This has all been a very personal thread My two cents are that I have hobbies and obsessions that fulfill me and can make me money. I’m keeping the work-life balance and slowly getting better at my hobbies. Hopefully, I’ll be able to retire

I’m very glad your mother in law has use for them. With that said, I don’t think these can replace phones until they’re quite a lot smaller and lighter. And to make it worse, you’d need at least two pairs - regular and sun. Possibly three i

i don't think it's honestly that startling. extrapolating that number gets you to a total of 323k deaths, probably under a percent of canada's complete population based on their 2021 census population of about 37 million. in

I can’t speak for anyone else, but it feels like there’s more to do. More to learn, to see, to visit, etc… When you’re ready, you’re ready, but people should have the option of continuing if they want.

In my mind, there are a number of instances online where people (read: men) are acting like entitled princes, and the one thing that gets them to back off is making their families aware of what's going on. Considering that these six ar

I've been taking glassblowing classes for a few years, and this is easily the biggest lesson there. If I rush something, I will fuck it up. If I let things happen bit by bit while they can go smoothly, everything comes out much easier.

I more meant that they probably have enough of the market now to stop collecting information. They can just charge their customers to access what's already there and offer a small discount if those customers contribute their new data

Sometimes it feels like the easiest way to make money with a new business today is to build something that helps another person make money. I'm sure it took work to build a database of rents in America for RealPage. But then they got c

Much more effectively, Velcro's been trying the same thing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rRi8LptvFZY It still won't work in the long run, but I'm very aware now that Velcro is a trademarked name.

Hi from Seattle. It's currently raining, and I wish I'd left my jacket at home. We get an almost constant drizzle of wet in winter. Once or twice a year, it'll rain for 48 hours straight and dump three inches of water on us,

Sorry, you're right, that wasn't clear. It isn't my job to remember the history of every request your team has ever submitted to my team. If you have a custom process that we don't know about or that your predecessor req

Clear boundaries are important too. It isn't my job, as an engineer, to remember everything you requested. It's also not my job to know exactly what your corner of a platform looks like. And it's especially not my job to nego

And then you have some poor suckers doing their damnedest to balance all the demands of all the middle managers who all want servicenow customizations on priority. Truly just a horrifying situation to be subjected to.

I think it's that second piece that's important about wfh. You need to take advantage of it to do more things. I could commute to the suburbs, or I could work from home and leave earlier to hang out with friends. Or I can go on a

I mean, as far as annoucements go, it's a pretty quiet one. We did this. We chose the obvious host. We like ordering commits chronologically, we came up with something for that. Ok bye.
