This is great! I write a lot of one-off utilities that run on my main desktop as web applications backed by sqlite so you're really speaking my language here! I enjoyed the little bit of exposure that I had to Tcl/Tk through EXPEC

5. It ships with wide array developer tooling out of the box. You will not need to install an assortment of third-party programs to manage dependencies, refactor your code, view the docs, run tests, format, lint, run static analysis, check

I've been a happy synergy customer for about a decade now, I suppose but I didn't know about barrier. Thanks!

I've been running Arch on my 8th (or maybe 7th?) Generation ThinkPad X1C since I bought it in 2018. I've had no issues with multiple monitors, hibernate, etc. I never got the fingerprint reader working but I don't care to use

Thankfully we have options. I'm planning on moving my main desktop to Arch over my Christmas break from work. It's been a while since I ran Linux as my main desktop, my only complaints have been around gaming performance. I have a

Do we no longer advise people to maintain emergency funds, etc.? I don't feel comfortable, or maybe the word I am looking for is secure , without at least 6 months of expenses in a savings account.

I don't have much to add. I went through a similar process about a year ago. It was painful and annoying and despite the fact that it was not what I wanted to do I ended up with an Electron app. I'd also add that they're (Mic

They do. I personally know at least a dozen extremely talented software engineers who have left Blizzard alone for FAANG in the last 3 years. Could bump that up to a solid 2 dozen if we included Riot, and go back 5-7 years. edit/ These

Same here. I've gotten a lot of mileage out of my 7th generation X1C. Perhaps more than any laptop I've previously owned. I've had no problems with it whatsoever. I've been running Ubuntu on it since the day it arrived.

Appreciate the reply. I guess it's all perception. If I was in my 20s, I'd have the time and desire to dig into it and figure it out. Alas, I'm in my 40s and between work and family I just don't have the time for those t

My problem with evil is that I'm still inside of Emacs and I still need to know Emacs to be useful with it. If I am keen to become an evil user, what is my path forward? I've watched videos, read "tutorials," I've

I should've added that I was on the advanced track and was a year ahead of most of my peers, though we had full class of > 20 students (in a graduating class of, I wanna say, ~100-ish) who were in this track. IIRC, it was a toss up

Not the GP, but I also had a severe reaction to my second Moderna shot. All in all, I felt ill for 8-9 days. It was the most unusual illness I have ever felt, though I should say that I do not get sick very often. It started in my head and

My story is very similar to yours. As a result, I am also reluctant to get the booster because I do not have a support system whereby I can have another severe reaction that causes me to be incapable of helping the people who depend on me

Came to mention TB, as well. I've been running it for years (I originally learned about it from a HN comment) and believe that I will probably use it, or some variation of the protocols, for the rest of my life. That said, if I were ne

I'm curious about this, too. I wonder, does a more mild variant mean a reduced risk of long-term complications?

I don't have any dream recall whatsoever. I'm not sure if I ever did. I do believe that I dream but that belief is based on anecdotes from friends and family who have observed me while I am sleeping.

Don't lose hope! I linked this article in another comment in this thread. You may be surprised to learn that the co-founder of Pixar and many of the animators they surveyed internally also have aphantasia. [0] I have been learning how

I remember reading, when I first learned that I also had this weird thing people were calling "aphantasia," that Ed Catmull, a co-founder of Pixar, had aphantasia [0]. I took inspiration from that fact and I've since learned

I wouldn't know... I have aphantasia and sometimes I'm not even convinced that I even dream (I'm being facetious but at the same time I'm really not). Many others with aphantasia report similarly that they do not have re
