Wezterm has more features and for me being written entirely in Rust made it easy to send a bug fix patch. Kitty however seems to have a noticeably lower latency at least on mac.

I chose WezTerm because Altacritty is optimized for dumping large amounts of text to the terminal which is something I don't care much about. There are a lot of other terminal emulators that have lower latency for just normal typing, e

Football making lots of money is a myth because there are many hidden costs. A big one is the cost of the stadium and this comes out of a different budget (sometimes student fees). Not saying that there aren't some schools coming out a

The YoLink products use LoRa for home automation. I am quite happy using their water leak sensors now. You don't need the quarter mile range, but they communicate with low power successfully in situations where higher frequencies migh

I like this take a lot. But for me notes don't exist in just a single browser or even a single computer. The notes need to be well synced. Using a single plain text file actually works against that (because you are more likely to end u

I just started using the newer Phillips Wiz. It’s trivial to override the automated rhythm in the app. Normally $12-15. Black Friday sale $7/bulb but still might be available at Home Depot for $10/bulb.

For me an open unpinned tab is either a TODO or unorganized information. The way to close it is to write down notes about it or turn it into a TODO.

Not all mechanical keyboards are loud. I have used fairly quiet cherry brown switches that nobody seemed to mind in my office settings. And not all require as much key travel and force. I am using louder and heavier keys now and I do agree

I don't think anything they said stopped people from trying to purchase masks. Certainly a majority of the population decided not to, but very quickly all masks that were available to the public were bought. In the end they had to cont

To figure out what has worked univerally for kids, I recommend the book Hunt, Gather, Parent. However, there is a gap between applying what worked universally for thousands of years to our modern world. I think the linked article is a nice

For the last few weeks I have been successfully blocking time wasters via DNS using nextdns.io. The nice thing about this is that you can't get around it by altering anything that you are doing on your computer other than changing DNS

In 99% of the news headlines you hear about the underlying study does not contain causal evidence in humans. It is almost always correlational in humans or a mouse model. So yes. Generally weak evidence that can conform to some existing vie

Sure, just like you don’t have to use SQL. JSONiq is strongly typed, so only the strongly typed languages are equivalent. The point of this project, like SQL, is to have something programming language agnostic that can be understood and opt

This is a political narrative pushed by the drug companies and the CDC among others but is contrary to the science. Here’s an article with greater detail: https://chrismasterjohnphd.com/blog/2021/11/01/th

If you want to a deeper dive on some of these recent studies showing the waning effect of the vaccines, Chris Martenson did a video on a couple yesterday: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gnB8Tep92Us The main conclusions fro

Vaccine efficacy is against severe COVID illness, not against transmission. The vaccine is still effective, although recent studies indicate that after 6 months it may only be 50% effective against severe illness (this will vary tremendousl

I like to do this with a checklist. In Confluence you can clone the checklist page for the onboarding/release, etc and check off the cloned page. Confluence is wiki-style (edit first, ask questions later), but I could definitely see gi

The best setup I ever had going was cuelang (strongly-typed, JSON-like) compiling down to JSON or YAML as needed. Using strongly typed programming languages (like how Pulumi uses TypeScript) also works well.

If I think of PG's accomplishments they could be characterized as "discovering things which are new" to him, but also characterized as taking ideas that were cutting edge, uncommon, or out of favor and bringing them to fruiti

How much does that actually effect Tahoe? I Would assume that an alpine outflow is always taking the maximum amount of water that it can regardless of downstream usage. And that it only matters if alterations are made to outflows or if othe

Tahoe is relatively protected from water diversion because it is up high in the mountains: there isn't that much agriculture to divert water for and there isn't a large population either. The water problems of California are mostl

At this point I think things are quite stable? I just use a one line config that selects the gnome integration. Always worked great for me on Ubuntu. I think there is little reason for most to do much configuration of XMonad.

Disclaimer: I work for PingCAP. That benchmark didn't compare to TiKV. We generally avoid making such comparisions not because our competitors are better but because we know we will always have difficulty fairly benchmarking. Instead w

Bitcoin is a self custody asset just like gold, and IMHO that and it's de-centralized exchange is actually where all the value comes from if it has any. People do own gold and store it on their own property as well. Gold owners also us

In theory scaling the NewSQL system means just adding a new node. In practice the manually partitioned system may perform better but it’s actually due to trade offs that lower availability. In either case you have some metadata helping to d

Normally a head-to-head comparison isn't properly done unless a company has already adopted Vitess and is looking to switch from that to a NewSQL database. Deploying a new database at scale is a lot of work. It's often the case th
