I'd take that tinnitus treatment in a heartbeat. The drumming-on-the-back-of-the-skull trick lasts just long enough for me to realize what the world could sound like. (I tend to not do it anymore due to the mild depression I get real

When I was in high school, every teacher before every test or quiz would clear all of the stored programs on our calculators. A lot of the other students were upset that they would lose all of their games!

In most places I've been, Terraform was used more for documentation than mobility. Sure, you don't need to unlearn Cloudformation if you switch to GCP, but you have a ton of AWS-specific stuff in your TF config that's going t

Oh, ha! So much for my reading comprehension. Thanks for the link. I think that should be compatible with a Pi. I can try it out in a couple weeks when I get some free time to tinker.

What PM2.5 Sensor are you using? I'm about to start a build to monitor indoor AQI/CO2.

Our team started moving to Bazel two years ago with 0.21 or something. Python support is much, much better these days. We’re building Python with requirements and packing it into Docker containers. It went from “maybe run stdlib Python in a

Looks like they’ve released Dark Mode support and Apple Silicon support since that blog post. So maintenance does actually mean maintenance.

That hasn't been my experience in American schools, nor anyone that I've discussed the topic with. In my final year of High School education I had some freedom, but it was along the lines of, "You have access to advanced Biol

Looks like the article stops just short of an example that requires a nasty amount of escape sequences and single quotes. If I need to do anything more complex than what the author is discussing I just reach for Python’s shlex.quote() funct

I don’t do a lot of front end dev. Just some personal projects here and there and I usually just slap Bootstrap on it to make things look reasonable. I had to do a bit for work and man, when I started actually reading the docs I was surpris

It’s like playing roulette. Will they know what’s inside of the food they make? I don’t mean this as a dig, sometimes it is difficult. Most places don’t make _absolutely everything_ from scratch. There are various sauces and bases that they

I'd always thought that it was just a "nice" way to hide processing/network latency. I'd certainly prefer some small chirp of acknowledgement, but I think we need to reduce latency first.

I think if's are generally alright. My personal bar is arrays. Anything beyond for x in a b c; ... is getting written in Python.

Spacemacs uses “Evil mode”[1], which is available just as a regular (MELPA) package. I started with Vim and so I’ve always used evil. “Vanilla” emacs, spacemacs, now doom. [1] https://github.com/emacs-evil/evil

I rewatched the whole thing last year. It’s one of the few shows that I can really rewatch the whole thing start to finish. I like the series more as it goes on. IMDB ratings seem to agree with your sentiment (7ish out of 10 opposed to the

Yep, voice commands work. Also, It’s not the click wheel, it’s the left stalk in the 3/Y. And touching the button on the stalk brings up the part of the UI that controls the wipers. I can reach it with my pinky while my hand is on the

Just to discuss one point: > And why are some classes (int, str, float) allowed to be lower case Also, boolean. These are primitive data types. For instance, in Java there's a difference between int and Integer. I'd assume that

Do you mean “use” or “setup”? RAID is trivial to use. Mount the volume to a directory and use it like normal. The setup is a bit more involved, but really not that bad. It’s a couple commands to join a few disks in an array and then you mak

Maybe not all of them, but you can use macros in IntelliJ and VSCode implementations (and, of course, Emacs).

Have you taken a look at Evil-Escape[0]? I've bound the keys to "fd", because that feels natural, but it's trivial to do "jk". This package works on much more than just insert/normal mode switching as well

You can get out of Austin pretty quick. 30 mins in some directions can get you out of the metro area. Also, 5k sqft is 1/10 of an acre. That said, I don’t know anything about land prices in Texas right now.

Exactly what I’ve done. Tab-hiding headers for previous months/days is what drew me from markdown. More “advanced” featured have trickled in throughout the years, as needed.

I’ve been on-again, off-again with Emacs and Org over the past 10 years. The best advice I can give is to not get in over your head. Emacs and Org are the best combo for me because of the near infinite flexibility they provide... but that p

For the startup time issue, there is EmacsClient[0]. Although, I just typically leave an Emacs window open at all times. But I did use vimwiki for a while in the past and it was a good middle ground if Emacs feels like too much “extra” to l

I agree with your sentiment. I think a more apt metaphor than Kubernetes in its entirety would be comparing it to a Kubernetes ReplicaSet[1]. I can see some similarities there. For fun, to expound on your analogy, maybe it's like compa

Huh, I feel the same way about IntelliJ. Java, Python, Go, Terraform, Bazel, all in the same IDE at once. Best in class refactoring for all of them. Handles the monorepo surprisingly well (Bazel is a big help here, too). I had to bump the m
