You don't even need to do that. You can just put each set of repos in a directory on a per-account basis and set up git-configs for each. The top of my `.gitconfig` looks like [includeIf "gitdir:~/Work/"]

McMaster-Carr's website is actually pretty impressive given how unassuming it is. It does a ton of pre-loading on hover and caching to make it feel like you're just navigating a static site. I didn't even realize that the pag

During undergrad/grad school it was always whatever free stickers were available at hackathons. Now I usually just put 1 or 2 unique stickers to distinguish my MBP from others. Currently rocking one that's an illustration that my

Thanks! I've been looking for a while but couldn't find one that was in decent shape for less than $10k. Thankfully for some reason people shy away from RHD cars and I snagged a 1990 Eunos Roadster for $7700 on C&B. I'm i

At the moment, I find them to be the perfect tool to get started with learning about something. I don't expect it to tell me everything I need to know or to even be right, but if I ask ChatGPT or another LLM a question about a subject

Weight is not the only thing that matters though. You also need to consider center of gravity and wheel base. A YJ Jeep Wrangler and a Honda Fit both weigh around 2700 lbs and they even have similar wheel bases but the driving experience be

I'm using Chipotle's nutrition calculator ( https://www.chipotle.com/nutrition-calculator/burrito ) to get the nutrition info. That may be off but probably not by more than 10%. If you're only getting 30g

I wouldn't really call it ripping me off if that's what they need to set their prices at in order to survive. NJ is an expensive state so it's not really surprising. I was just using a couple of the closest places to me in th

Do you live in NYC or SF? I just did a quick scan of prices before taxes for different high cost of living areas and those are the 2 that are above $10. They list the chicken serving as 32g of protein, 8 comes from the tortilla, 4 come from

It's strange to me to see Chipotle as the face of this. You can still get a chicken burrito which has 60g of protein and 1000 calories for just about $10. In my opinion, the only issue with their food is that the sodium is a bit high w

Fivetran isn't really much of a transformation layer so this is likely just a move to lock-in customers of both companies by upselling an ingestion/transformation layer to existing customers. The bigger question mark to me is that

As always, moderation is important for any normal person. I think that applies to minimalism as well. Use it to cut unnecessary stuff out of your life, but unless you're some outlier then it's probably not good to try and live the

One pedal driving means you can come to a full stop and start accelerating again with a single pedal. You can certainly come to a full stop in a manual transmission car without touching the brake pedal or clutch but the engine will stall an

It's done sparingly. If you search for "data center waste heat uses" you'll find cases like you mention [1] [2] but the ROI on implementing it seems to be lower than renewable energy infrastructure. [1] https:/&#x2
