This is similar advice to one of the Atomic Habits chapters about identity. You might find it a chore to go the gym if you frame it to yourself that way. But if you call yourself an athlete, or just "i'm a fit person" and that becomes part of your identity, it's easier to do. Works for me so far.

Did this 20 years ago, it was called Schoeneswochenende Fahrkarte "Good weekend" ticket. You could get all over the country, but real slow. I met loads of people and got invited to people's homes, because they didn't typically see an Aussie backpacker on a local train. Great times, go do it.

Main take away: we all need to go spend some time in Japan.

Was fun for a while and mostly for myself. A few 100 ppl used it, but I found I didn't really enjoy reading that way as I thought I would... especially when Covid killed commutes.

I had the Delaware registration / California operating setup. The wind down is just as many steps. Cancelling sales / use tax registrations, the SoS registration, making your FTB tax is all paid and then cancelled in both states. Making sure both state and federal returns are marked final and don't close your bank account until you've paid them all.

4. Egress costs from the clouds are non-trivial for large datasets. So now you're locked into both your db and your cloud.

-z only shows AS numbers, not names. The point of this is to quickly tell you companies and networks you recognize. Also, mtr requires sudo to run.

-A gets you the AS, my tool looks up the name. So you can see "Oh, it goes from Comcast, to Cogent to Google." cool. Rather than ASNs which you don't immediately recognize.

Nice job! Two clicks on my phone and first route was spot on.

Nice -- thanks for that. Very similar approach. The "5 minutes" or "20 pages" instead of one seems to be ringing through pretty clearly. Might make that an option when you subscribe.

Ha! That's another vote for the "send me 5 pages" or "send me 10 pages" link in the emails.

Nice. I thought of doing a similar thing, but being a recovering startup guy, I was like, I should totally build this as a platform and let others read books this way. :p

Plus, a big part of why I kept going with it was because I wanted to see how far I could push Cloudflare Workers as a pure app development platform... pretty far it turns out! (disclosure: I work at Cloudflare, although not on the Workers team).
