Matthew Hall Why when a colleague comes in to work with a laptop and a new SSD is a great reminder to make sure my backups are good. Simple - when he started his (infrequent) time machine backup was when his old drive died :-/

Simon Janes SSDs are scary little devices, so fast, and of course noiseless, so there is no "clicking of death" to warn you of impending doom. datacent.com/hard_...

Josh Sharp Good question. Here is some anecdotal evidence: I tried modafinil and definitely felt more alert, more articulate, just a little more "switched on". Even if I took it first thing in the morning though, it seemed to keep me going well into the night, and I had trouble sleeping. Given its prescribed use I guess that makes sense.

Matthew Hall Good to know your results, thanks. Now reading up at smarternootropics....

Josh Sharp In terms of research, or the effects of consuming some?

Matthew Hall research for now, wondering how to self-test for measuring effects.

Josh Sharp I like that the ellipses are now red, but I kinda wish that long posts weren't truncated in my feed. Rarely are they so long that they'd disrupt the flow, and I'd prefer a bit of visual variety in length anyway, vs clicking through to read the final three words that got cut off.
