I mean - alcohol is like violence... and xml. If it doesn't solve your problem you aint using enough.

Funny. Working with XML often drives me to violence and alcohol.

Consider yourself fortunate. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of a YAML binge.

I was listening to a lot of Mixergy some 10 years ago and I really enjoyed it but for some reason stopped. I was looking for something to listen to couple weeks ago and after spending some 20 minutes to remember the name "Mixery" I listened to couple of his latest podcasts. It feels so different now. I think the general attitude of Andrew towards his guests has changed a lot. He is so pushy now and it feels like the…

I haven’t listened in several years but I tried a few tonight and they are really good and feel like what I remember. Andrew seems to be better at asking the mid-interview questions early, which is more interesting. The guests are giving specific answers with plenty of detail.

"Make things as simple as possible, but no simpler." - Einstein "Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication." - Da Vinci I had been exploring this idea in my codegolfing. For example: https://www.dwitter.net/d/15323

lol, codegolfing is the opposite of simplicity. Although to be fair, the code you linked to is much more readable than I had anticipated.

well, you do bring up a good point. perhaps codegolfs are more succint rather than simple. the idea is more with less

Well, that was quite something. > The funny thing here is that I'm 100% aware that our stories are wrong. Our own stories, doubly so. We back-fit narratives. Our minds rewrite what we remember ourselves thinking at the time. What are some ways to break out of this mode, and look back upon the timeline for what it was? robfitz wrote 'The Mom Test', so they must know!? > So our stories are wrong. But they still matter.…

>What are some ways to break out of this mode I would guess the best answer here is to write down everything. Keep a journal. Write down events as soon after they happen as possible, write down your thoughts about the event, write down your emotions and connect them to the events that generate them. I think a somewhat decent mental model here is to think of our brains as write-only memory. Every time you remember som…

I always thought this happened because we don’t remember pain which is nice.

I think the key is to get a modest sail boat like a sunfish similar size. The cost are way more manageable.

Yeah, I looked at trailer sailers (although I wanted a cabin), but it wasn't really viable for the types of travel I wanted to do. Now that my life and location are slightly more predictable, a 7m with a small cabin that could go on a trailer would be ideal. (Although I'm sure I won't end up making that sensible choice.)
