    Huge fan of the Uni-ball Signo UM-151 Gel Pen (I get the 28mm). I've been buying them from jetpens for years.

    In the video, they apparently didn't actually check up on the answer it gave about the next eclipse. The April 8 2024 total eclipse is best seen in North America. Exmouth Australia…

    Just want to say I've recently started listening, and I really love the podcast. The last few interviews have been fascinating and really well done!

    I also use Nix, and agree with these caveats. My personal experience is that it can be hard to initially set up Nix, but once you do, it's rock solid. It's particularly great for s…

    The mockingbirds and catbirds I’ve heard are easy to identify, not from a particular sound but from how they string sounds together. It seems to me they copy notes, but not songs.

    Yeah, you missed where it seems to nearly pull out right in front of a truck hauling a boat (~8:27).

    In my experience, Wyoming was one of the most pleasant states to bike across (apart from the bits of interstate you need to take). Highways with wide shoulders and little traffic. …

    Love that this is a project, anything to get more people doing long distance biking in the US. I'll just add that on my tours, I tended to avoid rail trails. They are nice at first…

    I'm pro-office, and I'm not a manager or anything. I just prefer working in offices, and prefer when my colleagues do too, because I find face-to-face interaction much more satisfy…

    Thanks for explaining! It sounds like I am just lucky with my set up not to run into issues. Hopefully they come up with a solution soon.

    It's funny, I just had to do this a few days ago. This comment has worked for me on two machines: https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/2925#issuecomment-539570...

    Nix is very cool, and I encourage anyone to at least install nix on their machine and try it out. I started using it on my Mac, mostly to set up a Haskell environment, which at the…

    What you describe can also be done with one buffer and multiple windows that show the same buffer, and I do this all the time. The position of the cursor is associated with a windo…

    I think the filter you would need for a fisheye like that would be specialized and somewhat expensive, though, due to the protruding front element. Someone in the comments said it …
