excellent! I really like the explanation playing while the analysis is taking place. I’m totally going to steal this presentation idea.
dundercoder··on Dual-flush toilets 'wasting more water than they save'
I used to work for a chemical plant that made their own detergent. sodium tripolyphosphate is where it’s at for clean dishes.
dundercoder··on They're deleting my channel, but they don't know why? [video]
No, the rest was fine. My channel was all original music that I own the rights to. No clue why.
dundercoder··on They're deleting my channel, but they don't know why? [video]
This is not atypical for YouTube. I had a full on paid gsuite account and when they lost my channel there was “nothing we can do”. I had the video backed up, but lost all the links, views, and subscribers.
dundercoder··on Mothers are forced to choose between keeping their jobs and children education
That’s a very astute observation. I honestly never quite looked at it that way. I love my kids and am so grateful to be able to provide for them. I can’t imagine trying to do it on my own, or if my wife had a full time job. It would be impossible, or nearly.
dundercoder··on A neighbor asked for a tomato. This is where the story gets weird
That was unexpected, and unfortunate.
dundercoder··on U.S. bans WeChat, TikTok, citing national security reasons
Winamp really did whip the llamas ass.
dundercoder··on Update on Firefox Send and Firefox Notes
Boy that list brings back memories. Front page, bob, zune...
dundercoder··on We Don’t Like Our Underground House
Does anyone know how the outer shell of underground missile silo bunkers is constructed? Those go very far underground and presumably would be impermeable.
dundercoder··on We Don’t Like Our Underground House
RethinkDB in 2015.
dundercoder··on Hard to discover tips and apps for macOS
FWIW iStat menus has been working flawlessly for me for months.
dundercoder··on The older you are, the quicker you count out a minute
I’ve been a musician for 20 years and I still rush a beat if I’m not careful.
dundercoder··on The world of cheap produce and its consequences
> that kale tastes fine with dressing.

I'm going to have to strongly disagree with you here. I've eaten kale raw, cooked, dressed, spiced, dehydrated, blended, and it still tastes foul. YMMV

dundercoder··on Apple is facing rage from developers over the commission on the App Store
Maybe he tossed out a number he feels comfortable paying in taxes. I worked a bunch of overtime last year as a favor and ended up getting bumped into the ~30% tax bracket for income. I’m feeling pretty ragey about it myself.
dundercoder··on How I Make Yogurt (2019)
What is your method? I’m a champ at making yogurt, but my first foray into kefir went horribly wrong.
dundercoder··on How I Make Yogurt (2019)
My method is very similar, but I find even just a tablespoon of yogurt from the previous batch is enough to inoculate 1 gallon.

We also drain off a good portion of the whey using a nut bag to make Greek yogurt. The leftover whey we put in smoothies.

I LOVE being able to control how much sugar is in it, and it’s way cheaper than buying individual packs. All in it costs us right around $2.50 for a gallon of yogurt at home.

dundercoder··on Procrastination is driven by our desire to avoid difficult emotions, says expert
Honestly, I expect most are in this same boat. Humans are very complex at best, and the outside perspective a therapist can offer is hard to overestimate.
dundercoder··on Google Domains blocking all Gitbook URLS: post-mortem
This mirrors my experience with google support, even as a paying gsuite customer. I lost a YouTube channel and wasn’t given any option to restore it. Their advice was to just re upload all the content and forget about view counts and old links that would no longer work.
dundercoder··on Room 641A
Looks like rivets are holding a panic bar or stronger bar.
dundercoder··on GitHub is experimenting with personal READMEs
IMO - People are already viewing your github profile and making judgments, might as well be able to personalize what they see.
dundercoder··on Ask HN: What companies were as glorified as FAANG in history?
Probably Sears Roebuck, Macy's, Ford for a few.
dundercoder··on Whale fall
Iambic?
dundercoder··on Ask HN: I'm a software engineer going blind, how should I prepare?
I have two mutations on USH2A. It would be spectacular if someone could repair the whole gene.
dundercoder··on Ask HN: I'm a software engineer going blind, how should I prepare?
Because I honestly think that most discrimination is unconscious. Many people conducting interviews have never met a legally blind person and it can make them uncomfortable. Generally, I have found people don’t hire others who make them uncomfortable, or at the least, would put other candidates ahead of them.

Once hired and able to demonstrate ability, people are less likely to let that initial uncomfortableness get the better of them.

dundercoder··on Ask HN: I'm a software engineer going blind, how should I prepare?
I have just the visual component of Ushers, I’ve got about 5 degrees left of my visual field. I never really did front end work, but I still regularly do back end, and project management.

I haven’t moved to non visual coding yet. Instead I have optimized for the vision I have left. I have a very bright monitor, very bright lights in my office (overhead) and have learned to make a place for everything, and always put things back in their place.

Never underestimate the amount of time you can lose from looking for something that is only slightly out of place. Be it a pen, your glasses, or a USB stick.

So long as you are able, don’t disclose your impairment to anyone in an employment situation during the interviewing or new hire phase. Discrimination is awful and frustrating and illegal, but it is still the norm and it’s easiest to just avoid it if you can.

dundercoder··on OBS Studio: Open-source software for video recording and live streaming
I too am looking for a virtual cam. Have been for a long time.
dundercoder··on An Intuitive Guide to Linear Algebra (2012)
Does something like this exist for differential equations?
dundercoder··on Learning Synths
Are you targeting a specific genre or is this all around composition? After pro tools blew up with Catalina I’m fed up and am looking for a replacement daw.
