   It depends. This is really up to you. Here's what I have started doing: * Don't bookmark, add to a relevant Notion doc instead. An exception is for tools or pages I definitely will visit again soon because I either use them all th

   Maybe we can get into an arms race where we try to have actually new ideas by testing whether our brains are surprising to brain scanners or not every year or so.

   this is another post that I wish went beyond the idea it is proposing and gave some researched stances on that idea, like who was more right at the beginning of covid and how they are different from people who were less right

   I like the smiley. Maybe it's not optimal, but it's not a problem either, for me. I go to desktop chrome, history, tabs from other drvices, and then copy from there or bookmark all. Then I can close all on mobile. Also not ideal,

    I have given this blog the highest honor I can afford it: putting a bookmark to it on my phone's home screen. No, wait. I'm going to make it my home page.

    Can you discuss this transparently with the client? Can you charge for project instead of billable hours, or agree on a fixed number of hours up front? Would you be willing to work more hours than agreed on if you aren't making enough

    I just unfollow and unfriend as much as possible, and move to increasingly more interesting but less addictive platforms. My sense of calmness has increased. I do feel more isolated. But not that much more.

    Super hydration right before bed, nasal saline spray, wedge pillow. Secondarily hot shower before bed, nasal opening strips. Over the long term, weight loss.

    Your comment seems perpendicular to mine? Luck and dirtbaggery are pretty orthogonal, so what's your point?

    That's untrue. An accurate, less clickbaity title for the article would be "Web-centric technologies are ubiquitous in all types of software now".

    Take any DAW project file and unzip it. It's probably XML. True for Ableton Live and Reaper.

    Interesting, thanks. I think the semantics "web tech" can be argued, but factually tye invention of SGML is dated at 1986 and of the web at 1989. So that's interesting.

    * c25k (couch to 5k) is an app I just started using to train for long distance running. A week ago, I thought I could only run for 2 blocks. With the first 2 runs on this app (and the advice from r/running to run slower), I now realize

    DAWs use XML, to the author's point. I'm not familiar enough with AAA development but I wouldn't be surprised at all if JSON and XML make a showing there as well. That's not to mention that if the game is online, it cert

    I have to agree. I'd rather open the terminal and do a git push or otherwise run a command rather than having every save get deployed.

    Just don't put too much of your heart and soul into your job. Don't believe in your employer's mission too much. Don't tie up your identity with your job too much. Don't work too many hours. In other words have boun

    this looks really cool! I like the card-based design and the idea of subscribing to news and creating links. I'll probably give it a whirl :)
