The last I checked, I was surprised how often people recommended Thunderbird to convert between email formats. Sometimes a manual process (where the human is the glue between systems) is “best”. Good luck. Curious what others recommend.

In my browser (Safari on iOS 17, the second instruction was cut off by the email registration form field. You may need to move the instruction text higher.)

I’m unsure how this benefits me. Do I get a cut of the crowdsourced money?

How is the future video related to my video?

I’d love to hear about what you consider as powerful.

Notifications across all active SSH sessions?

Ability to “temporarily extend” the work or break session, and adjust future sessions?

Integrate with focusmate, or other co-working apps?

It seems like I need a room code to use it. No description, no about. Perhaps some help is needed.

Eegads, that is so fast. I’d love to browse the web like this.

Well-written article discussing Andreesen’s bullish optimistic view of technology and progress, and contrasting thoughts.

Yawn. “ Fishtank is a streamer house monitored 24/7 & broadcasted live to the world. All bedrooms have cameras, common spaces are monitored via video and audio surveillance. When the lights go out, the IR comes on.”

Really digging your insights. Do you have a blog or newsletter? I’d love to ask you to present to Product Managers at our org. Would you get in touch? @charlesw on twitter.

Excited to see more articles about the relationship between men. I’d love to hear if there are any books others have found on this topic. I found “UnF@ck your relationships” was a bit simplistic.

“ By February 2007, the CEO of Go Daddy reported that of 55.1 million domain names registered, 51.5 million were canceled and refunded just before the 5 day grace period expired.”

Wow, I had no clue the majority of domain purchases were cancelled. Amazing, thanks @olalonde!

Excellent write-up. Long-form content about the art scene in NY

Application error An error occurred in the application and your page could not be served. If you are the application owner, check your logs for details. You can do this from the Heroku CLI with the command heroku logs --tail

Yes. To help me find the most important things. To put things into the right place for finding later. Maybe.

Good quote: “ In previous projects, I had to use a lot of sophisticated marketing techniques to gain traction.

But currently, there's lots of demand for podcast hosting; we can barely keep up. It's like we've been dropped in a rushing river, and our job is to paddle as hard as we can. It's a totally different feeling.

The momentum in your market matters!”

Also, interesting talk about thinking which customers you want to serve: https://youtu.be/TnWo6ex1C4E

I’d love to find a way to quickly prioritize stories in the backlog- tab to highlight the next story, “5” to rate it as medium priority, tab to move to the next one…

I’d also love to find a way to see recent comments on stories directed toward me- and then a way to respond. I can search through all Jira tickets that @-mention me, but there doesn’t seem to be a way to clear the comment from my list as soon as I reply.

I enjoyed this TED talk from Michael Bungay Stanier about giving advice. It isn’t exactly what you are looking for, but it focuses on how important it is to listen to people: https://www.ted.com/talks/michael_bungay_stanier_how_to_tame...

I found some success monitoring my connection with a docket install that plotted results on localhost. I can’t remember which one, but “Internet speed test” has many similar projects: https://github.com/topics/internet-speed

When I was trying to convince my employer to let me work remotely, I was surprised to find there are reasonably priced dual-wan switches with failover.

Combine a dual wan / failover device with two different internet services, and for $120 a month you probably will rarely have timeouts. Around here, cable costs about $65 for 600MBps, and DSL is about $40.

I don’t know about you, but I’ve found my technical abilities rarely accomplish what I want when I’m trying to move a mountain. In this case, one internet user’s lag isn’t worth much trouble.

I’ll counter myself with an anecdote: I had the same connectivity issues as you- sudden dropouts for a minute, then back up.

I tried multiple cable modems, multiple Wi-Fi routers. After calling and asking for help, 2 days later techs arrived. The culprit?

The CATV line coming to my property was incorrectly installed, supposedly letting part of the liquid in the cable deep into the coupler. (Hey, the tech said it- not me!)

And now the internet is up!

Feels like an ad for the software they explain- Ditto- but there are some good ideas here about use cases where internet connectivity isn’t available.

“…you work in a factory, in an airline, at a live event, a restaurant or any similar situation, you don’t have that same technology at your fingertips [as a stationary worker]. I boil all these applications and use cases down to giving frontline workers the tools that we take for granted when sitting at a desk,” Fish said.

One of the earliest adopters of Ditto has been airlines like JAL and Lufthansa, who have integrated Ditto tech into their customer applications and back-end software. Flight attendants can see via a Ditto-enabled app when a passenger has ordered a drink or meal, where they’re sitting, and immediately updates all Ditto-enabled devices to reflect that a passenger ordered whatever they chose.”

This may seem simplistic and very centrally controlled…but a large spreadsheet showing the taxonomy of an app, was very helpful.

Our team could “peek” into the taxonomy for other team’s apps. This helped engineers on our team get a feel for how other teams understood events. (How did they describe “action”, category, etc?)

One key thing that helped was having an initiative to help explain why we track, with a team that volunteered to present and explain how best to implement it.

This was at a Fortune 500 company, with lots of legacy software, so perhaps a smaller team with a younger app could get by with just a taxonomy and not a evangelistic analytics team.

Good luck!

Lots of options out there. I’ve found the iOS focus option helpful, as well as groups with fellow ADHDers. Counseling, meds, meetup groups. All the boring, standard stuff.

I cut off the device-specific side and use them for hard-wired 5v power circuitry projects.

Sometimes, I cut off both connectors, and pull out the wires inside to use for wiring circuits.

I plan to combine a Micro-USB B connector and a full size USB-B cable to make a soldered-together usb OTG cable to connect my 3d printer to an android device.

Other options. Donate them to schools or hacker spaces. Bring them to recyclers. (Or, if you have lots of free time, strip off the PVC to expose the bare copper to make it easier for them to recycle.)

“ With Brisk we sync your development folder and massively parallelize your tests and run them on our servers in real-time, pre-commit. So you can run your tests in seconds not hours.”

It depends on your goal, and how you define your target readers.

I assume your goal would be to post an article you wrote here and achieve some level of engagement (as you noted dev.to is blocked).

So, if you are planning to post on HN, the problem I assume you are trying to solve is finding an online url that carries some credibility in order to not turn off potential engagement.

Looking at https://hntrending.com/ and clicking “domains”, filtering to last week, I was surprised to see that 90% of the domains were well-known (GitHub, twitter, WhatsApp.com). Scrolling to less popular domains, we start to see some substack links and then I saw “interestingengineering.com”

Maybe I’m just a sucker for a good domain, but I would probably click a link to Christine.website or Christine.IO instead of christine.blogger.com.

Also, if a link isn’t to Bloomberg.com or nasa.gov, I’m going to assume the article is from someone’s personal, less journalistic-oriented position. So, an interesting domain like buildruntest.site or improving.code adds to my perception that I may hear an interesting perspective that isn’t covered in the news.

I recently switched companies, and having an interesting domain with some content on it was helpful to show employers. When I was hired at Apple, my manager noted he had glanced at my twitter feed and seemed to believe I was clued into the space I was hired for.

I assume you aren’t seeking monetization. The amount of work and advertising required to reach traffic needed for that level can be pretty massive (differing by topic, of course).

A lot has been said about writing as a way to self-reflect and also improve internal thought. So, if your goal is self-reflection or practicing the craft of writing, the “where” doesn’t matter as much.

One last thing: I was surprised at getting SOME engagement on a youtube video I posted about a server issue I figured out (HP DL360). I rarely ever post on youtube and haven’t blogged frequently in years…but I regularly get 100+ views each month. So, with all the talk about algorithms rarely helping small-fry content creators…perhaps my anecdote can encourage you that someone, somewhere may find value from what you post.

Let us know what you decide!

I enjoyed the post about cloudflare.

Adding another perspective: the important aspects of domain registrars changes depending on what you plan to use them for.

You noted a specific kind of dns record, and also security.

For dns records, you aren’t locked to a domain registrar. DNS records are offered by which nameserver you choose. (I apologize for being pedantic, but once you realize you can register their domain one place, and then serve dns records from another place…things get much easier.)

Another thing to consider are domain disputes and privacy. You didn’t mention either, but they (can be) serious considerations.

I’ve really appreciated www.tld-list.com to help identify which registrars offer the best value- including whois privacy.

Regarding domain disputes, you might want to look into different hosts to see how they are handled. There isn’t (or does not seem to be) a specific standard regarding what is required to dispute a domain. We’ve all heard horror stories of a domain suddenly switching ownership due to a mysterious fax to the registrar.

I appreciate www.namesilo.com because they don’t fluctuate on their .com prices, have reasonable renewal fees, and offer Whois privacy for free (when possible). I have 20+ domains with them, so that should give you some perspective of how little I know. ;) My affiliate link: https://www.namesilo.com/register.php?rid=e1d6e83hi

One last comment: if your current issue is a dns record, then I’d recommend changing your nameserver to cloudflare or some other dns provider. This way, you don’t have to transfer your domain to a new registrar (which can be a hassle). Instead, you just change the nameserver record in your domain’s hover.com settings.

Hope you figure it out!

We shared this with each other in college- back in 1998. Tons of fun!

“ Giddings also said she shared the link to the post that revealed the young woman’s identity because she felt it was the only article that showed “both sides of the story” and that she wanted to support “due process” for von Ehlinger.”

“ There is no victim,” Giddings, R-White Bird, declared to the committee. “There were no charges and there still are no charges to this day, is what I’m aware of.” She contended that the state’s constitutional protections for crime victims are therefore “irrelevant” to her case”.

I had to “restart” my social circle similar to @jameshush when I moved states, and again when I moved to Cupertino. In addition to the suggestions mentioned: -Hiking / Tennis / Racquetball partners. People are frequently looking for these partners, and sports offer an easy way to get to know someone in person, then ask if they want to hang out. -Volunteering- I found most of my recent friends while volunteering at religious events.
