I find the voices used in both quite terrible. I quite like Sam Harris's voice and so I got his app. His actual voice is just endlessly zen, so when he's really trying to be soothing and calm in a guided meditation. It's jus

I use TortoiseHg for Hg. Source Tree for git (though I honestly don't like it very much, and often use hg-git to just work with git from TortoiseHg). Sublime for text editing; and agreed on the multiple cursors and great regexing - f

Even now, when it's <40f and 29f in the morning, I am doing my 3 mile commute both ways on my ebike. Its a fun quick ride that gets the blood pumping in the morning.

We just wrote our own on top of Sql Server. Runs fine for thousands of accounts with many events per day. We currently host it on the smallest azure sql scale level. We have virtually unlimited scaling with azure, and should have no prob

Parent comment mentioned credit card points. I technically get points, but I just immediately convert them into money.

I only do cashback. I currently get anywhere from 1.5 to 5% off of anything I buy via cash back. I don't think about it until I go to pay my credit card bill, then I just use the points to take the balance down the 5%

He was specifically talking about kids interested in computers. I had knowledge of this things with my first IBM clone as a small child, maybe 3-5 years old. I knew how to insert my game discs, navigate between directories, list the conte

Same for rimworld, though I'm not quite sure as to what extent.

We can do this via the store's aforementioned failure reporting. I guess it could be better? I prefer to have a log of all messages since forever, as in Event Sourcing. Seems like that is more trouble than it's worth to try to m

Exactly. We created our own even store on top of a SQL database. It's quite simple to do, and it is blazing fast because it is custom built for our use case. It's an append log of every event, their time, their type, and some o

We do our "serverless" using the self-hosted version of Azure Functions - Azure Webjobs. For most of the events we can scale out to 32 beefy machines. We also don't use graph SQL, preferring simple rest endpoints made in We

That's a really strange viewpoint to me. By that logic we shouldn't really care about most things because of what they once were. The U.S. because it was an up-jumped violent militia. Linux because it was some Finnish dude's

Just look at Elite Dangerous or Rim World. Amazing, fantastic games that started off very primitive, with the core of the gameplay at least prototyped. And now, a couple to a few times a year, in both games, we get an update that makes it

I do IF. I bike to work each day and work out in a gym irregularly. I have either 1 large meal or 2 small meals in a feeding window each day. I will eat right after cycling in the morning, or right after working out. I don't usuall

It's common for me to find stuff not on spotify, but I'm into some really niche stuff from the 90's and 00's that just didn't have a big following. I'm also into less mainstream stuff and do get good value out

Better discussion can typically be had on community engines than specialized forums these days, unless they are large and have a decently long history, e.g. bodybuilding.com, honda-tech.com, etc. I'd guess most discussion in such place

I would absolutely say the top. They started meme culture, which has absolutely taken over most of the social media sites. /pol/ started the extreme Trump support, and made supporting him fun and memey, ultimately leading to &#x2

This reminds me of a research project I did in high school. I was using a handful of Rhizobia species and a number of nutrients, attempting to find some non-nitrogen and non-root nodule substance which could promote Rhizobia growth in soil

The third definition in MW: : an extremely thin and usually young woman. Waifish is almost always used with this definition from my experience. I'd even argue the first 2 definitions are archaic at this point.

I've somehow managed to work at 3 companies in a row that use Hg. I don't think it's rare at all, or maybe I'm a statistical anamoly.

I bought an e-bike. Because I can keep up with car traffic on most roads within the city, I am usually in the far right lane of the road and haven't had any problems really. You do have to be extra careful when changing lanes though

Still no Mercurial. yawn Really sucks to see Microsoft giving up on us Hg users, considering it was the only viable DVCS on windows for years until people finally got git working with a bunch of issues.

SPOILER! It's also a rather minor plot point in The Expanse series' 4th Novel, Cibola Burn. Some of the life on a new planet is bi-chiral, meaning it integrates both handednesses of proteins, amino acids, RNA bases and backbones,
