I've been calling sports physios "body mechanics" for quite awhile now. A much more appealing term, IMO, and it cuts to the heart of what the job is about.

This makes me think of John Williams, an artist of great renown known for things like the Raiders of the Lost Ark OST and the Star Wars OSTs. All of his stuff (or most of it) is repurposed and refitted chunks of other classical works. The b

It's the same mindset some artists have when considering raw stone for a statue: there's a Greek god in there somewhere, you just have to find him. It's a way of thinking, not some deep metaphysical mystery. Unless it is actu

I'm not saying taxes are bad. I'm saying specifically that taxing property itself is bad. If someone 'owns' a thing, why would they pay rent to some landlord (the state)? I acknowledge that I'm indulging in equivoca

Property tax is theft. By applying a tax to a _thing_ that someone owns, you are saying 'actually, this thing you have is mine, and if you don't pay me for the privilege of having it, I will take it away from you'.

I'm essentially of the mindset of JohnFen (adjacent comment). If I have a health issue that crops up, I'm financially done anyway. Given this, I might as well control the money rather than throw it into a pit and hope something us

I've seriously considered opting out of health insurance altogether and stuffing away the obscenely priced monthly expense into an interest yielding account. Insurance is nightmarish, and I don't really want to deal with it much a

The mouth speaks what is in the heart. What is inside eventually leaks out. In anonymized spaces, this is especially true, and has been acknowledged from the beginnings of the internet (and perhaps long before). When you don a mask, your he

My current laptop is a 15 year old freebie from work. It does everything I need it to. Except for run all the boosted agent frameworks. It chokes on open code, Claude Code, I don't dare try codex.

One of the ideas I had (and I'm still tinkering with) is 'agent as a linux user'. All of the perms/groups/access rights are already built in, so it would make sense to leverage these for agents running on the same h

What you are describing is precisely my goal with my agent framework. One of the meta-processes designed in is pushing automated processes, both defined and discovered, down as far as possible. "Down" here means as far towards the

That's like saying 'getting attached to locked dependencies for your app is a smell'. But this could be framed as 'getting attached to an API revision when a new one is available'... I can see it both ways, tbh.

In some of the scifi books I've read there's local time and there is 'sol' or 'earth' time, where 'sol' or 'earth' time is the absolute time, and the local time slides by the absolute time.

To OP, you should look into Barbara Arrowsmith-Young's clock exercises. They start with a single hand, and add more and more hands until the units get out into centuries or millennia.

I use lazyvim for all my neovim config. Does it fly in the face of the configurability or minimalism of vim? I'd argue no, but rather it is an expected outcome of a highly configurable system. Some people don't want to think about
