you've seen this old article, right? https://www.bloomberg.com/features/2016-usps-email/ as the son of a (former) mailman, i would have loved an @usps.com email

TIL - this seems supremely messed up. If anything, they should count towards the place of their original residence.

If nothing else, I'm glad one of the great agrees with me that Socrates was a twat. My wife and I always argue about that, she loves Socrates and I find him utterly insufferable. Plato didn't do him any favors.

yeah, this is basically all i use Obsidian for... A daily note, with a bunch of checkbox items theres a plugin that automatically rolls every unchecked item into the next day's daily note. these two features fulfill 99% of my 'tod

My experience with LLMs in Rails has been... pretty bad. It isn't good at tracking 'context' (not in the technical token sense) and constantly gets lost in the sauce and doing weird stuff. Given Rail's maturity, i would

I love Rails Engines, it's a very slick feature. I recently migrated a featureset from one Rails project into another, as a mounted engine, and ensuring isolation (but not requiring it!) has been tremendously helpful.

I disagree with this statement, but I get what you're saying. Two communities with distinct cultures, whose membership nonetheless overlaps, are still two distinct cultures. They may influence each other through that overlapping member

this reminds me of something that happened to me just yesterday: i was at the playground, trying to convince my daughter to go down the slide on her own. She kept saying it was too scary, so I went down first to show her it wasnt scary. The

Not explicitly planning on it currently, but it is something that's in the back of my head. If denaturalizations do start happening, we would have a frank conversation about what to do. I don't know that we would stay in America.

what's funny is that I have had good experience using the opposite workflow as said coworker Do implementation with minimal (not none, tbf) AI support, ask copilot if there are any obvious issues with and otherwise check my work. This

My wife is a naturalized citizen (and a brown one with a muslim name, at that)), and to be perfectly honest I'm no longer confident this admin won't start looking into denaturalizating people like her, for no reason except their e

Wow, the comments on this thread are much more divisive than I thought. I've always felt that the 'there are only two internet cultures: 4chan and tumblr' has felt somewhat accurate. Unfortunately moreso now that /pol&#x

/pol/ and /b/ were containment boards, up until they got so popular that everything else ended up being containment boards. I still miss hanging out on /v/ and /fa/. When they split /vg/ out

My daughter has a number of stuffed animals, and she's attached to one in particular named Eloise. Often, when we're having trouble persuading her to do something, I can tell her Eloise wants to do that thing. I'll use teeth

i dont think this is always true. sometimes the chain of logic and premise is grounded in a different ontology entirely (this is what i am referring to as 'toddler logic' for shorthand). this doesn't invalidate the conclusion

anybody who has spent time with kids can attest to this i have a 2.5 year old and its extremely interesting just how much her thinking is clearly 'logical', but it operates in what i like to call 'toddler logic'. If you

this is definitely true for genre fiction, especially when pulp magazines were still in business. That doesn't preclude quality from coming out of it eventually - one of my favorite examples is Walter Miller's 'Canticle for L

Gotta pick the right environment+tree combination. You could always settle in the Mojave, plant a grove of bristlecone pines instead. I don't know if more boreal climates support longevity, I think it has to be some combination of temp

Elon's strong legacy is imo masking a mental decline. People are excusing behavior on his part because of what he's built in the past but imo its not so simple. Differentiating between 5d chess and delusional behavior is not easy.

This is a pretty vague article - it doesn't mention names, institutions, or even where this evidence was discovered. I did a quick search, and found a couple other articles that expound on the details. https://www.cnn.com&#x

I understand the appeal of serverless, especially for small stuff (we have a few serverless projects at work, and I've built some hobby projects using Lambda), but ime DevEx is such a dealbreaker. Testing changes or debugging an issue?
