re: ice, yes, though I know Trumpkin and other traditionalists would be appalled. I do (occasionally) practice meditation - but I don't ever want to do it in a sauna. I have no pla…

Thanks for the links. I built my own super cheap (under $100) electric sauna, though I would not recommend it for anyone else to copy. It's lasted me about 4 years now though with …

I built a super cheap "traditional" dry sauna. It's basically an electric burner, a pot to increase surface area and humidity, a 25 foot roll of thermal foil, and a sleeping bag as…

On that very, very short wooden rectangle in the center of the platform in the photo. It's less a thing I sit on and more something I "asian squat" on. So I end up facing the burne…

This is a good point, and was brought up in a response to a study from Laukkanen: https://sci-hub.se/10.1001/jamainternmed.2015.3432 > heart rate increases up to 100 beats/min duri…

> trpc relies still on strings I believe this is only the case with routes, and they're still statically typed. E.g. if you only define `/getUser` and try to invoke `/gteUsre`, it …

Zod allows for more complex validation like "input cannot exceed 256 chars", "number must be positive", or even arbitrary "refinements". I could, of course, simply write a function…

How does this compare to https://trpc.io/ ? Edit: so far, I'm preferring trpc, because it has support for zod and a few other libraries https://trpc.io/docs/v9/router It seems like…

You can also use PouchDB with RxDB, which _is_ reactive. https://rxdb.info

RxDB with PouchDB has support for typescript, json schema, and binary attachments. Moving the attachments to the file system will be up to you. https://rxdb.info/rx-schema.html

I enjoyed this: https://staffeng.com/book Not a staff though so can't attest to how true/accurate/effective it is.

I obtained a Charybdis [0] last month - the trackball is right at your thumb. My hands virtually never leave the keyboard. Honestly I'm still trying to get my WPM back up to where …

I got my mother listening to The Drive with Peter Attia. https://peterattiamd.com/podcast/ It's probably her personality type, but she's taken to completely binging the episode arc…

I believe the mechanical keyboard you speak of is an external device (and not part of the laptop frame).

Fair. I do consider it hairsplitting, but I suppose nuance is very important to these discussions.

And in the case of investments, there is an _advantage_ to going through the legal process (in the US): you get a step up in basis. > Step-up in basis refers to the adjustment in t…
