But still working on getting back into the habit. After burnout writing for someone else, it’s taken quite a while to want to write _anything_.

Very much hoping for some alternative services functionality — would love this in my shop. Cheers for an incredible idea!

Maybe it’s impossible to say "I don’t care about this anymore and you should find something else" for a few different reasons: the recurring subs would dry up; he doesn’t want to admit it. OR: he’s been working on pinboard v2 for a couple years and wants to drive people WILD with a sudden drop.

I was an early adopter, though, and I bought in because I perceived the whole point to be "you can have a sustainable, better product than something that gets gobbled up by a megacorp."

Oddly enough, selective history deleting is absolutely awful in Safari (16.*?) as well.

Congratulations! Super cool. One of the first applications I was blown away by, for many different reasons, was OmniDictionary <https://web.archive.org/web/20050310043334/http://www.omnigr...>. It was something that I couldn't imagine existing, but did, and it was one of the first apps the company I worked for at the time had created. (It relied on a server!? This was an ENTIRE app?)

It used a DICT server for lookups: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DICT

And 14 years ago, some servers still existed. They're hard to find now.

It always struck me as something fantastic to a) learn how to interface with a server b) learn cocoa/objective-c/etc c) redesign a simple app (https://www.omnigroup.com/assets/img/app/graffle-7/mac/full-...). Something you've just described in detail. Well, most of it.

Too much traffic — all endpoints once on the page are erroring out.

Yes, both — writing something with chalk on slate.

Exactly that.

One-off comment, but the new band has really improved HR detection for me. I went from the rubber strap (with holes every centimeter or so) to the adjustable velcro strap and it's night & day. It went from being 100% useless on runs to _actually_ keeping accurate detection the entire run.

This is amazing. Was planning on doing a run tracker, similar to this, via twitter. Thanks!

Hold the option key for older behavior.

This is the only thing I've found, thus far: https://twitter.com/textfiles/statuses/137387291617394688

Awesome & fast. Just a thought: selected text is auto-added to body?

Anyway, thanks!

He was talking about "speech or handwriting recognition, recommendation engines, or natural-language processing".

He got the custom MVC framework for free — they built it for Tumblr, IIRC.

Yorufukurou is a pretty-awesomely updated application. Lot of features, development-turnaround time is fast.

The Mac UI _looks_ better; for some reason, though, I'm getting two icons in my dock, occasionally.

They have clear roadmaps for each major version number. I'm not so sure I'd consider it dumb.

Look to be quite a few hacks in there — tubes and tubes and tubes. Though I suppose with all the modules, it's one big hack.

I moved to Seattle with my dog, from Indiana. She's anything but a city dog, and I think the next time I drive home, she'll be coming with me; I'll give her to a friend or my sister. As dog-friendly as Seattle is, there are definitely dogs that can't do the city.

I don't think I'll ever get to this point, but I'm slowly working my way up. Sold a few computers, excessive speakers, and more a few weeks ago to finish paying off my collegiate credit card debt. It's unbelievably liberating.

Text-only cache.

T-Mobile has constantly been coming out on top as of late, (in regards to customer relations/treatment) but they still don't quite have the network though, do they?

(Currently stuck on AT&T.)

I see the point about having an enterprise level of support.

I also see two edge cases.

I've had an LCD screen replaced (fo' free) 2 years outside the warranty period —

My first Mac, so it made an impression.

So all you had to do was wait for a postage-paid box and send it back?

As an aside, Apple's Bluetooth mice have always seemed terrible, IMHO.

It might be there, but it won't necessarily be good.

Flash still stutters on Atom-based devices.

Useful and productive are two totally different ideas.

Useful is the definition of Yelp or Google Maps.

Productive. Well, perhaps a GTD app.

I assumed it was Sony being 'uncool.'
