Thank you for writing this! It is getting harder and harder to continue buying Apple products and I have moved to buying refurbs as the electronics space is quite limited in options and the ecosystem lock in is real. It's a shame, beca

I think the better question is general walkability. The extremes is a pretty weird trip to do comparisons of since most people go from the outskirts into the centers to work and play and then go back to the outskirts. The question becomes..

I've started buying refurb, and will be heavily considering my upcoming electronics purchases. I encourage others to reduce consumption from companies which kowtow to this dangerous administration's demands and rhetoric. I've

Donate to the lawyers in the courts (You can look at briefings to find plaintiffs and defendants but the ACLU's a good bet). These folk are absolutely securing wins against this administration and pushing back, but it's extremely

It's great that they've declared war on DEI claiming it elevates people to positions they don't deserve to hold over more qualified candidates and then immediately proceed to elevate the least qualified, most corrupt, despica

I have no idea what that is so maybe it already got me! I just go by smell, you can definitely tell when the water has turned. Does the bacillus not die during the reboiling? That's some hearty stuff

Yea, I think the wording in the title seems fine. I probably end up slightly wordier... "Hmm, not sure. My best guess is that we're probably pulling some values from context and then using that to determine the behavior you'r

In ViM with the CoC code completion plugin JTD gives me multiple options when there are many and I can choose the sensible one in a popover before the actual jump occurs. I believe that was my experience with IDEs too?

Jump to definition works when you have the starting point already. I use both grep and JTD fairly frequently for different use cases.

For anyone unfamiliar, construction tenders are part of the project bidding process and appear to be a structured and formal manner in which contractors submit bids for large projects.

Can depend on the pasta too, and how much volume water to pasta you have.

by codyb 1y ago
If you make pasta frequently, you can just reserve the pasta water on the stove and cook more pasta in it the next day. I usually just leave it out with a cover on, it's fine for a day, probably two. For whole grain pastas I find this

Peaceful protests, calling your reps, voting, and donating to organizations that have lawyers in the courts and lobbyists on Washington repping your interests are all super helpful relatively low effort steps that have impact when done en m

The US Digital Service has done a ton of great work in a thoughtful manner. Thanks Obama!

I think interoperability and modularity as core concepts in military design are "only" a few decades old and as such there's probably plenty of existing systems that haven't needed to be replaced yet, or can't be r

Just seconding all of this and how useful (and annoying) the conjugation deck has been for me in Spanish. Not sure if it was the KOFI one, but it runs through from irregular through to the mostly regular. And yea, total pain in the ass, and

I'm at the... "the less news I consume the better" phase of my year lol so I haven't found much I visit regularly but Telemundo and AP News en Español were two good ones.

Ah, that's interesting. I've definitely learned a ton through the vocabulary and conjugation decks and they're a great way to continue learning even on days when there's little other stimulus. I think what's key is

I add memory tricks (mostly mnemonics in this case) in that I learned from Dominic O'Brien [0] (I think some of his work has PDFs available) in order to juice the process a bit (helps with the tricky ones, and can make learning the new

There's a large number of prebuilt Anki decks available here as well if this is useful for anyone exploring the space - https://ankiweb.net/shared/decks?search

The most effective routine is the one you stick with for sure! I love anki and use it for Spanish which is showing marked improvement. I do vocab and conjugation with Anki. Then I just find other ways to immerse myself and call it a day. -

Can you volunteer? I volunteer through work, but it's a great way to meet some nice people for a few hours and do something nice.

“I don’t know him, but I was… they say it was very unfair. And they say the thing that he did wrong was he was one of the first people that supported a gentleman named Donald Trump for president,” the President said then. The filing last mo

There's a place for both. Sometimes I listen to music and dance around while I crank out tasks that require some thought, but not a ton. And other times for really menial tasks like cleaning I'll zone out cause my mind can truly w

Probably depends on the House. I suppose if it's the White House the guy'd just get pardoned by the next president anyways.

I didn't say go to war, I said adversarial. Adiplomatic is... _very mild_ considering the threats he's made about taking over Greenland and Canada. Bluster or not, the fact is... the President of the United States is openly talkin

Tons of buildings aren't residential. And there's still lots of single family homes as you get out into Queens, Staten Island, up further in the Bronx and further out in Brooklyn sometimes too. I wonder how many people are living

I do enjoy how Eliza's big plan is to go sit on the stairs, and in her family's regular spots on the couch! Very funny and relatable
