That is what I am saying. If I take a nap I will stay up a minimum 2 hours later. Not by choice, but by simply not being tired. I will say that before I got on CPAP I could nap and also go to bed at my normal time, but now that I have highe

Is staying up until 2am and having a disrupted sleep cycle good for your brain? Based on my own experience I would say not.

Terrible, racist, ageist attitude. Hiring people for some superficial attribute is just as bad as not hiring them. It’s dumb.

Some organizations have the opposite problem. The culture has a baked in assumption of things going sideways and taking forever. Under such circumstances there is a learned helplessness and unwillingness to even try that is soul crushing. I

The fact that this indistinguishable from satire is an incredible feat. Very well done.

I’m not giving up my Coke Zero. It’s an indulgence that I can live with long term. Unlike alcohol, donuts, pizza, and all the other shit that I enjoy but have to severely restrict.

Blowing people up is wrong. But his manifesto was right about many things. It’s interesting to skim through it every couple years.

I disagree. It’s another pathological behavior. In many of these cases you are taking your problem, something you have no use for, and turning it into someone else's problem. My wife and sister in law are terrible about this. Rather th

In a way I admire committed minimalists. But I often wonder what their long term lifestyle is like. Surely many of them are single (or they only count the items which are solely theirs). They surely rent at a higher rate than own property.

Therein is the kernel of every hoarder pathology, which is ironic. “This is too <whatever> to get rid of!” Wrong. Throw it away and don’t replace it.

Google and search in general is definitely worse than 10 years ago. It seems like I can’t find anything useful now. Years ago a few searches could turn up very arcane and niche data. Nowadays it’s like it never even existed.

It would be nice if all software were simple, elegant, and minimal. But I don’t know why we should expect it to be. The hardware that runs the software is complicated on a whole other level. You want and simple, elegant and minimal cpu? Vid

That’s sad and hilarious. Geotextile fabric is so cheap and adds so much longevity to these type of projects.

There are a lot of parallels with modern hardscape construction. Nowadays many builders grade the soil base, add a woven stabilization fabric, then add clean angular stone, and finish with a finer angular stone on top. I wonder if railroads

People desperately need to keep this grift going. They have enjoyed the billions invested up to this point, and do not want that money to stop.

No, not for any length of time. I prefer having a desktop app, and Dash 4 still works for me, so I have not had a reason to switch... yet.

I still use dash 4. The newer versions removed the explorer tree and I don’t see any way to get it back. I feel like they make newer, worse versions, for the sake of selling upgrade licenses.

Is there anything more pathetic than the internecine fighting of a bunch of nerds? The level of emotional maturity and “life experience” on display is of a 15 year old level, at best. The fact that this is still going for many days after th

It’s a great program. My son loves the books and I have to admit I look forward to taking him to the mailbox to check and see if one came. Many of the books are printed in a lower cost format specifically for the program. These editions hav

You seriously want to toss out travel spending as an indicator of how well things are going for the general population? Travel is a luxury, and rich people are not hurting yet. The people at the bottom of the economy ,your average walmart a

Their plan to curtail inflation has always been demand destruction. Which means callous layoffs, unemployment, and misery for the workforce. We are just now seeing the effects, so expect it to get worse from here. We are a few more earnings

The demand for shipping containers is driven by demand for goods which is driven by consumption which is declining because people do not have the money for imported goods. Many people are struggling just to make rent and put food on the tab

No, it means you can ship cheap trash from point A to point B, but people on either end will be too poor to buy it.

When I was just out of school a couple years my boss quit and the company I worked for decided it would be good for me to manage a team of 5 developers. At the time I thought I did an OK job, but in retrospect I realize that there was no wa
