Yeah, in large projects that span a number of developers I agree with you. In a project that only I will ever touch? Like my personal blog? No way am I not going to reach for the most powerful featurea of a language. That sounds like exactl

We had this tropical storm in SoCal last weekend. It was confusing to see people crowing that they didn't suffer any damage as some sort of victory in being right (which is also confusing, because they were conflating awareness of the

I've used Python intermittently throughout my career but today it is my primary language. I've also never really had issues and have pretty much always stuck with the basics. I'm not on a very large team, though. Only 5 devel

I have a colleague who will wear noise cancelling headphones all day but will periodically take them off to disrupt someone else to ask a question he could Google. It's insane, I'm probably going to say something to him because he

Interesting. Where I grew up, rural Ohio, was a massive dairy farm where the milk was put into container ships and sent overseas to... Denmark.

Homes are still moving in my area of Orange county. Average home sale is > 2x what we paid in the first half of 2016. Jumbo loans at 7%. It truly blows my mind.

In my own situation, it's gone from "we're blessed" to "our kids generation is fucked " in the span of 5 years.

It's sort of a meme but I experience this pretty frequently with running. I've been a distance runner for over 30 years now but when I have a long run and I wake up and I'm just not feeling it, I will stare at my running shoe

Odd, we've had steady rain in south Orange county since around 5am. It was downpouring for about 30 minutes between 6 and 7am. It's slowed a bit now but it's still been raining nonstop.

It started raining in Orange county around 5am. I went out for a run at 6am and it started to downpour shortly after. It's slowed a bit now but it's been raining nonstop.

It could also potentially cause fires as cells spin off and lightning strikes hit areas that are at risk. IIRC this is how the fires at Big Basin SP started a couple years ago.

I really hope so. I also hope that we have better tools for remote collaboration in the future. IMO (I've worked remotely for well over a decade) the current stack of Zoom/Teams/Slack/Meet/Whatever are also dinosaur

My default response is, "Oh, you know." I never know if I mean it as a statement or a question. Send help.

I think it's less that people don't actually want to know than it is that people don't actually want to share. But I'm from the Midwest, originally, and that's just kind of how we are. Expanding on this just a littl

That's very interesting, thank you for the link. I've used Python since the 00s and I don't ever recall having come across sub-interpreters...

Yep, I have a very similar script in my home bin that I use for the same purpose. I've been using tmux this way for probably a decade at this point.

Tangential but it's not just Google. Firefox is my daily driver but I am routinely pushed into Chrome, especially for work-related things (janky ass third party sites, HR sites, etc.). Very frustrating experience!

I wonder if there's a service that could be created here, using AI to create sterile/whitewashed ghost accounts, and flood them all over social media, etc., for people so that the real, human identity is pushed down on the search

ArcLight in SoCal was the best movie viewing experience I've ever had. My wife and I, when we were dating, would go to opening nights probably a dozen times a year for different movies. It was 18+, reserved seating, and they had strict

I took a PTO day to see Oppenheimer mid-week. Another colleague did the same. We both have young kids, so getting to the movies is a heavy lift. We live pretty close to each other and there is a theater about a mile from my house. We decide

I don't know. I don't think people actually care. Maybe I'm a cynic, maybe I'm jaded. I've sat through a handful of interviews after submitting a resume with links to my GitHub profile, links to my (former) co-fou

I'll offer a perspective. I'm a father of 3 young kids (4 year old twins, 20 month old). I often find myself in situations where I also need my children to stop whatever they're currently doing and pay attention to me. You me

It's making blanket assumptions that a) the question asker knows better, and b) that no one bothered to think of any of this to begin with. That's not a functional way to approach organizational problems like teams building the wr
