I’m glad you made it man. I don’t know how much longer I can hold out

Doesn't that shift the problem to caching false then :D

Will this correctly retrieve 0 values? AFAIK 0 is falsey in Ruby ``` return nil unless entry ```

Good riddance! I’m optimistic that these guys will transform the typing landscape, which, let’s be honest, has room for improvement. I find mypy abysmal to use, bug-ridden with wei…

Are you on Linux by chance? Your font doesn’t look like it has anti aliasing which seems like a common Linux thing

Being the exception to the rule doesn’t disprove the rule

This. GitHub is a joy to use compared to its competitors. Using bitbucket at work is frustrating, and reminds me of a lot of Microsoft web interfaces, ironic, given that it’s GitHu…

Being the subject of psychological experiments at Harvard probably did a number on him

Oops -- nice, thank you! Sorry, guess I was mistaken

Unless my test methodology was flawed: Displays 0.3: "=0.1+0.2" Displays 3E+79: "=(0.1+0.2)*1e80"

Not in my experience. I was using a Dell work laptop recently and decided to use Linux instead of windows. Once I got things working mostly to my liking, I updated the GPU drivers …

Yet it’s true, from my experience being unemployed but still being financially stable. Work provides a lot of purpose and fulfillment that isn’t so easily replaced, although defini…

I was working on a library to do this which I never got around to fully finishing but the idea is there: https://github.com/lime-green/django-orm-plus I think all I had left was po…

Canola oil as far as I know is the most refined oil on the market. One of the processing steps adds trans fats, and another adds synthetic antioxidants because of the naturally low…

It appears I’m one of the very few happy about this change. I miss my colleagues at work and having fun discussions about programming, investing, podcasts. I miss the adhoc discuss…

Hey I read your notes on Dr. Yapko's lecture on depression which led me to watch the lecture and I found it immensely helpful. Do you have any other resources you would recommend?

It’s funny, I’ve always heard great things about Meditations but I found it to be one of the least approachable books on stoicism. Perhaps I didn’t like the terse note format. On t…
