Works 100% of the time: Extend hand for a handshake. Hey, I'm [name]. We've met before but it's been a while. First, it lets the other person off the hook, because they're almost certainly experiencing the same momenta

I really, really notice mine when meditating. You’re in a quiet room. You pause to listen to the sounds around you. You most loudly hear “eeeeeeeeeeee”. For myself , I noticed that observing it cheerfully, like “oh, hey, little whining sou

That’s a pretty sweet gate! How long you been keeping it?

I have a keyboard macro set up so typing “—-<space>” yields “—”. I set this up like a decade ago and it’s just habit now.

I agree, especially mentioning the compressor as being some ignore-worthy issue. I can imagine the owner saying something like “this is a desert and that unit’s designed to be powered on continuously, and when you flat-out turn the thing of

Or at least competent, if not great. I mentioned in another comment that I switched to a Supernote. Its own reader isn’t fantastic. My Kobo is better for that. But it’s fine as a reader if it’s the only tablet-sized device I have with me

Well, nonetheless, those missing features and a thousand other papercuts led me to send it back and upgrade to a Supernote. It’s not perfect, but hasn’t deliberately kneecapped itself with some purity vision that just makes it frustrating t

I’ve heard this excuse for it plenty of times, and it rings hollow and/or Stockholm syndrome. People (rightfully) made fun of Apple for not including a calculator on iPadOS for the longest time. Imagine Apple claiming “we never adverti

I fully agree. That’s how you own a mistake.

Examples: it sucks as an ereader, even though the hardware is super capable of it. It doesn’t have a built-in dictionary to look up words or check spelling. You can’t make links between documents or to different pages in the current documen

Venting and talking to a counselor aren’t the same thing, though. If someone says “taking medicine is bad”, and I say “that’s silly”, then “smoking crack can be harmful” doesn’t weaken my position.

More like: extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. That wild claim needs some backing, lest we all be justified in making fun of it.

LOL, I’d love to see that peer reviewed paper. Which one are you citing?

In Python, that less hazardous string concatenation operator is an f-string.

I feel ya. I don’t write a lot of it anymore, but have written probably hundreds of thousands of lines over the years. It has a few rough edges, but over all it’s solid and I’ve used it to make lots things I’m proud of.

Huh. My memory's slightly different on that, but I can't find the source to cite so I'm can't argue it.

D'oh! Yes, Offut, of course. My Google-fu is failing me right now, but when we lived in Nebraska, there was a long article in the Omaha World-Herald (I'm fairly sure) talking about the mental health problems of the local drone p

This was a big thing for drone people based out of Eppley AFB in Omaha. Wake up, drive to work, attack enemies, drive home, sit there eating dinner with your family trying to pretend you didn’t kill someone and can’t talk about it. Combat t

Fortunately, they tend to be muted faster than on a lot of other sites. Turn on showdead and you can see a bunch of jerks complaining about censorship after their awful opinions get moderated.

Go ahead and say “black people” if that’s what you mean. No, this absolutely does not make sense, anywhere, for any “demographic”, and you should be ashamed for even saying that.

There was something about the shebang method that made someone else that I wanted to use not work but I forget the details. In any case, just is very nice — I just like mise more at the moment. The own-file bit comes in nice when you want t

One issue with Just is that by default each line in a recipe is executed in a sub shell. Set a variable in line 1 and you can’t use it in line 2. Mise `run` blocks are embedded shell scripts. Alternatively, you can pull those scripts out in

And then AMD64 came along and we immediately moved to 8GB servers, taking away the only real Itanium advantage.

What in terminal ads do you mean? I don’t recall ever seeing an ad of any kind in mise. Not saying you’re wrong, just that our experiences are different here.
