Programming Scala is one of the best programming books I’ve ever read. Scala never stuck with me, but I’ve gone through the book a couple of times because it’s so well written and enjoyable to read.

This was a great blast from the past. A few friends of mine and I would write down instructions to draw crude pictures in Logo; the usual sorts of things you'd expect from kids (and one step away from calculator tricks that would resul

There were impacts to my mental acuity the day after that outweighed any benefit I felt I got. I will take an edible or vape something recreationally with friends occasionally, but it’s been quite rare the last few years.

I used to do this when going on long runs. The biggest quality of life improvement I found was that it was a lot less boring to run for 90 minutes. Perhaps because of that, those runs did tend to look better on paper. I always figured it wa

I've been using Zen for a couple of months now, and it's been really helpful in helping me stand up straight (I use a standing desk). Very unobtrusive and still works even though I'm on Zoom all day. The team is great too --

Really love this style of thinking. Tool building done well can have such a huge impact on everyone around you; especially if it’s easy to build good tools. We’ve been building something with this in mind; to try to make it way easier to fo

For teams that are concerned about whether their Slack is configured correctly, Abbot can be put into a waitlist mode where an administrator on the Abbot team has to explicitly approve any access. No matter how Abbot is configured, all comm

Mattermost has come up a couple of times recently. Along with Matrix, it's probably our top requested platform. Right now we're focused on improving the core platform, but the nice thing is when we add new platforms all the skills

Thanks Ian! That's great feedback, we should absolutely make more YouTube videos (we have a few here, but it's been a little bit since we've released a new one: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLs8WZvPC2qpBF

boto3 is available in Python skills too, so there's probably a shortcut there for you :)

We tried to buy their domain from them, but they haven't gotten back yet. I'm still hopeful :)

Hubot still has a special place in our heart. The only reason I ever learned Coffeescript was to build scripts for it. But I have definitely broken installs more than once. We tried to make Abbot very simple to run for exactly that reason!

Great question -- chat is a great interface for anything that falls out of the "easy to fully automate" category. As an example, we use continuous deployment internally; but there are times where we might want to deploy a branch t

My building has this (I’m in San Francisco). It’s been fine. It’s much better than risking packages being left outside the door, where they’re guaranteed to be stolen. The delivery person takes a photo of where they left the package and Ama

Release notes: https://tip.golang.org/doc/go1.17 Looks like a pretty minor release. Go 1.17 includes three small enhancements to the language: Conversions from slice to array pointer, unsafe.Add, unsafe.Slice

I use a similar system to the article, just a bunch of checkboxes and stars in my notes. At the end of every day, I review and make sure everything is up to date. A couple of times a week I'll do a deeper review and either do the thing

Everything about this is great. Over the past 15 years, I've tried to break my paper notebook addiction numerous times, and have failed every time. It took a year of interacting with people over screen only to realize why paper has wor

Yes, you're right. I forgot about this step because I also corebooted my Thinkpad and replaced the NIC at the same time as keyboard. For the keyboard, I used these instructions: https://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Insta

There are quite a few people who have done this (myself included). The process is pretty straightforward since they have nearly identical chassis. r/Thinkpad has a lot of details on how to do it. The toughest part is covering the right
