It was unclear to me from reading the article whether the thirty-two hour week is still in effect for employees or not. He's abandoned it, but has the rest of the company? It seems reasonable that a schedule that suits the deep focus a

Often! I journal daily and use a G2 0.38mm that's kept with it at all times. I'll go through two or three journals a year and three or four of the G2s. Once you get in the habit of keeping the pen clipped to the cover when it&#x27

It’s mainly due to the cost of spinning up subproccesses and certain FS operations on Windows. Magit spins up a bunch of git processes for certain operations and can be quite slow due to it. Look into fscache settings for a speedup

I commit dozens of times a day, make half a dozen branches, pick commits between them, and generally (ab)use git as a normal part of my workflow. I will generally push one or two of those commits in the end, typically a Frankenstein creatio

The videos touch upon a fraction of magit’s capabilities; if nothing else, it’s a far more mature project. But the real power is integration with the rest of emacs/being written in elisp. If I want to change or script behaviour, I have

If you're an emacs user, I can't recommend magit [1] enough. I was a diehard CLI user and had flags and aliases out the wazoo, and it was still a step change in usabilty and power for me. Staging hunks, rebasing, and stashing are

If you install bash-completion or use git-aliases [1], you can also get tab completion working for those aliased commands like so [2]. Lets you save some typing even when you need to pass a rarely used (or difficult to remember) flag. [1]:

My favourite part of interning at Google was learning that tickets for Sev0 globe-spanning outages and "the bathroom tiles are too shiny and let you see into other stalls" lived in the same issue tracker. When all you have is a ha

If, as GP stated, life experience was a significant factor in fostering the therapeutic relationship than older therapists with equal or lesser experience than their younger peers would have better results, though I agree that it likely is

Can you link to published research indicating that there is any correlation between therapist age and patient outcomes? Many people come to the helping professions later in life, and time spent practicing is the just about the only factor t

I am only familiar with the laws of OR, WA, MA, CA, and CO – the states where I'm considering doctoral programs – but "therapist" and "counsellor" are regulated and require one have a license to advertise with them.

A) With regard to "no standards of treatment", that is not the case, at least in the US. Licensing and professional bodies for both Masters-level clinicians (LPCs, LMHCs, MFTs, MSWs and others) and Doctorates (PhDs, PsyDs) effecti

This reminds me of a far better executed version of London's "Mole Man" [1]. I think it must've been linked on HN a few months back, but I can't find the link now. [1]: https://www.theguardian.com/s

Howard's blog and github are an amazing resource; I'm a huge fan of his demo-it package as well. Highly recommend checking it out if you ever give technical presentations or talks.

It was a quest called "A Falling Wizard"; the scroll was the "Scroll of Icarian Flight". I spent wayyyyy too many hours of my childhood playing Morrowing. There's a human speed run that relies on it for a blazing fa

emacs' org-mode / org-babel is well suited for it. This blog post [1] has some fantastic examples. The problem, of course, is that it's so closely tied to emacs. 1: http://howardism.org/Technical/Emacs&#x

Slashdot meta-moderation was fantastic for this. I'm curious why it never made an appearance elsewhere - it really was a great idea.

My bad. Forgot to fix that to 301 when moving stuff to S3/Cloudfront. The straight GH link someone linked down thread should work.

Hey Felix, any chance that that offer is open to researchers as well? One of the groups I'm involved with at UW needs a decent amount of compute power and would love to move some stuff off our homegrown cluster of spare hardware.
