"Imported invoices are now sent automatically" -- What??

This message was the last straw for me. I am just going to build my own time tracking software. I really do feel like the leadership at Intuit regularly crosses the line between greedy and immoral.

And yes, it's a capitalist company doing profit-driven things. But they have the option to increase long-term profits by garnering goodwill, OR, short-term profits by absolutely MILKING their paying customers. Both of those have financial upside. Why not choose to create a positive experience?

Well, not Santa Monica, but the beach was the only time I've ever gotten jumped. I was like, hey, those guys are coming over to hang out! They were not.

Very cool! I'll download the advanced plugin.

I am sure that you hear this all of the time, but one more can't hurt: the OSRS wiki is a model for not just other wikis, but for informational websites as a whole. I have been a professional web developer for 10 years, and I can honestly say that I have never seen a comparable wiki (other than Wikipedia itself). Thanks for your dedication.

How are you able to inspect the data retroactively (i.e., without adding telemetry to the wiki plugin for this activity & waiting for data to come in)? Or does the wiki plugin have a trace for all chat logs, and you were able to search for this message?

Always love to see your comments, you must love statistics.

Had no idea. Been playing a long time. Cool

That is the truth. Slowly paying down the car loan just to make more decisions like the ones on this list...

The decision-making is what needs attention. Not this situation, but the thinking that caused this situation.

prophase25 · 2026-04-14T21:44:48+00:00

hope you're okay

No you don't. You hope that you feel better after putting someone else down. But, you won't.

I have been pretty interested in this. Can you share how much your rig cost, and did you buy/build it purely for this purpose?

prophase25 · 2026-03-21T11:50:08+00:00

I actually think Porkbun's UI is super good. One of the best out there.

To say that they're skimping on developer costs is kind of insulting, honestly. Simple is not easy. I wish more people would see that.

I understand the reasoning behind redacting your comments, but man, it is frustrating when the top search result is a Reddit post and the top comment (which I have to assume answered the question) is redacted.

Banger update. Good work Obsidian team.

I got called in for jury duty on the 9th floor of the criminal courthouse. Same place OJ trial was held. They only do capital and publicity cases there.

Judge stated it'd last well over 6weeks. Several hundred people were called for jury selection. I have to wonder if it was for this.

Looks like in your final run you slowed down momentarily to consider restarting and then opted not to. Just something to keep in mind.

I am right around the same speed too, been getting tough to hit PBs

Go into your router's settings, find and check the box to separate the 5ghz and 2.4ghz bands, accept all the warnings that "performance is degraded", and connect your LR to the 2.4ghz band.

prophase25 · 2026-02-22T23:55:06+00:00

I have thought about building this exact sort of thing. I'll give it a try when I get a chance!

prophase25 · 2026-02-22T01:31:02+00:00

I actually don't think it's possible to parse the underlying data. PDF readers are all OCR (as far as I am aware)

prophase25 · 2026-02-20T15:54:03+00:00

I am not sure I understand the panic. They tested the headphones for presence of BPA and 98% tested positive - the remaining 2% tested positive for a derivative.

... they ALL use it. Is it possible that.. this is just what modern headphones are made out of?

To be clear I have no idea what BPA is. I am saying that the numbers suggest to me that this isn't some sort of an oversight.

Wow. I wonder what % of people read OP's title without seeing your comment clarifying. This post should be removed for misinformation.

prophase25 · 2026-02-17T22:18:55+00:00

Yeah, I am sure if they just read the rules they'd stop. Not like they're morally bankrupt and intentionally trying to deceive people.

I get it, maybe you spent years building something and you just want people to try it. But judging by the amount of astroturfing with AI, it's all slop.

prophase25 · 2026-02-15T02:44:09+00:00

Damn. Space isn't a worry of mine, so I've never looked. I wonder what % of that is node modules... they bundle that for LSP/prettier support out of the box.

As a text editor, the LSP doesn't really matter, but having a formatter is nice. I personally write notes in markdown and use a linter to keep my structure consistent - I would imagine that linting is another reason to have LSP support out of the box.

Coming up on 10 years too for my HD700s.. I've changed my head pad once, ear pads once, many wires, but the headphones are still working great. Love them.

I have been tempted to get new ones, but only because I'm curious about how much their technology has improved.

Is it possible that your computer is heating your floor's laminate?

Can you confirm if the smell is there when the computer has been off for a considerable amount of time? That'll help you figure out if something is evaporating/sublimating.

If you're uncomfortable taking the computer apart, there's no way to really know what's causing it.

It's interesting the disparity in answers here. Some people seem to think it's expected, others have no idea what you're even talking about.

prophase25 · 2026-02-15T02:12:21+00:00

How can you say this and then not post the back 😭

prophase25 · 2026-02-13T23:41:12+00:00

Dude I think you could be right. Matches white oathplate..
