Matter user here. I love the app, currently on the paid plan.

It has some nice bells and whistles (reading articles to you, highlights, etc) but it does the core job of saving articles for reading really well.

I’m not a pocket user so it may or may not be a good substitute but worth trying. I wish Matter worked on the kobo but there’s no API AFAIK (they do have a few of their own integrations with Obsidian and Readwise).

Kagi Assistant 2 years ago

Kagi uses Google as one of its sources for search results so should be able to return the same reddit results as Google.

How has the experience building on top of FoundationDB?

I've always thought it deserved to be used more widely so intrigued to see it pop up here.

Congrats on launching!

I'd suggest rethinking "5 automated flows with unlimited emails" on the free plan. Sending a few emails is very cheap, but sending a lot of email is not. Inevitably somebody will sign up for the free plan and send far more email than you expect. It will either end up costing you money, impacting the experience for your other users, or both.

You can always offer higher limits on paid plans.

They expect that the smaller amount of lifting will increase satellite lifetime by 50% even after accounting for atmospheric drag.

I'm curious: why will this provide a longer life? Is it the lift burn itself that affects the lifetime (so reduced lift burn is better for the satellite)?

Several of the app subscriptions listed appear to actually be subscriptions for content (Apple Music, The Guardian, Medium) while others are actual services being paid for (Dropbox).

The Dash iOS app is a great addition -- try it on an iPad with the Duet second screen app.

I'm confused: Duet is an app for viewing a macOS desktop on the iPad. How would you use it with the Dash iOS app?

New Tube for London 12 years ago

Part of the problem is that much of the London tube is quite deep underground. New trains on the sub-surface lines have air conditioning, but on the deeper lines it's difficult to extract the waste heat.

It can be a problem in summer. I've seen a couple of passengers faint from the heat on hot days.

Seems like a solution would be to just have 4 weeks contracted leave which accrues. Then have an open policy on top of that which allows an employee to exceed 4 weeks per year.

I tried to give away a heavy instance in the past but to sell on the Reserved Instance marketplace you must have a US bank account. Worth noting if you are considering heavy instances and are based outside the US. You will be stuck with them for the life of the reservation term.

The source is at https://github.com/LightTable/LightTable

The binary from CloudFront looks to be a convenience to avoid building node-webkit. From the readme:

  Then we have to do some juggling (unless you fancy building node-webkit from source).
You can get the source for node-webkit and build it yourself[1] but it looks to be time consuming and requires a significant amount of disk space.

[1] https://github.com/rogerwang/node-webkit/wiki/Building-node-...

  I did read it. And I even read the other articles he linked to. 
  You know the one titled _Average Americans don't need assault weapons_ 
Just to clarify: I don't think Schneier is linking to that article. It looks like it is inserted automagically by CNN's publishing platform in the middle of the articles (I assume to try and increase page views and ad impressions.)
