Adopting https://github.com/marlonrichert/zsh-snap was probably the best decision I've made around zsh in the last five years.

It does more, it also includes a compatibility layer allowing you to require ESM packages in CJS. It's quite handy!

If a library author or maintainer isn't a Stackaid user, what happens to their allocated funds?

https://github.com/ibraheemdev/modern-unix is a pretty decent list.

Howdy HN, I'm part of a small team in Seattle, WA that worked over the last 2 weeks to put together a contact tracing app that is focused on user privacy. The app works by recordin…

+1 for Sqitch. If you include a full deploy -> verify -> revert -> deploy flow in your automated testing suite you can pretty safely introduce changes that can be rolled back witho…

Heh, no I’m not and yes I did see it. That was actually what made me stop working on the project.

I use a Herman Miller Aeron and have nothing but good things to say about it.

+1 well worth checking this tool out. Saved me a lot of effort setting up a GCP Kubernetes deployment two months ago. So far it has been a matter of set it and forget it.

Meditation works well for me. The trick is you need to be consistent and patient. Try out the Calm app (my favorite), Headspace, or read "The Mind Illuminated" and start practicing…
