You thinking like Good Looking Records stuff like Artemis? Love it.

Are you writing the solutions / compiling / running all with Emacs? I wanted to try Swift this year as well but feels sort of silly spinning up XCode for this.

I was doing it daily for a while. For some reason the acquisition news made me stop, or maybe it was just the timing. Maybe it's time to get back into the zone.

Between this, Elden Ring, and my rediscovery of FFXIV, I now firmly believe there's a global conspiracy to stop me from doing a single minute of work.

Another pro-therapy comment. CBT saved my life after I "discovered" I have OCD in college. Such a scary feeling to not understand the cause of my thoughts and behaviors. Using one's own knowledge as a toolset for self-improvement could work sometimes, but I don't consider therapy an "alternative" to that.

As an aside, therapy and psychiatry is expensive partly because insurance doesn't cover things that don't definitively 'treat' or 'cure' a diagnosed illness. Maybe times are changing, but my holistic psychiatrist explained this to me years ago. Psychiatry is more often covered, but psychology almost never. This is also why a search for 'in-network' therapists often leads you to pill-pusher types.

Ooh another good find. Like I mentioned above Clementine doesn't open at all for me, so maybe this is worth a shot.

I was excited by Clementine but it doesn't even open for me on this version of OS X unfortunately.

Finally a chance to remind a captive music-piracy-nostalgic audience that Soulseek is still alive and well!

THANK YOU for this recommendation. I've been trying numerous iTunes/"Music" alternatives but none have stuck, or their price point doesn't make sense for the offering. This looks perfect!

I'll be honest. I really like projects like these (Spacemacs is another one that comes to mind), I've been a Vim user for a decade or so. Now I use IntelliJ since I primarily work with Spring, but for other side projects or one-off tasks these setups are really cool.

That being said, if this is intended to be widely adopted/viewed like Spacemacs, the marketing and presentation need a bit of work. Between the 'Chad' signifier and the screenshots sharing a color scheme with a tricked-out desktop and other terminal tabs, it's hard to tell if this is a serious standalone project or, to be frank, someone just showing off.

This is great for people who really want to hone their bird ID skills. Just plugging this for beginners to the hobby: Merlin by Cornell is great for easy bird ID, audio now included. https://merlin.allaboutbirds.org/

I honestly can't believe all the praise for HTML and web on HN in the face of this awesome critique. I hugely appreciate the love for actual files.

• PDFs are decentralised. You may have obtained this PDF from a website, or maybe not! Self-contained static files are liberating! They stand alone and are not dependent on being hosted by any particular web server or under any particular domain. You can publish to one host or to a thousand hosts or to none, and it maintains its identity through content-addressing, not through the blessing of a distributor.

This seems to have gotten lost in the offense everyone has taken over the choice to not use 'simple HTML', despite the document's clear reasoning that to do even that would embed the content deep in the 'urban web'. All of these simple-complex propositions about making some subset language or automating document flows are missing the point entirely.

Oh for sure, and to clarify I'm not against the design changes! Tab groups are the logical next step in organizing thoughts-as-tabs and Firefox is sorely lacking in this capability in 2021.

The author links out to a writeup on Safari 15 which I found interesting: https://morrick.me/archives/9368

One of the main bizarre design choices was making the address bar shrink as you add more tabs. It made me wonder if these designs reflect the diminution of sites visited in a modern internet user's session. Seems like we are moving from a mode of research-and-explore to residing in one of a few home bases (reddit, twitter, etc) and everything else is reached via Google search -> first result. Since information delivery is now so heavily tailored to a person's filter bubble, there's not as much need to stray. I'd love to read more about something like this.

It's a customized Android OS and firmware. Not sure how much more is okay to divulge.

Apple actually doesn’t expose this via any iOS APIs. Not 100% sure about Android.

Think they're referring to one of the top 5 comments on any Show HN post being about how it doesn't work in mobile Safari or Firefox etc.

I was seeing a CBT therapist for severe OCD at the time I was diagnosed with this. Unfortunately there isn’t really a specific therapy targeting DPDR like OCD, but anxiety reduction does help overall.

I haven't seen this, but as someone who's had DPDR for the better half of a decade, I don't think this article frames it 100% properly (which, to be fair, is harder with this than, say, general anxiety).

Yes, fear does come up during derealization experiences, but the difference is there's no grounded "you" experiencing this fear, more that the fear comes as "the experiencer" reconciling the reality one experiences with a new and disconcerting distance. This reads more like a profile of Pure-O OCD (they're comorbid so I got the two-for-one), where there is somewhat logical rumination about a specific fear.

I've never really had a DPDR experience where I was questioning my own free will. To me the external world at the time is best described as seeming aggressively real to the point it seems false, objects indistinct from others, bereft of any intent or memory. You feel like you've lost some foundational understanding of the world that has been instilled in you forever.

Nah I wish it were my site because that bugs me too :) "Start here" up top works, though.

If you're concerned about this for yourself I highly recommend looking into NoSurf (https://nosurf.org/) to read about the effects on attention span and mindfulness caused by humanity's most powerful means of easy distraction, the net.

This reminds me of apps published by ShaoKan Pi. Particularly, SleepTown.

https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/sleeptown/id1210251567?mt=8

Can't wait to try it on iOS because I love idle-growth apps like this. Might be worth looking into how Sleeptown/Forest implement features you're interested in.

We use Bugsnag for crashes, and Fabric for general usage analytics and adoption rates. Fabric also includes Crashlytics but Bugsnag has a better direct React Native integration. This includes source map support, version grouping, and issue assignment.

Most of these patterns are eventually implemented in a production redux-saga application (at least in my experience, with React Native). Things like eventChannels are fairly similar, if not abstracted away a bit

It's funny, I set out to learn Erlang this year, but ended up learning Elixir first. A lot of people go to great lengths to assure that Elixir is not the "CoffeeScript of Erlang" (which I do understand refers to more than just syntax improvements), but I found the opposite. After getting used to Elixir syntax, Erlang seems aesthetically much more elegant.

I used aui for my recent arch install, and it's helpful for things you might forget (like installing wpa_supplicant, wouldn't have bought an ethernet cable for my very first install...).

I'd recommend figuring out the steps in the FIFO section yourself, as it is largely dependent on how you partition your system, and one would benefit from learning about things like mkinitcpio.

taskwarrior and taskwarrior-vim so I can keep tasks in the same terminal as work.

ghi to keep track of github issues

mutt for email, with notmuch for searching/indexing

ynab via wine for budgeting, though I'm not the best at keeping up with that : )

other than that I have a moleskine that I fill with random things related to that day/week/month, inspired somewhat by bullet journal
