It's only a tarpit idea when you don't know it's a tarpit idea. I'm building a bookmarking service. I have no illusions that this will become anything more than a hobby project. Still, I love solving specific problems for myself (specifically, making consumption easier to deal with content overload).

I love this concept. I live by a popular head trail, and when I do work in the garage (on my bikes or other projects), I usually keep the door open. That simple thing led to meeting many people from around the neighborhood.

I tried to add a product (https://platformchecker.com), and initially, the process wasn't clear. The icon isn't marked as mandatory (it is) and the discount code is (it is not).

FWIW, as a hobbyist developer who never had a chance to learn React, I found HTMX really helpful to make my Flask projects more reactive without adding much complexity.

Binance can't operate in the US like Coinbase, that's why they have Binance US which is pretty small. FTX was setup similarly. https://coinmarketcap.com/rankings/exchanges/

New comment by davidedicillo in "In a small trial, drugs seemed to rejuvenate the body’s ‘epigenetic clock’ (2019)"

davidedicillo — Sat, 04 Jun 2022 04:21:12 +0000

For anyone interested in the topic, I'd encourage reading "Lifespan" by David A. Sinclair. As someone with little to no-knowledge about aging (other than feeling the effects of aging on myself) I found it very instructive on how our aging clock works and what are some of the ongoing studies to slow down or revert aging.

Beside when I travel, I have only had 3 type of breakfast for the past ~35 years. First 20 milk and cookies (a specific type from a specific brand), then honey bunches of oats with almonds for another 13 years, and the past couple of years I switched to a different brand with less added sugars.

The rule doesn't exists anymore. Ads with a lot of text simply get penalized when it comes to distribution.

Oh the irony of using an Italian word to describe his goal to write simply. Italian is way more verbose than English.
