I'm getting a full neuro-psych screening next month because my therapist suspects I may have OCD. It's a 4-6 hour series of tests/interviews (and probably other stuff, I'll find out). I'm guessing that's what t

Yeah, it makes zero sense to use a SSR framework for an Electron app. Just use React, Vue, or Svelte directly. It's one of the few use cases where a SPA makes sense, since the bundle is being served locally.

Yeah, it came off as complete nonsense. If someone were talking to me like this in person, I'd probably start suspecting they were doing it to distract me while their friend was outside stealing my hubcaps.

I'll admit that I got distracted by lead agent's super rad name. I'd like to think someone at the Secret Service said "we need to bring in McCool" as soon as they discovered the potential threat.

I'll never understand why tech companies choose some of the locations for their data centers. Considering a big thing with data centers is "keeping stuff cool", you would think they would build them in the northern states, cl

It's usually Alaska. I fly back and forth to PDX pretty frequently, so I get plenty of cardio at the airport. And you're right about the traffic, but I would argue that 290 is the absolute worst :)

> I cannot relax before I’ve physically visited the gate. Haha, oh lawd I can relate. After getting through security with hours to spare before boarding, I make sure to check that my gate actually exists before I can relax.

I'm also an O'Hare flyer and the biggest time vampire you face there isn't long security lines, it's the four-mile walk to your gate lol

I take at least 6 - 8 flights a year and I have never needed to show up to the airport 2 hours early, but for some reason, I still do. Maybe it's superstition? I almost always end up at my gate within 15 minutes of walking into the a

No joke, the main reason I got TSA PreCheck was so I didn't have to take my shoes off. All the other benefits were just nice extra perks. It was a preposterous policy and I'm glad it's gone.

I know XML and XSLT gets a lot of hate. To some extent, the hate for XSLT is warranted. But I have to work with XML files for my job, and it was pretty refreshing to not have to install any libraries to work with them in a web app. We use X
