The Dwarvish caps look stunning. Technically, the dwarves were the first beings on Arda (excluding the Maiar and Valar), so they've always held a very special place in my heart. LoTR (and associated works) is so ridiculously good - I r

Yeah, it seems like he was referring more to bike-shedding than anything. Focus on the efficient, meta-goal, and make efficient choices for the highest value. In this case, since the entirety of the project is to be written in a specific la

I think there is a need for this. I use it daily and still find myself relegated back to pretty much the features that were available when I first picked it up - would love somewhat of a refresher book that is updated for 2021/2022.

Most FIRE people don't just stop working. They just stop working boring, 8-5's. For example, I really want to open my own cidery. But doing so would be such a massive paycut that it wouldn't be worth pursuing right now, even

Can't you apply similar arguments against pretty much any innovation? Most innovations decrease the amount of work needed to accomplish something, necessitating "fewer" jobs. If remote work is advantageous for the majority

The renters who couldn't pay are getting a bailout.

Yes, I assume as well. I think "government bailout", while technically true, is a bit loaded, however. Landlord's hands were forced by the eviction moratorium - so it's a bailout for a problem the government caused. Now,
