Hah! You beat me to it! I do agree with the overall sentiment however. I think it's important to see whether your relationship to a given social media is healthy or not. For me, my relationship to reddit, facebook, and twitter were unh

You don't need to, but you might want to. It'll make life more pleasant and less angry.

I've found that asdf has replaced a lot of my brew installs. It's great to be able to pin tool dependencies per project. I used, and liked, brew for a long time, but my tooling these days is almost entirely MacPorts, asdf-vm, and

I wouldn’t be surprised if Russia had encouraged the very unrest that made them worried and indebted. Not because Putin is a Bond villain super genius but just because encouraging chaos and unrest and then playing all sides of a conflict is

I don’t believe the OP was asking if people are doing things or if there are useful applications, but rather if there are useful applications that can only be done, or done better, in crypto.

This was a terrible, very nearly statistics-free article (beyond one hand-wavey figure about possible future migration by 2100). It had about as much relevance and impact as stating that mounting fears of dog bites cause some to rethink liv

> If "US training" is such a big deal, what the hell happened in Afghanistan? I think if anything Afghanistan shows the strengths of the US military in regime change. Where the US failed is where many empires fail, in long-term

I have a daily.org file I use to capture meeting notes and quick notes into. org-mode automatically keeps it organized as a datetree. I set all my other org files to archive into a subheader of the day it's archived (or done, for todos

I found it to be a bit of a chicken-and-egg problem. At the time I learned it, I didn't really understand why relational theory was important. I trusted that it was, I just didn't really grok all of it. But later I found it of imm

This is just what I’ve heard so take with a grain of salt, but as I understand it sqlite is “mostly” safe to use concurrently. There are situations where it doesn’t behave correctly under concurrent load, the one I’ve heard about being when

Some of his voters were sick of feeling like they were looked down on and treated like shit, a message that was repeatedly amplified and propagandized. It’s an important distinction. Perception is not reality. Are there “coastal elites” who

I mostly work the way you do, but still find explain helpful when my intuition fails. Most notably this usually happens when an index exists but the query manages to miss the index. Most often I experience this when it comes to dates and OR

While true, it's not the whole story. lambda is also approximately 1000x more expensive than EC2. So if your lambda is only running 0.1% of the time or less (12 seconds per every 3 hours 20 minutes) you break even. If it runs more than

Take a healthy variety of non-technical courses as well as your technical courses. They're both important. This is a good time to experiment with a variety of subjects and learn what you enjoy. It could also have a significant impact o

Nice explanation! I’d add some further reading and practical advice at the end, like using slots=True in dataclasses or attrs classes when higher performance and lower memory usage are required.

This is pure, unadulterated, user-hostile bullshit. I paid for Minecraft, not to be dicked around with login systems just because Microsoft bought Mojang and doesn't feel like doing their job. Apparently someone used my email address a

I've been interviewing for multiple companies at all scales for over a decade in the US. Hiring lawsuits just haven't been a factor. It was years ago, but I think I might have taken a half hour interview training session at a larg

The government didn't ask Spotify to censor Joe Rogan. The surgeon general didn't ask Spotify to censor Joe Rogan. Not even the extremely uncharitable, biased take in that trash you linked to goes so far as to claim that. If the

Whether someone is in a rut or not is a separate issue than whether they've worked with terraform. The key here isn't what technology they've used, it's a mindset towards automation. I recently came off a project that wa

Sounds more like experienced than cynical to me. In my experience, job descriptions and even the answers you get during interviews are not so much outright lies, as aspirational fabrications you have to take with a grain of salt.

Oh, thanks for the context! I never owned a Windows phone, I just played with ones other people had, same for Android. And from a total beginner perspective, Windows phone seemed a lot easier and more intuitive, but I can believe that with

It was pretty good. Seemed better than Android at the time. I'm not sure why Microsoft didn't put as much oomph into it as they did for, say, the Xbox, but if they had it might be a major player now.

I'm not sure why you don't think board game groups are a good idea. The attendees seem like a pretty good mix of people to me. When I first moved to my current city, I joined one, and met a couple who became some of my best friend

Jira isn't nearly as bad as it's made out to be, only because it's so, so, so much worse. It makes simple things obtuse and absurdly difficult, all in the name of flexibility that is more liability than feature. I hate Jira w
