Which one did you get?

I also bought the 360 and I love it! Haven't once thought about going back to the Kinesis Advantage I was using before it. I went with the wired / non-pro version since I've had too many bluetooth issues with peripherals to trust that it wasn't going to be an issue. Sure enough, I asked on the subreddit and some others have reported connection issues or flakiness.

The only issue I've had with it is that sometimes my laptop doesn't receive any input so I have to unplug the keyboard and plug it back in. This could just be due to my setup and unrelated to the keyboard, but I didn't have that issue before.

The magnetic snap-on wrist pads are really nice. They snap perfectly into place and haven't moved unless I want them to. The keyboard overall feels solid and ergonomic

It's worth it. I switch often between standing and sitting with most of my time sitting. I have one from autonomous AI. If you get a hand crank one, depending on the type of person you are, there's a good chance you'll actually switch between sit and stand all too often. Standing for long periods of time isn't great either, best is to just switch positions often.

You could also consider shadow banning these users. If you're immediately preventing them from creating accounts with certain usernames, they'll probably just get more creative with the profanity or save it for their posts.

Hadn't heard of GlitchTip, but will look into it. Thanks!

Thank you for elaborating, this is useful :)

Are you paying for Sentry? What type of monitoring does it provide? I'm working on a project I'd like to add some monitoring so I'm on the lookout for a good solution. Looking for something free though until there's a need to have better insight than I can get without paying for it

As a serial hobbyist and jack of all trades, I can relate. There's always a million things I want to do and little time to ever do them. I often find myself jumping into whatever thing interests me the most in a given moment, usually meaning I spend a lot of time chasing the novelty of a new interest rather than pushing through the next level of an existing one.

In the course "Time Management for Mortals" by Oliver Burkeman, he asks "What AREN'T you going to do with your life?". You're going to die someday and you only have a limited amount of time before that happens. The trick isn't finding out how to fit all the things you want to do into your life, it's realizing that not everything fits and deciding which of the things you want to do aren't going to make the cut.

That question and the associated lesson have helped me focus more on my core set of interests rather than frequently investing time into new or lower priority ones. Maybe that could help you as well. Don't just ask yourself whether you want to learn something, but ask if it's something you want to learn badly enough that you're OK with it taking the place of anything else you could be doing with your time

Oh I think will reach out about purchasing some furniture actually! I've had an idea in mind I'm hoping you'll be able to help with. It's a combo dresser / RSS client that could hold not only all my clothes but also any recent updates to my subscriptions

It'll be difficult for anyone to answer this without you elaborating on why you'd want to learn web design in the first place. Is it out of interest in understanding the principles of web design and being able to produce your own designs? Is it a means to an end - you don't really care much about web design but are interested in building websites and don't want them to look bad?

One thing I came across while looking into c02 and ventilation was the recommendation to sleep with the door closed but window open for fire safety concerns: https://fsri.org/programs/close-before-you-doze. Something else to consider when settling on a setup

I can't edit the initial comment anymore, but another big thing for me was having an eye mask that was comfortable enough to sleep in. The MZOO brand on Amazon has been perfect for me: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07KC5DWCC/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b...

That sounds pretty high! Have you made any changes or do you still have it hit 1600 while you're sleeping? I was never able to find a good source for what levels to target, but I did come across this study [1] which claims to have measured a difference in cognitive function the next day for people who slept with avg c02 levels at 835 ppm vs the group at 660 ppm. I don't have the background to judge the legitimacy of the study, so it could be bogus for all I know. But keeping the window has been enough for me to keep the levels below 800 so I've tried kept that as the limit

[1] https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26452168/

Yeah they're single use but they work really well and I didn't come across any similarly effective alternatives.

Thank you for sharing! Skimmed for now, but saving this to read later.

I've had a history as well of never getting good sleep so I'm curious to see what your experience was and the steps you've taken. A few things I've done that have helped a bunch:

- Using BreatheRight nasal strips every night

- Latex earplugs ("Mack's Pillow Soft Silicone Earplugs"). I could never sleep with foam earplugs in my ears but these are great

- Sleeping with a noise machine

- Getting a basic alarm clock so I can leave my phone outside the room

- Getting a c02 monitor

A ctrl+f on the page didn't show any c02 mentions, so I'll just say it's something I think is worth looking into for anyone having sleep trouble. My understanding from when I was looking at one to buy was there were different kind of sensors and the ones in the cheaper monitors were unreliable. I ended up getting this one [1] for $250 with the intention of returning it after getting a sense of where the levels would get to but ended up keeping it. For anyone who thinks it's at all possible to be a factor for them, I recommend getting that monitor with the plan being to just return it if you don't see anything surprising.

Thank you, that's a good suggestion. Tmux is on my short list of things to get more comfortable with. Setting up convenient access to the logs before I need it is a good one too

Surprised not to see Render.com listed under option 4 despite that being an option discussed often here with comparable simplicity of deployment to Heroku

I haven't used it before but Firebase/Supabase is probably the way to go if you just need to save and load data from the frontend. Fireship is an entertaining and instructive channel with some videos on it:

edit: to clarify, you don't need a server at all for what you're doing, just a database with an API, which (as I understand it) is what Firebase and Supabase offer. Firebase in 100 seconds by the Fireship channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vAoB4VbhRzM

Nice work! What are you using for the text editor? For my own project, I'd initially gone with Slate but ended up migrating over to ProseMirror

So many unnecessarily negative comments.. I enjoyed this, thank you for making it

+1 for monitor arm. Regret not getting one sooner!

Karabiner has already been mentioned here but I'll add that goku (https://github.com/yqrashawn/GokuRakuJoudo) is THE way to setup Karabiner and it can be hard to overcome the extremely verbose and unergonomic default json config of Karabiner otherwise. Goku also makes it trivial to add shortcuts which are activated by quickly pressing one key while another is held. I use this for the kind of launch mode described in the OP. eg. w + e = editor (Intellij), w + r = chrome, w + f = firefox.. The drawback to these shortcuts is that they can unintentionally be activated when regularly typing since we don't always release a key before pressing the next. That's only happened seldomly for me though since "w" isn't a frequently used letter and I've set the shortcut activation window pretty low so the w + <key> key has to be pressed essentially immediately after w.

Similarly, I use q + w for previous tab, q + e for next tab, and s+d to open the clipboard history from Alfred

I set Signal as my default messaging app until I was texted while my phone was off and the messages never showed up later. Could certainly have been a problem with my mobile service provider (Xfinity Mobile), but it's not an issue I've ever had before and seemed like an especially unsurprising result of using something other than the default messaging app. Curious if anyone else has had a similar experience

I do not unfortunately

I don't disagree, just haven't done the best job historically of taking care of plants

One thing to consider would be ways of archiving the pages you've already visited such as with tools like Yacy and ArchiveBox. The comment thread and associated post here have good info: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31848566. I was curious about looking into this to get full text search for my own browsing history, though other people take this a lot further and attempt to archive all the content they come across and find useful

Do it!! Ignore any other opinions here and start using Kotlin. The language is fantastic and I've rarely used a technology that I've had so few complaints about

JavaScript or Typescript with Deno is another option. I haven't tried it myself yet but Deno has a "compile" command to build an app into a single executable

Kotlin/Java could also be used. Also haven't tried this, but it seems like it's become easy to bundle a JRE with a java app to create a single executable https://www.reddit.com/r/java/comments/86l45p/how_do_people_...

Yes
