As one who actually did do some work while holding a newborn, what you actually want is a Moby wrap or similar. You wrap the kid up and tie them around your torso, then you have both hands free. Even my fussy little guy was reasonably happy

I mostly don't. I get a few hours after they're in bed and before I go to bed in which to cram cleanup, catching up with my wife, and other bits of essential life maintenance. It does get easier as they age. Our youngest is three,

Forget relaxing - sometimes it's nice to distract the kids so I can, say, cook dinner without them literally hanging off my legs.

FWIW, I work around OS X's terrible inability to position windows correctly when adding / removing monitors with Hammerspoon, and have done for years: https://github.com/NateEag/dotfiles/blob/ced1819

Interesting. Thanks for elaborating!

Oh. Yeah, that's... icky. Thanks for explaining.

right, profiting from other people's labor is certainly not inherently wrong. Collecting most of the income from a project while putting very little effort into it feels kind of skeezy to me, but I'm not sure I can tell you preci

...minor Star Wars nerd here: It's a pressure chamber. He uses it so he can take off his pressure suit / armor for a bit without dying. IIRC it wasn't about meditation at all.

I've not read the book, but IIUC _The Four Hour Workweek_ has as its central idea that you can outsource most of your actual work to other people while accruing most of the wealth those others are creating. Not exactly a mark of great

OP didn't say PHP and jQuery were why Pieter Levels is making millions - just that they're tools he's using to do it. Ergo, they are at least fit for that purpose. They aren't bad enough to prevent him from making mill

I use an iterative blame tool (magit-blame in Emacs) and it generally does pretty well for me. I prefer having the author out of the way and looking it up when I'm curious. I can see how others might prefer the opposite.

Worth noting that you can replace evil-mode's insert-state with its emacs-state, thereby getting conventional Emacs keybindings when you're typing. That's how I have it configured.

If you're using a decent version control system, the name and date can be skipped in favor of a quick blame when you actually need to know.

Despite using Ansible for several different projects in the past few years, I had no idea there was a corner involving JMESPath. Thanks for the heads-up. FWIW, my choice to move towards JMESPath is definitely a pragmatic one, not an aesthet

Thanks. Glad I was able to help clarify.

I think what I'm describing might fit into the "generous, considerate" part of the definition you cite. The senses I associate with the two words are probably more connotations than denotations, though.

I see the two as quite different. To me, "kind" implies taking time and effort for someone, investing in them. That might mean engaging in conflict with them, if that seems to be what they need. "Nice," on the other hand

I suspect the JMESPath people would argue that if you want to do major transformations to the input, you should write a proper program, and that a CLI query tool should focus on, well, querying. I'm personally trying to move away from

I think what you're missing is that most humans are not what Netflix calls "fully-formed adults." If your team consists of mature, kind, focused, skilled, honest, emotionally well-regulated people, then yes, the team can self

The research suggests that M-DISC Blu-Rays should be fairly durable if not handled often. I think the disc players are the weak link. I can definitely imagine them going away nigh-entirely in a decade or three.

A few recommendations from an avid armchair computer historian: - Dealers of Lightning is a wonderful book covering Xerox PARC's history and contributions. If you don't know what Xerox PARC is, then you should definitely read it.

If I'm enforcing any of this, then I enforce that, yes. All of these constraints can be enforced programmatically, and if you're going to adopt them at all I think automating them is the way to do it. Personally, whether I enforce

I'm personally a fan of small, clean commits, rebasing without squashing before merge, always making a merge commit, and writing a clear, through merge commit explaining what the branch does. That way, I can treat the series of merge

Sufficient constraints do prevent it, though. I have some (to me) fascinating and promising ideas about tooling around managing software specifications. I also have strong opinions about version control and some core ideas about how I'

I forgive you, and appreciate the apology and recognition that you needed to step away and take a breather. I do think you make a decent case for open source being a viable way to make a profitable business. There are certainly businesses t
