Good riddance! I’m optimistic that these guys will transform the typing landscape, which, let’s be honest, has room for improvement. I find mypy abysmal to use, bug-ridden with weird defaults, and extremely painful to add to an existing cod

Similar for me, I thought I would start feeling better after my CPAP. Still had terrible sleep. Still experimenting with solutions (issues started after Covid vax, so I’m experimenting with long Covid protocols and have noticed much better

Well, if you’ve played games, there’s definitely a thrill you get from farming or playing the economy for its own sake, much past the extent needed for personal use of the currency gained

Yep, techs obsession with remote work is myopic in my opinion.

Eh honestly I found it super cumbersome to use after coming from Sequel Pro (mysql), never really found a better alternative for Postgres though. Perhaps I would use Navicat

I took antibiotics more than 2 years ago and after about 4 days I was a wreck. I was anxiety riddled for a bit over a year. Thankfully, I feel normal again! But yea, scary stuff.

Not in my experience. I was using a Dell work laptop recently and decided to use Linux instead of windows. Once I got things working mostly to my liking, I updated the GPU drivers and got a kernel panic. I’m lucky to be tech savvy so I can

Canola oil as far as I know is the most refined oil on the market. One of the processing steps adds trans fats, and another adds synthetic antioxidants because of the naturally low saturated fat content. You may be fine betting your health

It appears I’m one of the very few happy about this change. I miss my colleagues at work and having fun discussions about programming, investing, podcasts. I miss the adhoc discussions about a problem someone was encountering and helping th

Hey I read your notes on Dr. Yapko's lecture on depression which led me to watch the lecture and I found it immensely helpful. Do you have any other resources you would recommend?

It’s funny, I’ve always heard great things about Meditations but I found it to be one of the least approachable books on stoicism. Perhaps I didn’t like the terse note format. On the other hand Seneca’s letters are extraordinary
