   uMatrix is better than nothing but I want more micromanagement. I want to be able to block on a per script basis because some sites will load 49 scripts from some other domain and only 1 or 2 will actually be needed to make the page work pr

   The solution might be not to increase the number of things that define you, but to sublimate your ego (used loosely here to define what you “believe” yourself to be) into larger circles of identification. For example, a (wo)man (I’ll be usi

   I eventually moved away from vscode vim to nvim + lsp because the bindings weren’t good enough. Small things added up enough to just jar me enough that it wasn’t worth it. Maybe I’ll jump in there again when I need to refactor something in

    On this point, > But for me, I think a couple of quality books per month is already a ton of good input, and I hope people don’t get caught up in “# books read” as another metric to simply pump up. Schopenhauer puts it well: "As the

    It seems that as emotions become more subtle and deep, is is harder to express them. Think of the love between an old couple and a bunch of newly weds who can’t stop repeating “I love you” to each other...eventually there seems to be a poin

    I think this points to the conclusion that you can literally enjoy anything if you contact it repeatedly with the right attitude.

    Tried to get into it. Docs are poor, not many tutorials about Frappe in real life situations. Lots of marketing hyperbole which puts me off.
