A recent upgrade to Dietpi (Debian Trixie) totally broke `docker` operations in Swarmpit. Swarmpit is essentially abandoned, so I used it as an opportunity to migrate to Uncloud. I…

On MacOS: Option-Shift-Hyphen for em-dash Option-Hyphen for en-dash Shift-Hyphen for underscore

Just to add my own observation here: some cuisines are really optimized for sharing in larger groups… certainly a lot of the regional Chinese cuisines assume many people at a table…

I dunno whether "good" really applies to this, but I've gotta say I've been loving the cost, portability and reliability of the Numark DJ2Go Touch ($AU120): https://www.numark.com/…

Not a course, as such, but reading “Measurement” by Paul Lockhart, of “A Mathematician’s Lament fame. I’ve never read anything that so clearly communicates and leads you into a sta…

“Measurement” by Paul Lockhart, of “A Mathematician’s Lament” fame. This was recommended by the delightful and talented Tibees YouTuber. A few pages in and I was absolutely hooked …

Interesting stuff. Would be VERY interested in having visualizations of Apple Music data. I've had 20+ years to build up pretty significant play history. Certainly being able to lo…

This is gonna sound a bit corny, but it impacted me for reasons that will become clear: "1984", by George Orwell. I was 13 at the time, and I was lucky enough to have a passionate …

This is remarkably similar to Calca.app, which I still use occasionally. http://calca.io/ I love that yours is web based! Can see it being much more reusable in a number of use-cas…

My body is a temple: old, crumbing and full of unspeakable horrors.

Mexican proverb: Every revolution eventually becomes another government.

Ah, but it’s an idempotent joke, so it’s funny no matter how many times you tell it!

A squib is what they use in movies to make something look like it’s been shot with a bullet. Kinda a little flat firework that ejects “stuff” explosively. Actors wear them under th…

If brute force doesn’t work, you’re not using enough of it. There are only 2 hard problems in computer science: 1. Naming things 2. Cache invalidation 3. Off-by-one errors 0. Async…

This is inspiring stuff. Was extremely interested in the Inmos Transputer in the 80s. Seems like an idea way ahead of its time… a bit like REX. I find the parallels in design with …

Tried going through the onboarding sample project from within VS-Code locally… I know, you suggest trying it in the Github Browser, but, hey, I'm perverse and it's available as an …

This is so insultingly dumb. The skill and music categories are simplistic and show no knowledge of the true depth and breadth of music styles or techniques, and it pathetically as…

Would like to also add: Pros: * Salaries are pretty excellent for tech-workers and pretty active demand for talent. * Sane healthcare system (can get free/cheap, quality medication…

Laws regarding this are different from country to country. I know that the US laws are very biased towards the employer, and the employee gets to be put in a terrible situation. Au…

Yeah, I dunno why I let it happen either. I’d never been like that with any other job. My only guess is the explanation I gave in my other post above/below. It certainly hasn’t hap…

Been in that situation before too. Damn that sucks.

Oh, absolutely agree. Some people really THRIVE when they become parents, and hooray for them. It’s different for everyone.

The travel thing is definitely something I wish I could do more of, so if your current employer enables that, that’s a big plus for your mental health. Do you think your current em…

That’s a very good question. Hubris? I guess? What I mean by that, was I was REALLY invested in the project: not the business case, or the brand or anything else about the company,…
