jmlim00··on Germany transforms former coal mines into Europe's largest lake landscape
I recently went swimming in one of these submerged mines/quarries in North America. This one flooded during a severe hurricane: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portland_Brownstone_Quarries
jmlim00··on Show HN: Generate Passwords from Regex Constraints
Nice, wonder if this can integrated into password managers!
jmlim00··on I tracked Amazon's Prime Day prices. We've been played
I’ve heard that if you use the convenience store’s app, you can just take one and“save” the extra item for free pickup at a later time. Never verified it myself though.
jmlim00··on Leaving Gmail for Mailbox.org
Was about to mention magic earth, but of course someone else has recommended it already. Was talking with a coworker about degoogling and they brought up this. Surprisingly works good enough where I live.
jmlim00··on I want an iPhone Mini-sized Android phone (2022)
Yeah, I'll hold on to it until I lose the pay as well. I was looking at either pixel 8a or 9a for my next phone. Like you said with pixel 9, I assume it would be a big leap with both of these phones. But at least with 9a I won't have the camera bump problem so that's hopeful.
jmlim00··on I want an iPhone Mini-sized Android phone (2022)
Terrifying. I opened this thread to leave the same comment that Google pay is working for me on my pixel 5. I bought it second handed and replaced battery so I didn't spend too much money on it, but it would be a real shame when that rollout reaches me. Especially because I also quite enjoy the size and functionality. It's enough for everything I need to do on a phone..

Back in school, after taking an intro to programming language course as an elective, I've been struggling to understand the missing link between knowing a programming language and writing a program. This book bridged that gap, and everything finally clicked. I'll definitely be checking out the new content as well. Thanks for changing my life!

One in Cambridge also happens to be next to the Trader Joe's. I'm starting to see a pattern here..

That's what I thought too.
jmlim00··on Giant Tonga Volcanic Eruption Could Disrupt Weather for Years to Come
Was expecting some good news from this article exactly. Bummer.
jmlim00··on Building an e-ink picture frame that displays an iCloud photo album
You are absolutely correct. When I built my eink display calendar, I sourced picture frame for $2 at a local Goodwill store.
jmlim00··on Twitch can no longer afford to stay in South Korea
What I have heard was Afreeca makes use of distributed computing so that resources are shared directly between users rather than everything getting downloaded from their servers. This apparently cuts down on the amount of traffic load.
jmlim00··on Today I learned you can pause the Windows Task Manager moving apps around
Neat, but then I need to move my right hand off of the mouse. My go to is Alt + E
