Heh, more interesting facets as a person is a good way of looking at it. I once had a neighbor address me as, “You’re IT, right?” (She had WiFi questions.) Yes, that is my identity. Nurses and schedulers always apologize because their syste

Yep. I tried Groove when I first upgraded to Windows 10, but at that time it didn't deal well mp3 files on my NAS. Windows Media Player has worked flawlessly and I use it every week.

Naturally. Portfolios are the reason I use the product. They give you a quick view of each symbol on the right at finance.google.com, a link to chart each symbol, and the ability to chart the portfolio as a whole. It was all convenient and

I use orgmode for all my notes and productivity system and can't remember ever writing a link manually in orgmode. These two shortcuts are essential. I assume similar exist for markdown and I need to learn them.

Great examples of power features. When we started using markdown for work, I was surprised that tables were kind of a pain and pandoc's recommendation was to use Emacs and org-table.

I agree, and I'll probably never be able to shake Emacs because of my reliance on orgmode. I wouldn't leave and write markdown in another editor without many orgmode features. In fact, Emacs markdown-mode has a lot of the same fea

Interesting question. I work three hours ahead of most people in my company, so I take the offline time I can get in the morning and make myself available the rest of the day. Something like that may work for a morning person in an office,

I second the disclaimer. The hourly path for money is fine, or also consider a hard focused normal work week followed by the same level of focus on complementary tasks on the weekend or evenings, such as a side project, open source contribu

I read this as a single article distillation of the principles in Deep Work by Cal Newport, very well done. It's been a while since I read Pragmatic Thinking and Learning by Andy Hunt, but the article feels familiar with that, as well

Ugh. Possum stench is unreal. We already had a possum get in the cat house when we were on vacation and the cat food was left out each night. For now the cat house is put away and we are sure to bring the food in at dark. I'm not looki

It also depends on the species and flow rate. IIRC rodents handle CO2 ok but rabbits are very aversive. From https://research.utexas.edu/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2015/... : The 2013 edition of

Looks like there is a path hardcoded in the build files causing problems. After some reflection on the msvc/README, renaming the project directory to libzmq (was: zeromq-4.2.2 from the release or libzmq-master from github zip download)

That is troubling. I always thought of zeromq as having as good Windows support as anything not written exclusively for Windows.

Thanks for the tip. In which language(s) do you use CBOR? I want to like it, but the various C APIs look a bit cumbersome and lacking docs.

The word "manage" has to go, but it's a tough one. Any word having to do with augmentation is too robot/AI sounding. I like the idea of "cultivating," as in the Dale Carnegie approach or the another commenter&#
