I would love to have Wed/Fri as no meeting days, so I could choose which one to take off depending on how I’m feeling, what the current work streams look like, and personal plans. A three day weekend is great for a trip. Hump day off i

Just look at the various films that have been lost to fire over time. Of course with the old ones piracy wasn’t really an option. Digitization has its own issues as well.

They said their last shipment is a gift to the subscribers. They even had a signup period where they’d give you 10 of them, sadly I missed that email. Thanks spam!

I think GP meant “They shouldn't be done as a career by people with potential” I definitely fall prey to the line of thought but when I think again I realize that if they actually have potential, they will strive to meet it.

I see a lot of people downplaying the claimed downsides of “Meta/Google will just build their own app store and force you to use that” or that malware will proliferate via 3rd party app stores by saying “well nobody is going to make th

I haven’t fully jumped into home automation although I would like to and have thought about it for a while. I think I would only like to have things connected to an airgapped LAN that never connects to the internet. Maybe put it on my tai

I went from VSCode back to emacs. I just stick with most of the emacs defaults, although I’m sure you could find a package for VSCode defaults.

I really don't understand how gold/silver provide any protection beyond paper currency. What's stopping any government from just deciding that instead of two ingots, you owe them three now? They own the scales, they can put t

Thanks for taking time to write such detailed replies. I realize my reply was off the cuff; it's just astonishing that that much information was able to be absorbed and operationalized. Hats off to folks that were able to make it happe

If I ran a company where someone tried to release a 19K page spec I'd keep firing people until someone could produce a spec that I could actually review and sign off on, that could also still be reproduced in working technology. How do

It’s too bad they don’t do set “blocks” any more or you’d get a good double entendre with “blockchain”…

There's more to that quote if you click through to the source. Before it was this: “I want everybody who works hard and plays fair to prosper," Rowe said. "I want everybody to be able to support themselves. But if you just pu

Doesn't that mean that all code written so far can't take up newer versions of the Go compiler for any other reason like new features/bugfixes/optimizations/etc without a full audit of codepaths involving for loops?

I wonder if you add a text expansion for "good night" expanding to "good night" again if it fixes it?

So we agree there’s an absence of evidence then? The onus is on those claiming existence to present evidence.

You’re not wrong but what’s your point? Those people often create terrible policy. So… we are supposed to let conspiracists slide too because there’s this other group that also has problematic beliefs?
