Yes. I have a bike helmet with integrated cameras. The company (Cyclevision) that made it is gone. So no Apple account. So no app for my helmet anymore.

They should have preserved existing behaviour for existing users and implemented this as a default only for new installs.

Yep, my sister makes fun of me that her mere presence makes me more productive. (when I shared an apartment with her in my early thirties) she'd sit in my room just chatting to me and I would tidy and clean without her doing anything, whereas I'd been meaning to do that for months.

I suggested the idea of a responsiblabuddy website today to my wife – if we're both in the same town I'd commit to coming to your house on Saturday and you'd commit to coming to mine on Sunday and I'd finally tidy my shed / weld those batteries / list those items on fb marketplace etc. Then I realised I'd need a responsabilabuddy to get me to start and finish the website!

There was a guy running a co-working space in Dublin (Ireland) who would open it up on the occasional Sunday for "Sideproject Sundays" which I found great for focus.

Edit: there are no search results for "responsiblabuddy", I know I didn't come up with that term

I bought a book on Amazon recently and when it got delivered, I was too lazy to get off the couch to get it and I just downloaded it. Now I have the physical book and a copy that's convenient to open/reference whenever and wherever I am.

Thanks, I thought I was getting forgetful!

I found the article lacking the context of the total electricity generation. Is this 1%, 10%?

I read that years ago. The punchline doesn't work without an American accent!

* Composer is one file. It's a .phar (as described by @az09mugen)

* I think in typical use, Composer is installing via Packagist.org, which is typically pointed at a GitHub repo, and it is the repo's zip file that is downloaded to your computer. You can look in composer.lock and see `"type": "zip"` throughout

* It definitely has some sort of hash verification in the PostFileDownloadEvent class. I've never used it to know if it would satisfy your need

Similarly, WP CLI is a .phar file which can then install additional packages. It's really just using Composer under the hood.

I think you're looking for Home Assistant:

You've described the setup instructions for Composer. Which once Composer is installed, it can be used to install packages globally.

IIRC, Rap Genius sought and got investment for this idea but then later retracted back to just music lyrics.

Let me recommend my favourite TikTok/YouTube channel of late, The Forest Jar

if you went to a group of investors and pitched a board game where the winners get space ships and the losers die, they'd call you crazy. But if you suggested to those same investors that perhaps we shouldn't organize our entire society that way, they'd call you crazy.

'Suicide Tuesday’ is a term that is sometimes used to describe the negative aftereffects that users may experience following an episode of ecstasy use

I live in California and when I try buy shower heads on Amazon I often get

This item cannot be shipped to your selected delivery location. Please choose a different delivery location.

so there is an angle there – ship interstate and ignore California laws.

It is/was a tool for editing .msi installers for Windows.

Interesting. I get ads on TikTok for a drink with Lion's Mane in it:

And I recently bought protein bars (from an ad on TikTok) which turned out to have Lion's Mane:

I learned recently the "OHIO method" – Only Handle It Once.

If something is easy to deal with right now, just deal with it immediately.

For me, it's been dishes, trash, and organising (e.g. keys not in the key-bowl; cables not in the cable drawer) where it's helped most. I'd say it's a 30% improvement, which doesn't necessarily sound great, but it's all about things that require almost zero effort.

I'll take a look into your reference soon!

About 15 years ago, I knew an online store that was closed on Sundays.

Original report:

Yes, fewer pedestrians died on America's roads last year than in 2022. But was it because we saved their lives, or because fewer people dared to walk, or both?

Here's a simple kit where you 3D print the mouse and assemble it. Maybe too simple for what you're looking for, but nice and tangible:

That's a bit of an odd response. I just spent the weekend in Yosemite (I took Amtrak). I live in Sacramento, by the river.

Car ownership is objectively, measurably bad. Are you pretending it's not?

When I did the research: Aranet4

I bought one for myself, fine, then two for my siblings. The two I bought them always measured about 100 apart, when right beside each other.

To say – use the measurements as a comparison of what you know.

I really wish I could program my dishwasher because it's not cleaning very well and if I could add an extra rinse cycle I think it would be fine.

Swift is really nice to write. I wish I were paid to use it! I spent this weekend toying with embedded Swift. I work day to day with PHP and recent versions have introduced some language features that make it much nicer than it used to be (constructor property promotion, readonly properties) but I try to keep a rule of no PHP at the weekend.

Cycling is a joy.

When I experience / see people diss cyclists, I'm sad for them. It implies they cannot empathise with others (me). My physical and mental health are better thanks to cycling.

AIUI, the companies are required to collect that data but are not allowed to use it as part of the hiring process.

Did you experience totality?

I saw the 2017 eclipse and found it was way better than I expected.

I just looked it up and it's available for me in Sacramento for $225/month
