A lot of content creators put a lot of time and effort into making high-quality long-form videos. It's pretty reasonable that they might also want a way to quickly create a YT Short without spending even more time editing their origina

The article is confused and self-contradictory. It advises: 1. Punt on complexity 2. Plan for changing requirements Planning for changing requirements often introduces more complexity than not planning. That's the essence of

I can imagine that there's a major lack of flexibility inherent in a record-based filesystem. Nowadays we have file formats that introduce a record format on top of the "bag of bytes" for when you want records, but you aren&#

One of the biggest obstacles to any kind of mind-body practice is the sense that you NEED TO DO SOMETHING ELSE RIGHT NOW. It's a mental habit a lot of us build up over a life full of being busy with various tasks and concerns. The way

A side benefit of ZNC is that it makes setup on a new machine easy. I don't want to have to remember how to set up CertFP for OFTC, and with ZNC I don't need to.
