What a terribly difficult life and yet with so many great achievements. An inspiration!


Another fun story is the "My Car does not start when I buy Vanilla ice cream": https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21779857


Also what's with the magic trick of entering DFU mode by pressing the buttons at a very specific time for a very specific number of seconds? Felt like singing a song to some fictional Mac OS gods and hoping for the stars to align for the laptop to show up in the second Mac. Ah, also the port you use for the USB-C cable matters!! Has to be the first from the left? But why?

Anw, I followed a video by Mr. Macintosh and managed to get mine up and running, whew.


Well it’s a mode you really don’t want users going into if they didn’t intend to, so it kind of makes sense to only activate if the user has deliberately done an action that would not happen randomly.

Dijkstra worked remotely, before it was cool. Haha!


Same, but i also favorite the ones i want to read later and in the evening go through the comments of some of them. Some never get read though


yeah, once a day, like i said, i go through all "new" and 24 hours later, before repeating, i actually read yesterdays tabs, along with comments. then bookmark interesting once.

and yes, like you said, will never be read :)


Loved this! I was just hoping I'd see a count of how many I got right with the first try in the end, but it was fun anyway!


Thank you :)

The reason I don;t have that feature is because I only want us to feed right information to our brain. But I will marinate over your feedback :)

I will also keep adding different levels and words. Keep an eye :)

You reminded me of this song: https://open.spotify.com/track/2Z77xPgph4BVaW8BgzVZrp?si=c-1...

And I believe what you say is very true, although I'm one of the ones that easily move and embrace the change - I think I keep doing it for the fun and the challenge and simply out of curiosity. At least that's what I tell myself, since I've had to _really_ think if I was trying to run away from anything whenever I did choose to move, exactly because of that expression and of this song.

ps. I also went into my notes and found this gem, which I've really enjoyed reading some time ago: https://moretothat.com/travel-is-no-cure-for-the-mind/


What's the point?


I could have written this. The exact same thing happens to me and now I am realizing you might be right and it might be on purpose so we scroll through all the unnecessary ads. Arrgh.
