Ay, I'm just discovering this now. It's hard to give up my identity as a dev. Especially since I've been working as a solo freelance dev and moving into managing teams feels like I'm leaving my main monetizable skill beh

> It takes time, practice, and effort. In that sense it is actually hard work; not 'relaxing'. I like this :) I think of it as furious concentration on stillness. Beginner meditators often think they're not cut out for med

That's an excellent writeup. The site seems to be devoted to old Hollywood, and has long, deep analyses of films and the people involved in them. So good to see long-form content that's written for no reason other than a passion f

Ugh, I lost my YouTube channel when I upgraded a personal address to GSuite. It wasn't a huge channel so I shrugged and got to work uploading videos again, but just so frustrating.

Thoughts that have buoyed me: - I'm not 'normal'. Expecting life to proceed 'normally' doesn't make sense for me. - Other people's expectations are none of my business (related to marriage, property owners

I've never been a black/white thinker, but I got a big dose of "you're no good" in my childhood, which led to chronic self-criticism. I finally left that behind around age 40, mostly from just being worn out by it I

It's less useful now than it used to be. In an age of ubiquitous JSON there's much less need for sending Java objects over the wire.

Whoa, flashbacks! One of my first jobs as a grad was to build a telnet interface into a PB app. Fun times.

There's a big spoken-word scene in most major metro areas. Obviously related, among the dross, hiphop has some excellent writing. Let's celebrate a return of poetry as performance, instead of a purely written form.

We were taught "one entry, one exit". I now think of the early part of a function as a filter for bad params, invalid state & whatnot, and return as early as possible. Code just feels less complex that way.

This is a great piece; for some reason I love 'war' stories about mega-long trail runs. But the best thing about this story is the power of a super-supportive family.

> Most modern pens are very low maintenance. And very forgiving. I dragged out a Pelikan I hadn't used in a couple years and found it was half-full of ink, dried ink all over the nib. Gave it a quick wipe, worked perfectly.

Just want to say I'm so happy to see other fountain-pen users here on HN. There isn't a single other person in my life who uses them.

Surprised by Korean being in the hardest category - I've learnt Korean & Spanish to a similar level, and found them about the same.

Thanks. Amazing stats in the Slate article. And the Adam Orth example in particular has strong parallels with high-profile examples of attacks on women. Given the level of heat these discussions arouse, I understand the comments re modding
