You don't have to use the company name in the email address, just use a unique email. If you start getting spam on a certain email address, search your email archives to see what company was associated with that address to link it back

I don't program professionally, and I struggle with dicts and classes. On one hand, I want to avoid the Java world of needing to learn 8 new classes to use any library. So dicts are lightweight and extensible and feel like the modern w

My guess would be that ads are incompatible with white noise use cases. If the white noise “podcast” inserted ads, I would guess that people would find a different place to get white noise.

Can you use iSH to do the standard dev stuff like rename files on the host system? I think vim even works in it, so there’s a text editor too!

Well, he’s Catholic and I think the Catholic Church has specific rites that must be performed even to call a building a church. So really he just built a really cool building inspired by his faith.

Off topic, but this caught my attention: “In future work we will explore a framework for responsible externalization that balances the value of external auditing with the risks of unrestricted open-access.” I work for a big org myself, and

Is it really that hard to defend a peg? As long as you don’t spend the money people give you, you’ll have 1:1 dollars to stable coin. Then you can earn interest on the dollars.

It works with humans when they don’t need to constantly run a consensus algorithm (like agreeing on a problem or understanding the team’s relationship with externals.) An assembly line of 3 people will probably be >3 times faster than a

It’s different than grocery stores and plumbers I think because roads are seen as a public good, and if they’re using space in a crowded city, that space was/is also a public resource. Since everyone contributes their individual sovere

On the plus side, if you are successful switching to software development, having a background as a practicing nurse will allow you to pretty much write your own paycheck if you’re willing to work in medical software.

It’s been mentioned earlier in this thread, but base16 is basically that. I use it, and it’s ok! After setting up a program to support base16, you can just type > base16-manager set nord to use the nord theme on all programs. http:/

Funny enough, for jobs that do schedule around sunrise/sunset (like flying), DST is even more disruptive. Perhaps you used to get a sandwich after your day flight but when DST starts, everything suddenly closes an hour earlier!

I was on on a US Navy ship, and the main display clock in combat control had two times - Zulu and a local time adjustable by an hour offset. This was obviously terrible... when we docked off India we had no way to set the correct time!

That’s true, I guess I think bad explanations of good rules are insidious: they alienate kids and create an us-vs-them mentality. If parents stay up late but don’t allow their kids to stay up late, it seems like parents are entitled and eve

An increasing population wouldn’t need more gold, gold (and money backed by it) would just become more valuable, right? Or, in other words, prices would drop and there would be deflation, for better or for worse.
