I could also see myself in Mexico City since I already speak Spanish pretty fluently, and have far more friends who expatriated there, but I really wanted to learn Russian and Berl…

I do love living in New Orleans, either this or Brooklyn are the only real cities for me here. I need to be able to walk to a grocery store. I'm privileged to have lived here for 6…

Seems the intent is to clearly separate commentary from code. I could see that being intentional, imagine cursive annotations on a printed document.

I tried a few prompts that were misses, and there was one that it nailed on the head. Here's the prompt > The pace of technological and social evolution, catalyzed by massively acc…

I really work as a software engineer / designer so I can continue making music. Music is my life. https://soundcloud.com/tastycode/shelter https://soundcloud.com/tastycode/shimmer …

Git’s style of decentralization, still requires individual git servers no? Is there something like git, but based on magnet/torrent architecture?

This advice will sound like a joke, but getting drunk in your target language goes a long way. I studied Spanish for years but didn't feel like I had it "in flow", and couldn't qui…

It wasn't euphoria. It was the realization that the finest intricate details embedded in the way I breathe, reflect my experiences, and my emotional connection to those details is …

Holotropic breathing. Someone in my town offers workshops on Conscious Connected Breathing. I would have never thought that just breathing for an hour would fundamentally change my…

Some say that New Orleans is so far behind, that it's ahead. Definitely true. The information systems in SF all feel like they were built in 2010. I've had a digital ID ( https://a…

> IIRC only ~10% of prisoners are held in privately run prisons. It's kind of a red herring. I disagree. Even if only 10% of prisoners are held in privately run prisons, the corpor…

The OP glossed over managing styles and i18n between embedded JS apps and the host app. I'm not sure if there is a way to create strictly isolated CSS in pure server rendered appli…

“goof around”?

You can use custom queries in metabase and parameterize them, for any parameter you can expose the parameter with a text field available when you embed the "question" anywhere. htt…

I think Docker is very useful for beginning developers and for spinning up and trying out services quickly. The barrier for getting started with web development used to be so much …

Here's the guide I used to setup a cloud desktop on GCP http://timbot-inc.blogspot.com/2015/11/cloud-workstation-how...

My battery started failing on my 2016 Macbook Pro. I took it in and Apple said it would take 5 days to fix. I found a loaner macbook, but didn't want to setup a whole development e…

I'm mentoring a team of student-developers and need to come up with a few projects for them to work on. It would be great if they had some things to work on that could solve challe…

One tip, is to keep re-using them as long as you can. We have non-biodegradable trashcan liners for our kitchen trash-can. It helps that we recycle, compost, and are vegan (so noth…

I started writing myself weekly letters. I would, in narrative form: tell myself what I really enjoyed; what was stressful; and what didn't work out. I came up with a list of affir…

Having been a rails engineer for 12+ years, I can say I haven't used rails for front end work in about 5 years. In 2011 I started migrating front ends from erb to ERB heavily enhan…

I just eat in a 3 hour window starting at 6pm every weekday. I sometimes do this on weekends as well. If you're curious what I eat in that window, it's mostly non-starch based vege…

I'm really surprised intermittent fasting hasn't been mentioned. I've found eating one meal/day or restricting eating to a 3 hour window to be very beneficial for my energy levels,…

I think 'hostile' is a bit harsh. I'd say 'infinitely reticent to large changes'. All the neovim authors wanted, was a list of blockers needed to merge their async patch. Bram woul…
