What an epic save. I have a few laptops and harddrives that I have been wanting to convert for years, and this motivates me again to try since I know that they're a bunch of ide and nvme connectors, nothing near the hoops the author had to jump through.

Kinda annoyed that the download is a zip and not the PDF

I came her to comment on the quote from Ousterhout that, "It's not clear to me that you can ever "recover" from RSI; all you can do is stabilize at your current level of disability." I hope he got a chance to fully recover.

I too had debilitating RSI, leading to needing wrist braces and typing with a pencil lodged in my left hand and a few achy fingers on my right.

The book "It's Not Carpal Tunnel Syndrome!: RSI Theory and Therapy for Computer Professionals" [1] really opened my eyes on how to treat it.

I didn't start weight training, but did spend at least 20 minutes a day on trigger point therapy between my shoulder blades and elbow crease. That helped the most.

Then a vertical mouse, split keyboard, ergonomically placed chair, and correct table height helped prevent the recurrence.

I asked: “my girlfriend thinks im too much sometimes, what can I do to make her happy?”

It wrote:

“ It is important to understand the concept of inelastic and elastic demand when it comes to relationships. An inelastic demand for your girlfriend or boyfriend is when you expect them to always be available and willing to fulfill your needs without any change in the amount of effort you put into the relationship. On the other hand, an elastic demand is when you are willing to put in more effort to make the relationship work. If your girlfriend is feeling overwhelmed by your expectations, it may be helpful to adjust your expectations and put in more effort to make the relationship work. Additionally, if you and your girlfriend live one hour apart, it can be helpful to use the tools developed in the chapter to predict which one of you will do most of the driving. This can help to make sure that the relationship tax is shared evenly.”

The future is now.

I can imagine a lot of new graduates having trouble with this:

> I think many people, especially those newer to the working world, underestimate just how ruthless and sociopathic our late-stage Capitalist working conditions really are [...] I’d love to live in a world where less mercenary advice wasn’t dangerous, but that’s not our world.

You'll be surprised to know that a cryptocurrency transaction is a record on a ledger of a transfer of some value. Whether it happens "off-chain" or not does not discount it being a crypto-currency transaction. What the poster above is referring to are "level 2" solutions, for example [1] the Lightning Network for Bitcoin. In short, the crypto is being transacted on one network, then that record is finalized along with others on the Bitcoin ledger.

Things have moved very quickly since this was true. For comparison, [1] Visa claims at it's maximum to achieve 24,000 transactions per second (tps), and Mastercard 5000. The work on the Bitcoin Lightning Network is moving ahead to help achieve [2] "approximately 1 million transactions per second."

Another crypto currency in use today is Solana. That runs at around 50,000 tps, beating the higher end of today's credit processing networks.

This is awesome! I have been thinking about building something like this for a long time. Good thing I don't need to.

The simple goal and counting the days is something I've been doing for years, but on paper and calendars. This is so much simpler, it feels more right. I really like the KISS approach and look here.

One UX factor to point out: I lost my data after signing up for the first time. That sucked.

Otherwise... Thank you, please keep building this, and if you're looking for feedback, I'm here to give it.

I believe there is 1 single use of the word bourgeois in this whole graphic article. It is used to define "of or characteristic of the middle class, typically with reference to its perceived materialistic values or conventional attitudes." Which is a neat and succinct way of representing the "order and rationality" of the referenced people spoken of in this piece.

Nothing egregious here.
