πŸ”₯ Discover this must-read post from Hacker News πŸ“– πŸ“‚ **Category**: πŸ’‘ **What You’ll Learn**: I am no longer developing JSON Formatter as an open source project. I'm moving to a closed-source, commercial model in order to build a more comprehensive API-browsing tool with premium features. I know some users (especially here on GitHub) will always prefer open source tools, so I’m leaving this repo online for others to use/fork, and I’ve published the final open source version as JSON Formatter Classic – you can switch to that if you just want a simple, open source, local-only JSON-formatting extension that…

πŸ’₯ Explore this awesome post from Hacker News πŸ“– πŸ“‚ **Category**: πŸ“Œ **What You’ll Learn**: ← Back April 2026 It is with deep regret that I must shatter long held illusions about the structure of our world. The seasons don't make sense. Our calendar is wrong. The things you believe to be summer, winter, spring, and fall are not as they seem. The "first day" of any season, the most broken concept of all, has misled untold billions. Here's the calendar you're familiar with if you're from North America: Summer Solstice (start of summer): June 21 Fall Equinox (start of…

πŸ’₯ Explore this insightful post from BBC Culture πŸ“– πŸ“‚ **Category**: πŸ“Œ **What You’ll Learn**: Four years later, the provocative HBO drama is back, with the return of Zendaya, Jacob Elordi and Sydney Sweeney.

Productive procrastination β€” Max van IJsselmuiden

πŸ”₯ Explore this insightful post from Hacker News πŸ“– πŸ“‚ **Category**: πŸ’‘ **What You’ll Learn**: The past few weeks, it feels like procrastination is everywhere. It might just be the frequency illusion β€” but it’s on my mind, so I need to write about it. Not too long ago, I finished a video on my channel, a couple of days after filming.

I had seen the announcement of Amazon S3 and had been thinking vaguely about the problem of secure backups β€” even though I didn't start Tarsnap until several months later β€” and the idea of an online storage service appealed to me.
