It's crazy that prisma had 40k github stars last I checked. I haven't followed the js ecosystem that closely, but I thought stars would be some indication of quality, but no. It is…

Glad I'm not the only one who finds Prisma an abomination. Claude suggested it to me in December. I hit half a dozen bugs within a day, one of which wiped my DB. I switched to driz…

Do you know about Bear? It means "to endure", but it also is the name of a note-taking app in the Apple ecosystem.

That's interesting. If you think it could be a nervous system issue, have you tried herbs that calm the nervous system or looked into ayurveda or relaxation techniques? Sorry for t…

I'm curious, have you lived in the same place this whole time? If the pain came back when you returned home, maybe there is some environmental cause for it, possibly something poor…

I really resonate with the "Acceptance" section. I came to a similar realization, that having strong negative emotions about the pain just made everything worse. Stress causes infl…

From what I can recall, he does encourage people not to stop exercising when they experience psychosomatic pain. The idea is that stopping exercise because of pain gives it validit…

I know of such a community: https://ledstrain.org/ While it's informative, I would proceed with caution. Many users there indulge in a level of obsession that is not helpful. The b…

Hello fellow KC resident! That's some impressive experience - wish you well in your search.

Is there any evidence for these accusations? I'm impressed that they pay people to take the tests. They (seem to) do things the right way.

I didn't like frecency in this and similar tools. I would often get put in directories that I didn't want. I wrote my own simple script that just uses recency, and if there's multi…

I had the same thought for a restaurant website that served multiple languages. I figured customers might glance at the URL when it's being shared, and appreciate it being in their…

I simply need wide support. I made some websites for a client who receives many 1. older customers and 2. customers from all over the world. I was conscious of the possibility that…

I guess that most applies to the Prophets, who were warning a sinful nation of impending destruction, but it still seems like an oversimplistic view of the scriptures. Even in the …

In the NRSV and ESV it says "a root of all kinds of evils".[0] That seems more accurate to me, because there are different roots of evil, including pride and lust. But if I underst…

If possible, I would highly recommend going part-time. I wasn't close to burn-out, but my mental health and stress levels are much better since I made the switch. Worth it for that…

I've never used PS and still think Gimp is probably the most unintuitive UI I've ever used.

Didn't know that about flickering, interesting. Maintaining the candle properly by e.g. trimming the wick does help with a clean burn. Beeswax has almost no flicker and gives off l…

I had a very similar experience with insomnia. My whole life I couldn't fall asleep on time. At one point, having tried everything, I just stopped caring. If I didn't sleep much on…

I had a similar thought. It seems like an attack on morality, implying that there is no true morality or God-given conscience, only fear of consequences. > After exactly 6 hours, a…

Thanks, good to know. I had two citronella candles next to me but I guess it wasn't enough for the mosquitoes. I haven't had a problem with soot, maybe it depends on the kind of ca…

Recently I got some anti mosquito candles. They didn't really work for the intended purpose, but they had the unexpected effect of making me sleepy in the evening. So I stopped usi…
