For takeaway 2, I've found using NixOS lately to be good at keeping myself disciplined about documenting the odd little hacks I've added to fix an issue. Like in this case, I'd have to add something to my boot.loader.grub.ext

I'm in the same boat. I started my linux use with everything-bundled distros like Ubuntu but I really appreciated Arch for giving me a better sense of how things tend to hang together. Made me much more comfortable transitioning into s

I gave it an honest try, but I found it much harder to adapt to than the calendar. I could just about do head-conversion for dates between Gregorian and Revolutionary calendars for things like appointments, but found it much harder to do it

For a few years I lived my life rigorously to the beat of the french revolutionary calendar - i was very enamoured by its consistent month partitioning, and dumping the leap day at the end of the year's festival days. The major downsid

It's not a 'simple inquiry' though, because the context matters: it's an ambigious message from someone above you in the employment chain, that often has to make calls on employment of the people under them. Same reason

WaniKani is a great tool. If you're using it, I can also recommend KaniWani ( http://www.kaniwani.com/ ) - it's inverse. It hooks into your WaniKani using your API key and shows English variations of the words you

Agreed, im quite tired of HN commenters having the gall to question the basis for my half baked stances and strongly held gut feelings.

Distinct memory of having a painful conversation with my angry mum as a bairn, after I had racked up a hefty phone bill on one of those Game Walkthrough Help Lines while playing this game.

I thought readthedocs was just documentation hosting? If I remember correctly, the actual documentation generation is done with Sphinx.

I'm not seeing the contradiction there? "Most of the damage" suggests some still to come.

I think it's absolutely fair to ask whether Musk is the right person to improve discourse on Twitter given his behaviour on the topic in the past, and I don't think this has anything to do with not enjoying works made by flawed pe

Where did they mouth a useless platitude about diversity? I cannot see it in the post you're replying to.
