Sorry to hear. I hope you'll get past that fear one day and discover how rich your life can be without work filling most of your days and taking up most of it (potentially for someone else's profit.)

I do think so as well. "But what would I do with all this time?"... I find this so sad.

The answer differs whether you answer it selfishly or with the greater good in mind (resource use/waste, pollution, etc)

If only we did the same with other work, we’d also all only be working a few hours a day rather than 8–9 still.

How do you tell of something has added sugars or not? The nutritional facts all lump it under “carbohydrates, of which sugars” without making a distinction between added sugar and the sugar that comes with the ingredients.

To illustrate this point, here is how to have a multi line value in yaml: just kidding, it’s so confusing that there is a whole website to help you figure it out: https://yaml-multiline.info/

That’s a peculiar fact, I wonder where that originated.

Russell was quite critical of Marxism afaik. He admires some things about Soviet Russia but certainly not all of it. I don’t think he says we should aspire to emulate Soviet Russia for the most last.

I guess programming itself isn’t absurd in the same sense that law isn’t absurd if you look at it through the lens of logic. But that’s only a very tiny part of the art… what breaks the camel’s back for many of us is all the BS around it co

Either way, we treat most of animals as if they weren’t either.

Ansible is useful but so confusin (to me anyway). The way I see roles vs playbooks is whether I’m going to reuse it or not. Roles are more generic playbooks in a sense that I can share with others or across deployments (for example setup a

I use pyinfra through molecule for testing sensible roles, it’s made it possible to have a process resembling TDD and have automated tests for my roles and playbooks. I actually don’t know how else to do it than with molecule and pyinfra, b

Not in my experience. Windows also sets it wrong by default, I can’t remember about Ubuntu with the default DE but I think it also sets it wrong if you’re using a trackpad.

I suspect that’s also why the default for scrolling on computers is now the inverse of what it’s ever been. The default is that you’re grabbing the document and pulling it up to scroll down whereas those of us who grew up before smart phone

The HN-crowd tends to be more demanding and sometimes ahead of the curve, but it's a general trend. I also wonder how much people enjoy using Google vs suffers through it because they don't know any alternatives. I remember readin

Lenovo has been tarnishing the think pad brand for several years now, pushing plastic junk that also has the thinkpad branding. It’s not enough to stick to thinkpad anymore, which thinkpad matters. Ditto HP. Their machines are… not great
