I've called this the snowball of success where you make small, disciplined actions that you call "success" (_setting an alarm_) than then "snowballs" into larger "successes" (_cleaning your room_). The opp

I feel I am the same way and in every new 1:1 where someone asks how I like to receive feedback, I have learned I need to ask them for it async. I tell people that if they have anything to tell me, to put it in a slack message or email so t

In my party days,I always understood MDMAas being pure MDMA while X was MDMA mixed with coke, meth, or heroin to make the drug effects last longer, as the half life of MDMA is smaller than those other three.

The pseudo-science of NLP (_neuro-lingustic programming_) or "conversational hypnosis" is based on the believe that you _can_ program people with carefully constructed prompts alone. Not saying I _believe_ NLP to be valid (_hence

Where do you find these plumbers? When we owned our house, we never were able to find any contractor that was reliable, upfront about costs, etc. Hell, getting them on the phone and to show up was hard enough.

Cannot recommend Ramda enough. It's a great utility belt to build your application with. Only downside is the pushback I always receive from the team when I try to introduce it.

I think the only way we could allow this is through some sort of UBI or other government/state/community backed right to your needs being met. Maybe that's what you mean by genuinely affluent society, and I'd agree one o

I think this is a valid concern for Future Us to worry about. If you have alerts for when this is going to happen, you can punt the issue until it starts to become a concern and who knows if your product will be alive when that issue happen

We use whisper at $dayjob and we found that it is far better than Azures transcripts and we found that Azure and GCP had about the same correctness. I'd assume whisper will be better than YT auto ones for sure, especially if you choose

I agree that they are stuck in a bind, for sure, and they are definitely causing a recession in order to stave off the larger dragon/danger of inflation. Also agree it's largely due to QE! I think the only thing I find weird enoug

You would need some ingestion that takes in raw video from your creators and make it playable by as many people as possible. That would probably lead to HLS, CMAF, or similar. Then you'd need some server to serve those assets. That wou

It's okay to skip 1:1s if there's nothing to talk about. I think it's more important to have a standing meeting were both parties know they can bring up "serious things" than to use every standing meeting to its ful

I am glad you found meaning in science and facts! Maybe I didn't read the right scientists. I couldn't get past what Plato would call 'shadows on a cave wall' when it comes to finding 'truth' but once again, I

From my own search on this topic: Science can only do so much with the 'internal' meaning. All people I've read are inadequate or point to religion. Religions, across the board, sure seems to be solely focused on purpose and
