I worked as a cook for years while I was younger. There was always a radio on (this is like 1980s-90s). Typical blue collar environment with tons of noise from machinery, raucous people, and the radio. While doing prep work for the next mea

This is why I use Git for this (running MGit on my Android phone). It's really not a huge hassle to do this manually once a day or so (maybe more if I'm doing some out of band stuff).

They might have determined that the bulk of the accounts that were going to authenticate (active accounts) would do so during these periods so they'd reach the vast majority of accounts without breaking the systems using those accounts

There are different strains of yeast going around that can have different flavors but, in general, you can start a yeast culture on your counter and get good bread. You can tweak how you feed your starter (and build it up for use) to contro

Shopping bags need to be washed, too. Meat juices, being set down on dirty surfaces (bus stop, muddy driveway), left for a week in a house with pests or vermin, etc. Most people are not going to want to reuse someone else's reusable ba

This is true. You also need to take into account how each day is a smaller and smaller percentage of your life which might be why kids think summer vacation lasts forever but it flys by for parents.

I don't want to get into it but I've dealt with issues like this and I don't think you are terrible or bad at your job. I'm seeing a lot of shade going your way. Sometimes a particular configuration works well until some

I've been playing Go since I was a young teenager (in the 80s). I don't play more than once or twice a year now. Just online "play one turn a day" go server games. I am telling you this because you can really enjoy Go li

I normally use FB as a birthday reminder and sometimes group chat with friends who mainly use it to stay in touch. I recently joined a neighborhood group because there's been a bunch of property crime and we're all sharing camera

I am excited for you but that "journey of discovery" is way, way too addictive for me. I find myself chasing edge case requirements in my config rather than getting work done. To each thier own, of course! I still use Emacs when I

This is very, very true in my experience. After years and years of trying out all, I keep coming back to a list of tasks in a sheet so I've combined the two. It's just so easy to reconfigure or query. And with Google Sheets on my

Unless you are rich enough to have chosen it, or maybe a prisoner, you always have more than one thing to do. Laundry, groceries, complex engineering, it all needs to be done. I think our minds evolved to track all these things and, probabl

I've been wondering if the recent addition of AMP to Gmail as precursor to Gmail having RSS integration. I know I'm delusional but it feels good to think there might be a push back to RSS reading in a Google product.

I make little mistakes like this all the time in a massive code base. What I do is do a diff on the code to see what's changed. Much easier than hunting through. This applies any time it "should work" but does not. Also, I am

I go out of my way to tell my child when I don't know something or was wrong. Then I go out of my way to show them how I learn that fact or right the wrong, if I can. They learn very quickly and deeply by following your example.

I was really good at getting up early and working on my projects before everyone woke up (30 minutes a day, more or less) then we moved to a new time zone and my work day starts at 5:00 instead of 8:00. Meanwhile, we moved because my spouse

If you haven't checked out exwm, it might be worth a look. You can use Emacs commands to manage windows, etc. Re shell cut and paste - I've often piped the shell output into a file open in Emacs, you then just revert the buffer an
