To make new friends, you should try to find an activity you enjoy and a group you can join regularly (e.g. a meetup). If the activities are weekly, one could be enough. If monthly, pick up a couple of different ones. Over months you end up

I have such fond memories of this game. The public lists of bugs were also fun. Like, you could break into a house by being killed, then being resurrected on the doorway. You could tame a pet, and ask it to fetch something from the roof of

GDPR aside, I had similar shock after getting a few million users for a viral language game, but finding that basically nobody was willing to sponsor it on Patreon, even to a level to cover the basic hosting costs. It was a little hard to p

I love the gradual typing approach, and have found it makes codebases better to maintain, even if some libraries like pandas are a total pain. My biggest gripe is the conflicting warnings between mypy and pyright. Language servers use pyrig

In Stoic virtue ethics, practical wisdom (phronesis) is the central virtue. But it doesn’t mean pursuing book knowledge, it means learning how to handle, think about and navigate all aspects of life well. In short, how to live “the kind of

On the flip side, when I first saw Ueno park I thought it was incredibly ugly and barren. Then when the cherry blossoms came it was completely transformed overnight. I didn’t stay through until Summer to see the full season, but the park de

When a cancer like this hits, there's a surprising amount of victim-blaming that goes on. People's fear of random events like this make them look for reasons why it hit you but could never happen to them, so they scour your person

Many people have mentioned Monica, which is what I use for this. I live overseas from loved ones and old friends, meaning there are few natural cues to encourage communication. Without very regular chats my memory doesn't let me be as

I would add that it’s fine to track something very important in an expensive and manual way, you can simply do it less often (e.g. weekly)

I also looked up recently and realized it had been ten years of doing something similar. It’s fun to see what we did differently. Your daily activity data is amazing I ended up moving towards the mental side, to see if I could measure aspec

Looks like this tool also includes a "time bar" view that's in fact what Hipmunk was based off. Also looks like they're building a successor to Hipmunk called Flight Penguin: https://flightpenguin.com/

Honestly, this stuff is hard. I understand this can be stressful, and a manager should never accidentally flag that they want a difficult and serious conversation by accident. Sometimes you need that conversation though, and foreshadowing i

If your job realised they had misevaluated you once you started working for them, they would let you go (if they’re professional). You should take the same attitude to them. If you had another offer or got close during your job hunt, consid

This seems just like an argument about who Github Issues are for. Are they a community support forum, or a workflow tool for maintainers? Surely in both cases, it's the maintainer's choice. Personally, I find stale bots are refres

Presumably shifting market prices of protein sources will change consumption patterns. But if people are priced out of eating as much meat as they’re used to, it breaks the mental model of continuously improving living standards, which migh

I would imagine not all technologies drop in price the same amount as production increases (the "learning rate"), and at some point there might be limits to how much cheaper something really gets to produce. The relevance relates

As an Australian who moved to Sweden, I was amazed at how efficient the Swedish income tax process was. The government already knew everything they needed to calculate your return, and gave it pre-filled. There were not endless exemptions.

Pay is loosely related to the value you provide, but also to the balance of supply and demand for a role and a place. You simply can't attract a person from a high cost-of-living place without paying them a higher salary. Companies exp
