I’ve done this enough times I chain the desired command and the cd together: cd ~/x/y/z && my-command So that when I CTRL-R for my-command it automatically reminds me.

I used to feel this was true for me, and to a large degree still do. But lately I’ve been wondering to what extent this is a self-limiting belief, and how much I can train myself t…

Database indices.

Possible, yes, and frequently used I’m sure, but entangles the retirees financial future with the business’s future — the retiree loses if the new owners make bad decisions, overle…

Building inspections are not really the same as purchase inspections, or at least don’t seem to me like they should be. Purchase inspection generally might not see a partially-cons…

Gotta love military-grade pragmatism.

I am SUPER worried about this when it affects something really important, like getting the client/customer/merchant/cardholder their money. It seems like the world has moved on wit…

I have the same problem with textmate :-(

Probably not, but could emulate SNES on a Linux!

Really interesting. I've been on Adderall for almost 10 years and am constantly accused of being overly optimistic, which sounds a lot like the "the brain to fix its attention on t…

Everything is a probability game; it’s not about reducing risk to zero (impossible!) but having less risk than the alternative.
